[@sventer198]

The “goldfish” you show here are actually Comets, a smaller family member of the Koi that can come in many of the same striking colours, but not all. They are both forms of carp. You are correct that the comets are more indestructible as I’ve experienced them travelling 800 km in a black garbage bag in the back of a truck without any impact, also living in water so putrid it was more solid than liquid. They will also destroy your plants if they’re not large or established before you introduce them. In a fish tank they are pretty destructive. In large ponds, not so much. They easily become an invasive species that breeds out and decimates local fish populations in areas where they’re accidentally or deliberately introduced into a non-native eco system. They can, and will eventually get sick and die if not cared for. Both species are susceptible to fin rot, but otherwise are pretty tough. Both species are also quite personable with distinct personalities and behaviours that are pretty cute. Both are also trainable, but Comets are not as smart as Koi. Comets can get pretty large too, up to 30cm. It depends on the size of their pond and the number of other fish in there. Koi won’t survive such terrible treatment for long, but they’re not that sensitive. They live happily in the pretty gross waters in the palace moat in Tokyo. Koi can survive brutal winters too, however, however the secret lies in feeding them the right high protein food before the pond freezes over so they have enough reserves to keep them going through winter. I’m sure if you google “overwintering koi under ice” you’ll find more info on that. Koi ARE much more intelligent than Comets and can even be trained to respond to a bell rung to announce dinner time. Train yours to do it, it’s very nice to see them racing to get fed.

[@CountrySing]

My koi have stopped eating...Help?

[@sventer198]

@@CountrySing what is the water temperature like? If it drops too much the koi won’t eat because they go into a state of torpor to conserve energy.

Sorry for late reply. Hope they’re still alive.

Comets are goldfish, not koi. They are bred from goldfish in America.

We started our pond with gold feeder fish. Splurged on some other fancy goldfish to mingle with them. We use the Japanese pellet fish food. Expensive, but so worth it. Our feeder goldfish and fancy speckled are healthy, large and bright. They do know us. They don't come over for just anyone. Like your video. Thanks

[@matthewbradford6489]

Every goldfish I have had has been very intelligent, they have picked up on feeding times and have grown beautifully

[@ryhan9896]

Why are my goldfish and koi afraid of people. They have plenty of shelter, a filter, a perfectly quarantined pond with only algae and a few insects here and there but the water is clear as crystal. Yet when i go to feed them at their usual time and place they never rush up to eat like ive seen in many other places. Once you leave that is when i can see them feasting from a distance.

[@nanderlizernanderlizer684]

@@ryhan9896 it could be because you do not have enough koi in your pond. if you have few koi they are less confident. a good way to get them to come to you for feeding is to get more koi or get a chagoi. chagoi are very friendly and they encourage other koi to be friendly too

Shibunkins are always the cutest goldfish in my opinion when I see them at the pet store, I don’t have the space to keep any myself but they’re so pretty.

[@TheHendricksFamily]

My gold fish are the same, they know when it’s feeding time they all come to the same spot and they all have different personalities

[@Dovietail]

Simple and fair comparison. Many of my $0.16 goldfish are now elegant footlong beauties. You can find a wide variety of colors and patterns in simple "feeder" comets if you're willing to put in the time to search.

[@soggymilquetoast]

Dovie Dossett I found a very beautiful red and white fish that is now just stunning!

[@helloworld-ow9tf]

Well, some feeder comets they sell in pet store change color as they age. I got a plain grey one a few years ago, but over the years it gradually changes to a whitish orange color, with only the top fin left that's still grey. So imo it really doesn't matter what color they are when they are babies.

[@Dovietail]

@@helloworld-ow9tf This is true to a certain extent. Knowing how various colored goldfish tend to mature is similar to knowing how koi varieties tend to mature. Also, because of my hard alkaline desert well water, I can always count on a fish going black or dark if they have that tendency in their genetics.

[@soggymilquetoast]

James Fisher they do? The most expensive comet I’ve gotten is a 48 cent one . I don’t think the 10$ one is a comet goldfish.

Thanks for the info. I built my first pond this month and was debating on this very topic. Do other fish do well in pond settings such as Mollys or tetras?

I’ve had both at once and since got rid of my goldfish and now only have Koi. I did have a goldfish named Fabio with its long elegant fins. I secretly miss that fish.

[@jeannesophis6120]

The only thing I would disagree with is that goldfish don’t recognize their feeder or feeding time. Mine are at the surface when feeding time comes and get very excited when they see me coming.

actually mine knows when I got home, when I enter our room they get excited and swims towards the front glass but even if my brother sits in front of it they ignore him but as for me they swim merrily, also they love swimming around my hand while doing water change. Among my ranchus, danios, mollies and bettas I say that bettas are quite intelligent and ranchus are like puppies that loves affection.

[@mathewdavis-adventuresandd6643]

Same, my pond is approx 1/2 acre and they know exactly where they are going to be fed and what time.

[@retroesports_]

My goldfish are clever and fast 💨 I like them also because they look like baby koi and I love goldfish and in my pond they might be big because it’s a big pond, and I don’t care of they’re quality, I care if they survive, and as soon as they see food they ZOOM SO FAST! And I have blue orfes and a perch and the perch is making them more encouraged so my goldfish (sarasa comets) are fine

[@thanos6346]

When we moved into the house we live in now, the severely neglected fish pond came under my care. It hadn’t been maintained for at least a year. The pond was full with twigs and leaves and other detritus, and there was no filter or aerator. We removed the detritus, stirring up enough sediment to render the water the tone and opacity of chocolate milk. Later, we replaced the water and as of writing all 3 of the goldfish present in the pond when we moved in are alive and well more than a year after.

[@aluvrianne]

You could set an atomic clock by my current goldie's feeding schedule. He knows exactly when its dinner time and the faces that match the opposable thumbs to drop his vittles into the tank. When he doesn't get fed at the usual hour, he'll spit rocks at the glass until he's got your attention and you serve him like the scaley orange prince that he is. I've had goldfish I've taught to do tricks, hand feeding, and brilliant (and different) personalities for each.

[@janicetan3874]

Most of the info in this video was great, but after hearing him say goldfish aren't as intelligent it made me wonder if the person who put together all that info has even interacted with goldfish before 🤷‍♀️ I don't even keep goldfish but in shops they've always been extremely interactive and I've seen other people train them to do a variety of tricks

[@violetopal6264]

My fish lives in a tank and had a habit of slashing people if they came over and didn't feed him. First time he tried after the new lid was on I heard a thump. He looked a little dazed for several seconds but was fine.

[@aluvrianne]

@@violetopal6264 In the last year, my big guy has gotten so big that when he kicks up a stink about wanting snacks, he will purposely slap his whole body up out of the water and try to dislodge the hood. I've been on livestreams when he's decided it's time for fudz and he's insufferable to the point of making so much noise that I'm distracted. I love this guy, but he's the dumbest goldfish I've ever had. He's gotten rocks stuck in his mouth that I've had to pry out. He runs into walls at full speed because he doesn't remember that his glass box is enclosed. He'll hit himself in the head just to get me to give him shrimp and peas, which are his absolute favorites.

[@musk-eteer9898]

my goldies smack the water surface with their mouth really loud at night if i don't feed them enough

[@aluvrianne]

@@musk-eteer9898 Fudz! Hungry fishies demand fudz because they are famished! I know that sound. My first goldfish was a grade-A a-hole (tortured pet sitters for fun, and profit) when I was in graduate school and trying to work on assignments, I'd hear that for hours along with rocks being spit into the glass as hard as possible, teeth grinding, and the sounds of him swimming up the spillway on the hang-on-back filters, where I then got to listen to him smack and slurp on the delicious algae he found. And, if you ask a goldie how much fudz is enough, they let you know it's never enough!

I inherited some goldfish in ponds in the house we moved into, two-and-a-half years ago, and I’ve bought more, since (and some minnows and rosy barbs) and they all know who I am, when to expect to be fed, and if they don’t all mosey on up to the service counter by the time I get there, they all come a-swimmin’ when I tap their food container on the side of the ponds... and they all figured it out for themselves in short time. Also, they are no longer scared of me with the net, scooping out refuse for quite some time at a sitting; they know to keep away from me and also know that if I catch them, it’s unintentional and they’re released as soon as they’re scooped up 🙂

I was fortunate to buy most of the koi for a dollar each. Now I have decided I don't really want the goldfish. They are taking up space and eating the expensive koi food so I took about 30 of them out and sold them. Kept a few of the best white and orange colored ones. Since we live on a private lake I have to keep a net over the pond otherwise blue herons get in and wipe me out.

I'm pretty new at raising fish so I hope my question doesn't sound stupid. So having goldfish and koi together, can they cross breed ?

So I built 2 ponds the 2nd one for myself. It's small, 300 gallons and we have 10 goldfish in it. I have an aerator and a pond heater and a filter system. I live in Kentucky so our winters are kind of mild. some freezing weather and cold (freezing) temptures. My question is will our goldfish make it thru winter in our pond? I've watched other video's but you're easy to understand and explain everything thoroughly. I am also a new subscriber! :D Thank you!!

Yeah probably, goldfish overwinter pretty well. Be careful with that many goldfish in a pond that size, you ought to make sure you have a strong filtration system

When I transfer my goldfish and koi to another tank for a water change, my only koi somehow always know how to jump out even though it’s still a tosai

I used to have 9 koi fish they where real big. One Sunday I went to Church come back home went feed them, they where all gone. Till today I have no idea what happen, so I got feeders to see if I could find out what happen, now they all are 6 inch long, have 12 of them they are so big now they look Koi fish

What about shubunkins

I have 5 Koi in my pond which was recently redug and the filter cleaned. The old pond had a large all white Koi living by itself for a number of years before we bought the house. Apparently, a heron cleaned out the others years ago. Once we’d finished renovations, we bought 4 new Koi to give 'Fred' our existing fish some friends. At first, he chased them all around the pond, but soon tired after 24hours having to do 4 times the work to chase them all. For a period, the pond was normal with al, the fish feeding regularly from the surface, but for the last 5 weeks they sit on the bottom together with Fred and they rarely feed. If they do, they are like wild carp, rushing to the surface, grabbing a pellet and racing to the bottom. They appear very nervous. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? The water tester shows good quality water...

My fish were doing this ... did u make sure the temperature? Also fish like to hang out where they get the most oxygen so it could be that or a predator. As for my fish they never got along and then one day they were huddled together at the bottom for a week but after that they were INSEPARABLE!! Its as if they were bonding down there becoming one ...so wait it out if u checked everything else ...sometimes they just wanna chill and get to know eachother

In my experience Goldfish absolutely destroy my plants and are very smart fish. They all recognize their owners! (: Koi are cool too and I hope to get some one day

[@mujuninathan8371]

How long does it take for gold fish recognize the owner or feeder?... Am much interested in knowing
