Hey luke! Im wondering if there's some other stuff/backups that are maybe cheaper and are available worldwide. I'm not in an English country so I need a wide shipping company. Also I've heard that the beneficial bacteria can grow by themselves, is that true? I also have alot of questions but this Is it for now. Thank you!

Wow, things were different when I had mine 40 years ago. I read through books before I got my fancy goldfish but back then they were pretty inexpensive, even at a fish store. I had hanging filters, a heater and a couple air stones. For water I had a dechlorinator plus kept a few gallon jugs sitting open for a couple days to evaporate the chlorine. I fed them a couple kinds of foods, flakes and pellets plus dried worms. My books didn't say to use test kits, those were for "other" fish. Looks like an awful lot has been learned. I want fish again soon, but not until I am confidently up to date in care requirements.

I bought goldfish for my young daughter. She brought one from a carniuval and that did not go well. I then purchased 5 10 cent feeder fish. These are purchased as food for other fish. Treebasher fish had such a face. The others wre missing fins or others things. The first 10 cent fish passed at 11 years od. Numbers 2 and 3 went at 13 years old 4 and 5 went at 15 years old. They were so reactive for their whole life. They would splash to be fed. If I put my hand in the tank they would rub against it taking turns. So polite.

45 years ago I had a goldfish in a standard round goldfish bowl. Changed water as needed, city tap water. Fish flakes for food. Kept it quite awhile, until my 3 yo used a bar of soap, to give it a proper bath. He cried as if he'd killed a puppy. Are goldfish no longer strong stock? All the supplies needed now make keeping simple goldfish an expensive investment. Rethinking it now. I can do a lot of other things with $300-$400... Thx for the thorough intro to keeping goldfish.

Love the guide! Wish I had that when I started. Took lots of research and trial and error to get where I am now. Something I struggled with was finding the right filter and air pump that I could keep in my room... and I'm quite sensitive to noise... I eventually settled on the Eheim Classic 600 filter and Hygger adjustable air pump. Both are very quiet and I highly recommend them. Still looking for a good air stone. However, sponge filters are pretty quiet and agitate the surface enough so I've been using that for air lately. I think I might need to downgrade my air pump since I think it might be a bit too powerful for my current tank (had it for a larger one that I don't use anymore). Still sticking with Hygger though! There is little-to-no vibration with their pumps.

Two answers: 1. Natural ponds/wetlands have tons of plants and beneficial bacteria feeding off of them to filter the water in ways that aren't always possible in a tank or container. 2. Garden ponds or container ponds do indeed have filtration and testing, and that's a whole rabbit-hole of its own. But also they just have way more space per fish, which dilutes wastes so less drastic maintenance is necessary. l

My family gave me so much shit about the size of his tanks and all sorts of things growing up but come to find out they were STILL too small and he likely could have lived a lot longer if I’d upgraded his tank size. Shoulda coulda woulda, ofc, but just letting you know that I relate to the big heart LOL and I’m willing to bet those fishies are still alive 😊❤

goldfish does not require a lot of maintenance. just get a minimum of 25 gallon tank with a filter, foods, water conditioner, plants (big one or fake) and water changing. that's the most mandatory thing to have, even that seems like a lot but when you have one you're not gonna do much except water changing and feeding.

I honestly recommend everyone start with tropicals. Basic cichlids such as Convicts or Firemouths. Once you can keep them healthy and keep the tank balanced - then maybe switch to standard goldfish. If you can keep those alive and they do well, then try fancy goldfish. Fancy goldfish are just not a good fish to start with period. Extremely expensive imported goldfish are DEFINITELY not good to start with.
@lukesgoldies
@lukesgoldies 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah I think there are definitely easier types of fish to keep than fancy goldfish, but if a beginner does enough research, I think they’ll be able to keep some just fine. Putting so many types of fish through the same tank can increase the chances for a parasite problem in the future. If someone wants a goldfish, I’d honestly recommend they just go get that goldfish from the start. There are plenty of good cheap $30 options for smaller fancy goldfish.
@CanineGrowTime
@CanineGrowTime 2 жыл бұрын
@@lukesgoldies I KNOW many types of basic tropicals are far easier to keep because I keep them as well as fancies. Fish that are thriving in a system for an extended period of time are very unlikely to leave anything behind that could infect the next batch of fish. You would clean the system well and change the scape anyway ideally. While you are correct that a beginner who wants to start with fancy goldfish most certainly can do so, I still say that because they are not at all hardy, that they don't make good starter fish. Also, not all tropicals make good starters either. This is why I used two relatively small and hardy species. Discus, for example, are very fragile, tend to be expensive, and require tanks larger than many can afford/keep up with. They make for poor starter fish very similar to fancy goldfish. Just my opinion. To each his own and everyone can enjoy the fishkeeping hobby however they like.

@@apss5736 I have an issue with fancy goldfish keepers who seem to try and push the agenda that these GMO inbred mutants are the same as normal fish. They aren't. Like at all. They have shorter lifespans. They're way harder to keep healthy. They have special requirements. They can get sick or get SBD or any other issue suddenly and without warning. There's a LOT of learning (years) to be a good fancy goldfish keeper and have some longevity from your fish. Your SOURCE of fish is also extremely important when it comes to these fish. Imports often have weird parasites and bacteria that are hard to fight. Extremely salt and med resistant strains of costia etc. Big box stores have more easy to fight issues such as ich, but the fish are tiny and often poor quality. You can't just buy from anywhere! Is it possible to have great success with fancy goldfish as your first type of fish? Yes. Is it probable? No.

It's been about 20 years ago but I used to have four fish tanks. My fancy goldfish tank was always my favorite. Two of my goldfish were named Hermy and Kermy and we're originally my tank starter fish. One had a long pretty tail and one didn't. Back then you used to use so many 10 cent goldfish per gallon of the tank size and let them go through the hard process of creating a biological filter bed that got get rid of the ammonia before you put in the expensive fish. It usually took a few several weeks. A lot of the feeders would die. I didn't use any heat and I had two large hanging filters on a 60 gallon tank. I used one large you sucker fish. Kermi and Hermie lived the longest, over 12 years. They were more like water dogs. I kept my tank clean by only feeding them every few days after years of having a dirty tank and cleaning it all the time.

Hey Luke, since past few days my gold fish had developed some reddots like ulsers, I had changed the water . Currently I am treating them with tetracycline anti biotic.. what else I can do.

Could you also add aquatic plants to the system to aid in Nitrate removal, that way you don't have to do that many water changes?

I set up a trapond 4ft x 2ft x 1ft so I have no idea how many gallons it is. I have 6 Goldies 4 butterfly tail, 1 ranchu with sigbs of sbd when I take her home and 1 pearl scale. I usually do water change every week but I'm living in a tropical country so when it's hot outside I just cover the trapond with sunscreen tarp or throw some ice cubes if it's so hot and if it rains for a week I just drain some water from it. I think if you keep Goldies and you want more than 2 of them just keep them outside like Luke does so you can set up a diy pond or grab a big tub.

I have a big goldfish in a 125, with platies and guppies. My goldfish is named Shirley. She is a water pig. She doesn't eat any babies. Don't bother plants either. I can actually pet her when I feed her. Love her.

BENJAMINBANNISTER ... I had 3 beautifull ordinary goldfish for 18 years. 25 gallon tank, NO HEATER, used undergravel filter, cleaned out once a month, no "real" plants. They were good. Oh and one weather loach too.

Man, I'm watching this and thinking about my poor 4 oversized koi goldfish living in their tiny foot washing tub that's not very deep or has a big diameter with no filter, we just suck out their poop with a mini turkey baster, I didn't even know about nitrifying bacteria's existence, and we just keep feeding them flakes because they don't like the pellets we gave them. Your fish look so happy, and I don't know if my fish are genuinely suffering or doing ok.

Hello I am not sure if you’ll see this but I recently bought a “jumbo goldfish” from petco and he started to develop these round black spots above his eye and then closer towards the middle section only on one side, he has gotten rid of most of the black spots and has some on his fins now, do you know what it might be? I am keeping him in a 20 gallon tank for now until all this goes away for fear he might spread it to the fish I have in my 55 gallon tank… any suggestions would be great!

My mom bought me 2 gold fishs, and i didn't knew ANYTHING about how to take care of them. I have a betta fish and its really easy to take care of, they dont poop alot and i keep him in a small jar and he is really happy and active. And the gold fish on the other hand is MUCH more complicated than i thought. I kept them in a small jar and i literally bought them yesterday and one of it died :(. I was so heartbroken and only one is alive now and im gonna get him a new friend and a bigger tank so he can be happy :). I still kept him in a small jar cuz i dont have a big tank right now and i will buy one tomorrow. I hope he stays alive
