AMMONIA POISONING IN GOLDFISH (how to treat and prevent)

Ammonia/nitrite poisoning is a common problem you can deal with with when you first get a fish into a new system. Also I forgot to show this on camera but I also added 4x dosage safe into the tank after the water change. This helps temporarily detoxify the ammonia and nitrite while the filters get back on their job of cycling. Hope this helps anyone else that may come across this problem.

Name the goldfish Mrs.Clean, Princess Peach , or Mochi

[@Michaeldemented94]

Do you ever still think about releasing their original dirty water in the tank along with them? I wonder if the waste from in their original water could have helped with cycling your sponge filters more.

Give yourself a salt/methaline blue bath. You deserve it

[@jenpink4298]

Someone suggested princess peach yesterday and I think that would be really cute. Also this must’ve been scary, these are really special and beautiful fish! I hope that these blue beauty baths will help them!

[@tracyk4352]

The name Peach just popped into my head for her. Peach or Princess Peach would be perfect for her!

[@lindsayaltitonante20]

​@Tracy K I also thought she looked like a 🍑 for her Princess Peaches and Cream❤❤

[@drewdoesrandomstuff]

I feel that the name sandy cheeks is a bit better but you do you

[@batterybrainz]

When I saw the color my first thought was Peach or Peaches for a name

[@attackehh]

They'd probably get a copyright strike so... maybe just peach?

[@FireElement7]

The jiggly one looks like she should be named Popcorn 🍿❤ Thank you for providing excellent and accurate info on goldfish care. Most people don't know their needs or how labor intensive their care is.❤

The white goldfish looks like a Casper to me and also can you name one of the common goldfish magickarp?

[@dorinavatra6693]

You can call the white lady gigle

[@MasterBlakeYT]

Hey Luke! I’m going to get goldfish soon! And I’m going to get 2. But I don’t want breeding to happen. So do you recommend getting 2 females or 2 males? Or does the gender nit matter much if they’re the same? Just wondering if one was easier or less aggressive!

[@Pokenite_Enthusiast]

@@JCLJCL9 good idea

[@Entitea.]

Call them Jigglypuff

[@sanjogsinghbanga5031]

Name of this fish should be kept "Maachhii"

[@777xVendetta]

Or mochi

In Bengali a language In India it means Fishes in the language.

Have you thought about her being Princess Peach yet

[@StarChannel..]

Yeah

[@volvo09]

Wow, those poor fish would have been dead if that package got delayed! They are so cute!

[@quartzossie]

Even though I don't have goldfish, this is super helpful if I want to get another axolotl! May I suggest the name Tamago for the chubby-chinned goldfish? It means egg in Japanese.

[@EmEm78]

I vote for Tamago too, it's perfect for the round eggy girl. Just FYI, if you do get an axolotl, as amphibians their needs are very different to fish. Although I've used salt baths (under the direction of our exotics vet), they're done at specific dilutions and for less time. Same with methylene blue. Axies tend to be a lot more sensitive to things :) I hope you're able to own axolotls again in the future, they're such cool pets!

[@obligatorychannel8890]

The white fish reminds me of a peach, she's so cute. Name wise I'd probably go with some variation of peach... Peachy, Peaches, Princess Peach, or Momo (peach in Japanese bc why not) Hope the fish are doing better!

[@duchessSakura]

Wow! So much work goes into fishies!

[@Boja23]

When I had to move my goldfish out of my outdoor pond to do some work, I had a beneficial bacteria die-off. I didn't put the filter in with my holding tank (stupid). When I noticed there was something wrong with the fish the next day, I did a full water test. 8ppm of ammonia! Actually, it couldn't have been darker green at the bottom of that scale. I turned over the water 2 -3 times with water changes, and it was still registering, so I added some ammo lock. This methylene blue salt bath would have been a great method for the fish really acting stressed. I have no idea how I didn't lose any fish! 5 giant fantails, 3 - 8" goldfish, 100 swordtails, 50 platies, and about 10 mollies. 0 deaths! My god, man, how!? I saved/created the new cycle by adding a giant bag of bio rings that had been sitting in the waterfall overflow and adding API quick start. I also added media and mulm from my indoor tanks.

[@Acepilot2k7]

I heard the beneficial bacteria from the bottle wont start the cycle without a food source in the water. Great video Luke

[@bird2034]

Their food source is the fish’s waste

Looks like one of em was eating up the few eggs left over in large tank after you placed them back in, at the end. A good sign!

I wonder what the fish think of the weird blue baths. Though I'm guessing they're more worried about being picked up than the different waters.

Hi Luke What kind of Bread is chicken Steve

[@LogansAquatics-jz4cs]

You should instant cycle with fritz turbo start

[@queopier]

I recently got a flowerhorn fish, and he's been really stressed and lethargic and won't eat anything, no matter what I do. I think the nitrite and ammonia are too high, so I've been doing 10-20% water changes every day, but I'm worried it's not enough because he hasn't been responsive much these past few days. Should I also do the salt bath method?
