THREE WAYS TO INCREASE OXYGEN LEVEL IN A FISH TANK

[@gracieortega8611]

I have to say I'm super entertained by just watching your water puppies in the background.

[@GoldfishCorner]

*Almost all kinds of goldfish prefer still water or quiet water* . Make sure you *minimize the water current in your tank as low as possible* . Strong current will change goldfish body shape and increase their stress level.... eventually lower their immunization and trigger diseases.

[@caserts33]

I just went thought getting mine into a larger tank and couldn’t figure out what I did wrong. They clamped, floated on bottom and lost a percentage of fins. What I did do different besides upping tank size was add a high flow filtration system. I couldn’t find this answer anywhere online but finally just put a sponge over the outlet and it slowed down the flow immensely. They seemed to respond almost over night. I hope I can still get good filtration and oxygenation by water movement at that speed. I got this filter for the job of both of those.

[@Jack-wc3ob]

@@caserts33 I figured out the same solution. I had a 2 foot spray bar that I now position vertically in the tank and I put sponge from a sponge filter on half of it. There’s enough circulation to clean the poop but not blow the fish around.

[@GRE3NSMOK3]

Thanks I'm going to try those, my fish are always up at the top, doing some torpedo dash, from the bottom to the surface..🤔

I love your videos Luke. Just out of curiosity how often can a female ranchu lay eggs? My bf started taking care of 2 fancies a male and a female whilst living with his previous roommates who weren’t feeding them regularly and the tank was poorly. His roommates decided to give the fishes to us since they no longer wanted to take care of fancies. The male oranda is big and chunky and has no issues. But the female ranchu has finally begun growing in size since living with us. But she has been laying eggs since April and so far she has laid eggs 9 times in just about 4 months. Since she measure 3.5 inch. We have been getting worried that it will take a toll on her tiny size. Is this considered normal for her size?

[@foewunfive7293]

can you show us your filtration system?

[@candycaneunicorn8024]

Adding salt increases oxygen. 5g per litre for plant less tank. 2g per litre for planted tank.

[@yournamehere3071]

Hey Luke is that a 55 gallon tank? I have a 55 g cycled tank waiting for fish. I’m actually considering orandas, for that tank size how many do you recommend I get? I plan on getting them small. Thanks for your reply 🐠🐠

[@Rp-ul6gl]

Sir loved your video sir I have question I have 5 fancy gold fish medium body one lion head orenda and one ranchu and 3 orenda my fancy gold fishes most of the time gasping at surface sir gasping at surface can causes swim bladder disease

[@lukesgoldies]

yea too much gasping can make them swallow air]

[@penguinstarlette4028]

Me, who has no fish And doesn't plan on getting any in a long time: I'm listening. This is important Me, who also has ADHD: fish in background move pretty

[@kristenjawor-brady8491]

How do you know if you have too much oxygen?

[@rokenrol17]

My water of gold fish is seriously getting dirty within 1-2 days.. I need an airpump to clean the huge amount of waste.. but will it be too powerful for them? I am using 40L of water aquarium and i think I'm getting sobo w2880f pump.. would u guys recommend it?

[@Dmc1iq]

Nice Jumbo Ranchus back there

[@talianavarro7674]

My betta constantly hangs out by the heater and the filter. I have him in a tall standing 10 gallon I’m not sure what’s going on. Any advice?

[@bojohannesen4352]

Get a cat

[@warrior4lyfe85]

I have a 55gal and I keep getting recommending the Wave Maker vs the ball shaped airstone I was going to get or the sponge filter. Why would the Wave Maker be better?

[@grahamjacob710]

High circulation with low noise levels. It's the favoured method in the marine world.

[@kalebmckinney1807]

Can you put a pleco with fancy goldfish? Sry just wondering

[@goldfishenthusiast3265]

I personally DO NOT recommend it.

[@WobblesandBean]

Pecos require warmer temperatures than goldfish do, so they would be stressed out in cold water. They also grow up to be massive, and will become aggressive. If you want algae control for a goldfish tank, get large snails like applesnails or mystery snails.

[@faheemysyaqireen2401]

I'll just say 'goldfish-goldfish' and not putting it with other fish,(plecos,snails )

[@Banferti]

I’m still crying over Georgie.

[@lukesgoldies]

I am sad about it too

[@rachelhuckaby8128]

Do you have any tips for brown algae? I got a nerite snail but it’s growing so fast. I do regular frequent water changes, but I’m getting discouraged by the look of the brown algae.

[@ray04gp]

I have a 55 gal that had a crazy brown algae issue. I put 6 auto cats in there and its clean as a whistle.

[@georgsoldier]

Dude you started by explaining how to increase oxygen and then you said the opposite haha its ok though mistakes happen

[@lukesgoldies]

haha yeah, did not think too hard at that point lol

[@aavril9400]

Which air pump you use? I have the tetra and it’s really loud

[@satishmaharjan8571]

I have planted tank with filter and no air pump.. still my fish lingering near the surface of the water. I am facing this problem from many weeks now.. i tried changing position of filter but doesnt works. need suggestions please

[@chazza234]

They both sit at the bottom.of the tank alot in the corner..is there anything we can do..

[@chynaw4475]

Do you think Oranda goldfish are a good beginner fish? I plan on getting some..

[@WobblesandBean]

I would recommend a ryukin over an oranda for beginners, just because they have the same body type only without the wen that covers their heads. The wen can grow too much and cover their eyes, and in some cases needs to be trimmed in order for the fish to be able to see.

[@cypherpunk12]

I have had a terrable time with my fish. I keep killing them and I still don't know why. Of the 8 original guppies I only have 3 left. I have spent tons on them trying to keep these last 3 alive. I have lowered the temperature to 68, they seem to like this temperature, I have gone overkill with the bubbles, I have a 10 gallon tank with a 20 gallon pump system attached. I purchased this all yesterday 2 of my guppies are having the time of their lives, with all of this stuff there is still one guppy that is on the surface all the time. He swims fine, and occasionally gets a burst of energy and swim's and plays with his friends, but still spends 90% of his life on the surface getting air. Will he recover if it's any help he is a juvenile, the other two are grown adults. It's tearing me apart each time I lose one, not just because I lose them, but because, I don't know what is killing them. I have spent $150 on medication, I buy special food just for guppies and measure it on the scales drug dealers use (I'm not a drug dealer) I have only a 10 gallon tank but for 3 guppies that's huge. I have the most elaborate water testing system that cost me over $100 and I keep the water unbelievably close to perfect. My nitrate got to 5ppm only once and I went mental getting it back to zero. Everything else is very close to 0, the alkaline sometimes creeps up but nothing crazy, and I'm on to that right away.

[@Libertyenvy]

Keep them in a big pond or small tanks that provide air bubbles because this fishes are very playful and like to explore add water plants too

[@Libertyenvy]

My fish are very fine without an oxygen as long as you have live plants and big diy pond

[@kruose]

You went overboard with the bubbles I think. They can get gas bubble disease when there is too much dissolved gases in the water. The floating fish probably didnt need air but couldn’t control their swim bladder anymore and the gases inside made it float.

[@rahulkuvlekar]

Luke important question - Where is bubba?🧐 I don't see him behind you.

[@lukesgoldies]

down to the bottom tank with brad!

[@Abigaillynns]

I have an oranda that I’m pretty sure can’t see because his wen is over his eyes and he’s always at the bottom of his tank, I really feel like I need to go into cutting his wen and doing the whole surgery thing but I’m so scared! Please help!

[@oENSHUo]

You can't imagine how much I hate when one of my goldies starts munching the surface of the water for an hour or two... this sound is so irritating. 😏

[@lukesgoldies]

haha I hate the sound too

[@WobblesandBean]

Awe, I like the sound! But not too much cuz of what it means.

[@bennydoodoo9715]

those piggies. idk but they make my day:) love to see it

[@lukesgoldies]

thx!

[@youssifao_1277]

[@Moonlight76876]

Thank you for sharing.

[@dmitrimikrioukov5935]

You forgot to mention the oldest and the most primitive way of increasing water oxygenation in the history of goldfish keeping. Water change.

[@jrlee1031]

Help lower down your oxygen levels? Should be help increase.

[@lukesgoldies]

Haha yeah I meant increase, misspoke

[@solo-uq7up]

Why does my weather roach sit on my filter pip? Lol

[@umasom5045]

Thanks for your helpful video lovely beautiful goldfish

[@brabbit3134]

Don’t plants consume nitrates

[@CocoKoi321]

Even just one bubbler in a big tank is ight But when you put a bunch into the tank you really notice way more activity But maybe I should make sure theres a heater so oxygen doesnt get too much Cause so wait youre saying oxygen too much can make them not okay? Or was it a oop😅

[@lukesgoldies]

I misspoke a couple times haha, I say increase when I mean decrease and vice versa haha

[@CocoKoi321]

@@lukesgoldies haha maybe add a caption into that part XD in yt studio >.< idk haha But I understand now then XD but yeee you do notice more giddy fish with more oxygenation

[@JTW3159]

To many live plants in a tank can remove the oxygen from the water and kill you fish.

I think he meant highering oxygen levels lol
