I've had fish for more than 20 years and I don't think I would EVER have the balls do this, if I killed or injured it, I'd never forgive myself. Good to see these fish are in good hands.
Not exactly the way human do. Most fishes could feel something is wrong with their body but they can't exactly feel pain or any kind of complicated emotions, feelings. It's more like an unconditioned response

Ok I love how he’ll stop in the middle of a sentence to comfort the fish! He was mid sentence and said stuff like “it’s ok buddy” and “I’m sorry bud” it’s so wholesome! I am a pet parent and I love stuff like this!
This is to people in general. Sorry but being a “pet parent” is not right for the animal. A relationship with an animal is a completely different experience than a child and you should value it as a companion and not a child. it doesn’t live like people and you should value the experience different because they understand things different and see us as one of them. When you try to treat an animal as if it’s a human it can make things worse for them, especially predator animals like dogs or cats. It seems like they become confused about how to act and communicate to humans or even other animals of its kind. I’ve seen many dogs be put on death row for dangerous issues that were easily fixed with tactics more like Cesar Milan or upstate canine academy and the dogs are more comfortable with other animals and humans because they have a reason. If you have a “pet parent” mentality to things you can easily over spoil or over do the “they need the best life” thing and hurt yourself and the pet by doing that and you might have more issues with reading situations that could be bad. Most animals were domesticated to have a reason, not to just be pets and if you get rid of that there is clear proof that it hurts the animal. Animals are very smart they know they are missing something. Btw, if anyone says you are a mean owner to a dog or cat for being more stern or “aggressive” with training tell them that there are dogs and cats being killed because they can’t feel safe and obviously feel they don’t have a reason to live. Value your pets as pets because they try to communicate to you like they would with odd ones of their kind and the fascinating things they do seem to make more sense :)
I was holding my breath for the 1st half of this procedure and I'm a professional nurse in a dog & cat ICU! It was so reassuring that once you started to get his eye clear and he could SEE, that he started to clam down. It was so clear that once he literally saw what you were doing, he had no problem other than the minor discomfort. You are such an awesome fish dad! P.S. I'm single! Jk lmao 🤣🤣🤣
It's a genetic mutation in some fish. This guy bought the fish specifically for that mutation. He thinks it's cute. Kind of like buying a bulldog or pug. They are specifically bred because of the way they look. However, because of their deviated septums, they have a hard time breathing.

@@robosing225 You ever pinch a piece of flesh on the inside of your cheek (not from biting like a canker sore, more like a loose bit of cheek cells)? I'm guessing it's like that- it's a super small pinch of pain but nothing super damaging and long-term scarring
There are scissors that are similar to cuticle scissors but have a round shape at the tip that are protruding a circle shape. They are blunt tipped and the same size at cuticle scissors and are used to trim ear and nose hairs safely. Maybe you could use those types of scissors to reduce the risk of puncturing the eye and make it safer to probe the scissors around
That does sound safer but part of what he has to do to trim the wen is puncture underneath just a little in order to actually get a hold of a piece before he can cut it off. He has to sort of create a flap to cut. So the rounded tips may not be ideal
Just going to add in that a lot of the movement and flinching is due to the fish seeing or feeling something near their eyes. It elicits a reactive response. The pain is minimal, as mentioned, and as clove oil has a nerve deadening effect, it's not too much pain. It's more reactive to feeling something touching them. Fish are not big fans of being touched, more so when they're in an unfamiliar setting (like being out of water).
In a world that has so much negativity. A man and his fish . shows that we still have heart. Love and care should be given to all creatures big and small. Fur or gills.
Except these fish are unnatural. Created and kept solely for the entertainment of humans. They don’t have dorsal fins so they are slow and unbalanced. Their spines are crooked and heads massive. These fish are manmade creatures that shouldn’t exist by laws of nature. Their mere existence is cruelty.
I feel a bit like the breeding has gone too far when you have to cut off the flesh of a fish head so it can still see and swim. But then again, it's like pugs. They kind of black out in too much heat or exhaustion, but people are still gonna breed them. So yeah, even though I don't think these breeds should be being bred they are going to keep on existing, and you clearly know what you are doing and made life a little easier for this fish.
Or the spider morph in ball pythons, that is known to have neurological defects becauae of the spider gene morph, that dramatically can lower the quality of life, but 'hey let's breed them, BeCaUsE tHeY lOoK pReTtY!"...
@@KhaziirEverflight just letting you know you should double check your info. I just googled that and from what I’m seeing, most spider ball pythons have little to no quality of life reduction from their wobble. That’s just from some of the studies I just glanced over, one from Duke University
i've never owned a goldfish. I didn't know such procedures were required. Yet i watched the entire video and left a like simply because of ur dedication and mad control of those scissors
@@brittlekneesmgee3674 they aren't comfortable even with smaller growths. This is one of the most messed up things the humans did to pets just for the sake of aspect and entertainment. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with selective breeding in order to obtain a certain colour or make the body somewhat more round(not as much as these fish, especially considering that they also have very small fins) but this is too much. This was my opinion before and now, after seeing what these fish can go through because of our need for enjoyment, I'm totally disgusted. This should be banned worldwide,just let the fish already alive live peacefully until their lives end and ban any further breeding.
Mis respetos para este hombre 😍 sufrí tanto al ver como lo hacia pero fue de mucha satisfacción ver el resultado y escuchar con cuanto aprecio, dedicación y cariño los cuida wou!. Ya soy su Nueva suscritora. Saludos
I feel like I would see these fish in a fantasy anime. Personally I think they are adorable but I would rather then not exist than exist with deformities like this. However, I think this man does a great job caring for them and does what he can to keep them comfortable. It’s obvious he cares for his fish
I would 100% make something like this is a world-building of mine but it’s very disgusting and disturbing that it’s alive in the real world. Just like pugs. Good thing some people help these suffering creatures but I wish they would just go extinct.
@@claymac7895 Yes but air isn't toxic to them like CO2 is in our lungs (or as problematic as water pouring into your lungs), so it's not comparable to a human being held underwater. That's the point they were making, I think. Obviously fish still die outside water eventually. OP phrased it pretty poorly
@@NathanTheNinjaTaylor thank you for being civil and explaining nicely, I’m well aware how fish work, Matthew here is a bit to worked up over fish facts on the internet.
Not many nerves is still one too many. I love goldfish but I will never buy this kind of fish, do not support genetically defective fishes, or animals for that matter.
@Crimson Outdoors Co. do you have any proof that fish can't feel pain? also being kind to animals isn't humanizing them it's having humanity. i get it about like not being overly sensitive but saying "oh fish dont feel pain, you're humanizing them" sounds a lot like the argument about how animals dont feel pain so its okay to be cruel to them which most people these days know is delusional
@@IngensViator uh… that’s like saying that any species of canine that isn’t a wolf you will never buy bc it’s “genetically defective” these are all goldfish, just different breeds of them that have certain traits that are favored over other traits
just a suggestion.... I use dog grooming scissors, as they are dull at the end so you dont have to worry about possibly puncturing his eye! Great video :)
@@nmlopqrs5767 I mean it’s still gonna be a lot safer than sharp tip scissors. The main danger to the eye is the sharp tip constantly being near it. And your comparison is stupid because yeah a butter knife can cut you but the force needed to make a cut is many times more than just poking you with a sharp regular knife.
@@nmlopqrs5767 The scissors themselves aren't dull, just the tips are rounded so it's less dangerous to groom around the face. The base of the blades are sharp but the tips aren't to prevent injury, like poking an eye or punctures to the skin if they wiggle around while you trim.
"A much easier time swimming" I love how he says that and the little guy is wiggling as hard as he can. He will 100% benefit from this. I've never had the growth grow over the eye before, but I am definitely grateful to learn this. Thank you!
I don't have a fish and I'll probably never get one but this was awesome and I loved it. You really care for your fish and don't have them just to fill a void of misery like a lot of people with pets do, who also are abusive in one way or another. Another thought I had was: Was maybe your wife the one filming? I was thinking like from her perspective watching you do this, so gently and with so much care and the way you speak to your goldfish, this is one of the exact reasons why she loves you. It's heartwarming
The wen looks like it might feel like tapioca pearls? He’s so cute! I’ve never seen anyone handle a fish with such grace! Awesome job…he looks better and has to feel better too I would think! As with most pets there will probably be at least some degree of unpleasant care requirements that we better be considering before making the commitment…anything else is probably irresponsible. I enjoyed this video even though I was tense for the fish the entire time but it was reassuring to see that you know your stuff and know how to keep him as comfortable as possible!
@@kloud11 do you think only one people will think that?? Plus the comment is not even exactly the same. It simply means she's having the same opinion as the other
So no one gonna talk about how he kept on saying *sorry* when he was trimming the head part :) he knew it was hurtful ❤🥺the friendship of these two is wonderful! Stop hating on this man.. He knows what he's doing!
@@SocksWithSandalsEnjoyer Pug’s are normally fine as long as they’re getting exercise and a good diet. Unfortunately a lot of pugs end up with owners who can’t be bothered to put the time in to keep them healthy and they get fat easily which makes their breathing really bad. Also Great Danes have issues with their legs, if the owner isn’t willing to put the time in to exercise them properly they’ll end up in a lot of pain. Otherwise, both breeds are fine. It depends on the owner.
@Haley Bacon i find this fish to be the opposite of cute. It disgusts me, it scares me, and i have troubles understanding how someone could find it cute.
@@marmite-land I don't think goldfishes are bred to look like this. Its probably a mutation or something since goldfishes would normally grow back to normal size once in the wild
Genetics determine this. Getting an older goldfish with less of a wen can help assure you likely won’t have this issue. It’s also helpful to look at the shape of the wen, as some have a more reduced wen framing around the eyes, which can help indicate to you in the future how it will continue to grow.
@@Micahmancer Both have wens, but the lionhead’s wen is much larger, and they have chubbier looking cheeks. They also tend to stay smaller, compared to a ranchu’s growing ability. Both have a risk for needing their wen’s trimmed, but it can potentially be avoided, however, the risk is definitely higher with lionheads.
These fish are incredibly cute! I do have to admit that the procedure does seem perhaps strangely unconventional to me, but the fact he's willing to go to those lengths just to help the fish live a more comfortable life means he really has a lot of love for them.
To me, it seems that people like to cause problems that they can then "fix" to feel useful, needed or just draw attention to themselves. A bit like a Munchausen by proxy. It's just sick. Don't breed/ buy these fish if you truly care about animal welfare. Causing pain and then "fixing" it by inflicting more pain is NOT commendable.
I remember the doctor trimmed off the strings from my mom leg surgery. I watched the process and you know the whole feelings mixed up like scared, sad, empathy, sorry, glad, and lots of stuff mixed in. Now, I am not related to this fish but I do feel the exact same feelings. I wish this goldfish fast recovery.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfromme well I am talking about the feeling. So if this fish online makes me feel some kind of feeling like the way I felt to certain things or person or situation. Then it is what it is..
@@terryeagle6321 okay that's just rude these fish didn't do anything to you and you are causing negative just shut up you have no right to be rude to things like that. Grow up.
@@koreytheraccoon I agree with Terry. Yes the owner might very well love these fish, but breeders who created this species exploited their power. These fish are deformed, the fact that they have growths that encase their face and require trimming and anesthesia, the fact that they can barely hold themselves up in the water. It's not cute, breeders have literally bred deformed fish for the pleasure of humans. Disgusting
I found this at random, but it's certainly educational! I didn't even know you can do this to fish. You are Cleary a wonderful pet owner, you genuinely care about them.
I agree, that was anxiety inducing to watch, even though I totally trusted that Luke knew exactly what he was doing & cares so much for his fish. And I KNOW Don felt so much better when back in his tank & no longer had such a heavy head that it constantly pulled him downward. Thank you for the very informative video Luke. I guarantee 99% or more of us had no idea that this was even a procedure that these fish sometimes needed.
@@oliviadunkley1146 Bruh it was necessary, you dont call getting stitches “torture.” This guys doing the best he can even if it momentarily hurts the little guy, theres not exactly a hospital for fish that can put them under anesthesia and prescribe pain pills after. Imagine you had so much extra flesh on your head you couldn’t hold it up? And you couldn’t see? I dont know about you but I’d sacrifice a few minutes of pain for my quality of life
@@ieatworms7919 Actually there are fish vets out there who specialise in dealing with fish. There is a hospital you can take your fish to, it's called a veterinary clinic. You know that place you take your pet dog or cat when they are sick, dying, and/or need life-saving surgery? It's called a vet. And yes, there are specific types of anaesthetic, medication, procedure and treatment for fish, just like there are specific medications and treatents for all animals. I am in utter awe of your complete ignorance. This prcoedure can be performed SAFELY and PAINLESSLY by a medical PROFESSIONAL. Jesus Christ, if youd on't believe me, just google it. It's common knowledge...
I had a goldfish like that it was a female these kind of golfish are more friendlier than the other ones. they like people more every time I come home she immediately run in front up the glass and put her head out the water and wait for me to pet her and when we needed to clean her tank she would come up the surface you would just take her out and she wouldn't struggled she would just stay there and wait for me to put her in the other water so that we can clean the tank for her. I would recommend these kind of goldfish for first-timer pet because they're really friendly and you have to spend time with them to build that trust.
Don't recommend this breed of fish to anyone. It's animal cruelty to breed these fish, get a regular goldfish if you want a gold fish. You have to cut the face of the fish, how is this a good breed of fish for a newbie??
Much as I agree with some of the comments, this isn't a newbie level fish. Expert level fish owners would possibly own a fish like this. They require a lot more than standard goldfish.
Him:"you wanna make sure you have...." Me: viciously writes everything down, as if I'm ever gonna be in a situation where I am operating on a goldfish.
I really do understand, that these type of goldfish look very cool witch their big heads, I like their looks too. But what I don't get is why we keep breeding races like this when their features are actually not good for them. Like with pugs and french bulldogs who can hardly breath well.
People want something they will get it. Trapping an animal and calling it your own is cruel. Yeah but my animal loves me, im sure it doesn't feel like its being tortured sitting in a fish bowl its whole life or a dog sitting in an empty house 10 hours a day with no dogs to communicate with sounds delightful.
This makes me so worried for him but at the same time I know you’re experienced and know what you’re doing, and I know it’s much better for him in the long run!!
People in the comments are like "why would you breed a fish so deformed that they need this?" Ranchus are pretty wonky looking, but it definitely isnt that common for them to need this, which the guy says in the video.
Yeah this is really uncommon with this usually this doesn't happen with this kind of fish but it can happen to any of them if it overgrows. It really doesn't have to do with breeding as much as it does to do with the individual fish. Deformities can happen but this isn't related to genetics. People own pugs and Frenchies all the time and many different pushed in face dogs which are incredibly deformed inbred and prone to many genetic abnormalities and issues medically those are far worse than a fish that has some little meat that's hanging off its excess head tissue that it can't really feel getting cut off.
If you see the way commercial goldfish are treated eg for carnivals and such you could never call this guy cruel in comparison. Even worse is the way fish are caught at sea in nets and left to suffocate for hours, and most of those fish are just thrown back overboard.
Thank you for taking so much care to make sure he experiences the least amount of pain possible. I'm watching him struggle and I'm tearing up a little because I know you said this wasn't entirely pain free for him. Poor little guy but I understand the necessity. Thank you for caring for them in such a respectful and humane way

@@A_Random_Prussian people should stop breeding and buying them, then they wouldn't exist anymore... for all we know that could feel way worse than he's saying. Has anyone got any actual scientific proof other than his word??
First I had no idea what was happening and I was freaking out, but as I got deeper into the video it was more reassuring. He did an amazing job with this, and I realise this is a very difficult job to do. When he told him to calm down, and that it was okay it warmed my heart. Keep doing you
I have never been so stressed, on edge, and joyful all at the same time. I was terrified for your fishie but he did look so much better after the procedure. You clearly love your fish and care very much for their quality of life ❤️
@@elithluxe7568 as he said, they usually dont get this bad and i trust his expertise, this isnt something you do unless you really have to. Also, theres the risk of hurting the fish if the wen is too small to cut if that makes sense? Back to the dr pimple popper, it’s kinda like if it’s a very small, no touble causing skin thing that is too close to some delicate areas like neck or something, they’ll intervene only when they really have to, same w ovarian cysts and stuff.
@@Ninatic oh yes that makes sense but maybe it would have been easier to cut if it was smaller than this. Not saying extremely small though because that might be more risky. This must be good for its health. Idek this type of fish and that they have those things called wen. I have a very overactive imagination so I literally felt like my face was being cut off and flinched every single time.
I'm a biology student, and I haven't had the chance to work with fish. It would be really interesting to look at the scraps of flesh under the microscope.
This video freaked me out but I knew it was for a good reason. It’s like watching a surgery being done. They should make a store in each state to trim wens of fish by professionals so people like me don’t have to do it
@@KP3droflxp then they would be left to die alone with no owner? I enjoy having pet fish and im willing to do everything for them. I often adopt fish left by previous owners or that was sick and get them healthy again.
@@minibatman2.016 purchasing these fish is the exact reason why they're still being bred, you need to help end the cycle of breeding these awfully deformed fish. Like idk just look at its spine??? It cant even swim properly because of how messed up they've become.
@@michamicha1433 “Left by previous owners” means that the fish were already purchased from breeders. It’s hard to imagine that this has any effect on the demand for Ranchus, because the only people who will adopt them are humanitarians who aren’t interested in breeding.

Except these fish are unnatural. Created and kept solely for the entertainment of humans. They don’t have dorsal fins so they are slow and unbalanced. Their spines are crooked and heads massive. These fish are manmade creatures that shouldn’t exist by laws of nature. Their mere existence is cruelty.

I feel a bit like the breeding has gone too far when you have to cut off the flesh of a fish head so it can still see and swim. But then again, it's like pugs. They kind of black out in too much heat or exhaustion, but people are still gonna breed them. So yeah, even though I don't think these breeds should be being bred they are going to keep on existing, and you clearly know what you are doing and made life a little easier for this fish.
I agree with you
MrsUial i agree
Not many of this breed get to this stage if you were reading: their wen rarely poses a threat to them.
Or the spider morph in ball pythons, that is known to have neurological defects becauae of the spider gene morph, that dramatically can lower the quality of life, but 'hey let's breed them, BeCaUsE tHeY lOoK pReTtY!"...

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with selective breeding in order to obtain a certain colour or make the body somewhat more round(not as much as these fish, especially considering that they also have very small fins) but this is too much. This was my opinion before and now, after seeing what these fish can go through because of our need for enjoyment, I'm totally disgusted. This should be banned worldwide,just let the fish already alive live peacefully until their lives end and ban any further breeding.

Fish breathe oxygen, the gills filter through the water and they take in oxygen to breathe. Air does not suffocate them

I promise you should should get orandas I love them
Genetics determine this. Getting an older goldfish with less of a wen can help assure you likely won’t have this issue. It’s also helpful to look at the shape of the wen, as some have a more reduced wen framing around the eyes, which can help indicate to you in the future how it will continue to grow.
regular ranchus actually dont have wens! 😊 these are lionhead ranchus
@@Micahmancer Both have wens, but the lionhead’s wen is much larger, and they have chubbier looking cheeks. They also tend to stay smaller, compared to a ranchu’s growing ability. Both have a risk for needing their wen’s trimmed, but it can potentially be avoided, however, the risk is definitely higher with lionheads.

People in the comments are like "why would you breed a fish so deformed that they need this?" Ranchus are pretty wonky looking, but it definitely isnt that common for them to need this, which the guy says in the video.
Yeah this is really uncommon with this usually this doesn't happen with this kind of fish but it can happen to any of them if it overgrows. It really doesn't have to do with breeding as much as it does to do with the individual fish. Deformities can happen but this isn't related to genetics. People own pugs and Frenchies all the time and many different pushed in face dogs which are incredibly deformed inbred and prone to many genetic abnormalities and issues medically those are far worse than a fish that has some little meat that's hanging off its excess head tissue that it can't really feel getting cut off.
If you see the way commercial goldfish are treated eg for carnivals and such you could never call this guy cruel in comparison. Even worse is the way fish are caught at sea in nets and left to suffocate for hours, and most of those fish are just thrown back overboard.

@@michamicha1433 “Left by previous owners” means that the fish were already purchased from breeders. It’s hard to imagine that this has any effect on the demand for Ranchus, because the only people who will adopt them are humanitarians who aren’t interested in breeding.
It's like pugs, the best thing is give them a nice life, but don't breed them, you'll be making a favour for their entire existance
This is calming, look how carefully he does surgery on that little goldfish.
Thank you for doing this and caring for your fish so so much. I hate it when I see fish owners who let their fish get in horrible conditions. You are nothing like them, you are good. You keep your fish healthy, you help them when they need you. Once again, thank you
