Short video of me introducing some cow ranchu into new pond. Watch them settle in through some underwater footage. #goldfish #fish #pond #aquariumfish #diy
Hi just found your channel, im thinking of setting a largeish pond ,having seen your fancy fish ! I might try them , instead of carp , are they easy or hard to keep , can they be kept outside all year round , any advice would be great ! Tia ,your pond & fish look great, cheers 🍻
I have koi and carp in one pond. Fancy goldfish in the other. I really like the fancy goldfish. Lots of different varieties, and they can be quite different. Very friendly as well. They are not as tough as koi and carp. They need to be heated really throughout winter. Depends where you live but mine don't really like it below 12 degrees. So I tend to heat pond in winter and don't let it drop below that temp. They are much more vulnerable to predators. Mine spend a lot of time on surface. I have 2 cats and they just like watching them but would be easy prey for predatory cat. I have mixed fancy goldfish with goldfish and koi and they have been OK. But it isn't recommended. They are slower and struggle to get food before other fish get them. Why I decided to just keep one pond for fancy goldfish. Heating water in winter can be expensive.
Hi there! I'm hoping to get an above ground pond soon , just seen your video brilliant, love your fancy fish ,, will they survive in an outside pond all year round ? Any advice would be welcome cheers.👍
Where abouts do you live? There are hardier fancy goldfish that can survive outside without heating. I have had them outside without heating in the past. Last 4 years I do heat the pond and try and keep it above 12 degrees. They are more fragile than normal goldfish and koi. I would recommend heating.
I have a 1200w heater in there set at 16 degrees. It's a bit pricey with cost of electricity these days. I have kept them without heater and they were fine. If you get them young and stock early summer normally OK. They climatize gradually. Happier with temps above 10 though really.
Awesome pond but just beautiful ranchu
I love my goldies and my ponds
You made some excellent picks
I subscribed!
Thanks mate. I honestly seem to prefer the fancy goldfish over koi. I like both but I find the fancies more interesting.

Where did you get these ranchus. I am struggling to find any in Leicester
En29bp wildwood aquatics currently have some. Owner said they don't come across them often.
