So happy I found your channel! I have kept koi for over 24 years now, and I'm just starting to learn about goldfish. Thank you for your knowledge and I appreciate the way you present it.
Dear Nick, appreciate your feedback. Several friends here left similar comments. Besides quantity (number of likes or subs), quality is another important indicator. However RUclips is a ranking system based on quantity. It is OK. To me, your comment worths hundreds of Likes or Subs. All my research and video editing paid back when I see a comment like yours!
Hi Alex, thank you for your consideration! I wish I could have more time in making RUclips videos. I got a long to-do list about future goldfish lectures.
By the way, my pond is yellow green, but I want a light green aquarium inside to keep my goldfish in summer, so they won't get so hot. I do have two very green sides big tubs of old rainwater, I am trying to decide what is best to raise in them!
From fish perspective, light green and yellow green are good water. For the summer time, I do recommend to keep your water as light green. Dark green contains so much over-grown algae, which will consume oxygen and produce Co2 at night, reducing O2 and pH, especially early morning around 3:00-4:00 AM.
Always such rich of very good informations ( U always greatly exactly teach, speak about and show us always what is the more important and interesting... In résumé all what is the most important and all what all others Goldfish RUclips Channels/youtubers never justly speak about...) So, for many many reasons, for all such qualities that the Others have not = Bravoooo, thank you/XIEXIE and congratulations 😂😉🙏🙏🎊🎉😅😅😅😅 U are the Best!! (for many reasons)
This is very interesting. It’s wonderful that there is a wealth of knowledge from so many centuries of effort. And it goes to show that we don’t necessarily need fancy gadgets in this hobby to raise healthy, beautiful fish.
Correct! One of my goals is to bring the traditional Chinese breeding to my channel. For instance, add burned clay tub, and wooden tub. International shipping is a show stopper for now. Hopefully, I can figure out something to bring these kind of tubs here in 🇺🇸
Thank you SO much for this video! I always knew it was good to keep a tank with tinted water but I didn't know how to explain it to people. This video is Really detailed and helps me understand what is in the water and why it's "read" that way. I used to keep tanks that were tinted and low to zero tech but then a (former) close friend of mines kept making fun of my green water tank a (that had been left outdoors in the sun) and then kept talking about how gross it was and wouldn't listen to me when I said that it was natural and healthy. They did this Every Single Time they saw my aquarium and didn't stop until I did multiple 90% water changes which killed off all the shrimp that were in the tank, depleted the oxygen, but made the water clear. That person is no longer my friend. I look forward to going through all of your amazingly informative videos and sharing them with my daughter who LOVES fancy goldfish.
Fishie Hidey Hole Glad to hear my video is helpful. Feel free to share it with others. Two points I like to highlight here. (1) goldfish keepers need to think from the perspective of fish not themselves. What are good for your fish but not for you. If you fish can speak, what will they ask? Will they ask for clear water or green water? (2) critical thinking and open mind. You should not do it because of all the other people. Keep your own options. Right after modern filters became popular, people commonly chase the crystal clear water for indoor tanks. Unfortunately, they don’t know the risk, and they don’t know all the fish farms have used green water for years. Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you Lei! I always get light green but once had dark green. Now all my tanks are pretty clear with lots of hair algae on the side. This is because I do a .25 water change every three days. Great information you presented!
Mary, same principle. Please check out this video which gives you detailed on how-to control different types of algae. How to grow GREEN ALGAE in aquarium 👉ruclips.net/video/H7jyCvj5JhE/видео.html
8:30 lol i just have a jar with few fish ecosystem no water changes and intensive green color turn back to almost cristal clear in just few days i was like ecosystem is finally cycled and stable and i stated feeding 3x more but everything was okay probably because i have fast growing plants to complete with algae for nutritients
Hello Lei,Thank you for this beautiful video.I am getting ready to start a small goldfish farm in wich i have some land and i have 24/7 running water from a spring nearby.In order for the little goldfish fry to grow up fast i thought to dig some big ponds and put tarplain on top so it can hold the water,then i thought to take cow dump and throw it into the water and in 2 weeks i think it will turn the water green,after that i thought to put in the water new hatched brine shrimps and leave them grow and breed between each other.so after 1 month i think to breed my goldfish and after the little fry of goldfish are like 1-2 weeks old i planed to put them into this prepared green water in wich it will help them grow faster and they will have lots of brine shrimps to feed from them.I never did this before,do you think this would work into helping me grow lots of goldfishes faster?would this method or for my plan or it wont?what do you think?Thank you very much for your time.
Congrats to you for becoming an owner of goldfish farm. Yes, live food like brine shrimp, daphnia, and blood worm will make goldfish grow fast. You may check Zhao’s Fancies RUclips, he shared tips on how to cultivate daphnia
love ur content for goldfish. would be nice if you can sharing for the best feeding or groom for goldish. very appreciated when I saw goldfish from China, how they build bulky body especially the Ryukin goldfish. China has the best ryukin so far for me. can you share how to groom the goldfish in China? because I didn't see any video on how to grooming. thanks, greetings from Indonesia. cheers
Hi Andy, welcome to my club! grooming is an advanced topics. Grooming is not just to raise goldish live and disease free but also to beautify them. I am still collecting the info and tips. It is on my to-do list
Hi Lei, i love you vids, very informative! i have a question though: how do i tell the difference between, Good water: green carpet water vs Bad Water: re-clear water? since both went through green water.
Hi Yang Yang, welcome to the club! New water -> green water tends to be good water. Dark green -> clear water tends to be bad. As far as green carpet, it is generally good water but watch the color of your carpet if it gets dark or brownish, please scrub them off the carpet and change 70% water. During the summer time, due to high temperature, please keep the light green water, don’t go with dark green
10-20% daily WC should be fine. Please please make sure you always use AGED Tap Water (leave your tap water at least 48 hours before you pour it to the tank)
when water has foam, it means your water is old and too much food or fish waste. Try to change 80% or 90% water, the foam should go away. For instance, does your tap water shows any foam? Probably not, because it is clean water
Hi, William. The volume of water also depends on your filter. Basically, the more water, the better. My rule is for rectangular tank, without knowing your filter type, the rule of thumb is to keep 20gal water per adult Ranchu. Your tank should be no less than 80 gal for your 4 big Ranchus
Hi, sir. The color of my water pond as of the moment is soy sauce color. Will it turn into green water if it’s in direct sunlight? It’s outdoor, and these past few days, it keeps on raining, so there was no direct sunlight, and now the daylight is back again.
If your pond water is soy sauce color in early July, it is not a good sign. likely Low O2 and high hardness. Do you use Underground water as pond water? I would recommend a full water change immediately
Hi sir, is it possible to grow a healthy gold fish inside an aquarium without any electrical devices to create oxygen, instead just using natural processes,such as algae?
Yes, but you need a outdoor pound or tank. Indoor aquarium is not good for the long term, make your fish faded color and higher probability to get infection and disease.

Very informative. Is it safe to do daily water change?
10-20% daily WC should be fine. Please please make sure you always use AGED Tap Water (leave your tap water at least 48 hours before you pour it to the tank)
@@GoldfishCorner thank you!
sir, can i ask you a question?
why my water foam is not dissapering quickly? even though the water has been changed to 50% and i give the water salt
sorry for my English
when water has foam, it means your water is old and too much food or fish waste. Try to change 80% or 90% water, the foam should go away. For instance, does your tap water shows any foam? Probably not, because it is clean water
@@GoldfishCorner thank you so much sir, for your reply and advice, now my aquarium is better than before, no more annoying foam
glad to hear! Enjoy goldfish keeping
Hello how are you? I have four, 4inches big, Ranchus. May I know how many gallons of water should be good for them . Thanks in advance.
Hi, William. The volume of water also depends on your filter. Basically, the more water, the better. My rule is for rectangular tank, without knowing your filter type, the rule of thumb is to keep 20gal water per adult Ranchu. Your tank should be no less than 80 gal for your 4 big Ranchus
@@GoldfishCorner Thanks so much for your prompt respond. Good advice. Thanks again.
Hi, sir. The color of my water pond as of the moment is soy sauce color. Will it turn into green water if it’s in direct sunlight? It’s outdoor, and these past few days, it keeps on raining, so there was no direct sunlight, and now the daylight is back again.
If your pond water is soy sauce color in early July, it is not a good sign. likely Low O2 and high hardness. Do you use Underground water as pond water? I would recommend a full water change immediately
Indian almonds are good for goldfish tank?
I don’t know
Hi sir, is it possible to grow a healthy gold fish inside an aquarium without any electrical devices to create oxygen, instead just using natural processes,such as algae?
Yes, but you need a outdoor pound or tank. Indoor aquarium is not good for the long term, make your fish faded color and higher probability to get infection and disease.
What should goldfish water smell like?
should not be stinky
