I was new to fancies last year and I accidentally did all these things. I had three fancies in a 75 gallon that started out as itty bitty fish. The room they were in was constantly warm from running computers and the tank was always about 76-78 degrees. I changed the water constantly. And I fed them 3-4 times a day with a high protein pellet that had for other fish. I now know a LOT more about how to keep fancies, they get plenty of veggies and proper food, and fewer feedings. But I now have three absolute chonkers the size of coconuts in a 125 gallon in my living room, and I love them.
i got a decently small fantail just two weeks ago, and with the combined higher temperature, feed, and more space, hes already put on another inch! thanks for the advice :))
My gf and I tried these tips for our Sarasa comet, our ranchu, and even our resident cold water rainbowfish and they have all grown to a tremendous size. Thanks Luke!
This video is very accurate! I have a baby orange red cap Oranda,he was around 5cm I have a heater,feed him peas every 2 days, feed him good quality pellets 3 times a day in small amounts,change my water every two ish days and he’s already grown to maybe 6-7 cm! I bought him litterly 10 days ago!
The thing that he said in the video is called growout challenge or grooming/goldfish show. the reason why they boost feed their goldfish is because the only have 3 months before the judging. Some can grow 3cm fish to 10cm or jumbo size in 2 months. This is advance fish keeping To do this: when ur fish is 3cm or less than 7cm u don't have to worry much about overfeeding, I feed mine 10 times a day. first in the morning wheat germ, second feeding steam egg, and 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 feedings, I drop pellets that has 60% or 57% protein and in the evening I feed them brine shrimps . and in 20 days you will see result. steam egg and live food will really make ur fish grow fast and make their body more round. also u must change the water at maximum of 30 percent or 25% of water after feeding your steam eggs. leftover steam eggs will really make ur tank polluted or raise ammonia levels if u leave it for 7 hrs or more. so better siphon them. steam egg recipe is composed of different pellets like purple,red and green saki hikari pellets and probiotics just like dymax vita vibrant used for arowanas just mix them all together, also add spirulina powder & astaxanthin for fast molting or color change of the fish. Put ur heater around 29C or 30, i put mine in 33C in cold weather. In Thailand they put up to 40C. :> .also the fish will stop eating when they are full just observe them. lastly the ideal tank for growing fish fast is to put only 2 fish in a 36x18x18 (LxWxH). if you have a bigger one like 60x18x18 you can put around 4 to 5 fishes. To conclude 1 fish = 12x18x18 in inches. If your fish is big enough like 7cm and above only feed 4 times a day or 3 and feed protein pellets just to maintain their color dont feed them much just like the young ones as they are now prone to overfeeding. Must have: Heater atleast 300 watts for fast pooping :3 good aeration or airpump and filtration. foods, supplements and etc: live food like bloodworms and brine shrimps color enhancing like vita vibrant from dymax just observe your fish and u will see results :3
In the Philippines, goldfish groomers feed as much as 16 times a day. Keeping water temp as high as 30c. But water change once or twice a day, 50%. Fish grows so fast in 90 days!
Yeah, but at what cost ? They might get big but will not have very long lives. I have three very healthy adult goldfish which are over 12 yrs old, but there’s no way I’d keep them in such a high temp…that’s just too stressful…they are NOT tropical fish, and should not be kept in such warm water.
@@foxx2990 bruh try going to Thailand, in the goldfish farm. Most farms in Thailand is outdoor with just transparent roof, during day time temperatures get 30C° almost feels like luke warm of what I remembered
I have read mix things about the hormones. In aquaponic systems they do not change the water and their goldfish can grow huge. So some say that plants can remove the hormones.
I wanna grow big gold fish, so I liked and subscribed lol. Your eyes are GORGEOUS! I recently bought 2 fancy goldfish and have a master test kit and prepared to do daily water changes. Love your videos!
First of all, you are gorgeous. Second, you’ll make a great dad-feed em, keep em warm, keep em in a clean environment. Good work. Last, have you ever read the book about this boy who kept feeding his goldfish until he grew so big that the swimming pool was too small and the fire department had to move him with a crane? Good story. Carry on, I love these videos.
I followed ur advise with common gold fish and i bought them when their were extremely small and have had them less then a year and their all 5 inches now.
I google that Growth harmon inhibitor not much information on that. I have heavily planted tank rarely have change water. Mine seem grow really fast key clean water and it’s easy with planted tanks and multiple small feedings a day. Other things help like higher heat speed metabolism up. Luke you should try floating plants goldfish eat heck out of them.
I actually have a complete goldfish tank with some baby Koi fish in it and pelcos but I just want to say that if you’re having any cloudy water problems, plants will work for that, but they will not work for keeping your tank clean in the long run. You still need to do water changes.
Such a good video. I would love to see some large fantail gold fish in various settings, I'm curious what they look like and how they are displayed and what set ups are working for the largest ones, as far as happy life in optimum display.
Another thing is to not have more than one goldfish realistically because the goldfish releases hormones into the water and since it's a small tank it's very potent so it will keep him small. That's why goldfish in lakes and stuff get so huge. Much mess potent in larger water.
Had a 5-year-old 9-in comet that was my absolute favorite fish, used to feed him cockroaches just because he seemed to like them so much. He got massive and one day decided to jump out of his tank.. had him in a 40-gallon long but I guess he got to big for it
I have this electric vacuum with a filter on it that cleans the bottom of the tank but doesn’t remove the water. Do I still need to change the water? I usually only fill a little bit of bottled water in the tank when I notice the water level going down from evaporating.
How do you know if your goldfish has the potential to grow more? I have had some pearlscale for almost a year now and I was hoping to get them to apple size but they have not put on much size recently.
How do I constantly change the water when my city has softer water than is good for goldfish? I've added crushed coral to my 55 gallon tank with 7 4 inch goldies, but that just gets me close to the ideal.
How do i go about purchasing a big chonker? Getting my 40gallon breeder soon and would love to get a quality fish. I have a perfect 20 gallon right now thriving and looking to add one more nice tank
My black moor was like 1inch when I got the other 2 were a little bit bigger they eat very good quality fish food well he’s about 7in big the other ones are smaller then him.
To anyone seeing this u have to change water . Even if it looks clean do it or they won’t grow. I thought this before and my fish didn’t grow I’m only now realizing
Awesome video bro, I’ve had my goldfish for about a year now and they haven’t grown a whole lot since getting them, maybe an inch or two. I also had about 9 in a 250L tank (69galons) but now I only have 4 in my 69gal tank (moved others to different tanks). I’m now feeding 5 times a day with a high protein diet and doing 50%+ water changes every second day. Do you think my fish will grow or do you think they would be stunted? I’ve seen some noticeable growth but I’m now hoping my new routine will make them grow more (tank is also set to 73* temp). Would love some feedback!!!
Depends on the age of the fish if it is about 6 months old it will work but with one about year old it can also work but it wont grow as big or as much
I have a gold fish tank,3ft by 1/5ft,I have 12 gold fish,I have feed in green pee in a week,one time,can I feed there twice time pee in a day in a week?n I am change 80% water in twice a week,is it okz water change???,plz reply
I agree with you, but to be fair, I think he has a video on that and how to maintain the water as far as ammonia levels and such in a few separate videos. If not, there should be articles you can look for by experts as well online. Just make sure they are reputable sellers.
I had 3 goldfish for about 8 months now, they've only grown about an inch. I think it's because of the food I was feeding thm because they're in a community tank so i don't actually have a specific diet for them (water parameters and temperature are all fine).
Just today got my fancy one. 🥰Started out liking o tandas. But I’m I love with Ranchus now. I have a mix. Just wish me luck. I think is common sense . After knowingly with you. Thanks dropping bye. Wish me luck 🥰🥵✅
Is there ever a time where it's "too late" to help grow a bigger goldfish? I usually get my goldfish from petstores and I know they don't get the best upbringing and that can stunt the growth. Also, is there also any issue with putting baby goldfish into a deeper tank? I thought I saw somewhere on your tiktok that putting baby to young (?) goldfish into say, a full 55gal might be bad for them to fully grow because the added pressure is too much. If that's the case, when is the time to move your young goldfish into a bigger tank? Tysm for videos, it's an awesome live and recent resource!!
The goldies at most pet stores are pretty young still so they have plenty time to grow. I don’t think there is enough tank pressure to hurt goldfish but you usually want to get a longer shaped tank.
I think if your tank is cycled then adding bacteria is unnecessary. I just do 50% changes and add water conditioner and aquarium salt after each exchange. Careful with the salt though as it will accumulate if you put too much in each time.
I thought so It was important to change the water everyone told me you need to Big tank more but The person I knew was that the goldfish was getting bigger in a small tank, so I'm gonna try to goldfish bigger.
Hey luke, I'm from the Philippines you must try HULX GOLDFISH FOOD, And what you are doing is called goldfish grooming here some expert can make juvenile goldfish upto 3months they can be jumbo size already
I disagree about the hormone thing. I kept mine in pristine water in a 55 gallon, changing 50% or more twice per week and fed them fairly well with a varied diet. They were very healthy and happy and spawned constantly. They never grew. My brother in law however kept one in a 10 gallon along with a pleco (I know, I know) and fed the hell out of him using just plain fish food. He changed the filter and the water enough to keep it clear but nothing above and beyond and it grew so much it couldn't turn around in the tank. It was huge. The pleco he had to give away because it too couldn't move in the tank anymore, either. Speaking purely of growth, it just comes down to feeding, feeding and more feeding.
I wish my muscles grew as huge as those goldies
😂
Great video mate! Water changes, heat and feed are the magic three 🙏🏼

Must have: Heater atleast 300 watts for fast pooping :3
good aeration or airpump
and filtration.
foods, supplements and etc:
live food like bloodworms and brine shrimps
color enhancing like vita vibrant from dymax
just observe your fish and u will see results :3

10 times feeding a day . 20% water change morning . 20% w.c evening. Food Mix Steamed egg .
I google that Growth harmon inhibitor not much information on that. I have heavily planted tank rarely have change water. Mine seem grow really fast key clean water and it’s easy with planted tanks and multiple small feedings a day. Other things help like higher heat speed metabolism up.

Luke...I live in the philippines and it's hot here... I can't have to get the water to get below 84 degrees. What can I do?

It's quite easy I've bought my first fish for £2.50 last year and now she's alot bigger than what she was like last year
You haven’t seen absolute chunk until you see a full grown ping pong pearlscale.
OMG! I am so glad I found your youtube channel. Thank you.
Awesome video! I'm very interested in keeping Goldfishes. I'm learning alot. It's definitely alot easier here in a tropical country😅 From PH
So if we get regular water changes do need to add salt everysingle time to the tank?
How many months is the exponential growth time?
How many times you feed your gold fish?
Many people do more than 10 with auto feeders and regular feedings
I had no idea fish releases hormones that can stunt their growth! I'm trying to grow out my 3 Ranchus!
Just wondering … can you recommend a high protein food for Fancies?
can I use a filter for the water?
Another thing is to not have more than one goldfish realistically because the goldfish releases hormones into the water and since it's a small tank it's very potent so it will keep him small. That's why goldfish in lakes and stuff get so huge. Much mess potent in larger water.
Luke do you have store
How often water change though? Daily? Weekly? What volume?
does it ok to mix different size goldfish?
What high protein food do you recoomend

Should i add the bacteria so its clean because clean makes maximum growth?
you my friend are doing the lords work

Outside pond does wonders!!!!
its true 10x a day we do that here in Philippines a small frequent feeding and 2-3x 30% water change
