Hey guys if you’re wondering where my video before this went (the TikTok video) RUclips has unfortunately removed the video and gave my channel a warning for “violence and graphic content” which there was none of. So far I can’t seem to get the video back so not sure if it will come back :/ super confused about it.
Thank you so much for this video! I love how you are so honest about what's wrong with how people treat animals and I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
It's like when your video about that youtuber who harmed their axolotl got taken down. Theirs didn't get taken down, but yours did? And this is problaly the same thing:I The bad side of having bots check if a video should be allowed to exist on youtube or not.
it's a shitty stereotype that goldfish are expendable short lived pets. i've known some owners who managed to get their goldfish to live to be 12 years or more, they just die young from neglect
One of my 2nd cousins had a huge tank with only 4 fancy tail goldfish, 2nof them lived past their lifespan of 8 years, one of them sadly died of dropsy and the other one just lived past its 7th birthday.
Hi, i have been trying to answer this question for around 2 months now. Unfortunately none of my friends know much about animals so i have migrated here in hopes of finding an answer. :) This is purely theoretical but say i ‘did’ have a chihuahua that i disliked very much, from what hight would i have to drop it in order to make it explode on impact with the ground? .-. i have done a few tests already with chihuahua sized objects however the results remain inconsistent and it is unclear weather to go within a range of 2-3 or 5-7 story buildings. I would also prefer a larger splash range in the instance of children passing the foot of the building. If lucky i may be able to not only eliminate my ‘theoretical’ dog but also manage to traumatise multiple small children with the scattered remains of it’s ‘theoretical’ body. As mentioned previously, any help on this project would be greatly appreciated, much thanks Your Average Reddit User
This reminds me of the goldfish I used to own as a kid. It’s like I did everything wrong, I got two baby comets from a fair game of all places. When I got home of course I didn’t have anything ready so I put them in a glass vase. I finally got them in a ten gallon tank but obviously they outgrew it. I then convinced my parents to get a 30 gallon tank which would have been great but it barely had anything in it, and they outgrew their hide. Their filter was usually filthy all the time, I would do a full water change and empty the whole thing. At least I used water conditioner and salt on the tap water I used to fill it but I would put the poor things right back in after a few hours instead of letting it cycle through. I’m amazed looking back that they didn’t get sick, or maybe I just didn’t notice. They were hardy little things though, they kept growing and got to the length of my hand, still beautiful fish. I finally did some research and found out to my surprise that they were pond fish. I still loved them a lot so I actually researched building a pond in our back yard until I just had to give up, I finally accepted that I couldn’t care for them. Luckily the story has a happy ending because I posted them on Craigslist, being picky about the offers until a woman responded who had a big outdoor pond! She loved fish and it was her passion hobby to care for them, so I said my good byes and gave them to her! I feel so bad for the bad care I gave them, even though I was a kid my parents could have stepped in or I could have researched sooner. Goldfish are just assumed to be fine with anything which, being so hardy makes sense, but they deserve the best care too. I’m so happy I was able to find them a good home and I hope they lived their best life. I know giving up pets is hard, but the experience has made me thoroughly believe in rehoming pets when you get more than you bargained for. Sometimes you just can’t handle it and you and the animal will be happier finding them a better home
its okay, you tried. you did good ans you loved them, you made sure they went to someone who could actually care for them and love them too. you didnt know
This is so much like my story with my goldfish, Goldie. I got him from the fair when I was 11 and was absolutely clueless about how to take care of goldfish and I didn't do any research! I didn't use water conditioner, didn't have a filter (only a bubble stone) always did 100% water changes and he just lived in a bowl for a while. At some point when he was still pretty small, he got a parasite (I now know it was a fish louse) and thankfully, it went away on it's own, but I became close with him after that and got him a 10 gal. After a few years, I noticed him having what I now now is swim bladder problems and thankfully some nice people at a local Petco helped me get him water conditioner and a filter. He stopped having bladder problems, but still was stressed, so I moved him to a 30 gal. I started doing all the research I could and then got him a 55 gal, but he was still stressed, so I tried so many medicines and water treatments, but none seemed to work. Finally, I called a fish vet and she said that he's actually pretty strong and fairly healthy and the only problem is that he has slight abnormal tissue growth in the gills and fin ray fractures (fin fractures are normal for long tailed fish), which I was very glad to hear wasn't some huge or life threatening problem. She told me to use salt to help his gills and even though he still seems stressed sometimes, I can always count on him being happy around feeding time. This whole experience has made me a much better owner and have a closer bond to him over the years. I regret so many countless mistakes I made in the beginning, but all I can do is make it up now right? Now he's 7, almost 8 and in his 55 gallon tank, he still struggles with health issues from time to time, but is overall, amazingly strong. I love him dearly :)
I had a Betta that absolutely loved peas. I didn't make a habit of giving them too him, but I used to occasionally try to feed my shrimp with them and he would steal them. He was probably just a one off though. He was a greedy boy and would literally eat everything except for frozen food...He was an odd boy. I loved him.
There was a Reddit post a few years back (I think r/bridezillas) where a bride was convinced that having 2 goldfish in a bowl as center pieces would be a lovely idea to represent their marriage because they were animal lovers and all that. When asked what they were going to do with 100+ goldfish after the ceremony, she expected some of the guests to take home one or two of these goldfish as a party favor, which, obviously, didn’t happen. According to Op, only one of the fish survived.
@@peggedyourdad9560 But why would you use fake fish when you can express your love with (mostly) living goldfish? Don’t you think having stressed, dying or dead goldfish in glass bowls is so romantic?
people really have to care and love small animals as much as big pets. I don't care if people call me sensitive. Small animals feels emotions and pain too.
not buying them in the first place is probably the better option. you're basically paying someone to breed animals into existence just to keep them in a place they don't belong to. this is considering you absolutely know what you're doing and are gonna give the fish a good long life without causing it an early death and then moving on to the next fish.
Ugh, Goldfish bring back painful memories. I bought some and had them in a 10 gallon tank with plants and everything. Folks said that I 'wasted money' on them and a bowl would just be fine. I loved them lots! I went away for a couple of days, had a friend come and feed them. Right after I got home, we had a blizzard and I was unable to go anywhere, and they suddenly turned up with a terrible case of Ichthyophthirius. Everything was shut down. I did what I could, but I had no medication to treat them. Within 12 hours they were dead. I felt so guilty and cried. I will never again have any 'small pet' without having an emergency kit of medications and treatments already on hand.
I agree with Soda when it comes to breeds of goldfish that look like they have a poor quality of life due to being bred to look a certain way. I was hesitant about getting orandas because they just look uncomfortable to me, but I was convinced by pet shop staff that they were less messy than regular goldfish.
Had two girls on my wp team talking about maybe getting fish today, I gave a little advice about tank sizes and lifespans when they asked. One of my teammates was really nice, the other was completely skeptical the whole time and looked at me like I was crazy for suggesting that bettas should have 5 gallons, and that goldfish can live up to 20 years. It's not really her fault, but honestly I'm just baffled where the mindset that ''they're just fish, they die in a month, it doesn't matter" keeps coming from. I know they're not really an equal comparison, but if you talked about dogs like that, people would be outraged. Tw maybe?* "They're just mastiffs, they only live 6 years, who cares?"
Absolutely people care less about fish in general. Some people get them to look pretty because they aren't cuddly in the same way cats or dogs are. I don't trust anyone who views one animal above another in life and death
people see aquatic animals as decorations, unfortunately. it really sucks how little people care about animals just because they're smaller and you can't pet them also, as someone that has a turtle and a mastiff (who's about 6-7 years old) that comparison broke my heart because it's the exact same thing. i know that big dogs have shorter lifespans but i think most people would agree that you should still love and care for them since keeping them happy and healthy allows them to live long and happy lives, so i don't get why people don't have the same mentality when it comes to other, smaller animals. lots of people have pet turtles that don't live super long because of neglect and poor care, so it feeds the idea that they're a good present for your kid ("they'll only live a few years anyway") when the reality is that their shortened lifespan is typically the result of letting them get sick or keeping them in awful conditions (and the same goes for fish)
This video just reminds me of the 4 goldfish I rescued from a neighbour who kept then in a 30 L tank😭 1 passed away but the other 3 lived to move to an 150 L indoor pond and eventually to a specialty owners 300 L indoor pond when I had to move countries. Seeing those poor things in small tanks breaks my heart all over again.
the goldfish in the tub is mine !! his name is wallee and he's in his quarantine tub while im treating him to figure out the root of his swim bladder issues and then he goes back in his 50 gal :) i absolutely love your channel and made an audible gasp when i saw wallee only screen. thank you so much for educating people on these animals and keep on making your amazing content !!
Reddit is like the hub for scummy pet owners. I have 3 fantails in a 300 litre planted bathtub (plus side of my partner working for a trade supplier). Goldfish are probably up there as one of the most abused/neglected pets out there
@@NikkyTikkiTavi And budgies, hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils, the list goes on. I would also put in an argument that even cats and dogs are often not cared for properly or their care is lackluster, especially cats. Basically, any commonly kept pet or animal that is often advertised as "beginner friendly" or "low maintenance" is going to have many people who aren't going to care for them properly or really at all and buy them on impulse without researching appropriate care beforehand.
@@peggedyourdad9560 Absolutely. This is part of why I want to try setting up a pet care club at my school, to help teach kids that animals are a responsibility and if they want a pet they need to do research first.
@@NikkyTikkiTavi That sounds like an awesome idea, hope it works out for ya! If you haven’t already, I would include some discussion on the best ways to acquire an animal and how to pick a good one to bring home. Either way, good luck!
The birdie imitating you in a lot of intros always makes me smile. I've always wanted a gold fish, mainly a pearlscale goldfish, since they're adorable and huge chonkers I've been watching your videos for a long time now, and i thank you for your fish care tips! Once I get one, I'll definitely put some of the tips to good use. I'll give him/her a big tank and give it some cute chubby fishy friends lol ❤️
I recently had to euthanize my gourami because of dropsy, it sucks so much :( I tried adding a little salt to her tank for water retention, melafix for bacteria, paracleanse for parasites, nothing worked. I'd never lost a fish to dropsy before and I felt really guilty, it's good to know it just happens sometimes.
I had to euthanize 2 fish : one serpae tetra because I probably couldn't get the treatment without a vet prescribing the medecine and the one of black neon tetra because it wasn't swimming up and was mostly spinning at the bottom of the fish tank. The worst one was the black neon tetra because I haven't fed him in 2 days before euthanasia and no one could tell me what it had and how I could have helped him.
The Betta Subreddit is pretty wholesome, the group gives a lot of good advice and are very good about telling people they need a bigger tank without being cruel
When I was a little kid I was enamored by orandas and bubble eyes. They got me into the hobby as an adult, but I've only kept orandas of the 2. I just cant justify getting bubble eyes because of the health issues they can have. Currently I only have veil tails. As fancies go, I feel like they have less issues. The kid inside me wants them SOOOOO BAD, but the adult tells me to be a responsible fish keeper if I can.
I have cured a betta fish that had a swim bladder disorder with deshelled peas. It can be hard to get them to eat it but it can be done. I didn't have any blood worms at the time so I tried it and it worked.
You can have really really cool fish for restaurants or hotels ect, but they have to be proper aquariums. Think the animal planet show tanked, they knew all about each fish they used, mandated the tank size to be at least the required space, used tons of tank plans and decorations, had proper filters, and would even explain all the cleaning and maintenance. They also never housed fish that would attack each other even if the client wanted it. They actually cared about the safety of the animal. (Ps I really hope this doesnt age poorly cuz as of now to my knowledge they have a good rep)
Its so weird to me that an organization would have fish bowls as decoration. I highly doubt they would have over filled dog cages as decoration. Its so frustrating that fish abuse is normalized :(
That fish suffering from finrot honestly looks like it's gotten its fins nipped. I used to have community tanks and saw a lot of finnipping that looked almost exactly like that. I never had goldfish but that's definitely what it looks like to me.
I had planned to add goldfish to my indoor patio pond, however this video helped me decide that they were probably not the best pet for me, mostly because of the size of the pond and I also hear that they will eat any plants that they come across! Instead, I think I will consider zebra danios, white cloud mountain minnows or maybe rice fish. Thanks for putting this video out there! 👍
I totally agree with the breeding of ranchus. 80% of ranchus have to deal with swimmbladder disease at some point in their lives because of their peculiar shape the air gets stuck and they can’t live happily
My parents bought me and my brother two goldfish when we were kids. "My" goldfish's name was Silvergold (my brother's was named Goldy-Orange btw) and he got pretty big. He had a really nice long tail and a slimmer body than Goldy-Orange, but Silvergold had a tumor on one of his fins, and one small one eventually grew on his tail. Luckily they didn't seem to bother him very much. Both of them lived for a while. Goldy was the first to pass away many years after we first got them, then Silver did a year or so later.
You know who isn’t a questionable goldfish owner? LukesGoldies :D Hes amazing and you can tell he absolutely adores his little fishies. He’s so hands on with them and they love him to bits since they have total trust in him. Amazing dude and great channel if you love seeing fish treated well
Back in the 70s (or 60s?) there were actual SHOES with live goldfish in them! I don’t know if this was a one or two time thing for fashion magazine or what happened to the fish afterward (I assume they died)I just remember that I saw photos of this when it happened, when I was in my 20s. Well, now I’m aging myself lol. I thought it was absolutely horrible. Forgot all about it until I watched this video. I don’t know what happened with this. I imagine it got banned immediately. These were clear plexiglass platform shoes for women.
There was also toilets available back several years ago that had a fish tank for decoration where the standard tank normally is and all I could think about was getting one and filling it with those plastic sea creatures you attach to tank walls and fake plants for the aesthetic. Would NEVER recommended putting any live fish in it even though the water tank for the toilet flush was separate from the fish tank. 😩
I once went into a furniture store, and they had a water bed FILLED with goldfish. Idek how they got the fish IN there...or how they fed them...or how to clean it...
For my nephew’s first birthday, we had goldfish bowls as table centerpieces. Now the family themselves kept 5 (they now have Glo fish that have an excellent tank- I see it cleaned often, so they have learned from their mistake couple years prior) and I took the remaining 30ish. I lived over an hour away, but we had a cooler from the party left over. Now all the bowls themselves would have been a nuisance, so I put all the fish into the cooler to transport them. When I got home 3 were dead. Thankfully I had a tank left over from my own fish, so I could house them for the time being. The last fish died about two weeks later. So I generally dislike the notion of these fish being used for table decorations, even if they do keep the kids entertained for about 10 solid minutes and few second intervals.
yeah, and the way people treat them is disgusting, especially because they get massive and live 15-20 years in the wild, whereas in captivity they live an average of 2 years.
It would be interesting for you to venture into r/Cockatiel r/parrots r/petmice ! I’m in the mouse and parrot groups and you see a lot of cute stuff but also alot of very very questionable stuff … I’m in a Reddit group for every animal I do own , and it’s super fun but also kinda sad some of the post you see ..
i do agree with you about not supporting the breeding of certain fancys. i dont think its fair that certain animals are basically bred and bred to the point where they are more likely to suffer certain health issues even if they do look quite cute
The tumors like that are most likely a viral wart, based on my extensive research for my goldfish with similar bumps. If they get the growths in a particular spot it could be something else though. For example slowly increasing gill growths is a thyroid problem thats treatable with (i think) iodine
For interesting Reddit content, it's always worth looking at the "top posts of all time", but also have a look at "most controversial", you can find some really weird stuff, depending on the subreddit.
8:55 the issue with the tank is the lack of hiding spaces. With multiple fish of different size and breed there’s a lot of challenges with fighting. It’s important they have someone to rest while that tank looks way too empty. It doesn’t need a ton more but more coverage it absolutely needed. A lot of fish are eaten by other fish with tanks like those. Usually 3 is fine with close watch but more than that can be much harder to handle. And watching won’t always solve the problem because larger groups work faster at abruptly deciding who they want gone.
got so triggered on hamster subreddits cuz ppl would post pics of their dead hamsters asking what happened to them after bad care and I would scroll and see dead hamsters just as I recently lost my old baby 😵 moderators didn't care, I'd tell them and 5 days later they'd reply "yeah it's removed whatever". So not only ppl were insensitive but also breaking rules that weren't enforced. Went there to share or give advices if needed and left with the sight of a dead pet in mind for a while.
You can actually do big water changes without crashing the cycle. The bacteria live on the surfaces, not in the water column. So as long as you don't scrub or let your decor dry out, you shouldn't crash your cycle, even with a 100% water change.
@@NikkyTikkiTavi True, as long as some water stays in the filter. I've never done a 100% change, but I have done 80% and my fish was fine (I usually do 10% - 30%)
OMG! No way I was just randomly looking at goldfish on RUclips and I cannot believe you came across my Reddit post. That was a 55 gallon tank (200 plus liters) with a fluval 407. You would be happy to know that all of those fish are doing really well and I have a newer post where I show off my 120 gallon (450 liter) tank. I transferred all my fish to that 120 gallon and the 55 is being used for bristlenose and clown plecos.
Question can you make a guide about breeding brine shrimp or worms? Also sumo is like the cutest fish on the PLANET ( the other fish are still adorable though) though I have minnows that don’t really want to be a snack so I can’t get an oranga in till I get another tank
My first two goldfish I killed before I could name them. I was really young and fed them to death. I didn't want them to be hungry and since they kept eating I kept feeding them. I have learned a lot since then, I have two large fantails called Sushi and Bubbles.
please do this kind of video again i love learning about caring for fish also i love that you always have animal crossing music playing in the background:)
I have a tetra with a little tumor. I have tried everything to treat him and nothing has changed. After all my research I have come to the conclusion it is a case of Lymphocystis which has no treatment. Fish diseases are weird and can be hard to diagnose. I can say the little tetra is doing well. Chases other tetras, eats like a pig and comes over to see me schooling with the others. I KNOW if I start to see him struggle it will be that time. However, given his life seems to be pretty normal as of right now he will remain with his buddies.
I was watching your bad pet enclosure videos aswell as emzotics right before bed and I had a nightmare about people keeping red slider turtles in tanks with no land and I woke up like "NO THEY NEED LAND!! THEYRE GOING TO DROWN,THEY NEED TO BASK!!!" currently in detox and everyone here thought it was bloody hilarious. I shall never forget.
Out of curiosity how Do you find a vet who can remove a tumor? It seems so specialized. I don’t have any fish with tumors but did many years ago and I just assumed it couldn’t be safely treated
I had a goldfish that got dropsy when it was 11 years old. I treated it with the treatment and u was surprised it recovered. But a few months later it happened again. It recovered 2ns time. But about 6 months later it got it again and did not recover even though I did the same treatment. He was a lived pet abs I was so sad when he died.
i need help. my dad doesnt believe me when i say fish need multiple gallon tanks. he says "my friend (back in like the 1960s i think idk) had a goldfish and it was just fine in a bowl". he says that "i cant believe everything that i see on the internet" and that people have been housing goldfish in bowls for forever. i cant get him to understand that its not good for them, what do i do?
They can get huge and are dirtier than usual fish. Care and understanding of animals changes overtime and just because he thinks it looked ok doesn't mean the fish was happy or healthy. There are professionals that talk about animal care you can find online, books, and some pet stores have free pamphlets or the staff that can talk about their care. It's hard to change someone's mind but I hope this at least helps.
My goldfish died last Saturday, I was feeling extremely depressed and every pet shop I went to either wouldn’t sell fish to me or didn’t sell fish in general. For some reason, all of the goldfish (the same breed and colour of mine) were all getting sick like mine did and were dying. Tomorrow I am hoping to get my very first Betta fish! Wish me luck and enjoy all of your fish friends ❤
I had an opaline gourami that actually recovered from dropsy on it's own with no treatment. It's scales were sticking out like a pine cone and it was bloated and it didn't swim right. After a weak it looked and acted completely normal, but it did die a few weeks later so I don't know, but it was also an adult when I got it so it might have died from old age. Even though I probably had it for almost a year. Very confusing.
my aunt gave me a betta fish in a tiny bowl that she got from a birthday party it was very sad and small and didnt have much color so I changed it water and bought a bigger tank its doing much better and its color is coming back!
i knew someone who had a pretty big goldfish in like a 10 liter tank. Few plants, think it had a filter. But there was something clearly wrong with her: She was almost always upside down and wouldnt move. not even gills or fins moving, seemingly for hours ata time (she was alive, sometimes shed be swimming, though clearly struggling to). They never took her to the vet, just kept her like that. They thought it was funny.. tank was also often pretty dirty. I didnt know anything about fish back then, and assumed it was something neurological perhaps. practically begged them to take her to the vet already (and get a bigger tank). They never did, didnt see the point. Dont know what happened to her, but i hope they eventually did something at least
SOADA i know this is a BIG ask but if you could, I have no other social medias other then reddit its ok if you cant but can you do a enclosure review on reddit? I COMPLETELY understand if you cant and its fine though! you have a lot of work to do still love your content anyway (my lovebird loves watching you to she gets exited when she hears your voice from my laptop and comes over:)
My younger brothers fish got swim bladder disease, we started feeding him a special diet of de-shelled peas but he sadly passed away… He was a very adorable fish why it lasted
My high school art teacher had beta fish in a small colored vase, no filter no heater just in the vase, it was kinda sad when he has huge fish tanks for his goldfish and crabs…
Its funny how people give crap to people who might keep goldfish in wamer water....but they fail to realize goldfish are essentially a common carp and can survive pretty much anything including 82 degree water...
I was working for my dad's Handiman Business, and one of the people had 2 commet goldfish, a common goldfish, a black moor, a fan tail goldfish, a common pleco, and a coi in a 30 or 35 gallon tank, and a heater set for 85°F then the next time I came there, to help him the water was beneath the filter, so far to the point where the filter quit working, the common goldfish was gone, and the fantail and black moor both had dropse, all the fish were gasping at the surface, and I smelt the water, because they clearly hadn't done a water change (but it didn't smell bad), and the water smelt like dawn dish soap, and the water was cloudy both times (I never came back to that job, because I just felt awful for those fish)
One time i was at a friend's birthday party and they had small bowl with smt like 4 reaaally tiny fishes in each table (the glass of the bowl also wasn't the best, it was really thin and breaks easily)
I got my first betta from my high school prom. They where used as center pieces for the tables. Lucky for the betta who was dubbed Mr Tuna. I had actually was researching bettas because I wanted one. The next day I went out and got a five gallon tank with filter and heater.
@@LinktheHylianChampion117 I agree I felt horrible for them. I stayed at prom way later than I wanted to. Because I was very worried for the fish. I tracked down the teacher who was responsible and she asked if I wanted one and she was going to give them to students on Monday. I got home at like 1 am so it was way late to buy him anything. He only lived about a year after that. I think it was the stress of what happened to him that caught up with him.
@@XWierdThingsHappenXat least you were able to save him, even though he ended up passing away. I think permits should be required to use live animals as decorations at events.
taking care of fish is way harder than most people think. I had fish for a while, but decided that even though I love how they look and like the animal, I'm never going to get them again, because the kind of care they need is just not for me.
I know many places that sell animals without caring for consequences resort to aggressive inbreeding, resulting in much more cancer or other detrimental genetic conditions. I don't know how fish suffer from the same inbreeding practices in particular.
People say goldfish have a 3 second memory. Probably because the stupid carnival fish only live for 3 seconds so they can't remember anything for more than 3 seconds. (i dont know the real reason im kidding)

Hey guys if you’re wondering where my video before this went (the TikTok video) RUclips has unfortunately removed the video and gave my channel a warning for “violence and graphic content” which there was none of. So far I can’t seem to get the video back so not sure if it will come back :/ super confused about it.
Love that they'll ping your channel for graphic content but dont take down the videos of animal abuse
I feel bad, RUclips can make no sense at times, it's annoying.
Thank you so much for this video! I love how you are so honest about what's wrong with how people treat animals and I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
They take your video down for graphic content but leave fish abuse videos still up
It's like when your video about that youtuber who harmed their axolotl got taken down. Theirs didn't get taken down, but yours did? And this is problaly the same thing:I The bad side of having bots check if a video should be allowed to exist on youtube or not.
it's a shitty stereotype that goldfish are expendable short lived pets. i've known some owners who managed to get their goldfish to live to be 12 years or more, they just die young from neglect
One of my 2nd cousins had a huge tank with only 4 fancy tail goldfish, 2nof them lived past their lifespan of 8 years, one of them sadly died of dropsy and the other one just lived past its 7th birthday.
yeah, my stepbrother won a goldfish at a fair around 5 or so years ago, & it’s still alive & well! His name is Nemo lol
People also think they're small. They're not. Some breeds are bigger than others though
Hi,
i have been trying to answer this question for around 2 months now. Unfortunately none of my friends know much about animals so i have migrated here in hopes of finding an answer. :)
This is purely theoretical but say i ‘did’ have a chihuahua that i disliked very much, from what hight would i have to drop it in order to make it explode on impact with the ground? .-.
i have done a few tests already with chihuahua sized objects however the results remain inconsistent and it is unclear weather to go within a range of 2-3 or 5-7 story buildings. I would also prefer a larger splash range in the instance of children passing the foot of the building. If lucky i may be able to not only eliminate my ‘theoretical’ dog but also manage to traumatise multiple small children with the scattered remains of it’s ‘theoretical’ body.
As mentioned previously, any help on this project would be greatly appreciated,
much thanks

@@takuma359 … depends how old it is, if it’s young, there is a high chance- ;-;
This reminds me of the goldfish I used to own as a kid. It’s like I did everything wrong, I got two baby comets from a fair game of all places. When I got home of course I didn’t have anything ready so I put them in a glass vase. I finally got them in a ten gallon tank but obviously they outgrew it. I then convinced my parents to get a 30 gallon tank which would have been great but it barely had anything in it, and they outgrew their hide. Their filter was usually filthy all the time, I would do a full water change and empty the whole thing. At least I used water conditioner and salt on the tap water I used to fill it but I would put the poor things right back in after a few hours instead of letting it cycle through. I’m amazed looking back that they didn’t get sick, or maybe I just didn’t notice.
They were hardy little things though, they kept growing and got to the length of my hand, still beautiful fish. I finally did some research and found out to my surprise that they were pond fish. I still loved them a lot so I actually researched building a pond in our back yard until I just had to give up, I finally accepted that I couldn’t care for them.
Luckily the story has a happy ending because I posted them on Craigslist, being picky about the offers until a woman responded who had a big outdoor pond! She loved fish and it was her passion hobby to care for them, so I said my good byes and gave them to her!
I feel so bad for the bad care I gave them, even though I was a kid my parents could have stepped in or I could have researched sooner. Goldfish are just assumed to be fine with anything which, being so hardy makes sense, but they deserve the best care too. I’m so happy I was able to find them a good home and I hope they lived their best life. I know giving up pets is hard, but the experience has made me thoroughly believe in rehoming pets when you get more than you bargained for. Sometimes you just can’t handle it and you and the animal will be happier finding them a better home
its okay, you tried. you did good ans you loved them, you made sure they went to someone who could actually care for them and love them too. you didnt know
You're a good human ❤ it's important to realize what's best for our animals, even if that means giving them up. Good on you!
This is so much like my story with my goldfish, Goldie. I got him from the fair when I was 11 and was absolutely clueless about how to take care of goldfish and I didn't do any research! I didn't use water conditioner, didn't have a filter (only a bubble stone) always did 100% water changes and he just lived in a bowl for a while. At some point when he was still pretty small, he got a parasite (I now know it was a fish louse) and thankfully, it went away on it's own, but I became close with him after that and got him a 10 gal. After a few years, I noticed him having what I now now is swim bladder problems and thankfully some nice people at a local Petco helped me get him water conditioner and a filter. He stopped having bladder problems, but still was stressed, so I moved him to a 30 gal. I started doing all the research I could and then got him a 55 gal, but he was still stressed, so I tried so many medicines and water treatments, but none seemed to work. Finally, I called a fish vet and she said that he's actually pretty strong and fairly healthy and the only problem is that he has slight abnormal tissue growth in the gills and fin ray fractures (fin fractures are normal for long tailed fish), which I was very glad to hear wasn't some huge or life threatening problem. She told me to use salt to help his gills and even though he still seems stressed sometimes, I can always count on him being happy around feeding time. This whole experience has made me a much better owner and have a closer bond to him over the years. I regret so many countless mistakes I made in the beginning, but all I can do is make it up now right?
Now he's 7, almost 8 and in his 55 gallon tank, he still struggles with health issues from time to time, but is overall, amazingly strong. I love him dearly :)
You did a good job raising them since they grew so big! They’re probably enjoying the outdoor pond ☀️
I'm glad they found a good home, and you did your best to take care of them. :)
I had a Betta that absolutely loved peas. I didn't make a habit of giving them too him, but I used to occasionally try to feed my shrimp with them and he would steal them.
He was probably just a one off though. He was a greedy boy and would literally eat everything except for frozen food...He was an odd boy. I loved him.
What a darling, fish are just water cats sometimes
What species of betta? I had a blue veiltail once a few years ago. A lovely old gentleman he was. His name was Kuromaru. RIP My gorgeous boy
Every Betta I've had always ignored them. I wasted so many peas lol.
There was a Reddit post a few years back (I think r/bridezillas) where a bride was convinced that having 2 goldfish in a bowl as center pieces would be a lovely idea to represent their marriage because they were animal lovers and all that. When asked what they were going to do with 100+ goldfish after the ceremony, she expected some of the guests to take home one or two of these goldfish as a party favor, which, obviously, didn’t happen. According to Op, only one of the fish survived.
The thing I don't understand about these people is, why not just get plastic fish?
@@peggedyourdad9560 But why would you use fake fish when you can express your love with (mostly) living goldfish? Don’t you think having stressed, dying or dead goldfish in glass bowls is so romantic?
@@beeziebubs2756 you do make a good point, how else can one truly capture what it means to be married without the sight of activity dying fish?
The scent of death, the janitor had to be happy to clean the venue
people really have to care and love small animals as much as big pets. I don't care if people call me sensitive. Small animals feels emotions and pain too.
very true
I regard my goldfish as being my kids tbh
not buying them in the first place is probably the better option. you're basically paying someone to breed animals into existence just to keep them in a place they don't belong to.
this is considering you absolutely know what you're doing and are gonna give the fish a good long life without causing it an early death and then moving on to the next fish.
sensitive /j
Ugh, Goldfish bring back painful memories. I bought some and had them in a 10 gallon tank with plants and everything. Folks said that I 'wasted money' on them and a bowl would just be fine. I loved them lots! I went away for a couple of days, had a friend come and feed them. Right after I got home, we had a blizzard and I was unable to go anywhere, and they suddenly turned up with a terrible case of Ichthyophthirius. Everything was shut down. I did what I could, but I had no medication to treat them. Within 12 hours they were dead. I felt so guilty and cried. I will never again have any 'small pet' without having an emergency kit of medications and treatments already on hand.
I agree with Soda when it comes to breeds of goldfish that look like they have a poor quality of life due to being bred to look a certain way.
I was hesitant about getting orandas because they just look uncomfortable to me, but I was convinced by pet shop staff that they were less messy than regular goldfish.
You know that pet shop staff will say anything to get you to buy something?
not goldfish being used as decor for an awards ceremony wtf 😭
Yeah poor little swimming bois :(
ikr im glad they were saved
And the award of animal abuse go to the decorater
Had two girls on my wp team talking about maybe getting fish today, I gave a little advice about tank sizes and lifespans when they asked. One of my teammates was really nice, the other was completely skeptical the whole time and looked at me like I was crazy for suggesting that bettas should have 5 gallons, and that goldfish can live up to 20 years.
It's not really her fault, but honestly I'm just baffled where the mindset that ''they're just fish, they die in a month, it doesn't matter" keeps coming from. I know they're not really an equal comparison, but if you talked about dogs like that, people would be outraged.
Tw maybe?*
"They're just mastiffs, they only live 6 years, who cares?"
Absolutely people care less about fish in general. Some people get them to look pretty because they aren't cuddly in the same way cats or dogs are. I don't trust anyone who views one animal above another in life and death
people see aquatic animals as decorations, unfortunately. it really sucks how little people care about animals just because they're smaller and you can't pet them
also, as someone that has a turtle and a mastiff (who's about 6-7 years old) that comparison broke my heart because it's the exact same thing. i know that big dogs have shorter lifespans but i think most people would agree that you should still love and care for them since keeping them happy and healthy allows them to live long and happy lives, so i don't get why people don't have the same mentality when it comes to other, smaller animals. lots of people have pet turtles that don't live super long because of neglect and poor care, so it feeds the idea that they're a good present for your kid ("they'll only live a few years anyway") when the reality is that their shortened lifespan is typically the result of letting them get sick or keeping them in awful conditions (and the same goes for fish)
then if you say ''they're just dogs, they only live 5 years, who cares?'' they get mad, so why do they even say things abt fish?
@@mammoneymelon an it's disgusting
As a fish owner, some of these really break my heart.
i agree
This video just reminds me of the 4 goldfish I rescued from a neighbour who kept then in a 30 L tank😭 1 passed away but the other 3 lived to move to an 150 L indoor pond and eventually to a specialty owners 300 L indoor pond when I had to move countries. Seeing those poor things in small tanks breaks my heart all over again.
aww that was so kind they must be very happy in the pond
the goldfish in the tub is mine !! his name is wallee and he's in his quarantine tub while im treating him to figure out the root of his swim bladder issues and then he goes back in his 50 gal :) i absolutely love your channel and made an audible gasp when i saw wallee only screen. thank you so much for educating people on these animals and keep on making your amazing content !!
Reddit is like the hub for scummy pet owners. I have 3 fantails in a 300 litre planted bathtub (plus side of my partner working for a trade supplier). Goldfish are probably up there as one of the most abused/neglected pets out there
The pets abused the most are pets advertised as good for kids
Yep. Right next to bettas and turtles.
@@NikkyTikkiTavi And budgies, hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils, the list goes on. I would also put in an argument that even cats and dogs are often not cared for properly or their care is lackluster, especially cats. Basically, any commonly kept pet or animal that is often advertised as "beginner friendly" or "low maintenance" is going to have many people who aren't going to care for them properly or really at all and buy them on impulse without researching appropriate care beforehand.
@@peggedyourdad9560
Absolutely.
This is part of why I want to try setting up a pet care club at my school, to help teach kids that animals are a responsibility and if they want a pet they need to do research first.
@@NikkyTikkiTavi That sounds like an awesome idea, hope it works out for ya! If you haven’t already, I would include some discussion on the best ways to acquire an animal and how to pick a good one to bring home. Either way, good luck!
The birdie imitating you in a lot of intros always makes me smile.
I've always wanted a gold fish, mainly a pearlscale goldfish, since they're adorable and huge chonkers
I've been watching your videos for a long time now, and i thank you for your fish care tips! Once I get one, I'll definitely put some of the tips to good use. I'll give him/her a big tank and give it some cute chubby fishy friends lol ❤️
I recently had to euthanize my gourami because of dropsy, it sucks so much :( I tried adding a little salt to her tank for water retention, melafix for bacteria, paracleanse for parasites, nothing worked. I'd never lost a fish to dropsy before and I felt really guilty, it's good to know it just happens sometimes.
I had to euthanize 2 fish : one serpae tetra because I probably couldn't get the treatment without a vet prescribing the medecine and the one of black neon tetra because it wasn't swimming up and was mostly spinning at the bottom of the fish tank. The worst one was the black neon tetra because I haven't fed him in 2 days before euthanasia and no one could tell me what it had and how I could have helped him.
The Betta Subreddit is pretty wholesome, the group gives a lot of good advice and are very good about telling people they need a bigger tank without being cruel
When I was a little kid I was enamored by orandas and bubble eyes. They got me into the hobby as an adult, but I've only kept orandas of the 2. I just cant justify getting bubble eyes because of the health issues they can have. Currently I only have veil tails. As fancies go, I feel like they have less issues. The kid inside me wants them SOOOOO BAD, but the adult tells me to be a responsible fish keeper if I can.
I have cured a betta fish that had a swim bladder disorder with deshelled peas. It can be hard to get them to eat it but it can be done. I didn't have any blood worms at the time so I tried it and it worked.
My family used peas for a black moore goldfish and it worked for her swim bladder problems.
You can have really really cool fish for restaurants or hotels ect, but they have to be proper aquariums. Think the animal planet show tanked, they knew all about each fish they used, mandated the tank size to be at least the required space, used tons of tank plans and decorations, had proper filters, and would even explain all the cleaning and maintenance. They also never housed fish that would attack each other even if the client wanted it. They actually cared about the safety of the animal. (Ps I really hope this doesnt age poorly cuz as of now to my knowledge they have a good rep)
Its so weird to me that an organization would have fish bowls as decoration. I highly doubt they would have over filled dog cages as decoration. Its so frustrating that fish abuse is normalized :(
It’s typically pretty easy to tell when a goldfish is sick. Idk why these people don’t realize
That fish suffering from finrot honestly looks like it's gotten its fins nipped. I used to have community tanks and saw a lot of finnipping that looked almost exactly like that. I never had goldfish but that's definitely what it looks like to me.
I had planned to add goldfish to my indoor patio pond, however this video helped me decide that they were probably not the best pet for me, mostly because of the size of the pond and I also hear that they will eat any plants that they come across! Instead, I think I will consider zebra danios, white cloud mountain minnows or maybe rice fish. Thanks for putting this video out there! 👍
Mollies make good pond fish too tbh
I totally agree with the breeding of ranchus. 80% of ranchus have to deal with swimmbladder disease at some point in their lives because of their peculiar shape the air gets stuck and they can’t live happily
My parents bought me and my brother two goldfish when we were kids. "My" goldfish's name was Silvergold (my brother's was named Goldy-Orange btw) and he got pretty big. He had a really nice long tail and a slimmer body than Goldy-Orange, but Silvergold had a tumor on one of his fins, and one small one eventually grew on his tail. Luckily they didn't seem to bother him very much. Both of them lived for a while. Goldy was the first to pass away many years after we first got them, then Silver did a year or so later.
You know who isn’t a questionable goldfish owner? LukesGoldies :D Hes amazing and you can tell he absolutely adores his little fishies. He’s so hands on with them and they love him to bits since they have total trust in him. Amazing dude and great channel if you love seeing fish treated well
Hey! I'm a mod for him, and I have to agree! He loves those little babies so much!
Lukes is the goldfish god i swear
Lukes is the goldfish god i swear
I'm so happy now that you mentioned about him :)
@@KB._. ahh that’s so cool! he absolutely adores his fish and he seems like such a chill and positive guy 😭😭
Back in the 70s (or 60s?) there were actual SHOES with live goldfish in them! I don’t know if this was a one or two time thing for fashion magazine or what happened to the fish afterward (I assume they died)I just remember that I saw photos of this when it happened, when I was in my 20s. Well, now I’m aging myself lol. I thought it was absolutely horrible. Forgot all about it until I watched this video. I don’t know what happened with this. I imagine it got banned immediately. These were clear plexiglass platform shoes for women.
What the fuck
There was also toilets available back several years ago that had a fish tank for decoration where the standard tank normally is and all I could think about was getting one and filling it with those plastic sea creatures you attach to tank walls and fake plants for the aesthetic. Would NEVER recommended putting any live fish in it even though the water tank for the toilet flush was separate from the fish tank. 😩
I once went into a furniture store, and they had a water bed FILLED with goldfish. Idek how they got the fish IN there...or how they fed them...or how to clean it...
For my nephew’s first birthday, we had goldfish bowls as table centerpieces. Now the family themselves kept 5 (they now have Glo fish that have an excellent tank- I see it cleaned often, so they have learned from their mistake couple years prior) and I took the remaining 30ish. I lived over an hour away, but we had a cooler from the party left over. Now all the bowls themselves would have been a nuisance, so I put all the fish into the cooler to transport them. When I got home 3 were dead. Thankfully I had a tank left over from my own fish, so I could house them for the time being.
The last fish died about two weeks later.
So I generally dislike the notion of these fish being used for table decorations, even if they do keep the kids entertained for about 10 solid minutes and few second intervals.
Legitimately overjoyed when your birds tried to say your intro. Delightful.
1:08 goldfish are actually one of the most popular fish, and they're known to be some of the most disposable and abused fish ever.
yeah, and the way people treat them is disgusting, especially because they get massive and live 15-20 years in the wild, whereas in captivity they live an average of 2 years.
yuki just disappearing after the second intro killed me, it's like you got rid of him 😂
It would be interesting for you to venture into r/Cockatiel r/parrots r/petmice !
I’m in the mouse and parrot groups and you see a lot of cute stuff but also alot of very very questionable stuff …
I’m in a Reddit group for every animal I do own , and it’s super fun but also kinda sad some of the post you see ..
Yea
i do agree with you about not supporting the breeding of certain fancys. i dont think its fair that certain animals are basically bred and bred to the point where they are more likely to suffer certain health issues even if they do look quite cute
The tumors like that are most likely a viral wart, based on my extensive research for my goldfish with similar bumps. If they get the growths in a particular spot it could be something else though. For example slowly increasing gill growths is a thyroid problem thats treatable with (i think) iodine
I love hearing the birds in the background they just sound like they’re having a good time! XD
Woah, if I saw live animals being used as centrepieces for an awards show, I would get up on stage and make on hell of a fuss!! 😡
For interesting Reddit content, it's always worth looking at the "top posts of all time", but also have a look at "most controversial", you can find some really weird stuff, depending on the subreddit.
8:55 the issue with the tank is the lack of hiding spaces. With multiple fish of different size and breed there’s a lot of challenges with fighting. It’s important they have someone to rest while that tank looks way too empty. It doesn’t need a ton more but more coverage it absolutely needed. A lot of fish are eaten by other fish with tanks like those. Usually 3 is fine with close watch but more than that can be much harder to handle. And watching won’t always solve the problem because larger groups work faster at abruptly deciding who they want gone.
got so triggered on hamster subreddits cuz ppl would post pics of their dead hamsters asking what happened to them after bad care and I would scroll and see dead hamsters just as I recently lost my old baby 😵 moderators didn't care, I'd tell them and 5 days later they'd reply "yeah it's removed whatever".
So not only ppl were insensitive but also breaking rules that weren't enforced. Went there to share or give advices if needed and left with the sight of a dead pet in mind for a while.
Loool I love how your goldies in the back are playing with an uprooted plant
I hate how goldfish are abused so much. Goldfish are the majority of my fish keeping hobby and I hate to see them hurt
You should look into r/shittyaquariums and r/badaquariums. It’s so bad.
i like these type of videos it’s really nice to see you excited about goldfish and wanting to educate people!
You can actually do big water changes without crashing the cycle. The bacteria live on the surfaces, not in the water column. So as long as you don't scrub or let your decor dry out, you shouldn't crash your cycle, even with a 100% water change.
Most of it is in the filter media though
@@mollysministuff
Doing a water change doesn't affect your filter media, either.
@@NikkyTikkiTavi True, as long as some water stays in the filter. I've never done a 100% change, but I have done 80% and my fish was fine (I usually do 10% - 30%)
i was in a thesis explanation lesson while watching this video and just gave me an idea to make my thesis around goldfish, thank you lmao
OMG! No way I was just randomly looking at goldfish on RUclips and I cannot believe you came across my Reddit post. That was a 55 gallon tank (200 plus liters) with a fluval 407. You would be happy to know that all of those fish are doing really well and I have a newer post where I show off my 120 gallon (450 liter) tank. I transferred all my fish to that 120 gallon and the 55 is being used for bristlenose and clown plecos.
Question can you make a guide about breeding brine shrimp or worms? Also sumo is like the cutest fish on the PLANET ( the other fish are still adorable though) though I have minnows that don’t really want to be a snack so I can’t get an oranga in till I get another tank
I feel like 50% of this subreddit is kids who didn’t do research and got goldfish randomly and it sucks
Single tailed goldfish need a 100 gallon tank and 20 gallons per goldfish added.
My first two goldfish I killed before I could name them. I was really young and fed them to death. I didn't want them to be hungry and since they kept eating I kept feeding them. I have learned a lot since then, I have two large fantails called Sushi and Bubbles.
I really love your content because it makes me feel less crazy about being upset by stuff like this on TikTok :(
please do this kind of video again i love learning about caring for fish also i love that you always have animal crossing music playing in the background:)
Bondi Vet in Australia did surgery on a famous goldfish. The video is on their youtube channel.
I have a tetra with a little tumor. I have tried everything to treat him and nothing has changed. After all my research I have come to the conclusion it is a case of Lymphocystis which has no treatment. Fish diseases are weird and can be hard to diagnose. I can say the little tetra is doing well. Chases other tetras, eats like a pig and comes over to see me schooling with the others. I KNOW if I start to see him struggle it will be that time. However, given his life seems to be pretty normal as of right now he will remain with his buddies.
I was watching your bad pet enclosure videos aswell as emzotics right before bed and I had a nightmare about people keeping red slider turtles in tanks with no land and I woke up like "NO THEY NEED LAND!! THEYRE GOING TO DROWN,THEY NEED TO BASK!!!" currently in detox and everyone here thought it was bloody hilarious. I shall never forget.
Out of curiosity how
Do you find a vet who can remove a tumor? It seems so specialized. I don’t have any fish with tumors but did many years ago and I just assumed it couldn’t be safely treated
Petition to have soda leave and only have the birdie make a video. Clearly, they have lots of opinions and I think they should be heard lol
I had a goldfish that got dropsy when it was 11 years old. I treated it with the treatment and u was surprised it recovered. But a few months later it happened again. It recovered 2ns time. But about 6 months later it got it again and did not recover even though I did the same treatment. He was a lived pet abs I was so sad when he died.
the bacground birb sounds are pure serotonin
Fun Fact: a goldfish being in captivity caps it’s growth if in the wild with good conditions the goldfish will be allowed to grow MASSIVE
i need help. my dad doesnt believe me when i say fish need multiple gallon tanks. he says "my friend (back in like the 1960s i think idk) had a goldfish and it was just fine in a bowl". he says that "i cant believe everything that i see on the internet" and that people have been housing goldfish in bowls for forever. i cant get him to understand that its not good for them, what do i do?
They can get huge and are dirtier than usual fish. Care and understanding of animals changes overtime and just because he thinks it looked ok doesn't mean the fish was happy or healthy. There are professionals that talk about animal care you can find online, books, and some pet stores have free pamphlets or the staff that can talk about their care. It's hard to change someone's mind but I hope this at least helps.
I love how you're spending a whole minute reassuring people you're not a reddit person haha
My goldfish died last Saturday, I was feeling extremely depressed and every pet shop I went to either wouldn’t sell fish to me or didn’t sell fish in general. For some reason, all of the goldfish (the same breed and colour of mine) were all getting sick like mine did and were dying. Tomorrow I am hoping to get my very first Betta fish! Wish me luck and enjoy all of your fish friends ❤
I had an opaline gourami that actually recovered from dropsy on it's own with no treatment. It's scales were sticking out like a pine cone and it was bloated and it didn't swim right. After a weak it looked and acted completely normal, but it did die a few weeks later so I don't know, but it was also an adult when I got it so it might have died from old age. Even though I probably had it for almost a year. Very confusing.
my aunt gave me a betta fish in a tiny bowl that she got from a birthday party it was very sad and small and didnt have much color so I changed it water and bought a bigger tank its doing much better and its color is coming back!
i knew someone who had a pretty big goldfish in like a 10 liter tank. Few plants, think it had a filter. But there was something clearly wrong with her: She was almost always upside down and wouldnt move. not even gills or fins moving, seemingly for hours ata time (she was alive, sometimes shed be swimming, though clearly struggling to). They never took her to the vet, just kept her like that. They thought it was funny.. tank was also often pretty dirty. I didnt know anything about fish back then, and assumed it was something neurological perhaps. practically begged them to take her to the vet already (and get a bigger tank). They never did, didnt see the point. Dont know what happened to her, but i hope they eventually did something at least
I love the magic trick when the bird disappeared 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I feel so bad now as an adult, I had a 2.5 gallon tank, with no heater and my betta died, not fast mind you but man Rip Grecko.
SOADA i know this is a BIG ask but if you could, I have no other social medias other then reddit its ok if you cant but can you do a enclosure review on reddit? I COMPLETELY understand if you cant and its fine though! you have a lot of work to do still love your content anyway (my lovebird loves watching you to she gets exited when she hears your voice from my laptop and comes over:)
My younger brothers fish got swim bladder disease, we started feeding him a special diet of de-shelled peas but he sadly passed away… He was a very adorable fish why it lasted
My high school art teacher had beta fish in a small colored vase, no filter no heater just in the vase, it was kinda sad when he has huge fish tanks for his goldfish and crabs…
Definitely would watch another one of these videos!
Its funny how people give crap to people who might keep goldfish in wamer water....but they fail to realize goldfish are essentially a common carp and can survive pretty much anything including 82 degree water...
I was working for my dad's Handiman Business, and one of the people had 2 commet goldfish, a common goldfish, a black moor, a fan tail goldfish, a common pleco, and a coi in a 30 or 35 gallon tank, and a heater set for 85°F then the next time I came there, to help him the water was beneath the filter, so far to the point where the filter quit working, the common goldfish was gone, and the fantail and black moor both had dropse, all the fish were gasping at the surface, and I smelt the water, because they clearly hadn't done a water change (but it didn't smell bad), and the water smelt like dawn dish soap, and the water was cloudy both times (I never came back to that job, because I just felt awful for those fish)
This was so sad to see
One time i was at a friend's birthday party and they had small bowl with smt like 4 reaaally tiny fishes in each table (the glass of the bowl also wasn't the best, it was really thin and breaks easily)
The bird was translating for pets watching the video
Lol I love the bird mocking you when he did it the third time it's like you killed him 0:03
Finally someone is talking about this!
I got my first betta from my high school prom. They where used as center pieces for the tables. Lucky for the betta who was dubbed Mr Tuna. I had actually was researching bettas because I wanted one. The next day I went out and got a five gallon tank with filter and heater.
that's good, it's pretty stupid to use live animals and decorations, I think most end up dying.
@@LinktheHylianChampion117 I agree I felt horrible for them. I stayed at prom way later than I wanted to. Because I was very worried for the fish. I tracked down the teacher who was responsible and she asked if I wanted one and she was going to give them to students on Monday. I got home at like 1 am so it was way late to buy him anything. He only lived about a year after that. I think it was the stress of what happened to him that caught up with him.
@@XWierdThingsHappenXat least you were able to save him, even though he ended up passing away. I think permits should be required to use live animals as decorations at events.
taking care of fish is way harder than most people think. I had fish for a while, but decided that even though I love how they look and like the animal, I'm never going to get them again, because the kind of care they need is just not for me.
I know many places that sell animals without caring for consequences resort to aggressive inbreeding, resulting in much more cancer or other detrimental genetic conditions.
I don't know how fish suffer from the same inbreeding practices in particular.
My friend told me “Fish do not need heaters or filters” not friends with the, anymore.
The cognitive dissonance is insane. No one would excuse a party or restaurant that had dogs stuffed in tiny cages ontop of each table as 'decoration.'

My first fish, a Betta I named Hearts, was one I took home from a wedding when I was 4. I loved him a lot but also wth?
I HAVE RECOVERED MY FLOWERHORN FROM DROPSY
When i was 9 i had a pet beta fish, he lived 2 and a half years. He drowned because he got stuck under a decoration and i cried all day
People say goldfish have a 3 second memory. Probably because the stupid carnival fish only live for 3 seconds so they can't remember anything for more than 3 seconds.
(i dont know the real reason im kidding)
Can’t believe it’s already been two years since I first watched this
I love goldfish; they are so sweet and cute. It makes me sad that it is socially acceptable to slowly drown them in a latrine.
You should do r/partyparrot
I own 3 goldfish 75 Gallons fish them 1 time a day and have a powerful filter to make sure there healthy
