Common Goldfish Care - NEED to Know
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Taking care of the common goldfish starts by giving this fish adequate amounts of water volume. Goldfish of this such can grow up to 12 inches long and it’s very crucial that you give your fish a large enough aquarium to move around in. The comet goldfish also gives off a lot of bio loud, so this means that you’re going to be changing a large amount of water on a routine schedule.

Most beginners don’t realize how much is involved when keeping aquarium goldfish. Single tailed goldfish can grow over 12 inches long and for the most part they belong in ponds. Keeping them in fish tanks is not a great plan. Long term. These fish can grow over a foot long and their bio load is extremely large. It’s entirely fine to choose to take care of these fish in Aquariums but just know that you have a lot of work ahead of you.

I have a 18 year old goldfish that has muddled her way through all our mess ups together by my side. She had a little friend my late dad bought for us and together they had babies, one survived as we had no idea that the eggs would be munched on. Then her little friend passed around 9 years old :( and her baby passed last year around 7/8 years old. She now has a 3 foot tank to herself and I swear she's a water puppy, she follows me, eats from my hand and I love her so much. Although I wish I knew her appropriate care from day one.
That's amazing! I bet she is gorgeous and sweet!
Given the age of your goldfish I think you have provided more than appropriate care. Nice job, Fiona.
Thank you guys, she's actually suffering from buoyancy issues at the moment, she's tilting to the side and I think she's maybe going to pass soon unfortunately :( but I love her so much and really wish she wouldn't but I can't find any issues with her water or anything. She just appears to be old now.
Your goldfish is a trooper
She truly is, love her so much, she has bounced back from her issues after a massive poop lol and is back to normal. :)
I won 2 goldfish at a fair and this video really helped me take care of them
Same here. Mine are still alive, are yours doing ok?
@@raultorresjr3473 I was given 2 goldfish
in 1 bag at a fair 5 days ago. These 2 young girls came up to me and didn't want them. I've no idea why they even played the game. One lived 4 days. The other one is still alive.
I did too! lol mine have surprisingly been alive for almost a year now
Aww! My brother won me a goldfish once at the fair and he lived for almost three years. RIP Corky :)
There's one at a house I visited but I think he's dying. His water looks green and he is swimming super fast. What do I do?
I adopted three goldfish from my brother who had them in a gallon fish tank and now I will be placing them in a 40 gallon tank . I’m a Newbie to aquariums. I am aware of their possible grown size and their waste so I’m trying to learn all I can to keep them healthy and safe.
We need to start a law so fairs can’t use gold fish as a game prize. It’s sad to see the situation they go through, parents don’t realize what’s involved with property caring for this fish.
I ended up getting the fair prize goldfish that my friend’s kids won (all under 5 years old). I don’t have fish, but I had to take it. They were shaking the bag vigorously when it was in there, then they poured it into a cup and kept taking it out and hugging it 😳 I have enough animals as it is, but I do love a good indoor pond. I used to rescue aquatic turtles, so these fish are easy for me in comparison. I feel so bad for the other fish who weren’t lucky enough to end up with someone who actually cares. Like, why are live animals a prize for kids? I don’t get it at all
I completely agree
We lost 2 fish a few months ago. We were so devastated. Our sons friend knew how hard our son was taking the loss so he won him one at the fair on Friday. I wasn't ready for another fish but now we have one. I know nothing about goldfish.
I am a parent whose now taking care of a carnival goldfish thanks to my children's grandparents. It's been 1.5 years and we are still going strong. Started in a ten gallon when he was tiny. Just bought a 30 gallon and I am working on building a planted aquarium. It hurt my heart to see the horrible tiny container he was in. I've made it my mission to give him the best care and life possible.
Someone left their fuse goldfish on my moms care so she brought it home tonight. I own fish but nothing that has the requirements of this fish. I honestly have no idea what to do. I’m going back to college in the fall and I don’t think I can give this fish the life it deserves. But I also can’t return it because who knows where it came from. I’m not allowed to have a 20+ gallon tank in my dorm
Won a common/comet goldfish at one of those weird win a fish games at the local picnic fairs. Partner and I decided to buy the $10 half gallon tank they had there as we didn’t have anything and I think secretly this was his way of getting a fish that he’s always wanted. This video helps so much as we are wanting our already large goldfish to live their happiest and best life. The name is Tank because the fish is already bigger than most we have seen 😂
I have a common goldfish and I feel so horrible because he’s currently in a 35 gallon with my other fish but I rescued him from my 8 year old cousin who had it in a half gallon “tank”. In the near future I would love to put him in a 100 gallon by himself.
Omg what, your comment is foreshadowing the video, 100 gallon is so much, I have to do so much Research for a school project with real fish. It’s so stupid bc I know many will die
It takes many years for comets to grow to 10 inches. I gave mine away to a guy with a koi pond and he was happy to get them gratis.
I’m watching this video because I’m going to the fair later today to rescue a couple. It won’t make a huge difference but it will for a couple of them. I did this a couple years ago, got them healthy and treated them as they had many diseases and once they were healthy I brought them to a plant store near me that takes in goldfish from situations like these and they have these massive ponds. Hope I can make a difference for a couple of them!
Our local pet suppliers in Inverness, mainly Simpsons garden centre and pets at home, will give you a head to head on keeping all fish before you buy.....
But of course you're right about the wee goldies, they do try to put of tired parents with moaning kids off buying because of the amount of dedication to make sure the wee fish have a good healthy life.
No more bowls, no more solitary fish out growing their ridiculous tiny homes..
Great video again ThanQ.🏴👌🏴
Im glad you made this video. I was unexpectedly gifted a 'fair fish,' a small common goldfish. I've never owned a fish before. I don't have room for a pond. Indoor aquarium with a small common goldfish can be rewarding, but these fish consume a lot of your time, energy, and money to keep them thriving! Buyer beware! 🐟
Exactly!!
Thanks for being the most direct real straight forward i fo I could find.
These fishes are highly, intelligent, every one of them have personalities and characters, I have them for 7 years , age wise is about 10 years old , and they can live up to 40 years , if you keep them right, I don’t feed them a lot , 2 small portions twice a day , they make great aquarium pets ,I use 55 gallon aquarium, 2 filter systems, one canister filter along with one water polisher filter , ( internal , external)
He's sooo right! Better to know now, than to find out after you're already invested yourself and the goldfish's life! It's a ton of work and can get pricey if you're doing it correctly. Always get your aquarium 1st and cycle it for a couple of months before adding fish! A natural setup with the correct live plants is better for you, your common goldfish, and your wallet! If you are someone who has the time, funds, and education for keeping this particular fish, it can be very rewarding as they are extremely responsive and social. Thanks for the great video!🐟💧
Good beginner video man, even veterans like a little basic info and content. Keep it up.
Friend, you are definitely not harsh at all. I find you very compassionate and forgiving in your education and truth-sharing. Definitely recommending you to new and prospective goldfish keepers as a gentle informative resource.
my son won 5 common goldfish at a food festival and i was decided to keep it safe and bought a small aquarium. and as you said the common goldfish would getting large and honestly it quite scared me. i think i need to send them back to the fish store. btw, out 5 common goldfish there is only 1 still alive and i put name it 'Lucky'
I don’t have a goldfish but I heard buying a “horse water tub” (the one they use to give water to horses)are good since they have a lot of water and space and cheap but as I said I’m no expert
I just brought one home from the fair and want to keep it alive as long as possible
Giving out fish at fairs should not be allowed. I won a gold fish at the fair and I could not bring myself to just let this poor animal die so I'm just going to try to take care of it.
Omg the fact that i watched your vids for a long time plus im into plants now and youre the same is super rad! I wanna do a cold tank so im trying these now that i have kept fish for long time now!
I bought pond plants for my turtle a few weeks later i saw orange things swimming 😮 i was shocked my turtle didn't eat them!! Anyways I ended up with 6 goldfishes i left them with my turtles in a 170-gallon tank. i then bought a 300 gallon for all 6 fishes, everyone, thought i was crazy!! A year later i have 20 goldfishes 😢 and a huge koi!! 😊 love my kiddos ❤️ ❤
A better way to phrase it is that you will need a 75+ gallon tank, EVENTUALLY. There is no reason you should stick a baby goldfish in a 75 gallon tank by itself.
I agree. I had two comet goldfish for about 8 years and they grew to be 10 inches long. I gave them to a guy for his koi pond. He was thrilled to get them for free. Now I have two more comets that I purchased a year ago. If your goldfish get too big somebody will take them for free and put them in a koi pond.
@@Kindheart93 Yes, goldfish are very sought after for koi ponds as they are a good "filler fish" to pad out the display a bit. You can't just fill your pond with ghost koi, unless you happen to have a bottomless credit card and enjoy spending half a million on fish.
Boy these prices are so not the prices in my area. It’s like 10x more for each kind of goldfish I saw. I wish they were these prices still. Love this video btw. Agreed that people tend to be really uneducated about these poor goldfish. I used to be one of them. Won my first one at a fair. That’s what started me in the hobby 30 years ago.
Great info! Thank you for this video. We saved one from our local festival/carnival. A girl won it for a prize and was trying to get rid of it, I had a feeling she was just going to dump it in the trash so here I am… lol wish me luck
I took in 4 commom goldfish from a pond,(helping friend) they are now 7-8inches (I think) in 30gallon tank. Was gonna give them to a petshop that has a pond. I don't know when I should it though.
Thank you for making a video about the common goldfish. I have two ( a common and a comet in a 45 gallon) I would love to have a pond but currently that is not in the cards. I have two filters, change out 4 buckets of water weekly and try not to use too many chemicals. I am still learning. Even with all of this, I have lost 2 fancies and one common in the past 2 yrs. ( no, I didn’t have the fancies with the common ) fish keeping is definitely a hobby.
Omg I never saw a tank that clean 😊
This video gave no information on how to care for a goldfish. But I appreciate the information on tank size.
Also won a goldfish at a fair. Didnt know they had goldfish or wouldnt have played the game but when I won one, I took it thinking I would give it a better life. RSPCA advice suggested 60 litres per fish so Ive ordered a 150 litre tank so it can have a companion as Im also concerned about depression. But now I keep hearing 150 litres isnt enough. Contemplating trying to put a pond in the garden. Its not like I can take her back so Im trying hard to do whats best for her. I was on a fish forum and was told to rehome her because I was only getting a 150 litre tank based on the RSPCA advice. Exhausted trying to work out what to do for the best. Thanks for the video and not shaming people who are trying their hardest.
If you only have 1, the tank you have will be okay for awhile, but they can get up to a foot long. So for three long term, you would need something twice that size or get a pond, way cheaper per litre and you could have quite a few goldfish in one.
My son is set on getting a goldfish. I'm so glad we watched your video because now we know the common gold fish won't work in his newly set up 5 gallon tank. His question to you is: Is there a goldfish that would work in his small tank?
Great great video. The common goldfish is exactly what I need for my outdoor pond.
Looking forward to having them grow to 12 inches.
I won a fair common gold fish and she survived through a bush concert. I am upgrading from a 10 gallon tank soon. Every week the tank gets cloudy even with a 30 gallon filter. My mother in law is giving me a 55 gallon.
This is what I have, I've had them 2 yrs & I didn't buy from a
pet store I got them from a BAIT STORE, & now they need a
bigger tank, I have 9 of them in a 110 gal rubber stock tank.
Their super cool fish, but they are a HEAVY waste producer
I made my own filter for these fish & I SAVE the waste water
every other week I squirt some waste water under the sub
of other plants I have in other tanks, & it is a 👍 for plant's.
How do I make sure a common goldfish has its maximum potential for large growth, because I don’t want to hold them back. Some people say 200 gallons, some say 300 gallons or 150 gallons. Just for one, how much gallons for one to grow to their regular carp size?
About 5 years ago my kids got goldfish from the fair , they were small , currently they are in a 60 gallon tank and im ready to build a pond this summer! They are very large. I also have 2 fancy Goldfish in a 35 gallon , i then have a 20 gallon with 3 small feeder goldfish . My kids enjoy them and they help clean the tanks weekly . I am being gifted a large koi who will also go to my pond.
Bought a tiny goldfish from Walmart, grew slowly to about 5" very lovely and vibrant looking, gave to a friend to keep in a pond, but racoon eat Wally oh well.
Lovely video, beautiful information. Thank you. As a PetSmart pet care associate, I can attest to pet parents ending up looking at comets just trying to get a simple, easy, cheap fish. And yes, many people do not know much about keeping them properly, and I think it's largely due to the familiar image of keeping a goldfish in a fish bowl that we all grew up seeing. I'm here to educate myself more so I can pass on good information to pet parents and screen and advise better for prospective homes. A lot of people ask me how fast they grow to see how long they can get away with a smaller setup, so what would you advise there?
Thank you for sharing your info, it is very helpful! ❤
120 gallon tank five goldfish heavily planted I love them so much
I had to subscribe because you are defo my kind of human. Thanks so much for the info. Although I'm no beginner (I've kept goldfish but am way more a betta person), there is always more to know. Sadly, I will be reinvesting in a new 55 gallon b/c I didn't think I would need another...until I met Terry the Goldfish at Petsmart :)
Your awesome im up to 20 tanks mostly big tanks mostly planted. Thank you for all your help I stay up at night watching your videos lol
I’m not new to fish keeping I have eight tanks of beta fish. I have a goldfish tank of two goldfish. I don’t remember what you call them to type when they have the growth on her head and they 45 gallon tank anything that would help keep them alive or happier faster, remove the pebbles to pond rock so they couldn’t swallow them. We get stuck in the gills high functioning filter for the ammonia levels.
I have two common gold fish that are both 8yrs old and yes they grow huge. They started out in a 10 gallon then a 30 and now a 75 gallon. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need to upgrade my 75 pretty soon. I do agree a pond outside is most suitable and probably will be the next best step.
Yippee so glad I found you!!!
Wow, you really told me everything that I needed to know. Good video. Dang, I have 3 goldfish and the tank is only 5 gallons.
My kids won two gold fish at the fair. One died first week, second fish is over 6 months thriving on a 5 gallon tank! I did not think he was going to live so long.
We not only love the same things but we look alike 😂 what’s good long lost brother
Bought 4 last year on Father’s Day. Got some water from the take they came out of at petco. Let them chill over night while the tank got set up. From 1 inch to no now the biggest one 6 inches. Only issue now I have to get a bigger tank. Inly changed twice. It’s easy the main thing is the water get some and if they die keep the water let it keep filtering and rotating for a day or 2. They go get water ever fish. Guarantee they live. Plus I got a good filter water clean like drinking looking. Yes though the is the first thing we think damn I don’t want to buy a fish and die next day. Just have to make sure your tank filter is cleaned monthly. Go outside wash the junk then put back in. Change new ones every other night.
I rescued a red eared slider that was outside with nothing but black sludge for a year. We noticed as soon as we got home there were 6 teeny tiny fish that were being used as food but my turtle was so stressed shed just nibble on them. Now i have her in a 150 gallon with the 6 fish she doesnt bother them, and the fish are growing planning a pond once i get the space
Hey brother really appreciate this video. Unfortunately I am of these buttheads who had no idea on how large these fish get. My daughter won 3! Not 1, but 3 at a local fair. Luckily my father has a 125 gallon tank that he doesn’t want anymore. He also has a fluval fx5 filter that he wants to give me. Would this suffice to keep these fish happy? My daughter loves them to death and honestly I’ve gotten somewhat attached lol! Just curious on how I can keep them while at the same time providing a good home for them.
Thanks for this info I really never knew and just made my research after I bought this two guys, common goldfish from a lady after seeing them cramped on a pet shop aquarium from school..dang
Thanks 😊 i have 4goldfish i just I love them so much we just made them a pond outside about a week ago they are loving it!!!
Bought some baby Goldfish feeders for my Jack dempsey, wife felt bad and wanted to keep 2 of em. Been over a year now, they are thriving and about 3 inches now. Seem to grow slowly which is good because all I have for them is a 20H
I've had mine since this summer and they're over 8 inches. Big bois. Love them tho. They're like little water dogs
I love Goldfish! I first started with a bowl ( I know, dumbest decision ever, but the guy at the pet section of Walmart said it'll be fiiiiiiine...... totally not fine!). Then moved to a 10 gallon --> 20 gallon --> 55 gallon --> 75 gallon. Over the years I've lost quite a few fish cause I was a dumby but now I have 1 goldfish in a 75 gallon tank by herself. Her name is Clarissa and she is huge! If I could kick my past self I'd do so a billion times. I also have a parrot cichlid tropical tank.
I do 80% water changes or close to that. every 2 weeks or so. The more water changed out the better in my experience. Just make sure it's the same temperature. I have two 75 gallon HOB filters and 2 sponge filters in my 75 gallon.
Im here from my local fair lol appreciate the knowledge
I bought my walmart's last goldfish they sold 4 years ago. I've been looking for the specific type and I'm realizing it's a comet goldfish. The fish is thriving but it's currently in a 40 gallon tank by it's self. I'm hoping to move the fish to a bigger tank but it's not fully grown. I had to leave it at my mom's house and the dude is probably 6 inches long now and was in a 20 gallon tank.
I got one as a gift 3 months ago and he or it has grown faster than all the fish in the tank and it eats all the pellets from the corridor catfish sometimes I have to tap the glass so they can eat
There super easy. Don’t play aquarium doctor. Simply keep a filter running let the aquarium have natural room light. Put regular tap water with fish start. Only top up the tank from Evaporation every 2 weeks and do Normal things like change the filter floss and cleaning. Fish will do great
I got 4 of them in a 10 gall and I can't get nothing better rn
Hello, hope you're doing well! Thank you so much for the video! I have a goldfish with two really long tails, he's probably around 5 or 6 in Long. I've had him for around 12 years. I was thinking about getting another fish, do you think that's a good idea at this point? The tank I'm using now is only around Thirty gallons, it's like one of those BioCube things, he's been in it for years. On the top of his head he's had these cauliflower looking growths, I've had them removed surgically on two separate occasions, and may be ready for his 3rd.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Should call them Pondfish, I live in Tasmania so I can't raise Koi (outlawed) actually now a big lover of them now, like little dogs that come up to feed in the spring and summer.
Have one in my SA cichlid tank, funny seeing pike cichlid or Texas cichlid all serious then a big orange goldfish 😂
Here because we “won” one at the fair and named him Heinz. I’ve kept betas my whole life and briefly kept a single Silver Cichlid (it was a rescue), but this my first gold fish in my adult life 😅
Your video helped out a lot, these goldfish were given to me an I find them to big, so I will check out the pet stores an fingers crossed they take them,, they really like to eat the snails
I have a lovely goldfish I have had her for four years not sure what kind she is but she has not grown too big she is very friendly
Hey random, but my 7 year old bought 3 common goldfish yesterday. There just babies and we have temporarily in a 1/2 gallon until the 40 gallon tank is finished it's 48 hour run. But will 40g tank be enough once they're grown? Or should I start looking for a bigger one?
Owner: returns common goldfish
-3 days later-
The goldfish: look at that turtle!
Your right the common gf is a pain in the but to raise them correctly. Your cool man I've been raising them for years and they take alot of cleaning
Im new to the hobby, but i have watched and read alot......one of the things that confused me early on is why these fish are not liked more. They live along time, they look cook to me, and they get big so you would think people would like them.
I am slowly becoming fish obsessed 😅 I have bettas, white cloud minnows, cherry shrimp, and I have pumpkin shrimp coming soon to 😅 I don't have goldfish yet, but there's 2 at the pet store I work at that I really want. One has a Mohawk, and the other looks like a little koi 🥰 they're adorable. I have partially planted tanks, partially artificial, and I was looking at getting a 60gal, I just need to figure out where to put it because I'm top floor in an old apartment building. I have a 5 and 10 gal common my way so I can upgrade my mean betta out of the isolation tank lol I had my second betta in there for a week or so (with regular water changes) with medicine to cure the mild fin rot he's got. He's doing great with all his little buddies, while the mean pretty one is by himself lol
Thanks for the props and the information.
PS. Im going to join your goldfish Facebook group.
My parents bought us one and he is still living , he has been with us for 7 years and he is large. We had to buy him a 75 gallon cause he got big, we could have bought him a bigger but they are expensive.
Wanting to put me some goldfish outside and some pots and I’m needing to know if I can put them in a number three wash tub it’s aluminum I think they’re made out of because I can’t find any cast-iron
Thank you friend!
I love my gold fish!
We made the mistake of buying goldfish for pond but because of small pond size have to bring inside,only got 36 gallon tank for 9 oh boy did not have a clue. Now have a huge issue they are about 3-4 inches after one summer have 2 filters and have to do constant water changes. Can't keep up.😢
Would be awesome to have a video on which get the largest (I assume Comet) and best ways to get them bigger without making them unhealthy as well as breeding strategies (temperature, breeding mops ect) and at what temperature you might need to slow or stop feeding them.
Can I release the fish into my local pond?
I keep my Goldfish in a IBC tank
They are having a good time in there
Dang I just got two yesterday from the freaking strawberry festival I won them I thought let me look up this fish.im listening to you thinking oh crap
Lmfao, my thoughts exactly 🤦♀️, I’ve had mine for a few days and now I’m too attached to them
Thinking about getting an 150 gallon rubbermaid stock tank. To turn it into an indoor pond. How many of these goldfish can fit in that safely even as they grow?
Gas stations here breed and sell them as live bait to fish with.
I'm researching a common GoldFish for my 20k Litter (~5'000 Gal) pond and I'm looking for a full case and feeding guide as well as information on hibernation as I'm in a country that hits -25*C (-13*F) every winter and seen -36*C (-32.8*F) for a day or so... Summers does hit around 40*C (100*F)... fishpond is around 1.5m (5ft) deep.
Would you know where I could find the information on this?
Goldfish Corner has great information about this on goldfish, but Lei has advised that the information does NOT apply to Common Goldfish.
I bought 9 baby comet goldfish not realizing how fast they grew or how much work they require to stay healthy...1 year later those babies are a foot long in a 75 gallon & I'm exhausted lol but i love them not sure what my next move is...
Someone gave me theirs from a fair winning a game. It did die but I bought the gold fish a friend and the goldfish is still going strong from PetSmart but they are not my favorite fish to care for. I don't have my own place to build a pond nor the room for a large 75+ gallon tank. :( Your videos are very helpful!
I just got two fancy goldfish!
You're part of the problem.
@@danm8004 wow, okay? I don’t see how exactly, but whatever makes you feel good 🤷🏻♀️
@@danm8004 Get over yourself. We eat animals, keeping 2 as pets is fine
I have four Orandas and I love them!
@@maximus9080 right? I love my fancy goldfish!
Your just a party pooper 😂😂 4:11
I have some in a 80 gal pond with a large filter but i also have smaller fish in there. Will they eat the smaller minnows and Danios i have in there as theh get bigger?
Because they grow faster than most fish in your tank can they be a tank boss
We are going to be the keepers of two common goldfish this afternoon, we are rescuing them from a neighbour who has had them for about two months now in a tank about 5L tops with only 10cm of water full with floating 'stones' that give light in the dark..
My son (16y/o) wants to start taking proper care of them so we are already searching for a large enough tank and all the information we can find on goldfish. We read they are sensative to change.
We read that a proper aquarium requires quite some time to be filled with enough bacteria to be a healthy environment, testing the water we also read about, but my question is, since they are currently held in such extreme conditions, what would you recommend on how we transition them (and when) to a larger tank?
The bigger the tank the longer it will take for the ammonia to be an issue, especially if you have very few fish to start. Hopefully you got it figured out! Ponds are probably best and are cheaper than an aquarium, especially a larger aquarium.
i just took on caring for a goldfish and moved him from a bowl to a 10g. He is about 6-8 months old and only an inch or so long. The 10g is PLENTY space FOR NOW. can i just size up as he grows??
I had fair fish as a kid , 50 years later I have moved house and decided to put a mini pond ( 20 gal tote ) in my yard with substrate plus 3 small fish and plenty of underwater and floating plants . A solar fountain and solar pump finish it off . I have given them pond sticks but they seem to prefer eating the plants ( that is why they are in there ) algae and mosquito larvae . They will not live for 20 years or more but their life with me is better than where they were . ps. I really don't like the modern deformed fish with giant heads or bodies and unable to swim normally .
thanks for the info, we have a pond waiting for some fish,do you sell any goldfish?
I have 4 goldfish that I got from the fair about a week ago, they’re eating well so I’m happy, but I just don’t know how long I can keep them. If I had my own house I would get them a giant pond but I’m a teenager soooo 😭 I’m thinking if I can’t keep them long term, I could either give them to my friend who’s also a fish keeper or my lfs
Hi I had a question?
Do Gold fish 🐟 need room on the surface of there fish tank to get air?
Well said! ❤
I have mine in a 20 gallon bin with a sponge filter. He’s fine.
Hey I have common goldfish and I got them in colors that suit there name and they turned orange but I have this one goldfish that is white with red eyes is it albino? Or how can I tell
The white fish with red eyes. Sounds like the devil..😄
Great vid!
I love you. I want a fish but I wanted to make sure I did it right, and your videos are fucking awesome. Subscribed and I will join your facebook group! Thank you so much for the help
Hi, I have no Idea what kind of goldfish we have... a neighbor we didn't know very well had to leave her apartment and just dropped the fish at our house... I hate fish, I can't stand them as an animal tht can touch me or as a food, but my husband and son gave me those puppy face and I gave in...
So, we have this oxygen machine which doesn't work, and we have food, a bed of tiny pebbles and that's it... 2 of the fish are very small and the ither 3 are just small. We already have them for about 6 months.
How can we take good care of them. Their tank is about 40cm on 30cm on let's say, 25cm ir more...
We have changed their waters about twice abd added some more now, after the water evaporated.

I had a fish tank for over 10 years until it was claimed in a house fire. just normal fresh water tank, no gold fish, it by it's self was a lot of work. I had fish that were their for the life of the tank. So when I hear people have a gold fish for only 3 or 4 year, it breaks my heart.
