I typically don’t even feed flakes but when I do, I always submerge them, if you have a hang on back filter especially, submerge them away from that filter. #fish #goldfish #flakes #aquarium
This only applies to you if you have multiple tanks to feed, I find its best to submerge flakes, and even some pellets, because otherwise they float at the top for a while. Just always be sure to not put wet hands back into the food bag. #fish #goldfish #aquarium
This Quiet Flow filter allows you to use the same submersible pump that runs the filter, to also drain the tank for a water change. Big thanks to Aqueon for sending me this filter, I currently use one on my snapping turtle tank, and thank you for sponsoring this video. #ad #aqueonambassador #aqueonpartner #quietflowinternalfilter #aqueon
If it returned this time, it means after I heal it again it could very well return again. He’s just a goldfish in poor health and I don’t know how much the guy has left in him. As long as he’s eating and swimming joyfully I’ll keep helping him out. #fish #mrclean #goldfish #dropsy
This tank will be enough for at least a couple weeks, until they start growing fast though I might need to open up a tank for them or hopefully add them to a tank with some smaller existing babies. #hybridgoldfish #teleranchu #goldfishunion #fish
It’s very common for black telescopes to lose that black color over time and become an orange goldfish. For some reason black tends to be an unstable color in goldfish long term, it likes to recede and fade away. #color #fish #goldfish
What happens when the power goes out? For many fish keepers this can be a death sentence to their hobby if they’re not prepared with battery pumps or generators, but with a full home generator, they’re perfectly safe. Now what happens if the propane runs out? Well if I don’t get a new propane delivery fast enough then yes all the fish do die. #fish #generator #electricity #outage #storm
Filter maintenance and water changes are crucial for long term water clarity, but sometimes the debris in the water causing it to be cloudy can be so small that it slips through the filter quite easily. This is where water clarifying agents like these AquaPacs can help. They bind up these smaller particles into larger conglomerates that are more easily pulled from the water by the filter. Big thanks to Aqueon for sending me these AquaPacs! #ad #fish #aquarium #aqueonpartner #aqueonambassador #aqueon #aquapacs
Definitely something in my water turning my goldfish gay but that’s okay I think I’m gonna get eggs out of this. If this is how crazy they are without a female, as soon as we get an eligible female in here I think they’ll go wild and hopefully have real spawning soon. Ideally I’d like to breed Donald with carrot, I like Donald streamline body a little more, it definitely results in better swimming and long term health. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #goldfishbreeding
I see so many viral videos and things like this that involve live goldfish as props. I don’t know why the go to prop animal is a goldfish. #fish #goldfish
Overall, the chemicals many people use on their hands can be harmful, so don’t use them or be sure to thoroughly wash them off if you plan on putting your hand in your aquarium, and also thoroughly rinse any soap off as well. As for touching fish, once or twice a week won’t hurt, a few times a day will. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu #tank #fishtank
Another advantage of a rock platform is that it should hold heat better, my last heat lamp broke, I gotta get a new one. Even though it all felt very sturdy and snug I feel like these guys will find a way to loosen it up. I’m going to buy some acrylic yarn for my guppies. I might take a few strands and tie it around these bricks to hold them together. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #turtle
I can’t believe I actually thought I’d be able to move 10 tones of gravel by hand like it’s mowing the lawn or something. 4 wheel barrows of movement later I was wheezing. #gravel #driveway #flood
I found out Mr. Clean first had severe dropsy on December 29th, and it’s now been almost 11 weeks since then and his overall condition has actually begun to improve. This is the longest I’ve had a goldfish successfully recover from dropsy with seamingly no long term side effects. Now I do still have his water salted, and I’m afraid to take the salt away, I think I’m gonna lower the salt added very slightly with every water change and see how he does. #fish #goldfish #mrclean #aquarium
There’s no shot they can hunt fish yet if they bite this weakly, no wonder they had a hard time with the earthworms. Guess I just gotta give them time to develop and get stronger. #snappers #snappingturtles #turtle
