I’ve never had a fish be so negatively affected by breeding. I get random fish spawning in my tanks on a weekly basis but never had it resulted in the death of one of the females but I guess there’s a first for everything. RIP Carrot, I’m sorry I didn’t notice this sooner to separate you, Donald and Joe don’t get bloodworms today. #RIPCARROT
#ad Now in the morning I check my stocks, socials, and my Carrot Cam. Huge thanks again to Panasonic for sending me these Homehawk window monitoring cameras, they make it so much easier to keep a close eye on my goldies. Let’s hope this batch of eggs makes it! #ad #Homehawk #Panasonic #aquarium #goldfish
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
Heres a step by step guide on giving your goelfish a bath. Methylene blue salt baths are my go to for prevention and treatment of a wide variety of goldfish diseases or problems. Please understand that I am not a vet, this is not veterinary advice, please do your own research. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #oranda #methyleneblue
I don’t have to suck any tubes to harvest it this way, it’s a lot easier and quicker and because not many eggs get in I just use one stage of the sieve #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu #brineshrimp
When there’s a lot of poop built up, even doing full 90% water changes doesn’t keep the water clean for long. The poops gotta be removed. #fish #goldfish #aquarium
Some people disagree with this method of bacteria seeding because it may temporarily increase ammonia levels due to waste introduction from the old filter, but with some ammonia detoxifying conditioner and a solid day for the sediment to cycle through I’ve found the tank gets established very quickly after doing this. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
Replying to @jhg Definitely don’t opt for the toilet, anything is better than that. burial is honestly the best method. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
Mr. Lobotomy cannot catch a break 💀. I leave these goldfish for one day and they literally start eating each other. Thank you to my employee Aaron for seeing this and giving a methylene blue salt bath right away. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #oranda #mrlobotomy
This could be a reason why I have a tough time growing plants, I think they don’t do well with super high iron but I’m not sure. I need to order an accurate iron testing kit to further investigate. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #iron #wellwater
This whole bucket made almost 2 trays of brine shrimp which is pretty good but runs out pretty quickly as these babies grow and their diet increases exponentially. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
This is the very first time some of the babies have been moved from their tank since they came into existence #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu #babygoldfish
We sprinkled in a little extra Joe this time! Lets hope for a successful hatching and grow out. At this stage and fry stage its so easy to accidentally lose them all. #fish #goldfish #aquarium #ranchu
