20 Gallon Long Fancy Goldfish Tank

[DunEKOOL1987]

more filtration is a must with goldfish tank was fine for your two even another but lots of filtration for goldfish if you would of you would of had them longer there is know reason any goldfish with good to great care shouldn't live past 15 years goldfish keeping for 15 years and i have a shibunkis that is over 20

[2010UWG]

The orange one looks like elvis

[TheJalal15]

where did the other ones go? and i love how yours grew so big! im a newby and only had them for a few months but im hoping they grow fast :)

[emmasatterley]

Thats a black moor and a fancy goldfish:) x

[petluv6646]

i love your goldfish they were soo big!

[LuKemusic55]

This tank is not too small! The rule is 10 gallon's per goldfish is good enough for them. therefore if there's two in the tank....and its 20 gallons its fine! Dont mean to get technical but you can hardly say this is too small.

[JKulla85]

Just get rid of the rock at the bottom next time, it stores all the ammonia and it probably spiked. Check out my video kelly's goldfish my tank is a 20 gal long and they are doing fine, it's even overcrowded.

[happieeyore]

goldfish are supposed to live about 10 years 0_0

i know you said back off but the tank being too small was probably why they died. just saying.

[MrEsekaka]

who ever calls these fish fat r fags who cant see themselves in the mirror becuz they r too fat

[FishBirdFreak]

i love the moor. i just got a baby one a few weeks ago. i also got a white fantail and a bronze, very zen.

[hoss833]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your orange and white one its beautiful and looks like he has so much personality. The black was is pretty too

[Pokemonfan1314]

the black moor looks like a black tumor

[ElizabethDee16]

i have a black moor too and how long did it take for it to grow that big i have one black moor in a 10g and i bought him a week ago and he is only 1 or 2 inches how long does it take them to grow that big and any tips on making them grow faster would be nice

[mikeydude319]

@ElizabethDee16 if u want them to grow faster get a bigger tank i have a 55 with two filters and do regular water maintanance and keep it clean then in about a year it will be like 4-5 inches by then hope this helps and it's always not bad to have too much filtration the more the better =))))))))) i love goldfish i have 11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[multicobster]

They look like healthy fish ;)

[coolnerd25]

most black moor are egg shapped and fat already, once they start growing the get fatter and fatter, no matter the feeding habbits, lol.

[BakBro1945]

umm, how do u get it so clear?

[xhopkinslax9]

@BakBro1945 get a filter meant for a size tank bigger than what youve got

[BakBro1945]

@xhopkinslax9 hmm... my dad doesn't want me to, but ill save up for it.... would a 30-60 gallon be ok? o and btw i just got it tested, and he said im over feeding them, i only do it twice a day like the fish food told me to



[jazpyy]

Black Moore goldfish are difficult to look after, they get all sorts of problems.

[ncharrison]

is 16 big enough for 1 common goldfish?

[xbox360ishcool]

what are pellets?

[alicefourcatsxx]

nice fish and tank! that pleco youve got in there how old is he? coz i got a pleco last week and im realy hoping he doesnt outgrow my 12gallon tank coz i heard they grow realy big! the man in the shop said he shouldnt grow too big... also how long did it take for your pleco to eat? i feed mine pellets but he doesnt seem interested and my goldfish just eat it :P also did your pleco bully your goldfish? :B

[chrisgarelli]

Its overcrowded they need atleast 50 gallons because of how big they are

[Kitkat1039]

Nice tank :) What is it's height, length and width approx?

[thelegocrab]

NOOO be warned, don't ad plants, those are ryukins, savage beasts, will tear up anything

[lmorgan02]

@smbarletta fat = unhealthy why would you be jealous of unhealthy fish? (they died due to this probably) tank looks bigger than 20 gallons though?

[hobosrhere12]

Nice goldfish!!!!! R those ryukins??? I think u should put some plants in. :)

[hhazawat]

nice your black moor is the same size as mine =) giving it back to ma pet shop cuz its got too big for my tank =o

[ChedderHead42]

i used to have 3 fancy goldfish in my 20 gallon. i think putting the 3rd one in there was pushing it but they did fine. i put some black mystery snails in the tank cus of the algae build up and the guy at the store said it would be fine but a couple days after putting them in there i found empty snail shells. now i do my own research before i go to the pet store.

[notreallyfamous]

how do u get them 2 grow so big

[xhopkinslax9]

@notreallyfamous I pretty much just fed them. The whole overfeeding thing is a load of crap, some people give their fish like 2 pellets per day. Give them what you see they can eat in 2 minutes. Then a snack or two throughout the day doesnt hurt

[smbarletta]

How'd you get them to be so fat! (I'm so jealous)

I've had my fantail a year, I feed her as much as I can healthily. I give her 5 sinking pellets every 12 hours, presoaked and all. If I give her more than that she floats, but she wont get fat! (She was fatter when I bought her, I feel like I'm doing something wrong)

What did you feed yours?

[xhopkinslax9]

@smbarletta Normal Pellets to be honest. Sinking, of course.

DONT UNDERFEED THEM!

[2muchzen]

@smbarletta fantail or ryukin

[kreuztraeger]

I think the powerhead might have led to the goldfish stressing out - fancy goldfish don't swim well.

[nosyiam]

Can one black moor goldfish live thier entire life in a 10 gallon fish tank with a 20 gallon filter

[xhopkinslax9]

Yes, but thats boring as shit. lol. Get 2 black moors and put them in a 20 Long. or 2 smaller fish for a 10 gallon. 1 fish is never fun.

[CHki0]

Your fish look fine. However in a 20 Gallon Long you would have a healthier fish if you had just one.

[xhopkinslax9]

agreed.

[TheynnaJ]

Wow your Black Moor is sooo pretty.

[xhopkinslax9]

Yeah - 20 Gallon Longs are actually really great tanks since they BASICALLY are like 30 gallons (they are the same length, just 6 inches shorter), but most (MOST) fish dont swim at the very top to begin with and enjoy swimming distances instead

[igame97]

just tellin ya plecos get agressive at night and suck fishes scales and can even kill ur fish

[polevaulter6916]

how is it even living with them the ammonia levels are so high in my 29 gallon tank and i have only 2 small fantails

[kreuztraeger]

@polevaulter6916 - Did you cycle your aquarium? It takes about 10 weeks for an aquarium to fully cycle under best (warm) conditions and up to 3 months if your place is an icebox.

[xhopkinslax9]

@kreuztraeger No i didn't cycle the aquarium

[dan197dan197]

i have a 20 gallon just got it for £25.00 it is 31 icheslong is that the same as your's?

[MegaCharmeleon]

Oh shut the fuck up, people will ovbiously upgrade their tank once they see the Pleco growing, fish maniacs are just annoying now...

[roadkill5555556]

You are wrong. Most people who do shit like this just let their fish die early and don't give a shit about their needs because they follow made-up rules about the amount of gallons a fish needs based on how long the damn thing is or some stupid shit. Stop being a douche bag.

[MegaCharmeleon]

Fish used to be kept in bowls, the tank in this video is pure luxury compared to that, stop bitching you faggot, people can do what the fuck they want with their pets, and as I said before, goldfish can't feel pain.

[polevaulter6916]

you are a new kind of retarted

[TheHaHaHaHahaaaaaaaa]

do plecos have to havefilters

[hatstalker]

yes they need filterrs as they make waste like other fish

[metalaxe416]

I hope you feed your pleco algae tablets, otherwise he'll get hungry and start sucking the slime coat off your goldfish (happened to me)

[UkNoWiTWoRdGMaN]

was his tank cycled??

[cabincrewlover1]

they ave defo grown from your otha vids haha

[Doggieman1111]

wow, now all you need are some more things in the tank

[macvelo]

In my twenty long I have four feeders I won at festivals years ago and the two largest are about seven inches the other two are about 5 inches. What I do for the poop problem is I have an under gravel filter and a aqua clear 30. In my ten gallon I have 2 callico fan tails and 1 redcap oranda, I also had a small pleco in there two but he died (see comment on top of page), and I have on internal filter and one aqua clear twenty.

[xhopkinslax9]

what kind of internal filter?

[macvelo]

Whisper there cheap but they get the job done also petco sells 30 gallon aquariums for 30 bucks when they are on sale

[bloggerboi098]

how long can you keep goldies in a 20 gallon?

[xhopkinslax9]

sorry i just saw this. mine have been in a 20 gallon for about 6 months and theyll remain in there until i can find a cheap 30 gallon. If you only get 1 or 2 goldfish they can live their whole life in a 20 gallon, but make sure its a 20 long like i have instead of a 20 standard, which suck compare to thsese.

[roosterrocks]

would a 10 be ok for starting out?

[PurpleOrangesRock]

I recommend 20. it's easier to maintain and you can have more thanone goldfish :)

[laynegarza95]

yes a 10 gallon is good to start out with then when ur fish get bigger you'll probably have to buy a bigger tank unless u buy mollies or guppies just to name a few

[jsrcamp]

@roosterrocks yes and you can have more then 1 in the tank. My 3 year old daughter is starting out with a 10gallon with 4 comets gold fish. 2 lg and 2 small. and before anybody starts to tell me that it is to small, I asked the pets mart lady and she saif that it is FINE but that she suggested if I was to get any Bigger fish to up grad to a 15 or 20 galon. and i have a very strong filter on it.

[Clive2gee]

can u give me a idea on how big a redcap oranda can grow to?

[EveryonesQT]

very cute! I wanted a long one but I got the tall one cause it was the only one that would come in the set. your fish are a good size! Did they get any bigger since this video?

[xhopkinslax9]

thanksssss, and nah cuz this vid is like 1 week old, they grow so fast though i like thier size now but they SHIT so much

[Sp33dstix]

Feed them less and up your water changes.

It seems like your water is a little murky.

[xhopkinslax9]

no it truly isnt. I did however install the filter literally an hour before the video, and the new gravel was new as well, its top notch now, it was just cycling. good points though, thanks for concern

[Sp33dstix]

Another concern I have is the tank size, all of the fish you have in there are heavy polluters. If you don't already know this goldfish can get huge, sometimes even up to a foot. Plecos also get large often over a foot if food and space permits.

If you want all of your fish to have a long and happy life I would really suggest in getting a larger tank for all of them. If you think the crapping problem is huge now, just wait until they get larger.

[xhopkinslax9]

ooooh yeah my goldfish are both almost 7 inches now, im lookin intoa a 29 galloon since its like 4 - 5 inches taller and the same length cuz mine is a 20 long.

[macvelo]

I have a question about plecos I had one that I had for four months he seemed health then I got some new plants and he was fin for about a week and a half. I turn around and hes on the glass like plecos generally are I turn around again five minutes later and hes on his back in the gravel dead. What did I do wrong.

[xhopkinslax9]

you did nothing wrong. you cant even tell when plecos are sick becuase there arent typical symptoms like other fish. its not like they can be sick if theyre near the bottom of the tank on the floor cuz they always are. shit happens man. sorry

[FishingMaster20]

cool!
