They're pretty but as a someone who also keeps goldfish, I can tell you that tank is over stocked. They don't have much room to swim and many of those are going to get bigger. It isn't a matter of having a great filter...You wouldn't keep that many catfish together would you? No, it isn't nice. And yes, the gulping for air at the surface means they are distressed and searching for more oxygen. The air gulping can cause them a lot of health problems...
the reason everyone says 10 gal per gold fish is cuz gold fish have no stomach which causes them to need to eat alot more, which makes them crap in the water creating more amonia than ur average fish. this is why theres an un written rule about 10 gal per goldfish. u can counter this with a very fast filter.
fuck you, are you on drugs or a fucking fish PETA?
I have been keeping goldfish for over 20 years, 1cm = 1 litre, so an adult fish, say 15cm only needs 15 litres, a 90L tank can easily keep 4 adult gold fish, provided you have 10x capacity filter (90L tank needs a 900L/hr filter) and air pump.
Eggfish, ryukins, hama nishikis, ranchus! Drool! Also, if you guys look to the far right of the video, you'll see a divider there, meaning the tank is bigger than it appears :)
i'm still conducting experiments on common (comet) and fancy goldfishes. 3 fancy goldfish (lion head, red cap orlanda and a ryukin) and 1 comet goldfish in a 55 aquarium with a 75g aquaclear and 3 fancy+1 Common goldfish in a less than 7 gallons BUCKET for more than half a year now. i do water change once every 2 weeks at the same time for both set up. results: the ones in the bucket is 2x if not 2.5X the size of the ones in the 55g set up and more colorful. so you tell me what they need?
this fishtank is only suitable for two of your biggest fish, three being generous. Your fish are constantly going to the surface of the water because they need OXYGEN. Do your fish a favour, give some away and only the ones you like the most.
Tell me if this is good, a 2 and a half gallon tank, 2 fake plants, a frog deco, (Decos are in 1 corner, so its not crowding) multicolored gravel, and some gravel that I took from a succesful (and still running) fishtank of mine, and an air stone, is that good?
I find it funny everyone is giving this guy crap about an overstocked tank. Have you not looked at the tank. Those fish are in excellent water! Its not cloudy, dirty, and that barebottom tank is clean enough to breed discus in. My guess would be lots of huge water changes. You can do a lot about an overstocked tank just by changing the water. I have kept over 40 large africans cichlids in a 75 with no issues.
I've got 23 goldfish in a 55g tank for more than a year. Everyone of them doubled or even tripled their sizes. The last time I changed their water was about half a year ago. They continue to grow and are happy and healthy. How do you suppose that's possible? People, don't believe that there's only one way to do something. Everything you've read on the internet over and over again is based on the experience of one aquarist whose experience is based on one particular tank or even specie.
@insomniac567 please read my comment again! apparently you missed something. i never said my fish are surviving. also, allow me to reiterate that there are more than one method to do something. it just so happened that i did not explain my method, due to a limitation on characters allowed by youtube, so please don't rush to assume my fish are living in poo poo water. again, i'd like to reiterate that "They continue to grow and are happy and healthy." did you miss that?
@ALNEAL i have a large piece of driftwood (i believe it's either the african or the malaysian driftwood, not too sure which, but it's the common one sold at your lfs) that is constantly leaching tannins into the aquarium. the tannins keep my tank around 5.5-6.0ph. the level of acidity speed up the process of breaking down the wastes. at this ph, the beneficial bacteria that consumes and contribute to the nitrification process thrive and becomes highly efficient......to be continued
@ALNEAL i check the ammonia, nitrite & nitrate level periodically, and they are always near zero level without ever fluctuating. i used 2 different brands of water test kits to cross-check each other. i have water lilies and floating pond plants. they are indeed more efficient than those delicate aquarium plants. every month, i clean and change out the filter. i only add water to the tank as the level drops. i only change the water every half a year for 2 reasons......to be continued.
the first reason is that after half a year, there simply aren't any more room for the processed solid waste to collect beneath the gravel. after all, solid waste don't just collect in the filter only. don't wash and clean the gravel, the beneficial bacteria population is stable. leave them alone, just siphon the water and debris below the gravel. i do an 80% change. the second reason is to maintain the ph above 5.5. anything lower, and the goldfish starts having ulcer. good luck, have fun.
Thank you for your reply some time ago. You are very knowledgable and are a real fish expert. Because of this, I would like to ask you another question. In all of the tanks that I have seen that have plants growing in them have been dirty and with a black layer of detritus on the upper surface. Because of this, they do not look healthy and cannot function for long with clogged pores. Even good mechanical filtration does not seem to overcome this problem. Continued...
The only solution that I am aware of is to have very few fish in the tank, but this would result in less nitrate being available for the plants to thrive on. Lots of plants will consume harmful nitrate (to the fish). So, what is the solution to this problem that I have seen in even fish dealers tanks? Thank you for your reply.
your eggfish goldfish are nice, haven't seen those in a LONG time, but i have to agree.....too many fish for such a small tank, even if it is 50 gallons...nice fish though!!!!!!!
wow, beautiful fish, pity about the cramped over stocked living conditions. these guys need 10-20 gallons per fish, there is no way on earth they have even half that in this tank. the gasping on the surface isnt a good sign either. poor fishies.
Shareen is right!!!! That tank is way too small. You need to do your homework... 1 inch(of fish) per gallon. Plus goldfish are known to produce more waste than other fish. If they all die... I told you so...
you guys are idiots... look at the right wall of the tank... its a divider... the tanks probably really large...
