[Wendyhasachannel]

My favorite part is hearing the other guy sing to Tom Petty.

[peaceroxxlol1818]

[peaceroxxlol1818]

For some reason this was the funniest vid ever. That guy actally LIFTED that thing and held it RIGHT TO THE CAMERA...

[Nikkerz232]

[dfernandez77]

@Nikkerz232

She was half that size when I got her from goldfishconnection

[Nikkerz232]

@dfernandez77 Ohhh, she is so beautiful

[THESKULL1979]

stop feeding your fish big macs and fries and try some fish flakes.

[MegaSalajka]

OMG! That's not a fish! It's Shrek taking a bath!!! Jokinkg aside, it really looks beautiful!

[MrNipperthegreat]

[Racingjunkey20]

[Candorsmayhem]

She's all like OMG WTF... oh whew, home again... OOOHHHH NOOOOO!!!!! Wait... safe again. If she could turn enough to be looking over one shoulder, she'd be doin' it. Paranoid like.

[Hotlips4000isback]

She's sexy and she knows it! :-)

[DragonFighter1133]

wow that fish is cute and big

[itqnguyen]

She's might not be the best shaped ranchu but I bet she is the most well known and watched ranchu on YouTube!!!!

[dfernandez77]

@itqnguyen Only 97 thousand views, and most watched? :D

[rayyanputra]

@dfernandez77 You said 'only'? Thats a lot of view bro..I think the view will increase more and more..cheers.. =)

[Mercedes56739]

You should get a bigger tank

[dfernandez77]

@Mercedes56739 You didn't read the description, did you? :D

[Razkali]

@Mercedes56739 Not sure if trolling or just stupid...

OT: She's so cute :3

[benemanoo]

This the cutest fish I have ever seen. It is like the Garfield of fish. Soso chubby^^

[devil208ilcapo]

The next time you take a cup to catch the big fish so did not get hurt :)

[dfernandez77]

@devil208ilcapo A cup would not be big enough to hold her.

[evilmakoto]

Too cute! Nice job man. Keep it up. Fish lovers up

[Shrubbs]

Haha wow! It's so large!

[FadBamsen11]

Beautiful. Reminds me of fat bastard (austin Powers) :D

[babekfar]

cute fat fishy

[GopherwoodExpress]

Very gorgeoys fish. Nice work. Is she still around?

[dfernandez77]

@GopherwoodExpress

Unfortunately she passed away after a move in June 2010. Too much stress and she was egg-bound at the time.

[taylor45ful]

@dfernandez77 if she was alive and took her to a vet it would go like this you:is she ok? vet:no she has diabetis.

[wencheflohaug]

@dfernandez77 It is very clear you took very good care of her,just one question did you feed your goldfishes vegtebuls?

(sorry for tappe errors but english is not my mother tunge)

[dfernandez77]

@wencheflohaug

Yes I fed them broccoli.

[wencheflohaug]

@dfernandez77 I have given cucomber to mine,how do you preper broccoly have heard some veggies you have to cook and cool it down while other veggies all you need is wash

[dfernandez77]

@wencheflohaug Yes, cook it and cool it for broccoli.

[hotmadras]

@dfernandez77 Sorry to hear she's passed on, but hey...what a stunning fish, you must have been very proud to her! Thanks for sharing

[DarkSkys25]

[LeafytheGreat]

[CherubHorse]

[pikapikarya]

[MrMsJsabat]

[Islandaholic]

Magnakarp, I choose you!

[TheRafita21]

[atvking04032]

[silvanakk]

[OrangematzAquariums]

[coltonslick]

lol the guy in the background singing made me laugh!

[thejapanesezombie]

Wow!!! What a beautiful ranchu! She's absolutely gorgeous! You must take such great care of your fish :) I wish more goldfish owners took as great care of them as you do!

[Osagie014]

GOOD JOB

[RachieMayz]

see, my fav. thing about big fishies is that they dun move so frickin fast, then you can get the tank cleaned faster :D

[ReptigloRand]

Woah!

[katinkakyara]

beautifull fish!!!!!

i wish everyone a verry good 2012!!!

[woof999]

Beautiful!!!



[SCRUBSiheart]

I had some before too, they became sooo big that I needed to put them in our pond. They lived there awhile until a freaking neighbours cat decided to eat them. I bought new ones today, I hope they become big too someday. :) Hey, btw, how often do you feed your fishies when they're small?

[Z3kedog]

And i wont back down. No I wont back down.

No wonder that fish got so big, it obviously loves your choice of music.

[PeaceOfTruth]

ooh she is so beautiful!

[Riddco]

Jeez it grew that large in a little 35 gallon tank? I have 10 2" fancy goldfish in a 75 gallon and if they all grew to that size ill need to invest in a monster tank for them! She sure is gorgeous

[OaktownsGreatest]

Man she is beautiful!

[AuroranLauriel]

A beautiful goldfish. How old is she?

[dfernandez77]

@AuroranLauriel

She was about 4 years old in that video.

[2105735]

@dfernandez77 wow. whenever i get a goldfish it only lasts for 2 weeks.

[wan2shuffle]

@2105735 let me guess you keep them in a bowl or a 10 gallon right?

[jstorly]

@2105735 You really need to do research before getting a fish.

[piaybackjunkie17]

@dfernandez77 Wow! I hope mine grows that big :)

[Redbull357]

where did you buy it? Its beautiful!

[dfernandez77]

@Redbull357 google for goldfishconnection

[giorgiog01]

[ad123468]

does a normal goldfish go that big?

[dfernandez77]

@ad123468

If you take care of it properly, why not?

[GroinStabbingPro]

@dfernandez77 Very nice goldfish man. Looks fantastic. What did you have to medicate for?

[ad123468]

@dfernandez77 THANKS

[GroinStabbingPro]

@ad123468 Even bigger!

[codge2112]

[royston742]

Really Beautiful Fish

[avietcong]

how long have u had tat fish?

[SuperGFMAN]

@free2rock85

Yeah you're an ignorant ass. There's a reason why Tinko grew to that size. Its because his owner knew how to take care of him. Learn to read moron.

[maxie706]

@free2rock85 hes right u r being a ass hole here the fish that size will love a tank that big

max thornton,10

[SmashingShinyRay]

Wow! So gentle with her.

[MrNinagi]

Congratulations is very beautiful! How did it growth to that size? Use special food or other? Thx for the answers :)

[deaumonicke00]

OMG IS IT PREGNAT IF SO U DEFENTLY NEED A BIGER TANK

[Francheska7778]

i had never seen a goldfish like that...she's so cute

[CreditR01]

Aww, she was beautiful! I'm sorry for your loss. : (

[TheLegend1245]

[jamalrw1986]

I Want 1 that size, I hope mine live long enough to get that biggg!

[SunniLuvsU]

What a cute little fattie :3333333333333333

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww*breath* wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[paintbrush0300]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww <3

[C172Pilotdude]

Is the fish still alive?

[dfernandez77]

@C172Pilotdude

Unfortunately she is not. I moved, then left the country for 3 weeks. Even with a fish sitter, the stress was too much and she died.

[FareezLovesMe]

@dfernandez77 Sorry for your lost. The same thing happened to my aunt. She had this big beautiful goldfish for years. She and her family went for a short holiday, and when they came back, goldie was dead. But I think in both cases, there's something good to be said - it's quite apparent that both Tinko and what's-its-name were very loved and very well-taken off. As an animal lover, I would like to thank you for being a good owner to Tinko.

[begonsatanhelloshamu]

She's beautiful :)

[bluesirenx]

Waaaah......... he so biggggggg!! hahahaha

[SuperPyro33]

OMG ! YOU LET A RANCHU EAT BANANA : 0

[ZanujAdonis]

OMG! i feelin like she really enjoyed the way you take care of her! WOW!

[zohwe0311]

BEAUTIFUL! WOOOOOW!

[RowtownTV]

tom petty.... nice! i wont back down..

[safranpollen]

this is the new fantastic red obama, the new president of the states. I gonna vote this guy:-)

[ZZgS]

aww its adorable how cooperative she is :)

[RafaMacRafa]

thats some fat fish!!

[Tonyb1rox]

Dont u need 2 put in a big bag and float her then put her in? or IS she a hardy fish

[kelzybub306]

How old is she?

[dfernandez77]

@kelzybub306

She was about 5 years old in that video.

[ChubbygrapesLPS]

havent you heard of a net? you could be damaging her scales!!!!

[dfernandez77]

@ChubbygrapesLPS

A gentle hand transfer is far less likely to cause damage to a large gold fish than a net might do.

[ChubbygrapesLPS]

@dfernandez77 oh sorry i didnt know, my goldfish wasnt as large as yours so i just used a net lol

[Steppen03]

@dfernandez77 If you can use your hand for picking up fish, then it is alot better for the fish.

[Dimunic]

@dfernandez77 that's too small even for a quarantine tank...

[dfernandez77]

@Dimunic

The quarantine tank is the 14 gallon blue container behind the little tank. The little tank was just to hold her while I changed out the water in the quarantine tank.

[Markk4785]

@dfernandez77

Depends on the state of the hands. It's never idealic to be handling fish unless absolutely essential.

[dfernandez77]

@Markk4785

Well of course.

[DarkHalmut]

@ChubbygrapesLPS Nets can be pretty harmful to a fish if they decide to squirm around. This move is fine. I've done moves in the past inside of a giant cup so the fish is never directly touched.

[ChubbygrapesLPS]

@DarkHalmut  oh

[DiegueteB]

@ChubbygrapesLPS Nets are more common scale trapts than a pair of carefull hands

[kauikeaolani96]

how old is she?

[manofice466]

@kauikeaolani96 5 years

[fstyle28]

LONG LIVE TINKO!

[maviakoilover]

Your aquarium its to very small for your ranchu you need to get big aquarium for you ranchu

[happieeyore]

@maviakoilover you're an idiot.

[Timespartan111]

@maviakoilover Dude read the description, its for medicating her shes in there for only 15 seconds a day

dumbass

[Mlegion1988]

Gorgeous fish! I just got a Gold Ranchu, I love her, I am in the middle of converting a 200 gallon tank to just Ranchu's.

[trojanshawaii]

how long did u have him, and wat size tank is he in

[liverleef]

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

[precisionairsoft10]

can some please tell me to find these fish fo 2 inches or lower please respond

[HorseRider36]

I'm about to get my first ranchu, very excited! I love your fishy :)

[GoldfishLoverTank]

I like bananas

[blueangel171717]

wow nicee i wish my goldfish was that size

[Mp3Theft]

I love how you suddenly decides to show her to the camera before putting her back.

It's like " NOOO!! put be back in the WATERRR!!"

[dfernandez77]

@Mp3Theft

Haha! Yah, it was a big "psych!"

[ilovewibo]

nicely done...looks like she is in good hands...literally!

[dfernandez77]

@iLubYooChu Don't get so excited. She's bigger now. :)

[Antnelson13]

beautiful! OMG! Love it! HOw old is she?

[dfernandez77]

@Antnelson13

About 5 years.

[mcaj29]

how big is your tank?

[brickstudios1000]

tinko is some big fish ! why hasn't its wen developed that much yet ?

[dfernandez77]

@brickstudios1000

I don't know. It's about the same thickness as when she was 4 inches long. But now she is over 9 inches.

[Hotlips4000isback]

Wow, she is HUGE! ;)

She looks lovely ;p!

[jrlee31]

is Tinko still alive? the vid was posted way back 2009..

[dfernandez77]

@jrlee31

Yes she is. And she is larger.

[game2heart]

That fish looks more like a lionhead than a ranchu

[dfernandez77]

@game2heart

She's very likely a Lionchu. She is Chinese born. Her shape and color has changed quite a bit in growing from 4 inches (when I got her in early 2008), to about 9.5 inches today.

[game2heart]

@dfernandez77 Wow that's incredible!

Could you post an update video on how she is right now?

[game2heart]

@dfernandez77 Nonetheless, its a really nice, big lionchu ^_^

[eurasianchica]

How big was she when you got her? And what do you feed her?

[dfernandez77]

@eurasianchica

She was about 4 inches long. She eats Saki-Hikari color enhancing goldfish food, broccolli, krill, and AquaDine.

[AirFrez23]

"your goldfish worth MORE......... than Gold!"

[matineeiseverything]

I just fall in love with your big fat ranchu!!!!! ^_^ <3<3

[dfernandez77]

@matineeiseverything

Oh thanks. She will be happy to know it.

[powerlogix]

@Joshua- I highly doubt your stats are correct at 15%.

[marshallspikebanana]

Looks delicious! When are you gonna eat it?

[dfernandez77]

@marshallspikebanana

When are you bringing the fry pan?
