A Mob O' Fancy Goldfish

[scout2010]

Thank you for posting! My guy is a little sleepy this late in the evening, and watching your lovely bunch dance is a good way to wind down. :)

[marykay91]

Where did you find the larger blue stones/large gravel for your substrate? I've read that regular-sized gravel is not good for goldfish, as they may accidentally swallow it/choke when pecking for food at the bottom. I've only seen black stones or natural colored stones out at the stores where I live. The blue is much prettier.

[Pop12646Okami]

I suggest not keeping common goldies w/ fancies, but if they're okay, then okay. :)

[TheGreatPickles]

Technically comets are "fancy" but you are right. You shouldn't keep long bodied with round bodied. I sold the comets.

[Pop12646Okami]

@TheGreatPickles Ahh... By the way, what happened to the comet with only half a tail?

[sammymunir]

@TheGreatPickles Comets aren't fancy's.

[Pop12646Okami]

I suggest n

[GoldenDurian]

What happened to the other half of that comet fish's tail?

[tvshowuploader7]

I love goldfish thank u jesus for goldfish

[rossmilne12]

nice fish i love black moors:)

[Nearman]

I got a comet and then I got a black moor and I intend on having more fancy goldfish. Would anyone know if it is better that I sepparate the comet from the fancy goldfish, since it steals all the food? is it life threatning for the fancy goldfish?

[julieannemichelle]

beautiful fish!!!!!!!

[BRISARELLY]

awww how cute

[stejeda20]

amazing video..excellent overall editing and background music lol

[MulticoloredOctopus5]

Stunning video quality!

And your fish are adorable!~

[CharmySi]

You have wonderful goldfish!! Congrats!! I love ur Tancho, but also the others. What is the name of the one who looks like a Comet but has a strange long tail- looks like a dogs tail.....i also love your music you have chosen. what about saint saens "Aquarium"?

[CrunchyLove15]

how big is your tank? how many fish do you have in there? beautiful fish by the way, I have a red cap oranda, red and white oranda, and a black moor

[Hectortuba155817]

[TheGreatPickles]

Yup. :D

[yutinglee1]

[Kirsteeen14]

this is exactly the sort of tank i aim to have someday :)

[azza910able]

[MrRawrllyX]

They look so healthy how long have you had them for? Are they all still alive

[Bkreuder]

Lol, beautiful fish :)

at 0:37, the rec cap oranda starts looking like "Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod..." and runs off to panic to other fishies. lol.

[Dustinsfishtanks]

They have the best personalities of any freshwater fish... I like the ryukins and the blue gravel works suprisingly well. Good vidoe

[pietro1975r]

che carini questi pesciolini, questi sono video meagnifici da vedere, altro che quei pazzi psicopatici con pirhana e topi

[FaixDxFlowright]

Your Ryukin is sooo adorable, I can't get over it, haha. I have two already, (Both calico) but this video makes me want a red and white every time I see it.

[Sexy50FiftyBoi]

Love the tank, so clean, and I like the scene at 30 seconds - 40 hehe :) Check out my goldies in their new tank when you have the time :).

[summonthemuse]

Aww...they're all so cute! I think goldfishes are the cutest/funniest fish around!

[Barret50calpro]

could you make a new vidio to see how big they are now

nice fish and tank love the black moor it is 4 inches long.

[DiamondFalcon10]

Thats a really interesting tank design twist with the underwater waterlily, I like it! :D

your fish are super cute too ^_^

(omg harry potter theme xD)

[Gaby3898]

mitch sucks

[TheDevinbho]

what happened to minch's tail

[Maylene456124]

Love it! I love the fishies! They are all so cute! They seem very happy! ^-^

[stephster575]

Wonderful job! You take amazing care of your beautiful fish! =D

[GeritWag]

hmmm general george inspired me to name my new Ryukin...

*dramatic music*

Seargent SwivelTail!

[TheGreatPickles]

:D Love it!

[elasticxplastic]

OMG your redcap looks EXACTLY like mine!! Wow! Amazing! I have a vid of her up somewhere. I guess there's some slight differences, like her dorsal fin is a little taller, but I'd say if Wynona were to have a twin, it would be your red cap.

[itscutieme05]

How do you do your video effects? It is like watching a professional movie commercial, please give me some tips or what software u use? Thanks, nice fish!

[TheGreatPickles]

I edit all my videos on iMovie.

[TheAquaSpecialist]

I got a mac!

Lucky XD

[TheGreatPickles]

O_O Slow down there! A ten gallon is BARE minimum for one fancy (egg shaped) goldfish.

[Fresishedn]

i have a 70 gallon tank with 6 gold fish 4 tetras i dont know what kind and 1 iredescent shark is that over crowded? if so how much fish should i have?

[avelspuppy101]

Very cool tank! And very cute fishys!!!! Awesome video! I am getting my first fantail goldfish today! I can't wait! do you have any advice?

Thanks,

Klaire:)

[TheGreatPickles]

Just to make sure that your tank is big enough for how many you choose and have fun! :D

[princessjo86]

SUPERB!

[arenare23]

i like the fancy goldfish i also have 6 of them in a tank

[invisiblerobotfish09]

Aww, the adorable fishlins. This is such a great video of them! Good old Minch...

[TheGreatPickles]

^^Didn't see the video yet! I feed them Emerald Entree and an occasional meaty treat. FAT spoiled fishies...I am still waiting for a change for a 75 gallon.....:( Have to move out of my parent's first...

[blaine200]

so cute! i just got a 29 gallon tank, and idk what im going to stock it with. i want comet goldfish but i've read those guys can get to be 14 inches maybe i should get fancy goldfish like yours. idk yet. lol im a begginer with a large tank so hopefully i will be able to created a healthy tank for my fish to live in. its going to be alot harder than my 2 bettas i currently have.

[TheGreatPickles]

If you're getting a 29 gallon, it would be best to have two fancy goldfish at most. Commons, comets, and shubunkins really can exceed 14 inches! Fancy goldfish such as orandas, moors, ryukins, ranchus, and so on reach from 8-10 inches.

[TheGreatPickles]

Oh! And also, don't worry about hard maintenance. If you cycle properly and do research on what you plan on keeping, you should do great! The larger the tank, the easier to care for. It requires less maintenance and there is more room for chemical error. If you decide to keep goldfish in your tank, (which are FABULOUS for beginners because they don't require heating and are generally very hardy) I promise they will be a source of joy.

[NINTENDOAMB]

id say comet because fancy goldfish like lionheads can get swim bladder of need certain foods like sink pellets, idk just my opinion

[keegee1012]

I like the black moor! Its as cute as mine!

=3

[ILuvbulldogz]

your fish are very cute :)

[firebelliedfreak]

i love the gold fish with the retarded fin

[khristsoowamber]

very beautiful fishes,i like them

[vancouverkiz]

hehehehe so cute, I like how you made it a movie, and the music is perfect for it :0) I just posted my tiny fish tank, please have a look

[TheGreatPickles]

Thanks for watching!

[Fortetennis]

i love ur tank and ur fish. How many gallons is the tank?

[TheGreatPickles]

Just 30!

[angelsweet452957]

This is one of my favorite videos.

[TheGreatPickles]

^^Thank you! Mine too...they were SO little! AWW.

[smileluc]

how big is your tank

[TheGreatPickles]

A measly 30 gallons. It has to do for the moment!

[x3melissa3705]

You fish look great! I'm glad to see someone take such good care of goldfish they are often kinda abused. I can't wait to get my goldfish tank complete. YOu should check out my freshwater tank. =-]

[rebeccabec]

Its a huge pond, it's a large rectangle, we dug into the dround with about a foot out of the air. Its about 1500 gallens or something like that, I worked it out a while ago and i think we can hold around 30 goldfish but were fine with thr 15 :P. Not sure if the calculations are right...

[TheGreatPickles]

Awesome!

[rebeccabec]

actually that might have been liters not gallens, :S it was a while ago so the details are foggy :) but anyways, i subscribed so i can see the next one XD :P

[rebeccabec]

Very nice editing! Whats the font you used called? And the music? I loved this vid!

[TheGreatPickles]

The font is called "dilate" and the music is first a segment from a piece in the third harry potter, the second is the tetris piano concerto from overclocked remix. ^^ I love those guys.

[rebeccabec]

nice! The "tetris piano concerto from overclocked remix" is a mouthfull! lol, so when is the next vid of the goldies?? :P I have about 18 common goldfish in a pond, so i cant video them, it would be too boring for people to watch.

[TheGreatPickles]

Soon! I redecorated their tank this weekend!

[TheGreatPickles]

They've grown a TON!

[TheGreatPickles]

and....how many gallons is said pond??

[PakDaeHan]

what happened that fish's tail you idiot!

[TheGreatPickles]

Now, now...let's not fall to name calling, children. Minch is three and a half years old-the first week I had her she had a severe case of fin rot; I treated her and as her fins grew back, they grew together into one instead of two! I have no idea why they overlapped, but she has adapted and been swimming like so ever since, perfectly healthy otherwise!

[TheGreatPickles]

Bringing home a fish from a grossly over croweded pet store "feeder" tank (as I did) merits those sort of risks.

[flower8750]

Very nice tank. All your fish are beautiful.

[GogglesKittah]

Great stuff! Hahaha.

[TheGreatPickles]

^^ Thanks muchly!

[Maddrums19]

i like the editing lol

good job

[chriscampyishere]

nice tank!!

[kirkx5m]

love the variety, i think have every fish you've got in your tank! awesome A+++

[wplus8453]

nice work,and nice fish.

[Muschg]

Cheers, very nice! Beautifully set up, lovely soundtrack and I dig the names you gave your fish! You can tell that you really love them!

[SCOTTISHtiliDie92]

whys one of the goldfish got half a tail ??

[wychic]

Yay, it's so refreshing to see someone who knows that they're doing with goldies (as far as getting them into a 100G, poor guys are crowded!), very nice, I too am partial to ryukins and have a red/white breeding trio as well as a couple of comets and demekins with a total of 450 gallons amongst my tanks, three of the smaller tanks are for fry.

[darneir]

i cant get enough of those guys their so inspiring well them and this video. once again great job... HA i just thought of another new goldfish name " pupis" sounds like the name of a planet or somthing lol

[TheGreatPickles]

XD Dunno about a planet....Sounds more like a body or plant part!

[TheGreatPickles]

"The eager botanist awaiting the blooming of the pupis, a rare, annual event!"

[darneir]

Im not very creative with my fish names. their usualy Marshmellow or chubs or Mr.fishy

[cambria2113]

That is great! I loved it! 2 Questions is your comet goldfish 'handicapped'? And did you name a fish plate? lol

[TheGreatPickles]

I think of Minch as...Disfigured. She is three and a half years old-the first week I had her she had a severe case of fin rot; I treated her and the fins grew together into one instead of two! I have no idea why they overlapped, but she has adapted and been swimming like so ever since, perfectly healthy otherwise! She can beat the fancies to food any time!

[TheGreatPickles]

As to Question number 2, hehe, no, his name is Plato, as in the greek philosopher who believed in Atlantis.

[cambria2113]

Ooh cool, Im glad she survived it! On the other one, lol I couldn't read the font on the video and it looked like it said plate hahaha :P

[darneir]

Music information please.

[TheGreatPickles]

The first piece is from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Secrets of the Castle (by John Williams, one of my favorite people of all time ^^) and the second is Tetris Piano Concerto in A minor (OC Remix) By Jeremy Robson.

[ellenm1]

very cute!

[darneir]

WHOA!! your a fish movie making GENIOUS. i love it. makes me want to set my tank back up.

[the42net1]

I found that as my goldfish grew, the extra decorations in the tank caused them to stress and get sick (ick), so now I have very little in mine. The best medication I found for this was Coppersafe (instead of all the antibiotics).

Best of luck with your fish! A mob o' fancy goldfish is fun!

[TheGreatPickles]

I understand that goldfish love their swimmin' space and furnished their tank sparsely. My other tanks are LOADED. As they grow, I shall likely change the decor accordingly! Thank you for the recommendation on the medicine, I shall have a look and comment!

[SpeedDennis]

Sweet !! Give them the space they need !!

[Agriel]

Really nice looking goldfish. How large is this tank? It looks to be a 30 gallon. When they get older, they will need at least a 55 gallon. Those comets can grow up to 14 inches long, and the fancies can get to 8 inches each. :0 !

Interesting--the one comet with only one piece of his/her tail.

[TheGreatPickles]

Sadly, it is only a 30. When I move out of my parents' house, I shall get them at least 100 gallons. The one with the odd tail is three and a half years old-the first week I had her she had a severe case of fin rot; I treated her and the fins grew together into one instead of two! I have no idea why they overlapped, but she has adapted and been swimming like so ever since, perfectly healthy otherwise!

[Agriel]

That's a good plan. :) It sounds like you know what you're doing.

Wow, that's an interesting story. Strange how easily they can adapt. The fish is intriguing to look at.

Which are your favorites--comets or fancies? I have comets as well, but they live in a pond outside. Right now they are enduring some 14 degree F weather, but they do well with it. They are about 4 inches long not counting their tails now.

My favorite fancy fish are orandas. They just look so silly with their red hats.

[TheGreatPickles]

My first fish EVER (ten years ago) was a Ryukin goldfish named Jabba that I kept in a two gallon cube that I had won. He lived in that tank until he was as big as it was and I bought him a ten gallon with all the money I could possibly save up at the time. He died about a year and a half old, most likely due to ammonia poisoning (I had NO idea at the time!)

[TheGreatPickles]

I just started keeping goldfish again when I purchased Minch the comet. But, to answer directly, I really love fancies. They are hilarious and lovable in motion. My favorites are ryukins and black moors. Not to say that comets aren't beautiful!

[gardenwife]

I miss keeping fancy goldfish. They were just too hard to keep healthy, even in our 55g tank...all the water changes and such. Our goldfish do great in our ornamental pond, but inside was difficult. Yours are gorgeous!

[modulo6830]

nice video, nice goldfishes and u ve a v beautiful decorations too. cute red cap oranda. will get some n add to my tank too. how nice is that each one got a name :)

[mojer21]

very nice goldfish and video presentation! what software did u use to make the video?

[TheGreatPickles]

iMovie.

[eddiezbro]

thanks, your goldhish is pretty. nice fishtank too.
