I remember a long time ago, sometimes when I am bored I stick some fish food on my fingers then I'd let the fish come and nibble them off. The biggest and oldest of all my fish, Golby, was the one that would usually be first. He nibbles so hard! lol I miss my fish *sighs* RIP
This is really bad for their slime coat. The oils on your skin break it down. I have one that tries to swim into my hand every chance he get, but I don't let him.
I have a pretty large Oranda that I rescued when no one else wanted him, but now I am worried about how best to keep him happy! Do they like company? Should I get him a couple of little buddies or are they territorial?
He definitely thinks he is one of the family and loves all the attention he gets :) But I do struggle with keeping his water clean, it just ALWAYS seems cloudy no matter what I do!
nice, when i first saw that hand i was like "oh no another idiot with their master hand is going to do something stupid" but wow this is amazing good stuff
So sweet. <3 My oranda (a deep-bodied red and white) is also very trusting, altho I´ve never tried to do that. He also follows my hand and has no problem with being touched. My other one, (a more regular looking fantail, with a slight wen on top of her head) hates any attention. She doesn´t even like being looked at and hides if you look at her too long. The complete opposite of my red and white.
my sister has 2 goldfish, we got 1 from a game at the fair (surprisingly he has been living 2 years so far) and we got the other 1 like 4 months ago.... i dont really know goldfish breeds since my type fish i LOVE r bettas, but i was cleaning out the goldfish's tank (because my stupid sister overfed them) and the (i think it's a comet goldfish) came up to me and i pet him, and my mom walked over and was like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! you cant pet the fish! did you wash your hands before??
I have a baby oranda who loves human contact. I don't stroke him because of the precious slime they need to protect them from sharp objects. But he does love to nibble my little finger and swim into my hand.
Punch is super, super cool. I have a red cap Oranda that is totally enthralled with people and everything outside the tank. Hopefully he develops into a healthy, demanding cute little fatface like Punch! Punch is awesome. :D
This is why I miss having a fancy goldfish tank. They are highly social animals, so it's not very surprising that they desire touch. I remember how it was trying to clean a tank with three little goldfish that wanted to play ^_^
people thinking thhis is bad, just think that many fish scrap them selfs along the sand to scratch an to get small pests of them, this fish might just find his owner doing it for him is a lot more pleaseing :D
The habit punch displays seems to be a characteristic of the Oranda. They have very special needs. They are very unique in that they need a higher level of maintenance to keep the water and tank conditions in acceptable conditions. When you notice that the conditions are sub-par; it is too late For the well being of the fish . BUt yes - this breed seems to be especially skewed to curiousity and accepting - wanting human communication =
@eric2601 ya i put my finger in my tank and they come nibble them but they swim away when i try to touch there body but there only babies how can i make them feel ok so i can touch them?
actually there is no sound reason that you should not - there ase a lot of misconceptions regarding this issue. Trust me - I would do absolutely nothing in any way if - after great analysis and research - there could be the slightestr chance of damage or harm resulting from anything I would do to these fine specimans of nature's beauty
That's AMAZING and Adorable and just ajdskfl;akdfjfdkl; TOO CUTE! <3
That decides it! I'm gonna get a goldfish and an oranda at that! =]
I have a question though, how big of a tank should I get (i hear it's 20 gallons or something like that) and are they soicail or can I keep mine all by itself? =]
pUNCH STARTED WHEN HE WAS 6 WEEKS OLD GOING AFTER OUR FINGERS IN THE SOIL WHEN i WOULD WORK ON PLANTS. Older ones may be trying to get ur attention - stick out ur little finger and make a jesture - dont force it see what they do - also do you hand feed under the water?
@eric2601 No, I don't hand feed my goldfish. I might start though after seeing this if that's what you do, haha. I have a green spotted puffer in another tank that I hand feed shrimp to.
hand feeding serves a few purposes - it allows interaction, creating a calmer demeanor when you are doing work within the tank, allows feeding under the water surface lessoning the chances of overintake of air which is kown to cause issues, lets you identify early on those that may be lethargic or ill, and gives you an opportunity to closely examine the body for signs of infection disease or damage from fighting or makeing you aware of some rough place in the tank to repair.
I agree! Even though this is a very cute video, important slime is being removed from the fish. This slime is very important to these fragile fish. But, great video and beautiful Oranda. I have a few that look just like that one.
actually there is no sound reason that you should not - there ase a lot of misconceptions regarding this issue. Trust me - I would do absolutely nothing in any way if - after great analysis and research - there could be the slightestr chance of damage or harm resulting from anything I would do to these fine specimans of nature's beauty - if you wish more detail on this subjest and reasons why let me know
@eric2601 Punch is a great little guy. My oranda all love contact to different degrees, but none of them have gotten that cuddly.
You offered someone else more details on the safety of the slime coat when handling a fish. If you don't mind, I'd like that, too. It'd be nice if I could stop worrying about it.
hERE IS THE SKINNY OF THE ISSUE- the Ryukin are more prone to swim bladder issues - in part due to the way they are physically bred - The orandas put out a lot more waste when they get older - so you really have to curve the feeding -and have a propensity toward Wen issues - issues - overgrowth of the eyes etc - but I regard the Orandas as slightly more "durable" if you know what I mean - of course I have a slight bias to them as well LOL
It would be impossible to discern the problem with your Betta without some information related to iot s environmental quality, feeding, symptoms etc - and yes Punch has grown considerably. THe issue of his wen covering the eyes is starting to becoma=e a concern.
Usually I special order orandas from a special breeder - in the US. Bit in this case it was determined that I wanted one just as a peraonal pet - so he was purchased from Pet smart - one of the characteristics that determined his purchase was that he was an obvious alpha male - very aggressive - up front not scared of anything - although he has some cottony wool fungus on his tail - I quarantined him and treated for that and the rest was history
@eric2601 Were at? I'm from Texas and Orandas have always been my favorite :) I'm planning on getting a nice 50gal set up soon. do you have any recomindations?
Thanks Eric .. You are correct they are areas of new growth a day or two later they do disappear the reappear in diffrent places. Iv watched the white spots slowly release themselves from the wen. A bit like squeezing the white stuff out of a pimple, plus the wen dose seem like its getting bigger as new bubbles and wider cracks form on the wen.
Actually if it is specifically on the wen and the fish is less than, say, 5 years old, it is most likely old Wen skin cells being pushed out from between the cracks in the Wen- check to see if the white spots are attached to the wen surface or exuding as stringy masterial from in between the crevases in the wen - do not treat for this - it is normal from growth.
I have a problem .... no matter what i do my baby Oranda's keep getting white spot. I do the weekly water change, i've cleaned the filter, and have tried water remedy. nothing seems to work.
Actually if it is specifically on the wen and the fish is less than, say, 5 years old, it is most likely old Wen skin cells being pushed out from between the cracks in the Wen- Ick will show progression over other parts of the body quickly - as well - it was stated the condition is over a moneth now - the Goldiw qwould be covered in ick by now or dead from the Ick - this progression is to slow and speciofic to one body area
I am going to assume that your fish lived a long happy life after the color change. Negating disease; it is a known characteristic of orandas to have color changes; either in the body or though Wen Or both. There are a number of factors up that can cause this; genetics, environmental who can keep conditions, food changes who were dietary changes, nutrient deficiencies etc.
ahh this is like the cuttest thing I saw a fish doing... actully I thought that theydid nothing but swim and eat... I love gold fish.. mine died a couple years ago and since I have never got another one... now I have a baby and want to get one for him... what would be the perfect sice of fish tank so I can have a big goldfish?
The habit punch displays seems to be a characteristic of the Oranda. The minimum size tank for any hope of maintaining a goldfish is 28 gallons. They are who are Pronounced waste producers and have very special needs. They are very unique in that they need a higher level of maintenance to keep the water and tank conditions in acceptable conditions. When you notice that the conditions are sub-par; it is too late For the well being of the fish .
You know; that you have brought that up I'm starting to wonder as well lol - that would be certainly one way to control his sexual appetite with the other fish. when I speak to him who again I will bring it up in casual conversation.
send me a link to the video that you have of yours. one note; it is best that they do not feed from the whose surface as they tend to ingest more air then they should then causes difficulties . This is a special problem of this type of breed.
as well - he has particular spots on his body he likes - if you notice he comes out of my hand and turns around - we found he likes his left side petted more than his right -
fancy goldfish are prone to swim bladder problems. I shell frozen peas then feed. IT WORKS!! Also flakes are the WORST food ever for fancies. sinking soft pellets or gel food is best:)
ok not to be mean or anything but u r rubbing off the slime of your goldfish which they need to protect themselves from dieases but it is ok to gently pick them up nice fish anyway
any one who wants to pet their fish isnt to smart, fish are for enjoing and watching, their not dogs, if u pet them and they try to swim away that means they dont like it, eventally they will tho when you take a bit of their coat away, then theyle like being pet because u will be scraching off the paraciets. i know it looks cool but its not.
ok dude thats kool but just make sure u add a few drops of water conditioner after u pet him, fish in general have a slime coat thats protects them from bad bacteria lurking in the water, by petting ur goldfish u are removing this slime coat thus making him prone to disease
I see :) can you do this with beta?LOL.Probably wouldnt enjoy it as much*My goldfish had a problem with his swim bladder,so he's gone,just got a beta*
That is called Swim Bladder disease, there is a way to cure that, supposedly there is some kind of special food to cure it, you should have talked to a person who works at your local fish store itmediatlly after you noticed symptoms.
it is wonderful that your're doing that but try not to touch him so much

It is particularly prominant trait in the alpha males - although I have never experienced one that is so demanding and bonded

is it all alone? ;[

No - just for the week - he is in the breeder tank - which is smaller and we will be putting his mate in soon

Reminds me of the Ropefish I have. Everytime I clean the tank they want similar attention.

yours is pretty, but Punch is an oranda and yours is a fantail
both are fancy goldfish
vitaminaqua 2 years ago
actually Punch started being demanding at about 2 months of age - pestering us every time we moved plants or cleaned the tank
eric2601 2 years ago
send me a link to the video that you have of yours. one note; it is best that they do not feed from the whose surface as they tend to ingest more air then they should then causes difficulties . This is a special problem of this type of breed.

as well - he has particular spots on his body he likes - if you notice he comes out of my hand and turns around - we found he likes his left side petted more than his right -

LOL, thats so cute!! I we had a goldfish that looks almost identical he actually died yesterday =(... He had swim Bladder Disease/Malfunction
sadm1234 2 years ago
fancy goldfish are prone to swim bladder problems. I shell frozen peas then feed. IT WORKS!! Also flakes are the WORST food ever for fancies. sinking soft pellets or gel food is best:)

ok not to be mean or anything but u r rubbing off the slime of your goldfish which they need to protect themselves from dieases but it is ok to gently pick them up nice fish anyway

This is why Orandas are the coolest goldfish breed (in my opinion) besides the telescope eye.

PhilipEmm141414 3 years ago
It's ok yo pet your fish once in a while just not for too long. They can produce more.
cho0py 3 years ago
any one who wants to pet their fish isnt to smart, fish are for enjoing and watching, their not dogs, if u pet them and they try to swim away that means they dont like it, eventally they will tho when you take a bit of their coat away, then theyle like being pet because u will be scraching off the paraciets. i know it looks cool but its not.

xxsoundasleepxx 3 years ago
ok dude thats kool but just make sure u add a few drops of water conditioner after u pet him, fish in general have a slime coat thats protects them from bad bacteria lurking in the water, by petting ur goldfish u are removing this slime coat thus making him prone to disease

That's cute :) wonder if I can train mine to do that.There pretty sociable little guys.
amiterisu 3 years ago
A good way to train your fish to be like this is by hand feeding them, which means they eat from your hand.
NeoCortex34 3 years ago
I see :) can you do this with beta?LOL.Probably wouldnt enjoy it as much*My goldfish had a problem with his swim bladder,so he's gone,just got a beta*
amiterisu 3 years ago
That is called Swim Bladder disease, there is a way to cure that, supposedly there is some kind of special food to cure it, you should have talked to a person who works at your local fish store itmediatlly after you noticed symptoms.
