Goldfish keeping is more than a hobby

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 10:55 PM PDT

I have loved fish my entire life. They are probably my top favorite animal to study, keep, observe in the wild, catch, eat (can I say that?) but I get the most joy from keeping goldfish. Keeping goldies is more than a hobby. Goldfish are pets. I have kept many types of fish and goldfish are different. They are so special. They are 100% domesticated meaning we don't have to steal them from the wild, they come in infitine colors and patterns, they are peaceful, social, friendly, they recognize their favorite people and they can even be trained to do simple tricks! I can only afford one fish tank and my fish of choice was goldfish. It gives me so much joy to watch my goldies swim around the tank together, nibble plants at the surface, follow each other, nom nom for food, and interact harmoniously. They are the fish I feel a real emotional attachment to and I think, unlike most fish, goldfish feel some attachment to their owners too.

What kind of goldfish is it? I wanted all Oranda but my mom insisted on getting that one... It looks too "normal" to be a Ryukin...Is it?

Whats causing this brown water?

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 10:37 PM PDT

https://imgur.com/a/k0msEIe. This is really annoying me. Never had this issue before. I've cleaned everything in the tank stones included, changed more water than I would have liked at least 50% but I can't get rid of this brown water. It's been like that for 2 weeks now and never settled. I tried using some anti green water additive but it made no difference, tried clear water additive same thing.

Recommendations on where to order goldfish?

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 09:40 PM PDT

I have my new tank all set up, so I'll be beginning the cycling process. I'm curious as to where everyone recommends ordering their goldfish from. I'm leaning towards King Koi and Goldfish, as I have a betta from them and am very pleased with the quality and health, but want to make sure I look into as many reputable options as possible before officially deciding. Bonus for anywhere that typically has a decent stock of tricolor orandas! I want to place my order as soon as my tank is finished cycling, so I figured now is a good time to research shops and breeders. Thanks in advance!

110gal stock tank all for 1 ryukin

Snails?

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 01:25 PM PDT

Hi! I have a 10 gallon with 2 goldfish (not my choice to keep them in such a small tank, I got them from a woman who wasn't taking care of them and I'm trying to keep them healthy). The brown algae buildup is pretty bad. I haven't gotten any big plants yet (just duckweed) but I'm going to soon. How many mystery snails do you think I can keep in the tank? Keep in mind these two fish are pretty dirty, haha.

Reliable Aqaurium brands?

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 02:01 PM PDT

Hello friends, a corner seal on our 12+ year, 55 gallon aquarium broke today and half the water spilled out. Luckily, as a family, we scooped every Common Goldfish and whatever water was left into a tub with their filter.

We are looking for a great and reliable 60–80 gal. tank (budget probably around $150). What brands to consider and what brands to stay away from and why? I was looking at some dollar per gallon Aqueons and the seals felt funny.. thanks!

Relocated my 4 goldfish to our 5000L pond today. Question about new found behaviour.

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 01:47 PM PDT

So, these guys were adopted/rescued by us about 2 months ago and they came in really bad conditions in a 54L tank. Their average size is 10cm and they're 3 common and 1 fancy. They had to stay in that tank waiting for the pond to be done, but I really upped their life quality by giving them regular water changes, adding salts and a more diverse diet. One of them even started regrowing his front fins (he came with severe fin damage).

They were added to our new pond this afternoon, and even though they were weary of the new environment, they were active right away - swimming, sifting through the sand, eating like glutons.

But later I noticed they would kinda, like, jump? Not all of them, only two. And they wouldn't get their whole body out of the water, only half of it. Is this normal? At first I though they were catching bugs, but then one of them jumped for no reason. From what I've heard, goldfish only jump when something is really wrong, but our water is fine. Is it because they suddenly have so much space to swim around they get excited? They never jumped when they were in the tank. It's probably fine but I'm their mama bear and I worry so much about them.

So yeah, is this behaviour normal? Do you guys with goldfish in ponds experience the same thing?

Fancy goldfish not doing well

Fancy goldfish not doing well

Hi, never really had any problems with any goldfish before, I had a fancy black moor that seemed to get some tumor few years into its life and died, but apart from that they've been very easy to keep.

There was x2 of these fancies in the fish shop and got 1. They both seemed to not be doing well in the tanks but the first one we got is still doing well and reacted well to being this tank. Day after, thought to get the second one because it really looked unwell and thought it might do better or at least have a better end of days here. 2 days later and the second one we got is upside down, I know swim bladder disorder can cause this but I just have no idea what is causing it. Tanks params are completely fine, about 5 baby cloud minnows have been thriving for a while in there as they grow before going in the big tank and the other gold fish seems to be doing great especially the state we got it in, just hoping there's something that can be done for this 2nd one?

Any thoughts? Thanks

First Time with Ich please help!

Posted: 17 Jul 2020 12:19 PM PDT

So I got a new ranchu last week and now he's showing signs of ich. I'll admit I've had 10+ goldfish and I've never dealt with ich before.

He's in a 10 gal quarantine rn with a heater upper to 82 and I've dosed the aquarium with salt when I first got him (2 tablespoons for 10gal).

Wondering what meds work the best (I live in Canada)?

Also any other tips greatly appreciated. How long does it take to get rid of Ich?

Noticed that one of my gold fish looked different today around the gills. It looks more reflective or patted down, anyone know what this might be the result of?
