Education vs. Judgement

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 06:31 PM PDT

The other day, I decided it would be a great idea to get some goldfish. I had many (too many I now know) as a child, so I figured it would be a piece of cake. I planned to pop into Petsmart, grab a bowl, and bring home two new roommates. After a quick Google search, however, I read that goldfish should live 15-20 years and my mind was blown. Down the rabbit hole I went. I'm still going to get goldfish, but I need to buy a tank and cycle it first. I'm in the learning phase and I'm fascinated, mainly because of how wrong I was before.

So after doing some research, I decided to join this Reddit and read people's advice/about their experience, and I was really sad to see the culture here. There's a lot of judgement and a lot of nasty words in lieu of understanding and education. Goldfish are such a common pet and have been for decades, and people can't really be blamed for trusting media/their childhoods/every goldfish pop culture reference ever.

I can't imagine judgement and cruelty ever working to make a misguided person in this situation more receptive to change. I was lucky that I googled goldfish before going out to buy one, but most people don't see the need to; they've had goldfish/seen people with goldfish in bowls probably since they were children.

Anyway, all of this is to say that I understand that this is a niche community and that there's a lot of thought and care that goes into keeping goldfish, and this can lead to a lot of anger and frustration directed toward someone who is inadvertently hurting their pet. But I also understand why a person would have nooo idea what goldfish ownership entails. So I think we should all practice a little empathy and patience—it's more likely to save a fish than anger and vitriol is.

Water Change!

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 03:18 PM PDT

Posted on r/koi but nobody responded. My koi spawned yesterday and i noticed eggs in the pond plant so i put it in a tank and today iv noticed what i think are koi fry hatchlings but they only swim for a couple seconds and then attach to the glass or back to the plant. Is this normal?

Black Moor losing scales

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 07:29 PM PDT

I went to feed my goldfish tank tonight and noticed my black moor was lying at the bottom of the tank and appears to be missing scales. She was fine last night when I fed them. Any idea as to what can cause this and how to help her? I'm not sure about age as she was a rescue

Cut Lip

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 07:19 PM PDT

My goldfish seems to have a cut upper lip? He lives with a mystery snail in a 20 gallon, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 20 nitrates. I have melafix, will that help, or should I get aquarium salt?

Swim bladder

Posted: 03 Jun 2021 02:40 PM PDT

I've been trying for a couple weeks now of water changes, epsom salt baths, regular salt baths, fasting, feeding peas, raising the water temp, and nothing seems to be fixing my girls swim bladder. On a positive note, it's not getting really any worse but I'm scared because her dorsal fin had developed a white film which is a sign it could be rotting and idk what to do anymore to help her

Tank startup

Curious how everyone cycles their tanks. I've had great luck with a combination of pure ammonia and stability. Will get into the nitrate phase within 24 hours and nitrates usually gone within 72. I do run seriously oversized filters on all my tanks so there is plenty of room for bacteria to grow so that helps.
