that depends on the fish itself, as she had said from her experience none of her fish have tried to leap out of the tank, I have a comet goldfish, and he hasn't jumped out before, but my friend has a fantail and a comet who both have. I suggest if you would like to go lid free do not fill the tank to the brim. I keep my tank a half inch below the rim. my friend mentioned earlier drained her tank by about an inch and the fish stopped jumping out.

The misinformation in the comment section here is unbelievable. The fish per gallon rules are general rules of thumb, but actual recommended stocking density is based on many different variables and actually can be calculated using formulas based on fish rearing industry standards... These seem to be completely unknown to the home aquarium industry. Variables include "inflow" (which is hard to determine in a home aquarium setting due to the fact there is not usually a constant flow of water, but rather water changes), amount of feed given to fish, (digestion of food not only requires an increase in oxygen consumption due to increase in metabolic rate but also and increase in waste) and temperature as oxygen saturation decreases with increases in temperature. these are just a few of the variables taken into consideration. Also, to those who believe that over-filtration is some sort of remedy for not doing water changes... it is not. Yes it helps with elevated levels of ammonia and nitrite, converting them to the much less toxic nitrate, however no amount of filtration will remove nitrate. There is a point where adding more filtration will have no effect. Lastly, to those saying "my fish have been living like this for multiple years and they are fine" Yes, your fish may seem fine as fish have a "resistance phase" when dealing with stress (poor water quality, low O2 etc) And may have become more resistant to those stresses but they are far from "healthy." Growth will be stunted, lifespan shortened along with many other symptoms. A healthy goldfish can live 20+ years. If you knew someone who only lived to their early thirties and was small, frail and far less energetic would you say they were healthy because they managed to live at least that long and didn't die right away? NO. Fish display poor health in ways that aren't as obvious to us. don't assume.

Great start up video! My daughter is started with 2 Fancy Goldfish that went from a bowl, to 10 gallon tank which are now going to to 75 Gallon long tank. Watching. Your videos convinced me the 2 original tanks were way too small. Anyhow, the issue I am having with the 10 gallon tank is the levels of Nitrate and Nitrite are non existent however ammonia creeps up daily forcing me to perform almost daily 25-50% water changes. Will using the Prime when filling and starting the new 75 gallon tank help me with cycling outlined in this video? Thanks for doing these...very informative.

Joe Giz (im aware it’s been 3 years) don’t quote me on this, but if there is fish in the 10 gallon, there will always be ammonia, it just depend on how long it takes for it to convert. If the test on the water goes well, I’d put half of it (or all) in your 75! It’ll help the cycle boost start, but it still needs help. Now to the present, How are your goldfish? Hope your tank got sorted out!!

One of the better videos I have seen.... Ten years it's been on here and first time I think I have seen it.... Keeping goldfish on and off for 37 years give or take a year or so last two years gone back into tropical fish but set up a small budget tank as a demo.....and I am an advocate of doing fish in cycles and I really don't like it when people try to explain the nitrogen cycle and do a half job of it and in fact this kills and makes sick more first timers goldfish than any other newbie tank problems and here is why.... And why I suggest people stop cycling your tanks and add your fish from the start.... In your video you tell people to add ammonia to two parts per million untill the tank is cycled in about a months time and ammonia and nitrates levels are zero.... And that's what's killing off newbies fish and here is why..... If after you cycle your tank at two part per million your bacteria colony grows to deal with that level of ammonia and nitrite.... Bacteria colony only grows to the size of the available food it can eat or convert..... So after a month you add your fish and the fish the uneaten food and fish waste if it adds up to more than the two parts per million of ammonia you supplied during your tank cycling stage say 4 parts per million you have a colony of bacteria that can only convert 2 parts per million so you get a second spike of ammonia followed by a second spike of nitrite..... And because newbies watch these videos for advice etc they think their tank is cycled and it's OK and they don't realise they are getting a second spike of ammonia and nitrite and don't understand why their fish are sick and dying in their cycled to perfection tank.... If you do a fish in cycle correctly the bacteria colony grow to the exact size need to deal with the exact waste being produced.... Providing of course you have supplied enough surface area in your filter so after your tank is cycled properly with the fish in there is never a second ammonia or nitrite spike to harm make sick or kill your new fish.... I wish people would stop making these videos explaining cycling tanks and empty tank cycling.... Without also stating this fact.... That once you have cycled your tank using a certain level or amount of ammonia that once you add your fish expect and be aware if the bio load of your fish is greater than the amount of ammonia you cycled your tank with you will get a second spike and your fish may get sick and your fish may die..... And that once you add your fish your tank is then no longer fully cycled and you must adopt a new mini cycle so to speak.... For at least another 2 - 4 weeks untill your bacteria colony grows even larger to cope with any extra potential bio load or extra ammonia produced above the level you supplied during the cycle..... Anyway hope your still fish keeping bye....

I like Live Plants in my aquariums, mostly because my fish can eat them. it means I feed them less, and so long as I have fast growing plants they never get overtaken by my fish, since I only have 2 goldfish. they also help by putting a bit more O2 into the water, and but using the fish waste as nutrients to grow. my Uncle once said that a good fish tank should mimic an ecosystem in as many ways as possible.

Just a note from personal experience: I had a golfish who jumped from the tank and landed on the floor. I have no idea how long she was out. When I found her, she was dry and stiff. In desperation, I picked her up and pushed her back and forth through the tank water, trying to get water through her gills. I honestly thought she was already dead. But she wasn't. After a minute or so, she came to, and started swimming. She lost a few scales in the process, which have now grown back, but she is still alive and well, 3 years later. Don't always assume your fish is dead.

+Radical vibesz I've had two single-tailed goldfish for over a year now and they have never jumped out of their tank. I never put a lid on it and overall I think it's easier for oxygen to enter the tank, plus you can see your fish from above without a lid which is pretty neat. The only reason a goldfish would jump out of a tank would be if it's highly stressed out or frightened. This is caused by poor water quality, small volumes of water, aggresive tank mates, etc.

About the nitrogen cycle- I went to my fish store (selling only fish, and are very informative about fish) and they told me something called turbo start which is love bacteria so you don't have to cycle your tank at all. You add the bacteria and at the same time you add food and an hour later you put on a fish. That way you get your fish a lot faster and they don't endure the stress of nitrogen swings and all that. We just set up at turtle tank on Friday and it is Tuesday and we already have 10 goldfish in our 60 gallon which is over stocked but we have a very powerful filter. Anyways my point was is now there's a way to cycle your tank instantly of your interested.

Thanks for a great video series! I've kept fish for a lot of years, but it's neat to learn how caring for goldfish can have its own unique challenges and rewards. FYI, not all tap water has chlorine - just all city water :) If you live in the country or on an acreage, you likely have well water with nothing added. Also, when you add bubbles, gas transfer happens while the bubbles are floating up, so you get a lot more benefit than just the surface movement. Thanks again!

Hahahahaaa! Well... Actually not really funny, but my Goldies (4) are old fashion 20cm fish, age about 12 years!!!! o.O They probably would frown upon a "clean" new age basin. I raised them in a 250 liter basin with filtering, artif. light, and some fresh plants to chew on. They get earthworms and tiny pieces of meat and fresh spinach to spice up the flakes. In all those years they became like family members and I dare say they actually know me and at times they even "play" hide and seek with our cats. Whenever the tank looks "gross" I do a complete reset and the fish feel like moving into a new home. :)

Hi Solid Gold, I have a natural earth pond that is 120 feet across and 14 feet deep at the center. Is this an ok environment for everyday goldfish? I was thinking that I would like to select some nice looking feeder fish and just let them grow up in the pond. What's your opinion on that? There are lots of lilies and natural cover with mostly open surface area. Thanks in advance for your fabulous advice :) Thumbs up on this video!

I cannot upgrade any bigger because lack of space in small bedroom. My intention is for a 55 long 48" by 21" high and depth is 12" . This will be home to my once rescued feeders. I raised the fish since September. From tiny things to now 5" gorgeous comets. One is solid orange the other two are white with I noticed a tint of gold in lighting beautiful. My three pals. Right now there in a 30 gal 30" long 17" high 12" depth . Temporary till 55 gal comes in by the way my filtration is at 100 gph aquaclear 70 filter with a bubble wand against tank back wall. All my learning is from your site and Corey at aquarium co-op thanx Ronnie

i once had a small fish pond but never knew how many gallons it was. if i'm to estimate.. i think its about 500 gallons more or less. wide and shallow watered... looks good.. got crystal clear water.. got good filtration.. got live plants and algae grown nicely.. the goldfish i had in there looks happy and growing.. what i really didn't know how to do was check the waters quality.. never really checked for PH levels, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite.. i just maintained it by small water changes weekly... but it seems to me that the fish are doing OK. they do look fine. only i moved places so i had to loose the hobby. =( now i'm thinking about getting back to the hobby and plan to setup an indoor pond. but i'm worrying about this water quality check thing.. back then im reading about it but never actually did it.. i learned that ammonia is the most dangerous part of fish keeping if a tank/pond is not properly cycled. so i just DIYed a filter and put plants in there and everything went great.. guess i just went happy-go-lucky that time. all i know is to cycle the water.. if i see bacterial growth in my filter then it's a go.. that's it.. ^_^ hopefully i'm going to be able to do now what i did back then.. haha! sorry for the long story.. ^^

a 30 gallon is okay for smaller fish not ideal for two fully grown fancies in my opinion you should have about 30 gallons per fancy. since they can grow very large upwards of 7 inches. hope this helps.

The key to keeping goldfish is over filtration, due to the fact that goldfish create a lot of waste. For example, if you keep a fish in a 30 gallon long tank, get an undergravel filter and a power filter that's rated for 60 gallons or more. But honestly, it's best to use a canister filter for any goldfish tank.
