I love fancy goldfish because of how derpy they are. They're surprisingly active. Constantly hungry for attention, and just loving.

When my nieces were little, I had a pair of stacked tanks, one mixed tropical and the other goldfish. The girls loved to watch the tanks, but I noticed that they were hanging onto the stand to watch the goldies in the top tank, pretty much ignoring the tropicals below. I finally realized the golds being bigger, were easier to see, and ended up swapping the tanks around. From then on, calm time and nap time was easy: throw some pillows and blankets on the floor and set the girls down to watch the goldies.

what an absolutely abysmal take on OFR. Yes there are 100% people who take advantage of the word rescue who are genuinely just looking for handouts. Fish constantly move through OFR, and OFR consistently go out of their way to cut ties with anyone guilty of this false rescue behavior. Educate yourself even momentarily before having that awful of a take. Perhaps join the group and see how constantly they give fish and equipment away. Speaking from experience rehomed monster fish so to speak have their new homes thoroughly vetted before they are moved on from so its actually going to a good new home. Until then it remains at OFRs facility regardless of your completely arbitrary timeline on rehoming lol

Nice to meet Goldfish passionist! New friend here, subbed and hit the bell. I resonant with you on lots of points. To me, 2 big reasons are Culture and Breeding. Goldfish is a simple culture element, think about Butterflies from China, Bristols from UK, Ranchus from Japan, Veiltails from Philadelphia. All different kinds represent the appreciation of beauty from different cultures. When you can breed your own goldfish, you will understand the fun that I am talking about Breeding

An ethical and responsible business... such a rarity these days. I completely agree with you on the "the store sells it, the store takes it back" rule. Stores would make the wise decision (as you have) to not carry larger fish. If a customer really wants a P. managuensis, you can always special order it... and you could then make the decision on whether the customer is capable of keeping it. Never saw the guy before - no. It's Dean - how many do you want? The guy shows you a photo of his 600 gallon Central American mixed community - it'll be here in two days.

I love Goldfish, always have. I think they are so full of personality. One of my favorites, is actually the plain 'ol comet and/or the commons. I feel so sorry for the feeder goldfish in stores. I feel like they should give them the same respect and care as the other fish. I recently brought home 2 baby comets, (1.5 inch -2 inches) put them in a 20L and treated them with the triple meds. They are thriving!!! When they become too big for the tank, I hope to rehome them to some one with an outdoor pond.

100% true that most goldfish get sold when the breeder’s experience says growing them up won’t yield more profit for the extra investment. I’ve talked to a number of fellow breeders and farms that operate this way. It’s why statistically smaller fish at stores will be poorer examples of their breeds when grown out (exceptions always being possible). That said, like you said, the HEALTH of the fish is directly related to care more than genetics.

We agree on " the rescue" of fish. Because I live so close to Ft Bragg there are always families getting orders to go overseas or moving cross country and you can pick up some great deals on tanks. A lot of times the family or guy/gal would only sell the tank if you took the fish also. Ok, I only keep nano fish. Guppies are as big as I go, but here's a 75 g tank for 50 bucks but I've got to take these cichlids or this young flowerhorn or these giant swordtails. My solution...take the tank and fish, keep them for 30 days, make sure they're healthyy and eating well, and as I was actively selling my own home bred fish on AquaBid, to put up...rescue fish need permanent home auctions. I did not care if the last bid was 25 bucks or 10 bucks. As long as I know, hey you're a cichlid guy, and you're going to take these and keep them healthy and happy along with your own cichlids, cool beans. Or you've got an empty 75 or 100 g because your oscar died of old age so you are willing to take this flowerhorn and you already know how big it is going to get and you know it's aggression level as it grows and you know what it's diet needs to be. 10 bucks and you pay shipping, great. People sent pics of the fish in their new peermanent tanks. I got to know some awesome cichlid people, and some awesome betta people. But yep, that was my rule, 30 days to make sure everything is healthy, happy, doesn't have ich or any other obvious signs of diseases and then up for auction you go. Doing this, I also learned about velvet and internal parasites and how to treat them. It was a great learning experience, I got the tanks and stands I wanted and the fish got forever homes. Would I do it again...nope. I'm not actively selling on AB anymore and I still only keep nano fish. I don't like big aggressive fish and these good deals on tanks and stands always seem to come with big aggressive fish, or baby fish that are going to soon be big aggressive fish. So, pass on the great deal, and I've seriously downsized on my own tanks, so, yes it is a great deal, but nope, not for me at this time.

OFR is an actual rescue though... Fish move through their facility often, they ensure that they're healthy, and the people receiving the fish are checked out to ensure that they have the correct housing for the size of the fish. They also work with aquariums and have supplied several public aquariums with fish for their exhibits. They are very open that they are hobbyists and that some of the fish end up being permanent fixtures. They also provide temporary housing for animals whose exhibits are moving states. They are a high quality organization created by hobbyists specifically for monster fish, though they do take any fish as well as turtles. I recommend you take a better look at their organization.

You described so well the powerful, often misunderstood bond that forms with a fish. This is the unspoken reason I am so happy I started following your advice to quarantine. Of course keeping disease out of the display tank is important, but I have my QT set up in my bedroom. This means I start and end every day with an eye on how my newest buddies are doing. This makes me so much more emotionally invested and happy when they do well.

I have all their names written in my notebook and their identifying features, if one dies I cross it off the list, maybe I personified them, maybe it was an easier way to keep track, but I rescued most of these fish and I got to know them very well. the only ones that don't have names are the 69 fry they just had because they are 2 weeks old and probably gonna be sold.

This is an old video, but I think the reason folks are upset about the rescue section is because it was very focused on the problems with rescues, when the root of the problem is the folks that irresponsibly sell/breed fish in the first place. As an ethical store owner, I can see why he would have some implicit bias toward stores being ethical. I think trying to fix rescues would address a symptom, but the problem of too many animals and too few homes would still persist. Personally, I think it would be more efficient to focus efforts on the selling/breeding side than further down the supply chain. To be fair, I absolutely have experience with shady rescues. However, most of the people I know that work in that space are also aware of all of these problems and are trying to help the best way they can within the existing (and deeply flawed) system.

Goldfish interact with people and will come to you when they see you. They have been domesticated for 1,000 years so they like people. They are like dogs in water. They will eat from your hand. Goldfish are social creatures that thrive with companions of their own kind. They are cheap fish, 25 cents each for one common feeder goldfish. I prefer the cheap common feeder goldfish, they very active and hardy. Goldfish are not picky eater, they are pigs in water, they will eat anything, algae, pellets, worms, insects veggies, and fruits. They don't have a true stomach so they act like they are starving all the time. They are coldwater fish they like tempertures 60 to 72 degrees so you can save money on heaters. I keep my goldfish at 72 degrees. They are the most active, healthiest, show the best colors at 72 degrees. In summary common goldfish are cheap, long lived, hardy, friendly, easy to feed, no heater is needed, nice looking, interactive that is why they are the most popular pet fish in the world.

Well, it's a case by case. If you never have a kid, never plan to, or physically incapable of having one, chances are, your pet (particularly a long lived and personable one) will fill that niche just as well, or at least the brain will be tricked into registering as such. Some medical expert might classify that as some kind of mental disorder, but nonetheless, there's plenty of people who view their pets, much more than just a pet; a deep bond between human and goldfish might be a stretch though, but I could be completely wrong about that.

There were so many great points made on this video but I have to pause and comment on the one I’ve agreed with the most so far, I don’t believe genetically you can pick a “perfect” goldfish. Maybe there’s better odds, sure. However I truly think it’s the particular owners care they end up in. My first black moor was from a poorly kept Wal-Mart tank, (not a great idea I know but I felt so bad for the little guy) he was the smallest there, incredibly lethargic and like $3. Fast forward 2 years later and now he’s way larger and more lively than the calico telescope I spent $20 something on at a local family owned aquarium shop. Crazy thing is when I got my calico those 2 years ago he was specifically picked to be the same size as my black moor and was perfectly healthy. Anyway, I just have to commend you for your love of such a mistreated and underestimated fish, they’re truly amazing and genuine pets. Its refreshing to see someone with so much fish keeping experience still enjoy these lovely guys.

I always assumed there was no such thing as a rescue. It's just a way to get nonprofit status to write off expenses for fish keeping. Almost every rescue I've seen on KZitem has talked about buying their own fish that they wanted off the market, which is obviously incompatible with being a rescue carefully guarding your resources and space to provide for fish that actually need help.

But the fancy ones are deformed, far removed from their natural form beyond coloration, stunted in growth, don't move around in a natural manner. And have to be kept in a bare tank in order not to be injured. And with an unnaturally warm aquarium to keep disease at bay. It bothers me the same way weird breeds of dogs bother me. I can't keep a parrot fish or flower horn for the same reasons. I guess I have a problem...

I would spend more time researching goldfish. Your view seems like one that hasn’t been formed after proper research

@@AquariumCoop I know lionheads and bubble eyes are hardly natural in form and movement. Once in the world, they are certainly deserving of a good home. But I've never had one for the aforementioned reasons. I've read of swim bladder problems due to altered shapes, the need for a sinking food lest they sip air from the top into their system and poor eye sight due to telescoped sockets and overgrown wens. I've read that their lifespans, while being long, are typically not as long as a comet or common goldfish. Maybe because their swimming is labored and their inner organs are altered in size and position. This is information or misinformation, that I've gathered over the years. In Israel where I live, is a goldfish world power as side projects in our many carp ponds. We also have great koi which are manipulated by the advancements in genetic engineering.

In regards to that koi bit, while local fish store bought koi can become "champions" of local and US shows; when it comes to the All Japan Koi Show, the million dollar Gosankes bred from auction level breeders like Sakai and Dainichi reign supreme. The size, body, pattern, and clarity of the skin is simply a different animal, store bought koi also just don't reach those meter+ sizes with mammoth sized bodies, not all koi get to those unnatural sizes and proportions because it's just not biologically normal for the fish while also retaining high quality pattern, but small fish do retain their patterns more easily and some breeders are starting to sell purposely stunted fish they call "bonsai" koi because they don't change much if they don't get more than 1-1.5 feet long. The 2019 grand championship koi show just ended a few days ago, and the auction "Legend" Kohaku that became the most expensive koi in the world from Sakai won.

I mean sure. Let’s also not forget that the show is heavily biased and when you win you have to pay the organization etc. it’s more of a marketing thing than a competition.

Your idea of rescue made me think about animal shelters, and It would apply to fish rescue aswell. Animal shelters should be Foster networks, and people would live at the shelter. And instead of employees and volunteers the train fosters, anyone with a large can of house could have five or six dogs or five or six cats. And they would find the secrets to how to keep fish / pets you know why this is give and share them with The fosters. Also fish stores should swap employees, just to properly train every employee. And maybe you could make an employee training class, plus you already train your employees so it's not like you have to invent something new.

Hmm... healthy fish, large tanks, nicely scaped tanks, well maintained tanks, yes yes yes and yes I can totally appreciate. Goldfish though... They're just not for me. Maybe it's cos of some cultural stigma that I grew up with where I'm from, but I just can't appreciate goldfish, just like I can't appreciate koi, blood parrots, flowerhorns, arowana and balloon anything. Certainly can appreciate that others appreciate them though! Love the videos as always!

I'm the same way, but with one exception. I love hibuna - the common goldfish. I can't stand the deformed monstrosities that people call "varieties". Similar to deformed breeds of dogs and cats they are prone to health problems. Many of them have to be hand-spawned to survive - similar to what bulldog breeds have become. It would be better if people just didn't keep and breed them OR if they changed their genetics so that they were fusiform. Right now it's just morally wrong from so many angles.
