Yeah you like- learn it in 10th grade in our country its called Osmoregulation where freshwater fish actively takes ions through their gills and saltwater fishes excretes ions
Whenever I watch your videos I just feel bad about the fish I got as a little kid from Walmart (when they carried fish idk if they still do) and it just makes me feel so bad because my parents didn't know shit about taking care of fish so they all died so fast 😭
Well personally I always use fresh rain water that i kept it in a big gallon. I live in Indonesia and in here we have two season only (dry & rain season), and it's better to collect water on a rain season because usually when it's raining on a dry season, the water taste is a little salty and the color look a bit gray because the pollution. Until now my gold fish still look good and healthy for almost a year👍
I remember when i was five i always dropped sugar in our fishtank because freshwater in austria is called süßwasser wich translated to english is sweetwater
I add salt for the purposes stated but I'm pretty sure the instructions on the packet will say don't add it near to the fish. If anything, dissolve it in water first then add that slowly near the pump to ensure it's mixed in well.
Quick little story: My sister and I won two goldfish at a pumpkin patch. We bought them a 2 gallon tank because we didn’t have money and there was only the two of them so they would keep each other company. After a few months I noticed that my goldfish was actually pregnant so I began quarantining her so she could lay her eggs and once they hatched I would give the babies away to Petco. I was really excited because I our goldfish somehow successfully mated despite the odds and it meant that they were happy and in a somewhat good living condition. Then one day my sister bought some _sea_ shells from a pet store. Both of our goldfish died after she put them in the 2 gallon tank because the seasalt was still on the seashells. I was infuriated and to make matters worse, she flushed both of them down the toilet and didn’t even bother giving the two of them a proper burial.
Great! Finally a fish keeper talking about it!!! You don't know how many times my fishes died because we didn't know about these things when I was growing up. Took us many attempts to know what was wrong.
Explaination to those who do not understand enough; Yes, the fish is not dead because seawater has around 3.5% of salt. This dude water only contains 0.09% of salt, when he said 1 tbsp in 5 gallon
I’m a bass fisherman and use 2 products you might want to check out one is called g-juice and the other is rejuvenate they help with the o2 content in the water and help with many other things
It prevents also „methhämoglobinanämie“ (bloodcells to carry natriumchloride instead of nitrit) if nitrit is at an highlevel, which will occure automatically if dosing methyleneblue, due to its desinfectant effect which kills also all beneficial filterbacteria.
i watched down the core a few times and they said everything is made up of salt, and that if we all had no salt, we'd all die. it makes perfectly sense for all bodies of water to have salt!
I think that's the recommended method but since his quarantine tub is literally a pond, I guess the concentration won't fluctuate as much as a 10 gallon tank
Bodies need salt. I remember a doctors appointment where I was litterally passing out from dehydration dispite drinking bottle and bottles of water a day. Well I wasnt eating enough salt to help my body retain that water.
I thought the same thing cuz we have bettas at petco and I thought they were freshwater fish but they have us put a pinch of salt in the five gallon bucket along with conditioner for water changes
Hey Luke, I used Himalayan salt for my axolotl tank. Dude that shit kills bacteria and I did a 2 teaspoon ration based off gallons of water. Idk about other salt but I’m sticking with my pink lol.
Guys just a reminder if you want to do this, dont use your regular table salt to do it. Some table salt have added chemicals that may be harmful to the fishes, make sure to use salt that are safe for them
If you have goldfish also be aware that some farms in Thailand and China are essentially brackish water. It's for disease prevention I believe. But in general if you want to keep say 1 tablespoon per 10 gallons at all times, I suggest buying the larger 10 pound buckets of salt you can get off Amazon. Usually they are marketed for pond, but overall it is still cheaper than say buying Kosher salt from a grocery store at that volume. API definitely buy their pond salt, it's 1/4 the cost than their aquarium salt, and as you would think, it's the same salt...
As for a fish keeper fish lover myself I’m keeping a marine tank and it’s pretty much all about good water chemistry and good water chemistry is a massive chunk of that is good salt balance, and there’s even plenty of fish out there that are sold as freshwater fish but they’re actually brackish or salt water. Yes if you know what you’re doing you can actually buy fish that are sold as freshwater take them home and put them in your salt water tank. And in some cases you can actually be doing that fish a favour.
I kinda forget people dont know these things, i have 2 freshwater tanks and a saltwater tank as of now so i kinda forget how inexperienced i was when i started this hobby
Id do research, usually hardier fish like goldfish do just fine, bettas are pretty sensitive to water ph and stuff and this would burn their gills, if your fish is sick I'd reserch to see what works for that fish,
@@artsyscrub3226 Ya, scaleless fish like catfish will have very negative reactions to salt. In my experience, ¼tbsp salt/gallon for bettas is ok to treat fin rot
I have a nano tank w)a Betta, river minnows, mystery snails. Every 5 water changes (or two weeks -depending on which happens last) I add a small pinch of aquarium salt. If I did not have snails, I would do 1/2 tsp.

hi! i love your videos :)
Day 47 of asking for you to name a fish either mr clean or giga fish
@@TheKingMateo22 th-cam.com/video/kkqMpPrTblw/w-d-xo.html LOOK AT YOUR CHANNEL HOW ARE WE CRINGE
Wow! 😃🤘
Thanks for explaining. I’ve seen so many TH-camrs do it, and also complaining about people who are curious while simultaneously never explaining it.
I love how the fish just scramble around lol you’re such a great father to them😂
Haha thank you
@@lukesgoldies of course😂❤️
@@lukesgoldies ngl I can take care of two dogs, but goldfish seem a little too complicated for me😭
“You’re” 🤓
you're*
im an experienced keeper so this is all self explanatory to me but i just love how you make everything so easy to understand for newbies
Thank you! I try my best to!
@@TheKingMateo22 says the one with an emo Minecraft profile picture
@@lukesgoldies do you know what type of salt I should use in tank?
Hey @AJ what’s in your profile picture?
@@weaboo4444 its nagatoro from Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro
these are literally the cutest fish i have ever seen. i can’t get enough of the slo-mo of gigachad ITS SO CUTE 😭😭😭
GIIGA CHAD
@@lukesgoldies which brand of salt do you use?
@@SonyEnthusiast s a l t
@@junebugstudio smfh....from API, Fluval Sea, or what?
@@SonyEnthusiast Dude, it’s just salt. SALT.
"The concentration level of the salt should be very low "
Proceeds to add 30 scoops of salt
it is still a low concentration you dumbass
wdym?
@@fannymybeloved smoke?

Bro I was about to do something illegal
"because salt makes the fish taste better" -Bayou Billy
So glad you added a ratio so some poor guy doesn’t poison his fish by getting fresh and saltwater fish.
The fish be like
Look it’s snowing!
The snow be tastin' different today
) :
They're so cute 🥺 could you film more close-ups of the fish? I love looking at their adorable faces
love that shot with the super clear calm water
You should make a in memoriam wall for all the goldfish that pass or you have to sell so they won't be forgotten
I still can’t believe it’s called “methylene blue”
I know this isn’t on topic but my favorite thing about your goldfish are that they are so chunky
“Luke, can you explain the salt? Are goldfish freshwater fish?”
“Yes they are, but the salt just makes them taste better”
Thanks for the short
Thanks for watching!
"salt at a lower concentration"
Drops a whole salt rock in the tank.

These chonks are so cute!
"Hey timmie come look, the human is giving is more of that weird white powder again! "
-the fish probably
Yes its amazing! My fish live up when I add it to there tanks after water changes!
"Water being wet"
Goldfish: this stresses me
It's the shipping proces that stresses them out
Bruh you ever felt so tired after a long journey? That's stress. Same for fish.
Actually goldfish are hardy species thats why slim bodied goldfish make great first pets to those who are new the hobby
@@nemueljanbaylen6163 ehh I wouldn't say that something like a guppy would be better imo
200th like
“Its at a much lower concentration” continues to add a whole bag to the tank 😂
Your chunky little goldfish bring me happiness 😊
*Osmosis is the movement of water from a high concentration to a low concentration through a semi permeable membrane*
Depends on the fish and plants, and he's NOT using table salts (iodized salt) as it will kills all your fish.
I remember when i was five i always dropped sugar in our fishtank because freshwater in austria is called süßwasser wich translated to english is sweetwater
Man explained a part of homeostasis like it’s nothing 😳
I add salt for the purposes stated but I'm pretty sure the instructions on the packet will say don't add it near to the fish. If anything, dissolve it in water first then add that slowly near the pump to ensure it's mixed in well.
just added salt to my koi pond yesterday and yes it has its benefits thanks for sharing 👍
I love your videos
That's true I also use fish salt and methylene blue for every new or sick fish

they like the flavor. sometimes the water is too bland for them
Great! Finally a fish keeper talking about it!!!

Happy to help!!
Sounds like a promo for salt
Explaination to those who do not understand enough; Yes, the fish is not dead because seawater has around 3.5% of salt. This dude water only contains 0.09% of salt, when he said 1 tbsp in 5 gallon
the fishies go WEWOWEWO

The video I needed!!!!
I learned something knew. Thanks. Much success to you and your family always ❤
Taking notes while I'm cooking some fish
I like that you got them in a spinning motion
They are such social butterflies ☺️☺️
Luke always has a reason. Don’t question him.
mans has a 100 gallon fish tank in the clip of him adding a lot. good god.
Homie add salts to the pond as if he was making a soup
It prevents also „methhämoglobinanämie“ (bloodcells to carry natriumchloride instead of nitrit) if nitrit is at an highlevel, which will occure automatically if dosing methyleneblue, due to its desinfectant effect which kills also all beneficial filterbacteria.
Electrolytes, fish version LOL
Anyone else thinking of that video of those people setting goldfish free into the ocean 🤔
i watched down the core a few times and they said everything is made up of salt, and that if we all had no salt, we'd all die. it makes perfectly sense for all bodies of water to have salt!
Man gave a whole presentation
My dad has koi pond yes he also put methylene blue and salt, but its NOT table salt for you guys who wondering..
Season to perfection
i almost thought the goldfish turned into sea goldfish
Thank you for ur video and information, be blessed Fish Lover…
Also use salt to season your fish well
Fish : why did this water get more salty
love your reels! but I thought the salt needed to be dissolved in a separate container before adding it into the tank with the fish
I think that's the recommended method but since his quarantine tub is literally a pond, I guess the concentration won't fluctuate as much as a 10 gallon tank
Father please give us that magic white powder that falls from the sky and make us float
I'm waiting for the comments but "that's so much salt" not realizing that's atleast a 100 gallon tub
Pov: your local goldfish connoisseur
I saw that one of the new fish was white with an orange head. I think snow man could be a name for that fishie!
Bodies need salt. I remember a doctors appointment where I was litterally passing out from dehydration dispite drinking bottle and bottles of water a day. Well I wasnt eating enough salt to help my body retain that water.
I thought the same thing cuz we have bettas at petco and I thought they were freshwater fish but they have us put a pinch of salt in the five gallon bucket along with conditioner for water changes
Convinced this guy know how to cure Goldfish Cancer with how many things he knows prevents disease for fish.
Hey Luke, I used Himalayan salt for my axolotl tank. Dude that shit kills bacteria and I did a 2 teaspoon ration based off gallons of water. Idk about other salt but I’m sticking with my pink lol.
Fresh water aquarium salt has saved my goldfish numerous times, thanks for making this clear, iv had alot of arguments on this topic lol
I'm glad to see you have a big rank for them gold fish.
That's like asking why you would give someone salt on their chips if copious amounts of salt would kill us
Guys just a reminder if you want to do this, dont use your regular table salt to do it. Some table salt have added chemicals that may be harmful to the fishes, make sure to use salt that are safe for them
I am getting vietnam flashbacks
He's obviously seasoning the fish
It help fish a lot with their healthy prevent from manny deceased trust me add just a little salt everytime u changes water or treatment..
If you got sick fish, the last ditch attempt to help them is with a salt bath.
The inner bodybuilder made me want to jump through the screen and drink it all 😔
It's at a lower concentration, proceeds to put fifty scoops of salt in the water.
Fishies: Good Soup
It also enhances the flavor!!!

API definitely buy their pond salt, it's 1/4 the cost than their aquarium salt, and as you would think, it's the same salt...
I also add salt to goldfish and koi about a handful or two and they rarely get sick
I'm glad my sick goldfish saved by the salt🤭
Not normal kitchen salt however...I mean...Yeah you can have a salty dish but yeah theres a salt for aquariums
Yeah but you can also just use that water purifier thing that removes chlorine because that also adds salt.
Little Timmy wanted goldfish so bad that when he grew up he make a whole career on them
day one of asking you to name a goldfish methylene blue and nickname it meth
It's makin me want to make ma own goldfish tank in future

When, where and how did you learn so much about goldfish? I'm intrigued!!
Dude I’m telling you, you have to name the white one with the red on top of the head you need to name it starburst :D
THAT'S ENOUGH SLICES
Bro said fresh water systems contain a less salt concentration compared to Salt water systems, "proceeds to add 12 spoons of salt
How the hell do you learn all these things? It’s seriously amazing
Very useful. Does this work with other species of fish?
For some yes, for others no.
Id do research, usually hardier fish like goldfish do just fine, bettas are pretty sensitive to water ph and stuff and this would burn their gills, if your fish is sick I'd reserch to see what works for that fish,
