I won a goldfish at the fair when I was around 7/8. We didn't actually have anywhere to keep it but I really wanted one so my grandad agreed to keep it in his tank so I'd still get to see it because we visited a lot. That fish lived for years and grew fairly large, it was wild 😂
My family always bought "feeder fish" every year to throw in our ponds. Out of 2 dozen every year only like 3-7 of them survived the season but two of those suckers lived 6 and 7 years old. They even survived a pump short-circuit a few yrs i that nearly killed my dad when he tried to reach in an pick one of them out. They only died a few years later when we had the coldest and longest winter our state ever saw and the pond froze almost completely solid. They died from lack of oxygen in the water that was still liquid. It was too deep for us to pick through but we were all sad when we saw their dead bodies after the thaw. Carp are strong.

As a huge aquarist myself, I love this video. Very informal and shows people the truth of goldfish. Goldfish aren’t necessarily a beginner fish and people don’t realize they need so much space.
The oldest living goldfish is over 40 years old and the average lifespan is around 15-20 years, just putting that out there because there's a common misconception that they have short lifespans
I had a 55 gallon fresh water tank for about 8 years, and I had angel fish, puffer fish, shrimp, blue lobsters, a bunch of random tetras, and my favorite fish, a pleco (algae eater) The puffer fish brought ich to my tank, which killed all but 1 angel fish, 2 tetra, and the algae eater (RIP Larry the Lobster). When I bought the algae eater it was about an inch long, and after 8 years, it was over 17 inches long and looked like a water dragon. Then I found him floating belly up in my tank, and he was the last of the fish, so I sold the tank after 8 years. :( Also shoutout to r/aquariums for teaching me so much useful information
Toilets do not lead to rivers and lakes, sewage goes to treatment plants where its filtered and treated and fish cannot reach waterways though them. As for fish size, I had a goldfish in a tropical tank and that thing grew like mad and also ate all the small fish in the tank but it eventually met its end when the freshwater blue lobster in the tank finally got hold of it
I’ve had plenty of goldfish in my life. Sometimes up to 10+ at a time. But I know for a fact I had one that lived for nearly 7 years. He was the biggest one so it was easy to point him out amongst the rest. Was very sad when he finally died 😔RIP Captain Tide
You don't explain how flushing a fish into a sanitary sewage system that most commonly goes to a treatment plant for processing & filtering of solid waste allows for the fish to be in a waterway. It is illegal to directly dump a human waste system into a public creek, lake, wash or any other ways that holds or conveys fresh or salt water without treating to safe levels first.
Flushing a dead fish is usually for peace of mind for the little kid who owned the fish. I guess you could also just bury it and have a little funeral. Usually when I think of goldfish I think of it like a little kid's first pet
I've had my gold fish for about 12 yrs and it's about 7in long and it has a catfish to play with 11yrs old. The only fish I flush is a dead fish moral of the story only flush dead fish.
@@Mr.DISRESPECT after I've caught and cleaned but never my pet fish. They live as long of a life that I can when they go belly up poke them they don't move safe for flushing.
Hold on, if flushing a fish down the toilet allows it to end up in a river or lake, does that mean the wastewater doesn't get treated and cleaned before releasing it "into the wild"? Is that an American thing?
I love fish so much and I miss my best friend, Franny; so so so much every day. She was a female koi betta (passed away due to old age) who I trained and she always made me smile and would kiss my finger if I was having a tough day- Before Franny, I would flush my aquarium shrimp and fish. I buried her. She was too special to me! She has a memorial rock in my room. If you love fish, please take care of them! They are living creatures too!!! Remember to give them room, provide a nice tank, clean their habitats, and use filters/heaters! Don't flush them...
I had a goldfish that lived for ten years before he became so big I couldn't clean the tank properly because he was just too difficult to deal with. I let him go in the nearby Marriott hotels front pond display that had fish in it as well, the staff must have wondered where a giant goldfish appeared from. Every once in awhile I would go there and see how he was doing
Ima go out on a limb and say none had watched this whole video. With that being said I bet the biggest problem with throwing fish down the toilet is there’s a whole fishilization in the sewers with growing hatred of the surface world for casting them to this forsaken land… one day they’ll rise and everyone will see… they’ll see…
In a city and suburban areas most sewer lines run with just gravity and a slight gradient to get the sewage out of your home. Septic pumps are used in rural areas with no city sewage system in place. Pumps waste from the septic tanks to leaching pipes under ground.
@@craigs831 I’m on a city (suburb) sewer system and everything that makes its way to the wastewater system passes through a pump that grinds anything that gets flushed. I know this because ours was damaged by a large amount of paper towels that got flushed during a remodel
Who would flush a live goldfish? Usually when they're flushed it's because they're already dead.. this is extremely sad to me and because goldfish are amazing!! They're wonderful pets I should get one for my cat 🐈🖤 😂
A Goldfish will not survive sewage treatment, these fish were either released by negligent pet owners or survivors of illegal bait use, no way possible a Goldfish is going to make it through a sewage treatment plant even if it survived the trip through the pipes.
At my parents house where I grew up we had a couple goldfish in a small backyard pond (albeit far larger than a fishbowl) that was ran through a filtration pump. It was crazy seeing those goldfish grow, one of them is still alive today some 10 years later, the other had to be atleast 5 pounds when we pulled it out after it had died. Crazy seeing how big they can get!
I got two goldfish my senior year of high school from a teacher after we used them for experiments (don’t worry, they weren’t harmed) and here we are a few years later, I’m a junior in college, and they’re about 8 inches long and I know will continue to get bigger. It’s crazy how big those tiny 25 cent fish get and this proves their growing potential is insane if you take care of them.
In the canal I used to live near, there were always a lot of foot-long (or more) goldfish living in the water, though canals are not technically a natural watercourse, they do connect to them in some istances, so, the goldfish do get out eventually...
as a early teen I had several gold fishes at once, I had left camping and my sister was suppose to watch over them but didn't do when I got home some were dead the ones that survived be came carnivores
We have thousands of goldfish in our local ponds in northern Michigan. We've seen some the size of catfish (around 1 to 2 ft maximum) black ones,yellow,white,even a mixture of them all. It's really had a toll on our fishing and it's terrible. Edit: we have snake heads in Michigan as well. Growing up my dad Always told me they were natural common fish. I had no idea about the asia thing..Jesus I've let way too many go.
Snakehead are quite a delicacy in Asia. Roast it till it becomes dry and blsck and it can be kept for a long time It's used to make spicy mixture with chilli and other fermented fish or soy beans You can heat uo roasted fish and eat it directly. Most asian countries kinda survived off it for centuries
My goldfish lived 6 years and just recently died- was a fair fish and the other one we got from fair died next day from stress, the one before that lived 4 years (Beta) and my first goldfish lived 3 or 4 years too- I’m a pretty good fish mama when it comes to tanks 😊
The main real problem with the goldfish is they sell them at almost every bait shop and fisherman dump their bait in the water when they leave it's not pet fish
Wow. This is a very informative video, i love it. I hope people does watch this and get informed for the sake of local fishes and also the gold fishes. People should be responsible fish keepers
I saw the same incident many years ago happenning in a cartoon show "Kick Buttowskii" where in 1 episode a goldfish was flushed and it grew to the size of a shark🤣 aahh! Brings back memories😄
I had Koi one time, now those are some quick growing fish, I bought them tiny from Walmart and petsmart and they outgrew the tank in less than 6 months, I had to send them off to someone who had a large pond setup.
If goldfish convert carbohydrates to alcohol as a replacement for needing oxygen then what about those handful of people who can do the same(convert carbs to ethanol)? 🤔
I had a buddy who had a big goldfish that would rise to the top of the water when you plashed your finger in the tank and allow you to pet it, ... it was too cool, ...
as an Asian I can confirm, snakeheads can still flop around and jump off the table in fish markets even hours after catching it. Also as an Asian, I can confirm that snakehead is tasty - I just ate a deep-fried snakehead for lunch.
"Flushing your dead goldfish down the toilet is doing more harm than you ever realized!" How do the corpses come back to life? Are we just not making sure they're dead? They're playing fish-possum? Could people mitigate this by poking a presumptively deceased goldfish with a toothpick to make sure it's dead? Let's never discount the importance of making sure.
THE MINIMUM TANK SIZE FOR GOLDFISH IS 20 GALLONS PER FISH. Goldfish and betta fish are some of the most abused pets in the world. It's heartbreaking. If you can't provide a huge tank for them, please don't get one. Their care requirements are much more complicated than people think.
I flushed a cichlid convict down my toilet once. I was giving up my aquarium because I just couldn't get it right. Wherever it ended up hope you doing good buddy 🥲
gold fish are NOT 1-2 inch fish, fancy goldfish can be up to 6-8 inches long and common gold fish can get even larger than that. They need much larger aquariums than most people realize, you would need at least a 29 gallon for one fancy gold fish at the bare minimum.
To put that in a nutshell, you will die a very gruesome death. I should know, I've played Wolfenstein before and I've seen how he killed Nazis in the most horrible ways possible.
So, I have two goldfish in a 55 gal aquarium. There comet fish and can grow to 24" with regular water changes (twice a week) and changing there oversized filter regularly. These third hand fish have been in my care for 3 years and I was told they were 2 when I got them they have gone from about 2.5-3" to more like 8"now. So it's possible just not very easy. Plecos and lion fish are also a big problem
I'm a wastwater treatment operator. I work at a small to medium sized plant in Ontario, Canada, and I fkn guarantee you that if you flush a goldfish down the toilet, it's not going to survive the trip through a modern wastewater treatment process. Just watch the sewage treatment video on this very channel and tell me if you really think ANY FISH could survive a trip through a WWT process. Unless your municipality sends it's sewage directly to the receiving body of water, goldfish flushing is not what's causing this problem.
We had a goldfish growing up that ate all the other different type of fish in our tank. Except for the algae eater. But he was almost the size of a 10year olds fish. After he ate all the other fish. You could put your finger tip in the water and he would tried to nibble on it.
This is crazy because my wife's goldfish she won at a fair died the other day, it lived 25 long years in a home aquarium, the maintenance was insane.
She must of really loved that fish.

What did the maintenance entail?

That fish lived for years and grew fairly large, it was wild 😂
Same mine grew to 6 inches but died soon after I turned 7
My kids fair fish lived like 6-7 years untill my nephew dumped a entire thing of food in the tank

They might not have a favorable flavor or might not digest well for us.
Apparently its because being a carp they have a muddy taste. So no reason not too just wont taste well. Maybe fertilizer?
Don't taste good, like at all.
They taste terrible but pets will eat em. Should make a organic petfood company from em

You have a point, but some sewage areas lead directly to rivers. Which in turn lead to oceans.
my houses plumbing system drains into the canal behind my house
I had a blue "lobster" then the Jack's started mating
Same point: don’t put a betta in a bowl without filtration and a heater also. They won’t live merely as long as they would if they had both.

I thought this was going to be about flushing dead goldfish lol.
"Flushing your dead goldfish down the toilet is doing more harm than you ever realized!" How do the corpses come back to life? Are we just not making sure they're dead? They're playing fish-possum? Could people mitigate this by poking a presumptively deceased goldfish with a toothpick to make sure it's dead? Let's never discount the importance of making sure.
Use a hammer to remove all doubt. The kids know when it's all over.
Just bury it? FFS are peeps in America even to lazy to pick a shovel, stick it maybe 2/3 times into the ground, dump the fish, and close the hole?
THE MINIMUM TANK SIZE FOR GOLDFISH IS 20 GALLONS PER FISH. Goldfish and betta fish are some of the most abused pets in the world. It's heartbreaking. If you can't provide a huge tank for them, please don't get one. Their care requirements are much more complicated than people think.
Next VIDEO idea: WHERE to hide gold bars. Or... Luckiest gold finds!
may i ask how big of a tank or a aqauriam would be okay living conditions of a goldfish? how long can snakehead fish survive out of water? i'm curious
I flushed a cichlid convict down my toilet once. I was giving up my aquarium because I just couldn't get it right. Wherever it ended up hope you doing good buddy 🥲
gold fish are NOT 1-2 inch fish, fancy goldfish can be up to 6-8 inches long and common gold fish can get even larger than that. They need much larger aquariums than most people realize, you would need at least a 29 gallon for one fancy gold fish at the bare minimum.
Day 11 of requesting infographics to cover: you vs Terror Billy
To put that in a nutshell, you will die a very gruesome death. I should know, I've played Wolfenstein before and I've seen how he killed Nazis in the most horrible ways possible.
If you mean Wolfenstein William J. "Terror Billy" blaskovich, then it would be more "How to survive Terror Billy".

Yessir cant wait for another vid from infographic lesgo
So, I have two goldfish in a 55 gal aquarium. There comet fish and can grow to 24" with regular water changes (twice a week) and changing there oversized filter regularly. These third hand fish have been in my care for 3 years and I was told they were 2 when I got them they have gone from about 2.5-3" to more like 8"now. So it's possible just not very easy. Plecos and lion fish are also a big problem
It takes millions of years to evolve but just one dude releasing his pet fish to destroy the whole ecosystem, so crazy
I'm a wastwater treatment operator. I work at a small to medium sized plant in Ontario, Canada, and I fkn guarantee you that if you flush a goldfish down the toilet, it's not going to survive the trip through a modern wastewater treatment process. Just watch the sewage treatment video on this very channel and tell me if you really think ANY FISH could survive a trip through a WWT process.
Unless your municipality sends it's sewage directly to the receiving body of water, goldfish flushing is not what's causing this problem.
I love these animations.
Edit: just these animations. Not the other ones.
Alcohol ? I wonder how does alcohol brewed from goldfish tasted like
I’m hoping sometime in the fires they will have the technology to extract it
Warms the heart, warms the soul. This music is very soothing. Stay connected :) 😆😍😜
I love this channel as it brings so much real facts of Life :)
We had a goldfish growing up that ate all the other different type of fish in our tank. Except for the algae eater. But he was almost the size of a 10year olds fish. After he ate all the other fish. You could put your finger tip in the water and he would tried to nibble on it.
Aw
