Goldfish Swim Bladder Surgery - Pressure Relief
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 พ.ย. 2020
- This was a swim bladder pressure relief procedure that I performed on my very messed up goldfish, Loopy. It was ultimately unsuccessful because I was unable to remove enough air to allow for proper swimming.
This procedure should be used as a last resort, I am not a fish doctor so please do your own research and perform this at your own risk. I am not a vet, this video is NOT veterinary advice, please seek professional help if you have a fish with this condition

Why am I watching a fish surgery on a saturday afternoon, non the less I'm rooting for loopy
It’s almost 4am... the day after Christmas and I’m just. Here.
It's Friday afternoon and I'm supposed to be working, got stuck on fish surgery videos during break 🤦
None*
@@artoflore3039 I'm also watching on a Saturday afternoon which happens to also be august 7th 2021 Saturday afternoon 1:05pm here... It so funny to think about how someone else watched this video 3 hours ago at night on the same day when I'm watching in the afternoon 3 hours after you!
dw its a tuesday morning for me
For anyone wondering, Loopy’s sore is gone and he’s a little better!!
Ooof when the description said unsuccessful I thought the worse
What's his condition now?
a little?!! He better not be dead!!
A little better isn’t acceptable …. 😞
Aww man I know He’s dead ! Just admit it 💀
“at least I did not mess up horribly and kill him” I love this quote.
Dude your profile picture !matches your comment perfectly
What was the final outcome? Did she recover eventually?
What a psyco
@@superaquatics I think loopy past away 😔
@@Isaiah_nightbird32 Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that. I was hoping she had recovered.
This guy takes care of his goldfish better than some people take care of their kids
You can say that again
I love this comment
I should hope people aren't performing surgery on their kids.
@@PS1-Hagrid I sure hope I wont get killed in a mass shooting because a rich spoiled kid didn't get a blue ferrari
it's sad but true
I’d suggest using a thinner (larger gauge) needle.
That’s a thick needle for sucking up thick liquids.
A thinner needle will be fine for watery liquids.
And the easiest thing to pass through a needle is AIR. So try get like a 27.5 gauge needle. It should do less damage on the way in. Make sure to insert at a 45 degree angle, and if anything touches the tip, it will be damaged, and cause way more tearing of tissue on the way in.
Also make sure the needle tip is pointing down when going in. (The opening pointing up)
Also get a larger sized barrel.. 5mls looks like it would be twice the size of what you used.. but I’d try get a 10ml and take a full 10 out for such a large fish. Also you can try using a small 15g (half oz) weight on the lower side of the fish, using a harness going around the fish, to help lower its centre of balance.
It seems like as the swim bladder enlarges, it pushes the gut to the side, rather than having it evenly under the swim bladder, where it balances out the buoyant force.
Maybe with time and some massaging, the gut can be encourage to return to a lower point than the swim bladder.
Also I think being cautious with removal of air from such a bulky centred fish, is not necessary. If full recovery were to occur, reposition of the internal organs is necessary, and pressure from the swim bladder is working against that, so taking out a little more than is ideal probably will assist recovery.
WOW! I hope this guy listens to you! You sound VERY knowledgeable and obviously gave some very good,helpful advice! Thanks for sharing the knowledge! 😁
@@christynm.8933 thank you for your praise! Our goldfish keeper here is a great guy and I am impressed with his dedication, and how professional his setup is.
We can all see that he is more than capable of being an expert goldfish keeper, and I give my advice in hopes of helping him succeed.
@@johntowner1893
may I ask where you learned this? Most people know near nothing about goldfish and it’s always interesting to me when people actually know what they’re doing ( I’m assuming you have experience)
@@navyblue32my short answer is from studying plant and animals at university, college (we call TAFE in Australia) and 15 years experience growing plants, studying all sciences as a hobby, and biology qualified/professionally.
I’ve kept and bred a number of fish for only a few years, my best achievement was breeding peppermint plecos.
I have a lot of experience using needle and barrel apparatus for a variety of reasons, and a basic read online, or discussion with a nurse, will give you the details to the go and with little practice know at least the best way to try minimise damage to patients.
- basically, read, watch, listen, and talk to as many experts/content that you can, learn as much as you can - and with phones and the internet, literally every single one of us has the potential to be an expert at anything!
Thanks for asking why I’m such a smart ass and throwing around advice like I know everything X,D haha
@@johntowner1893
Wow didn’t see this till now, it’s honestly amazing how much people can learn just by researching. I’m currently studying marine biology ( hoping to go into habitat preservation ) and it’s again, super interesting just to see stuff like this
I didn't know a goldfish could stay out of water this long, they're impressive little guys (ik he was put back sometimes and there's cuts but still)
Hope he's ok
He doesnt put them back aslong as his gills are wet he will be ok because wet gills for them will give then oxagen
@SBG Dylan Oh wow, I did not know that!!
He wouldn’t be out of the water that long if he didn’t blab and talk too much like a talk show
@@xzibit8614 he's doing it for information, I'm sure if he thought the fish was gonna die he would've stopped the video
@@xzibit8614 fish can be out of water for 1-7 hours so it’s ok
I came from that tiktok video but this was really interesting to watch, hope loopy is ok now 🥺
Thank you! He is okay now! Better than before the procedure, but not where I want him.
Now he's actually swimming more upright. Much better than at the end of this video
Hey how's it going? I have a five year old oranda, her belly is super swollen and there's black mark on her underbelly. She hasn't been able to leave bottom of tank, she's not eating or shitting. I bathed her in Epsom salt. Her belly gotten bigger last few days, she's upside down now at bottom of tank. What can I do? If nothing what's most humane way to put her away? Thank you
@@vancan5302 I'm sure this is likely to late to help with your fish, but I figure it'll be good for others who might come by. Fancy goldfish will often have swim bladder issues. Usually you'll need to set up a sick tank to house the fish when while treating him. Finding a local fish pet store (not petsmart or petco) is a good start. They'll normally have a variety of medicines for fish, just follow the instructions and if things don't improve, talk to the store again and try something else. I also found my goldfish liked aquarium salt in the water in general, and I used it more so in a sick tank to help with treatments.
@@kpny8484 thanks for the tip, my goldfish died 😐
I never owned fishes in my life, really have no understanding of them and barely know anything about them except basic anatomy from biology in school. Yet here I am, watching someone helping their fish to have a better life. Turns out I'm fascinated by these animals.
I've owned a beta fish(he was purple-ish blue)and he was named zonza edit:sonzsa
I had a goldfish that had this once; sore and everything.
I dont remember what finally resolved the swim bladder issue but he did eventually get better without surgery.
*But what I did to help with the sore was I put a clear glass jar in his tank.*
Eventually he got the idea and started sleeping and resting in there. It kept his body out of the open air while still allowing him to see around the tank and not feel lonely.
Like I said, he did eventually get over the swim bladder condition but I don't know if it was the peas or the salt or the dozens of other treatments I was frantically trying at the time. The glass jar was just my no-surgery quick fix that keep the sore from getting worse/infected, so I wanted to share it in case it could help someone here.
He was a huge boy too, so I had to find a big glass jar. I went to Target to find mine but Walmart probably has some too if that helps. A big clear cookie jar.
Tp treat sbd just adjust temperature to 28 degree celcius, give multi vitamins once then boiled peas diet. This easily solves the diesease eventually
My fish just died while I watched this video on how to save her 😔 RIP Goldilocks 😔
R.i.p
I’m sorry for your loss. 😕
:(
I'm sorry man....
r.i.p
This little cute Loopy is so brave! If I were him, I’d cry, I even hate getting shots- good work, Luke!
Your a new comment yay btw poor loopy
Me too
Everyone hates shots well most people I hate shots
I hate shots to 😰
Just found your channel and the care you put into these little guys makes me happy. ❤
Thank you! I try my best!
Awe you two are so sweet🥺
I'm trying to rescue my fish. I wouldn't trust myself doing this. Too bad there isn't anything to just mix into the water to make them well
@@quetzalcoatul1 you could take them to a vet that takes care of goldfish
@@lukesgoldies
Luke
This is just so wholesome it melts my heart on how you care for animals that people would just throw away if that happened 💜

The chances of anyone seeing and using this comment is little but its for those who need it anyway
Please remember to change needles after poking. Once you have pierced something with a needle the point bends at the microscopic level, and becomes more painful to insert on the 2nd go. This becomes more noticable everytime the needle is reused. It also makes it harder for you to pierce as well. So please remember to change your needle after it's first use when poking animals.
Get a fish they say,
it's the best and easiest pet to start out with they say!!!
But seriously, I know it's been awhile but hope Loopy is doing well!!
Depends on the fish, I had a Betta fish I won that lived in humane conditions at a fair before I got it.
Lived for a long time, and was easy to take care of. Depends on the species of fish, because these fish in the video are prone to health issues such as this.
@@lexdraws1729 dumbass you’re so lazy you get a betta fish from a fair prob put it in a bowl you shouldn’t be talking
No, fish deserve as much if not more attention as a dog or cat, but you kids don’t understand that
@@EezoTheChezo second comment I see you talking shit, stop reflecting on people and mature dude, no one cares about your moral compass on who should and shouldn’t own a fish, get a fckn life
@@EezoTheChezo stop trolling already lmfao like what do you get out of trolling because your comment was so irrelevant and didn’t make a lick of sense 🙄
I'm about to do this surgery to my oranda I'm so scared. I've tried peas and epson salt bath already and I've come to the decision that this is the last option I have. Hopefully everything goes well.
I wish you luck! It could result in death, but sometimes risking death is worth it if the condition is that bad. I will pray for you.
So what happened?
i hope everything went well with your fish 🥺
It died didn't it?
Sooooo, what happened?
Never before have I felt so emotionally invested in the well-being of a goldfish until I came across your channel.
i saw the tiktok of loopy after the surgery and he looks SO much better
His bottom sore is already getting a lot better
I wanna like but its 69...
He’s so cute 🥺
Thank you.
Ikr🥺
he makes me the absolute happiest out of all the fish ❤️❤️ he’s sooooooo cute, love from Germany!!! ❤️
Thank you! Glad you like little loops!
I had a fish named Ruun. I noticed that he had a swelling stomach from time to time. The vet told us he had a illness. We ordered medicine for him to get better, before it arrived he died in front of me. Thankfully he's in a better place now.
May he Rest In Peace and live a amazing life in fish-heaven
May he remain in your heart!
I’ve had 3 platys die of Dropsey.... I’m not sure why, and no matter what I did (short of surgery, I’m not skilled enough to know ANY of that stuff), they died. 2 of the 3 were born and raised in my tank :(
Could you repeat the surgery if you needed to? After giving Loopy some time to heal of course.
It’s possible, the risk is high though.
Yes if he would be able to sustain multiple surgerys the problem could be resolved ... I think... Love you loopy ❤️
@@lukesgoldies why is that? because surgery is risky anyway, or do u mean it would be additionally risky to do it a second time?
What would happen if u removed TOO much air? Would his body eventually add more air, and fix it? Would he just have a tendency to sink instead of float? If so, would that be better, especially because he wouldn’t be forced to be in an awkward position, and would again naturally be in an upright position?
Also, how is he doing? I saw someone say his sore is gone and he’s doing a little better, but that’s pretty vague, and I wouldn’t have thought a fish could survive very long, with any amount of being forced to float, or have to expend energy all the time to keep from floating.
@@andrewpaige1194 from what little knowledge I know, they go up to the surface to get more air if the need it. Normally they can control it, and let go air as needed, but when it gets clogged or something then you can/do surgery. I also don’t know what I’m talking about, so I could be wrong
The problem is that each time clove oil is used on, it has significant health effects, as the time that a fish is unconscious it loses oxygen to the brain. Clove oil, if not used in moderation, can easily kill a fish (in fact, it is often used to humanely euthanize fish suffering from terrible illnesses).
If you cover his eyes with a damp towel, it will help keep him calm
This is why I don’t get fancy goldfish . They all end up like this . Floating to top . I think it’s because they keep gulping air at the top . Regular common goldfish or any other fish don’t have this problem
Do you have other fish instead? Our two work goldfish are both sick. One has dropsy and the other has swim bladder issues. I don't want goldfish anymore. What's a better option for an easier home tank?
@@snowps1 Guppies
I’ve had my calico butterfly goldfish for YEARS with no problems. He has 6 comet friends in his very large tank and they’ve all been well for years now too. (And massive) We feed them once daily flakes. However, we raised and kept tanks of African cichlids, and I swear every other week one of those darn things had a swim bladder issue. At $20 a fish it was hardly sustainable. I think it’s definitely breed based, and if you’re worried about them sucking air just feed less daily.
@@snowps1 betta fish
@@snowps1 do lots of research though
I came from instagram, I hate the ocean, but I love these little guys!
Hahaha
Never in a million years did I think I’d be watching damn goldfish videos, wincing/closing my eyes hoping this fat little guy is ok! All while elevator music plays in the background … glad I came across your channel.
Where all here for loopy i love loopy
I love these people who treat their fish like a part of their family.
I've seen a lot of things, but never did I think in my life that I'd get to see someone perform a surgery on a fish. Holy heck! 😂😂😂
Aww poor Loopy! That sore looked painful.
Hope loopy gets better!
Looking forward to more content 😊
Thank you!!
I have done this to so many of fish, just a tip from me, do this to both the sides of the fiSh with thinner needle. Go to a little bit belly area like 3 scales down from where u injected the needle, try slowly pressing the belly when sucking the air out.
Hi Dermian have u ever taken too much air? We did this but have taken too much we thinks as he is now on the bottom and has trouble getting any buoyancy. He can at least eat easier now .....
@@daneblackie4462 oo
Loopy is so adorable,get well soon,loopy!
One of my Red Cap Oranadas sadly has this. They were sold to me and one had that issue. Very small still so thinking to try this soon to relieve some pressure
Update on My Red Cap Oranda, Drained its Swim Bladder of .10 and fish sank. No longer stuck at top of tank, Fish is recovering and is healthy👌
@@InfinitiLuxurys yay!!!!
This was so cool, I love seeing how much you care about your goldfish.
Do you have to put him back in the water during the procedure to let him breathe? Im confused how he stayed out that long. I had to remove a rock from my goldfishes throat and I was so worried he was gonna smother while I was doing jt
Nope, he can stay out the whole time. Its a common misconception that goldfish need to be submerged in water to conduct oxygen exchange. As long as their gills remain wet and do not dry out, they can survive out of water for hours. Its not the same as a human under water, because as soon as our lungs fill up with water oxygen exchange stops, but for fish above water, their gills remain wet and oxygen exchange still happens.
@@lukesgoldies that is truly exceptional. Goldfish are so cool i never ever knew that. I learn something new everyday
Your goldfish just straight up ate a rock lol
I just hope they dont drown
I always watch fish cutting for eating 🍽 this is the first ever vd I have come across that someone treating cutie little fish. Hatts off. Keep up the good work.
And there a legend was born 0:00
I was looking for a comment saying that lol 😂
Any update on Loopy? Is he getting better? One of my oranda is in the same situation after a swim bladder drainage operation yesterday. He no longer floats belly up at the surface but swimming upside down in the water.
I just found your channel and have been bingeing on the videos. The way you care for these little guys is so heartwarming. We have a pet bunny named Peter but I've actually been wanting to get a couple of goldfish myself. ✨💜🐠
that's so cute ❤️
Right!! I had some betta fish but they died.. And then I gotta bunny
Praying for loopy!
Thank you!

I only have respect for this dude its so hard to do surgery on slippery fish in water
It’s a Tuesday night, and I’m watching a fish getting surgery, I’m not sure how this has happened
Aww poor thing! I’m glad he’s a big better now! ♥️♥️♥️
Commenting on this old video as you near your 1mil subscriber goal! What a journey it's been!
I’m here from TikTok I love your videos! You saved his life!
Thank you for watching!
I hope he recovered well!
You know an immersion blender might be really good for mixing in the clove oil.
Hi Luke, I thank you soooo sooo sooo much for this video - I have a yuan bao goldfish that had swim bladder issues since a few months - We reached a point where she could not even swim down to get her food and losing energy day by day. I looked up the anatomy of hers and the closest I got was the anatomy pics of an oranda. With the help of you and some further investigating I performed this operation as there is no vets anywhere around to to this. It worked…. She now swims normal and I am so happy. Thank you again ❤️🙏🏻
You don’t understand how helpful this is especially when I have a Ranchu and a pearlscale

Hoping for Loopy to make a swift recovery!
Thank you!
Wow, that was intense! So much more involved then when I saw this done on a fishing boat.
Someone caught a queen trigger fish (such beautiful fish) and the mate punctured the swim bladder with a sharp object, pushed the air out then threw it back. Fish swam away strong tho. It was the fishes best chance of survival.
Thanks to you I was able to remove the Wen from my lovely chocolate Oranda. He is doing well and stopped to rub on the ground to get rid of the overgrown Wen. ❤️
awwwww i hope he gets better soon! 🥺
may i also ask what is the cut he has on his stomach?
Right in the beginning I talk about that sore, its from too much air exposure from being on the surface constantly
my dad lost all his 8 red shubunkin goldfishes 3 weeks ago for some reason after taking care of them for 3 years. I wish we have seen your channel before that happened
Came across your videos while TH-cam surfing. I love them! Cute fishies!!!
thank u!
Great job Luke! I wonder how loopy is doing now
He looks so happy en relieved tho😊
Every one pray fro poor loopy
I just did this surgery on my oranda and I was so stressed out but it worked perfectly. I tried all the other methods for 2 weeks before doing this. Thanks for all the info I'm still stressed hoping I didnt hurt him and he makes it in the long term. Before he couldn't go down was facing down and couldnt go to the bottom. Now hes all the way at the bottom swimming perfect I might have taken to much out but hopefully it will correct itself. Way better than he was and is eating now.
Luke’s Goldies have the best owner known to man holy crap
My goldie is struggling with swim bladder right now. Really struggling. Trying my best
He looks so cute ☺️

I tried this once and it didn’t work for me. I only tried to do because my fish was getting a damaged spine due to it and started to get dropsy.
Ah yes, this is where the legend as started
This seems similar to needle chest decompression for tension pneumothorax, im glad that it has uses other than for humans
I miss u loppy ur in a better place buddy be strong 🕊
T^T
why am i watching fish surgery when i am supposed to study for exams
Thank you for helping the little guy out
this is where a legend started.
Always put water in before the oil, Please! Otherwise the oil sticks to the container, baggie, etc. I've watched several of your surgery videos. Good luck! 🤞
We appreciate loopy he is a strong fish!
I WANT UR FISH TO WATCH COCOMELON!
Aww poor lil cute fishy! :( hope he's all healed now :)
I just ordered a few dozen of weird goldfish types after seeing this video. Seems like a fun hobby
Get better soon Loopy your a real hero Luke I would hate it if this happened to my fish 🐠
This person spends a lot of time on their fish. I would love to be his fish
I used to have four fish tanks in my house and goldfish are my favorite but I never tried doing surgery on any of them or dissecting them when they were dead. I just put them in the toilet. It's good thing this channel wasn't around when I had all those fish tanks, I'd probably be a freaking fish surgeon LOL
a legend has been borned
Get well soon loopy
im from tiktok and love the fishies and im a fishie lover to

I love how he named him loopy but this fish is a bit a lot active 🐠🐟
I hope he gets better soon!
