Hi Jennie, I am so happy that you are now into Jikins and Watonai. I've always had them. I am very grateful to your blog, especially for introducing me to DandyOrandas. I've been ordering from Rain Garden as well. I suggest that you name your jikins and watonai from Roman/Greek/Egyptian/Norse gods and goddesses: eg Thor, Athena, etc. They are so cute and heavenly. Sincerely, Arvin
Jennie! Awesome video! I have been watching your vids for a while now in preparation for my first fancy goldfish tank. Thanks so much for all the information on proper fish keeping! I too really like butterfly telescopes but find so many of the fancy varieties beautiful! These jikins are an awesome mix. They are just as beautiful as the butterflies, but almost seem more wild. So pretty! Thanks for sharing!
I'm from the UK and I can't find anyone who sells, or has, Jikins. Obviously we're behind the USA by 20 years. Fish keepers, here, are crusty old men that smell of ditch water who trim their beards with lighters while banging on about the virtues of under gravel filters (drag yourselves into the 21st century - no one uses those anymore!). So we will probably get Jikins in about 10 years or so - sigh. Great videos, very informative and inspiring. Your fish look excellent.
you are one of my main inspirations for starting this youtube channel!!! i only started two days ago but its been super fun, your set ups are beautiful and i love your fishies, i admire you SO much
Thank you for all these updates Jennie! Is there a possibility of you talking about common goldfish illnesses and how to treat / prevent them in future videos? It's definitely one of the topics I'd want to learn more about from you 😁
I used to have a Muscovy duck named Helmethead :o He had the exact same markings as your fish, just.... in duck form..... Super happy to see these guys are doing so great!
Jikin, watonai and wakin goldies are the 3 longer bodied fancies that I would consider keeping and breeding if I had the space ^_^ There's just something really nice about their stout bodies and also having the double tail, I find :)
I really like the name carrot top! I hope you keep that name! Also thanks for all the info about the pattern and shape of different fish, very interesting! :D
I really like the Jikins!! and please get ranchu gold fish some day! those are my favorite!! And in case you don't remember me this is Mj from pet adventures (i did that review on your calendar! Love ya jenny!
If you're going for standard, the small female is the only one you should use. There are some really nice US bred jikins available that would pair well with the small female.
I have been into saltwater fish for a long time, but I have to say I adore your fish. I have never seen a butterfly telescope goldfish. Hope I got that right. They are very interesting, so beautiful and cute as can be. Sub'd. :)
Jikins are sooo gorgeous, ESP for ponds. Love how their butterfly tails move and definitely looks like butterflies, it's just gorgeous╰(*´︶`*)╯♡. I thought may be you can name one of them, "Butterfree" like the PoKéMoN butterfly only if you're familiar with PoKéMoN. Then, as your video ended, you started singing the PoKéMoN song and I was shocked to know that you like PoKéMoN, too. LOL. I really love all your videos and though I'm not a goldfish owner anymore, I had always loved Oranda, Calico Shubunkin and Calico Ryukin Goldfish. I even got them for my father a decade ago (only the Oranda I didn't get) and he loved them. Sadly, they got sick the same way your goldfish died from where they started floating - not all together but one at a time. First one got sick after 5yrs and the rest are a bit longer than her. We were all sad bout his goldfish'es death that they didn't last any longer than 10yrs. Ever since then, my father never wanted to have fish anymore. I guess he felt like he failed his goldfish which made him change his mind starting another aquarium. Before the goldfish, they had a 110gal custom-made tall fish tank with cichlids before the goldfish and he loved it, too. But since he's ageing, he could no longer keep up with the maintenance (sadly, my younger brother got tired helping him clean the tank) which is why he was sooo happy when I got him 2 Calico Ryukin and 1 Calico Shubunkin goldfish for his 29gal fish tank. Keep up the good work, Sweetie cuz you're doing great being a goldfish breeder and more. Made me think bout PoKéMoN also have breeders, too. But glad they're not real cuz I can't imagine anyone breeding that many kinds of PoKéMoN in real life LOL. Take care and much love from newest subscriber, JZiELLÉ💖💖💖💖
Hi Jen, could you please make a video about how to breed goldfish?😬 I've got some issues with breeding my fish and there is not really video on TH-cam how to do this..🤗 Cool video btw🙃
love your videos! could you make a video about goldfish diseases and how to treat them? i am planning on getting two fancy goldfish, but i have to get them from the petstore. could not find any decent breeders near where i live. i do plan on getting a 40 gallon tank for the pair and cycling the tank beforehand. but i'm scared even with all the correct preparations, i will end up with sick goldfish since they are from a petstore.
NOOOOOOOO NOW I MUST BE AN EMBARRASMENT TO MY FAMILY BY SCREAMING THE POKEMON THEME SONG AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS I CANT STOP MYSELF I LOVE IT TOO MUCH ❤️ 😭😍
I'm so sad :( I just went to order a solid gold calendar but it's so expensive! £47 including shipping. I would have loved it. Keep up the good work Jennie but please look at your overseas postage costs!
hello beautiful. In the video you said your 2016 calendars are still available. Just thought I'd let you know since it's your 2017 calendars. hugs hugs
you should name the fish after different types of fruit! Momo/peach Bumble(even though thats technically not a berry) boysen Goji Persimmon Kokum mulberry

Hi Jennie, Can you please make a video which tells how to clean the imtex pool. It is very difficult for me to clean it. I will be very happy and greatful if you please make a video regarding this. Thanks, Raghav Gandhi
if your fish is breathing air at the surface of the water that is very bad, it can be due to low oxygen levels in the tank, if so add in an air pump, this creates surface movement which helps oxygen enter the water and carbon dioxide leave the water. breathing air at the surface is never normal for goldfish, and is a bad sign. are you feeding him floating foods like flakes, this encourages bad habits like going to the surface, and gulping up air, when its hungry. this can lead to floatyness and turning your fish to the side or up side down. if your aquarium has lots of surface movement, and the food that your feeding him doesn't float. then it could be due to a true swim issues, in which case there's not much you can do.
i barely learned about the Wakin and love this breed, the Jikin is absolutely amazing. i just love these elongated body goldfishes and their colors.
nice vid i subscribed keep up the good work 😁😁😁
Love your vids😘

Happy New Year, 2017! Great tutorial.
Theme "prom". Made me look at the lip stick. Ones. And the way they swim. Good luck.
I like your video!!
Love grimm!
I do remember these for sale in Russia ages ago.

YESSSS NEVER CLICKED SO QUICKLY. I've been waiting for this! Your fish are so beautiful!
Yay! Another video!
you have a beautiful singing voice!
I used to have a Muscovy duck named Helmethead :o
He had the exact same markings as your fish, just.... in duck form..... Super happy to see these guys are doing so great!
They are so cute!

Never seen these guys but they are really cool! I wish they were more common!
I really like the name carrot top! I hope you keep that name! Also thanks for all the info about the pattern and shape of different fish, very interesting! :D
I think Blush or Bashful would be a cute name for the smaller female with the shorter peduncle. She's got the cutest lil blush marks!
Jennie I'm so excited for you to breed your jikin! I would love to maybe buy one when the time comes around!
I really like the Jikins!! and please get ranchu gold fish some day! those are my favorite!! And in case you don't remember me this is Mj from pet adventures (i did that review on your calendar! Love ya jenny!
beautiful !! goldfish i mean :)
Wowwwww. You made my day by singing the "Pokemon" song.....I just loved POKEMON....
the pokemon part made it for me !! :)
If you're going for standard, the small female is the only one you should use. There are some really nice US bred jikins available that would pair well with the small female.
Jikins looks similar in body as a common goldfish, except for the rear tail.....
Actually I love those goldfish, looks soo preety..... : )
You sing very well
I have been into saltwater fish for a long time, but I have to say I adore your fish. I have never seen a butterfly telescope goldfish. Hope I got that right. They are very interesting, so beautiful and cute as can be. Sub'd. :)
the four seasons theme
Nice singing voice there.

tango from the helmet one ,one female jinx, diamond for the other female and the other male gold bar
Some themes could be planets, gods/godesses, countries (a fish named China would be cute c:), types of dances (polka :3).
Now you have to do a Pokémon theme for them

Great video! Love those fish! Where did u get the ceramic goldfish behind you in your intros ! I would like a betta one!:)

It would be really nice to see a room full of those bigger tubs with more variety! :D
2:10 who else saw WABAM!
Charlotte, fern, templeton, and Wilbur.
Maybe you could try a star wars theme for their names. Or, name them after fruits...
Hawaiian themed names!!
You should name the jikins for old-time movie stars.
I'm so sad :( I just went to order a solid gold calendar but it's so expensive! £47 including shipping. I would have loved it. Keep up the good work Jennie but please look at your overseas postage costs!
Planets would be cool! Like Pluto, Mercury ect..

Hopefully she buys some ranchus one day :)
I would describe it as a flower tail gold fish
Since you liked carrot top for one, go with a comedian theme...Mckinnon, Silverman, Chappelle
I would go with royalty names like Knight for the helmet marked male.
I have been looking for Jikin for a long time, but I am waiting for a nice setup for them. They are so adorable.
Omg those Jikins are so freakin adorable!! suuuper cute fish
Do a celestial theme. Star, Comet, Luna, Sol, Andromeda etc.

Momo/peach
Bumble(even though thats technically not a berry)
boysen
Goji

FireEmblemPlasticPlates i used to think a feebas was a potato with fins lol

You should name the big female Kasatka, the smaller female Kalia, and the two males either Tuar or Kyuquot ( ky-yu-kit) :D
You should name them after the F•R•I•E•N•D•S cast so like: Joey, Monica, phoebe, Ross.
Hi soy de argentina! Me encanta tu canal . A quien le compras?
If you're a Harry Potter fan you should name them Moony,Padfoot,Wormtail and Prongs.

Hi Jennie,
Can you please make a video which tells how to clean the imtex pool. It is very difficult for me to clean it. I will be very happy and greatful if you please make a video regarding this.
Thanks,
Raghav Gandhi
name 'em Genbu, Suzaku, Seiryu, and Byakko
Solid Gold Aquatics. Clover tail is what I've been told.
I just got a brown jikin goldfish
How about naming then after Only Fools and Horses characters? Del boy, Marlene and Cassandra not to mention Rodney, Boycie and Trigger.
Anyone know how to treat a goldfish that is lying on it's side but still breathing at the surface of the tank?
if your fish is breathing air at the surface of the water that is very bad, it can be due to low oxygen levels in the tank, if so add in an air pump, this creates surface movement which helps oxygen enter the water and carbon dioxide leave the water.
breathing air at the surface is never normal for goldfish, and is a bad sign. are you feeding him floating foods like flakes, this encourages bad habits like going to the surface, and gulping up air, when its hungry. this can lead to floatyness and turning your fish to the side or up side down.
if your aquarium has lots of surface movement, and the food that your feeding him doesn't float. then it could be due to a true swim issues, in which case there's not much you can do.
great video👍👍👍new subscriber are these rare Jenkins for sale????
