Cory: "goldfish are the best cleaner fish for an aquarium!" Cory's goldfish: 11:12 In all seriousness, goldfish are very useful when it comes to ridding a tank/pond of algae and other unwanted plant matter, although I'm not entirely sold on the idea of "the best cleaner fish". When used right, they are definitely beneficial, but that tagline might give some people the idea that getting a goldfish is always a good idea, Though I have now reconsidered getting some panda orandas thanks to this video. keep up the good work you guys, and thanks as always for the super insightful and educational content.
@Aquarium Co-Op I had been taught not to have goldfish in homes with small children, due to zoonotic issues... so in over 4 decades of fish keeping I have *never* had goldfish. I am reconsidering that decision, now. If I can ever get duckweed to reproduce faster than the turtle eats it, I will probably be getting a goldfish, next. My spouse made me promise not to get any with the bubble eyes or heads. Apparently there is a history there that I am unaware of, lol.
I love goldfish. I have 7 feeder goldfish in a pond that i saved 2 years ago... They're like 6" now. Currently hiding under the ice, but can't wait to see them again.
I have 3 large fancies in a 75 gallon and they always get my excess duckweed and plant trimmings from the other tanks. I agree so much with this video!
Love when you make goldfish content for the goldfish obsessed like myself! I agree that goldfish are very clean, your goldfish are very beautiful also by the way
The ones that were brown/black as baby's are so pretty now, I like their colour more then the orange you usually see, because they look like they are actually made out of gold.
Cory!! There are no channels that talk about goldfish anymore! I know u love them. Maybe we could do some more videos on them! I have a 300L with 4 fancies I love them!!!! Recently lost two that pineconed. Stable tank... I dont know what happened. Someone said cause I fed bloodworms... internal bacteria. Love your videos. Take care
I keep comet goldfish in my turtle tank and they 100% help me keep that tank clean, and they are too fast fort he turtles to catch. Also helps that I keep the turtles well fed!
One of the best videos from you guys ever in my opinion. Love the way it was made. I have heard Cory talk about this for years but to see it documented in this quick, fun but educational way was super duper awesome. More like this please !
I too accidentally realised that keeping goldfishes helps keeps algae and duckweeds at bay. And they do agitate the substrate enough for the sponge filters to get to those tiny debris that settles on top of it.
Good video! I like to keep 2 fancy goldfish in each of my Discus tanks. Discus are very messy fish and the goldfish take care of that. As I understand it, when a Discus poops it is 45% protean remaining. The goldfish eat that and their poop is %5 protean remaining. Tanks stay very clean since I added the goldfish a year ago. Plus the discus just like the calm, silly attitudes of the fancy goldfish.
I have 3 55 gallon tanks 5 for each tank plus a 29 gallon with some smaller goldfish.Plus I have some koi fish in another tank.It’s all on my channel DailyFishChat
I can't seem to grow duckweed. Weird, I know. My LFS gave me some for free, but it's been a few months and what they gave me barely grew, and is mostly rotting.
@@Yonatan24 do you have Vallisneria in your tank maybe? Because Val is known to inhibit growth of duckweed via allelopathy (very nerdy bit of science 🤓)
I appreciate you. Out of all the TH-camrs out there... I find that you are the greatest for hobby building. It’s fun to see all the lambos around but it is way more helpful to see how to keep your current car working and how it is still as fun.
I would appreciate some input. I live in the tropics, but at my specific location it is a cool climate. I put in a 28,000 gallon lagoon hoping to have tropicals, but it's too cold, and I can't heat that much water. So I "settled" on goldfish. The lagoon has a swimming pool skimmer and I've set up a under rock tube with holes so I can pump scum from the bottom out. The skimmer water goes to a bio filter that is about 1/3rd the size of the lagoon. Over the time it has taken to get the biofilter in full growth mode, the lagoon has developed an algae that's an evergreen color and is powdery. I've put in 15 goldfish. They seem to be happy eating the green powder algae. I live beside a lake and can catch several types of Central American cichlids and a small type olive green pleco. I want the lagoon to be as maintenance free as possible. Fresh water is pumped in from the lake directly to the bio filter. I can collect floating plants and water lilies. I'm debating whether to put down a substrate or not. The concrete has developed a blotchy copperish color that I like. I'd like to get a wild snail population going and wild shrimps. Just wondering if anyone has any words of advice. Devices easily obtainable in the US are not available here. Can't find any underwater plants.
Wow this changed my perspective on goldfish. I am one of those people who also told everyone how dirty and messy goldfishes are which was told to me be others. Man I appreciate Cory doing these experiments and showing people this.
Yeah, I was told (as a teen who just got hired at a LFS) never have goldfish with young children in the home. That the water goldfish live in is an issue. Now I am researching that, because Cory just challenged everything I had ever been taught about goldfish. Zoonotic diseases in the aquarium trade are not discussed nearly enough.... and we need to teach how to be responsible, respectful and ethical, instead of wielding fear of diseases as a weapon.
Crazy seeing algae pearling. Never seen that. Love the power of goldfish. I want to set up a little "panda" tank with some panda goldfish and panda corys.
The goldfish play-dough is also the best fertilizer in the market for gardens. I was googling fish fertilizers and was reading about carp in Europe and trout that the Native Americans were using. Turns out goldfish poop as a general fertilizer has the most nutrients.
It worked! 10g was getting covered in hair algae so I put the beta that lives there in another tank and moved my smallest Goldie in (same size, but obviously blocky build). That fish had it 90% gone in less than a week.
Pondkeeper trivia... Have tanks with lids or ponds with good overhang edges as during seasonal breeding the males can accidentally push the females out of the pond. Over the years I've found a few outside my pond and rescued them buy holding them in the waterfall stream until they come back to life. Sometimes it works but sometimes they were out of water too long. Tough fish though.
I concur. We have a few of them in sumps in our Xenopus frog facility at work because of ongoing midges infestation. They keep the insects in check and the sumps meticulously clean. Might bring them some duckweed, now that I have some :)
I have an 80 gallon with 20 huge comets, 2 raphael cats and a 16" pleco. It is my favorite tank, a lot of filtration and water changes, but they are so fun!
Incredible, I've been looking for a 'cleaning crew' and all the time I've had one! At last 'Goldfish' are proving just how good of a fish they 'really are'. 👍😷👍
Cory just holding and smushing green poop in his hands as if its a totally normal thing to do :'D . Joking aside, very cool to see how quickly they were able to clean things up for you. Thanks!
I also work good for removing unwanted smells from an aquarium it's taking over I want the valor all of the snails that's what I like about a goldfish natural cleaning of the tank love your channel by the way I love aquariums
Great, I keep goldfish and we need more people to understand how great they are, not very many people know how to keep them, and we don’t see a lot information about goldfish I. General
I keep duckweed on most of my tanks. About once a month I harvest it and toss it in my son’s carnival game prize a.k.a. Feeder goldfish tank. He won that thing 3 years ago and it lives like a king 🤴. I love that set up since this is the only fish not in my fish room I never remember to feed it but I don’t have to when it has a fridge full of duckweed. I’ve managed to turn most pests in my fish room to food. Once a month I also harvest the 100’s of snails that have accumulated and feed them to my Razorback musk turtles and clown loaches.
How useful these little goof balls are. I had goldfish as a child (poorly kept though 😞) and never even knew they ate vegetation either. I’ve come a long way since then lol. One day when I can get a bigger tank I’ll get goldfish again!
I keep commons with my turtles as a clean up crew... occasionally they get eaten but they do a great job cleaning up any messes or debris from the turtles. My fancy goldfish tank always looks great because they do such a great job.
We loved our goldfish, they were from a group of feeder fish we saved and they had the best personalities. One passed at 15 years (Ghost) and the other passed at 18 years (Charlie).
@cory you should give juvenile Tropheus a chance. From my personal experience, I got away with Hair Algae/Pond Algae with a single specimen of Tropheus. The fish wouldn't touch plants. Should give it a try
Love this video! Im slowly winning the war on algea in my goldfish tank and the little guys are certainly doing their part to keep the substrate clean. If I could only teach them to scrape the glass...hmmm....
Yup no stone unturned with them. 😁👍 You forgot to mention that Comets/feeder goldfish can get REALLY BIG fast. In the pond I had they were a foot long and one koi hybrid I had was easily twice that size. 75 gal minimum and 200 +gal min if in a school of half a dozen. Ones bio load will also be insane with them, so more water and more filtration the better. So I personally consider them pond fish only. Also they like colder water (50F to 75F) and hot tropical fish water is bad for their nervous systems and probably dies not have enough oxygen for them. It's a shame they don't stay small as I prefer them over the fancy types as they are really cool fish and even trainable.
Nice video cory Iv just set 2 ponds like this up in my fish room in my basement for african cichild fry grow out it’s 320l so around 80 gallons do you think it’s a good idear to use the ponds for african cichilds I no you use them for all sorts of fish I have been going through all the old videos and live stream their is always something I miss in a video lol keep up the grate work
good stuff! I've been using duck week for a treat for my goldfish. I'm starting to loose control of it though in the takes I grow it in; might need to have to let my goldfish take a tour of the tanks! -thanks Corey!
Hello! I have a question, I also have a goldfish and I’ve recently been interested in planting his tank with live aquatic plants. I’m wondering how fast this grows? I only have one tank so I don’t know if he’d just eat all of it so it’d be a waste of time trying to set up duckweed in his tank. Or could I possibly put it in another container to let it grow out then take some and put it in the tank etc? Thanks! ☺️
This might have seemed like a relatively “simple” video to make, but this is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this channel for some reason. I had no idea goldfish were so useful and workman-like. Here I just thought they were pretty. Lol. Now I’m wondering what other workhorse fish are out there that I could use in my life.
A video like this takes a couple months, filming every few days to get the right parts to illustrate the point. Not hard just more effort than simply telling people this works as I have for years :p
Makes me want to go out and get gold fish for my fish room. Have been doing something similar with gold fish in the big stock watering tub for the horses and cows they do a great job on mosquito larvae and larger bugs . I haven’t had a green water problem since I started using them in the tank. They seem to winter well with the tank heater and when they get to big I have a farm pond for them and I go get more at pet store.
John Wood, I also had a couple of comet goldfish in my horse's water tank in his field. Didn't work too well as one day I saw a heron perched on the tank and it took the fish out. Needless to say, I had to scrub the tank every other day,,,(With regards to the horse, I was a clean freak!)
@@rosemarydudley9954 sorry it didn’t work for you,ours is under the branches of a willow tree and I don’t think with their wing span the heron like going under it to get to the tank.
Shoot I didn't even think about that!! I'm a freaking fish beard did not think about that. Eerg. Sorry that happened, maybe help feed the wildlife? Nope ahh darn.
Playing MegAquarium; Freshwater Frenzy, listening to an Aquarium channel, glancing lovingly at my Betta, Boris, in his tank whenever he's out from his hide. I might have a problem.
Cory, side note since I saw these in your tanks...Can you make your rock plant holder in black? 😃 I bought one and really love it but another tank I have has black rock and would like to match!
Iv'e always known goldfish eat plants that's common information, I actually always wanted to do a gold fish tank, but i'm not sure if it will get along with my other predator fish.
Eventually my red ears got any fish that went to "live" with them. I found water temperature to be the trickiest part of using gold fish with other fish as the gold fish really preferred colder water than what the rest were happy with. . .
Are you tempted to get some goldfish now?

Duckweed is just basically free high quality goldfish food :))

I think this is a new one for most of us. Great video and accurate comment.
💯👍
I agree, Learned something new
I love goldfish. I have 7 feeder goldfish in a pond that i saved 2 years ago... They're like 6" now. Currently hiding under the ice, but can't wait to see them again.
i have some common feeders in my pond that are about the same size and probably 15-20 years old. always makes me sad seeing them used as live food
I'd never expect to see "goldfish" and "cleaner" in the same sentence
Yea my male comment likes to drop logs across the tank mind blowing. think I need to train. Him better
Great video. I always said goldfish are great cleaners and people always look at me like I’m crazy
I have 3 large fancies in a 75 gallon and they always get my excess duckweed and plant trimmings from the other tanks. I agree so much with this video!
A feeder goldfish I was given as a kid was my intro into the entire fishkeeping hobby that I now love.

The ones that were brown/black as baby's are so pretty now, I like their colour more then the orange you usually see, because they look like they are actually made out of gold.
I also love this about you, Cory...you never take anyone’s word for it until you try it out for yourself. Keep up the great work!
I use a massive commet in my arowana tank to eat up any leftovers

Agreed goldfish are amazing and underrated, little water pups
Hope they have enough space
Yes all my fish are great plenty of space👍
I grow duckweed in one tank and feed it to my goldfish in another tank.
natural gold fish flakes
Me too!

In what context?
Great vid! The way you describe everything makes so much sense👌🏼👌🏼
Love the time lapse quality of this video. Seeing how things go over time is great.
Dang, then I will need a dedicated tank for when they aren't working for me. Thanks Cory🙄

I make sure to always have a small spawn on my golfish for this reason. The ducked is great for their growth and cleans my tanks

I learned something new today. Cool new information about goldfish.
I absolutely love my goldfish, I have to add duckweed to my ponds so they have some snacks. Thanks Coopy
They’re getting some good color. It seems like they were bronze when they entered the 125 and gold by the end of the video.
Where did you get those totes? I used to know when you were putting the room together.
This might have seemed like a relatively “simple” video to make, but this is one of the best videos I’ve seen on this channel for some reason.
I had no idea goldfish were so useful and workman-like. Here I just thought they were pretty. Lol.
Now I’m wondering what other workhorse fish are out there that I could use in my life.

Surprising how well they dealt with the duckweed.
Thanks for the advice and publish it.
Great info. Thanks for sharing! Long live Aquarium Coop;! - Little Bobby
Going to have to try this thanks for the info
Could you do a video on rainbow snakeheads if you have had experience with them? Or maybe Dean trying to spawn them?
i love your analogy of goldfish acting like little dogs
When my tanks become over done with duck weed, I feed them to my comets.
Good information!
Cory, side note since I saw these in your tanks...Can you make your rock plant holder in black? 😃 I bought one and really love it but another tank I have has black rock and would like to match!
Thanks for changing my perspective on the goldfish. I definitely believed they're dirty.
I take all of the dirty water that I siphoned out of my aquariums and use it to water all of my houseplants.
Same I have beautiful plants!
Iv'e always known goldfish eat plants that's common information, I actually always wanted to do a gold fish tank, but i'm not sure if it will get along with my other predator fish.
Goldfish getting the Respect :)
Cool - love those busy busy goldfish
Eventually my red ears got any fish that went to "live" with them. I found water temperature to be the trickiest part of using gold fish with other fish as the gold fish really preferred colder water than what the rest were happy with. . .
There is a beauty to this fish keeping plants
Goldfish are great to use in production ponds to work on pond algae
Cory, very interesting video, thank you - from NYC
