Well, well, well Look who it is 😎 Lei, so good to see you active again. As you know I find your video topics fascinating so thorough and insightful. I had a quick question regarding the stimulation of spring spawning. I’ve always thought that one of the triggers for spawning behaviour was that change in water temperature from winter temps to spring temperatures and of course for the fall spawn the change from late summer to fall water temperatures. Those deltas in temperature are readily achieved by nature as the season change great if your set up is outside or is a an artificial or natural pond. What does the research/data indicate are the minimum deltas required for triggering initiation of spawning behaviour, ovulation and having a successful spawning for indoor setup? From what I understand it can be tricky to achieve even for seasoned fish keepers and is complicated by other factors such as breed of fish and where parent fish were spawned and raised? This line of thought also had me thinking that breeding fish in subtropical areas such as Thailand, India and areas China or even Florida has to be a challenge when the key biological trigger for reproduction is that “seasonal” delta in temperature when everyday is a sunny and swelteringly humid mid to high 30C? Do the breeders induce spawning by manipulating the pond/pool temperatures in some fashion or have they found ingenious and top secret technique to get these critters to start thinking about love? Again, so thankful for your return to the TH-cam-verse and it is, as always, super fun to talk with you again. Be well my friend and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas season.
Hi Lei, it's a pleasure to see you again and hear your accurate report on water temperatures affecting fish. Having lived and worked in Thailand for many years, I remember well the seasonality and temperatures in that country and the many intensive outdoor tropical fish farms. Thank you for this study and report. Happy Sunday.
hey, welcome back !!! great to see new videos coming out! The information you're giving is amazing. will u be doing a beginner guide soon? thank u so much!
Thank you my friend. Yep, it has been a while. I don't have it on my plan. I feel there are so many existing instruction videos on YT talking about the beginner guide. not sure which particular sub topics you are interested
Great info Lei, as a general rule of thumb and to be on the safe side I always heat goldfish with 2 tails. If it's a single tailed fish like Commons, Comets and Shubunkins I wouldn't heat them, unless like you said, I get a fall spawn. I also drastically reduce feeding in the unheated tanks. This is the time of the year when you read a lot of post about people with floating or sinking fish. It was a pleasant surprise to see your post this morning I hope all is well.👍
Hi my Houston fish buddy, glad to see you. Just visited and hit your 🔔. Your goldfish tanks are gorgeous! Keep up your vlogging. I’ like to meet you and visit your fish room one day!
Welcome back Lei 老师! I have success conditioning Thai fish to winter. I live in Houston and our winters are mild. They sleep in the cold no heater for 2 months and I bring them inside to wake up and begin breeding in January.
Hi Lei, I live in a place where the average temperature is 30c to 32c. Is it suitable for Ranchu gold fish? We have the majority of Ranchu imported from Thailand.
Question: Will thai fish spawn all year around if kept around 25c? or they still need some temperature drop to stimulate spawning? And how much drop in temp is required? Thanks for the video!
should never heat up water for Goldfish,Or they get very sick,End up dead,Goldfish will live in gold water,Dont need to heat up the water,Hope you dont own any pets if you going to do this
He visto tus vídeos de principio a fin pensando que nunca mas subirías vídeos. Muy buenos consejos y espero que siga con el contenido de Goldfish. Saludos desde Lima Perú.
gracias amigo por ver el video completo 🇵🇪.Siempre quiero hacer más si mi tiempo lo permite. Me ocupé de varias cosas, familia y trabajo. El próximo sábado debería publicarse un vídeo más.

Thank you my dear friend Marco! Glad to read your comments
Welcome back. Enjoy your informative lectures!
Thanks
Happy to see you’re back!
Thank you my friend. It’s been a while.
It’s been awhile since we see you. Welcome back
Yep. Thanks! Long time no see. I am trying to make some videos during the holiday
Great video glad to see you back!
Hi buddy, Thank you! I like your new weekly series of goldfish Odyssey.

Danny, it has been a while. Thank you for taking time to leave this long feedback! Thank you for your tips!
Welcome back Lei! Been watching your videos as reference to raise goldfish. Live in Houston so I’m trying to let them chill in the winter as well
Hi my Houston fish buddy, glad to see you. Just visited and hit your 🔔. Your goldfish tanks are gorgeous! Keep up your vlogging. I’ like to meet you and visit your fish room one day!
@@GoldfishCorner that’d be an honor Lei! Would love to join and learn more about goldfish from you
It has been too long! I have missed your videos.
Thank you Kay!! Long time no see!

Thank you my friend! Glad to hear you got the winter care right for your Thai goldfish. Looks like we live not far from each other.
@@GoldfishCorner we must meet one day!

Typically Thai Goldfish spawn twice a year. Drop temp no lower than 20C should be safe to stimulate the breeding behavior
my ph is 8.2 is too high ? thanks
Too high. While Goldfish will adjust to many pH levels, they do best at a pH of 7 - 7.5
@@GoldfishCorner thanks
