    This is a great video, I've only ever had goldfish. They're the only aquatic animal I have and will ever own. Mine are between the ages of 5-10 years now and they'll actually point their heads down, tails up and splash water out of the tank until i physically interact with them. Yes, my goldfish do legitimately love being touched by me personally, no joke. I have to add 2 gallons of water to my tank EVERYDAY because of this. That's a lot of water for them to send out the tank every single day. But it's really cute and heart melting when they do that and the water addition and clean up of the spill they created is way more than well worth it. I love goldfish, comets in particular and they're just fantastic. If you want to get your goldfish to act like this, try to NOT use a NET, they hate nets. Use your bare hands, you'll build up their trust, and eventually they will react like that or similar because they now know your hand isn't gonna harm them because you've "Literally handled them for their whole life". To do this, you just have to have patients, persistence and you've got to be really gentile with them and they'll come over to you.

      @@gohanis Definitely a great idea, also here's a tip. It's really healthy for them if you vary their diet, it WILL make them much healthier and they will live much longer. Try occasionally from time to time going to the grocery store and buying unseasoned salmon, shrimp, trout, flounder anything really, slice it up and give it to him after you rinse it off and after you've had him for about 6 months. They love it, I've been giving them these types of foods for years. Good luck with Blue, he'll do just fine

      gold fish can lure you by begging food on the surface as if grasping air and short of breath, if they can do that to me, they're intelligent enough to know you're a danger to them. Typical goldfish will rush on the aquarium glass right on your face when they see you.

    added a new goldie to my tank since the old one died, the "veteran" goldie swam up to them right away and now theyre following eachother around
    it doesnt appear to be mating behavior, and they arent nipping or being aggressive, just willingly following eachother around extremely close
    they even sat next to eachother for a solid 5 seconds looking at eachother and it almost seemed like a hug
    i know the vet's been lonely since their buddy passed away, and the newbie has been alone in a quarentine tank for the last 2 weeks, i think they enjoy being with another fish again, especially after staring at eachother thru the glass for the past two weeks (theres other fish in the tank but only two goldies)

    My single male common goldfish swim back and forth in the tank in my 50 gallons tank. Thought he was bored. So I put a wave maker. But he still keep doing the same thing. This happened when I added 4 doctor fish in there. My male Goldy sometimes doesn't mind them in there but sometimes he would try to keep them away from his sight, not chase them. I started to think he likes being himself. Plus my doctor fish actually eats faster than he does even for a common. Perhaps they upsets him for invading his personal space?
    It sucks cuz I bought those doctor fish on my bday. They help me clean the tank in taking away the algae etc...

    I thought that I remembered reading that sometimes they float at the top when they have a issue with their swim bladder, an organ that is supposed to help them move up and down in the water, from a feeding issue that could be resolved by stopping feeding or feeding them cooked shelled peas. Is that also true? I didn't see it mentioned in the video.

    I have this shebunkin goldfish which is only small and is about 5 months old now. We had about 7 big goldfish including shebunkins but right as this little one was born the rest got eaten up by a heron because we keep them in a outdoor pond. We tried putting a net over and objects to scare the heron away once he got the first few but it didnt work. even though this little one made it we didnt know he survived until he grew big enough to see but after a while we lost sight of him and we thought we lost him too.
    We just emptied out the pond and found him at the bottom. Hes pretty lively and is moving around but hes stuck at the bottom and cant swim up. He just slowly swims around on the ground, which is probably how hes been feeding recently. Hes still able to move and turn okay but wont move from the floor even once weve put food in the pond for him. He doesnt look abnormal in any way and doesnt appear to be swollen. Any ideas on whats causing this and how to treat him? Hes kept in an outdoor pond usually gets cleaning out every few months but has recently not been because we thought he was gone too. Im wondering if that is the cause like said in the video? But he isnt in a tank so idk if it still applies

    They’re in a tank that measures 5 and a half feet long by 2 and a half feet tall by 2 feed front to back roughly 730 Litres, while the others are swimming the entirety of the tank he’s swimming back and forth along the back glass at a substantial speed.

      I’m no professional, but that sounds like glass surfing to me. Fish do that when they’re either stressed (such as when introduced to a new environment), or if they see their reflection. My Betta glass surfed a lot when he was first acclimated, as they’re naturally territorial and it was someplace new. It might help to get plants/decorations to distract them. Hope this is useful. :)

    My goldfish tank has a ph problem. So I noticed the fish were acting weird like swimming into the walls super fast, splashing the water, staying still and fins tucked in. I took them out and put them in a bucket for a few days to put crushed coral in the tank and it raised from 6.0 to 6.6 so I thought it would be fine to add them to the tank. Now they’re still swimming into walls, staying still, sit at the bottom of the tank sometimes, splashing water and just acting weird like starring at the walls. I clean the tank often but not too often, I check the ammonia levels and nitrate stuff but it’s all 0. My one goldfish also stay towards the top of the water. I’m not sure what to do.

      @@galacloud6793 yes the tanks are much better. I was able to figure out how to raise it to the perfect amount. What I did was get some of crush coral substrate and I mixed it with my sand substrate in the tank. It can also be put into a filter bag and put into ur filter and it can help with the PH. It makes sure the PH is always at 7.0-7.5. My fish have been acting wayyyy normal now and in fact thrive. Those same goldfish are in the tank and now they’re super active and for some reason my big fat goldfish would just stare at me at night. At first it was concerning bc I thought it was a health problem but nope. He’s just weird 😂😂😂

      Nitrate levels too high? Do lots of large water changes daily until you see improvement. Depending on the size of the other fish, your filtration system and what decorations you have, you should be doing roughly 20-30% water changes every 5-7 days. Goldfish eat a lot and poop just as much!

Snails as tank mates for goldfish aren't recommend, I've heard many people complain that their fish ate the snail that they added in its tank. This might take place after days, weeks, months EVEN YEARS. Keep appropriate tank mates ALWAYS to stay away from such problems.

A bowl is never really a very good habitat for goldfish. Filter and Oxy is also very important. I use mineral water for a cleaner water, 1 filter system and 1 oxy. I have 3 different fish foods I use alternatively so they don't get bored with their food. I feed them 3 times a day in very small amounts. Lastly, don't overcrowd your aquarium with designs/ornaments. I hope you don't lose hope in taking care goldfishes. They're beautiful and quirky creatures.
