Ryukin Goldfish Growth and Change

  • This is my male ryukin goldfish, Clover. He was purchased in April 2011 from Dandy Orandas through the auctions on Goldfish Connection (goldfishconnection.com). He cost me about $20, and I mainly just added him to my order to make the shipping cost more worthwhile. Since then he has surprised me by going through a major growth spurt and becoming one of my favorite goldfish ever. Watch his transformation from a small fry to a big fish!
    April 2011 he was 2.5" in total length and weighed 20 grams.
    October 2012 he was 7" in total length and weighed 100 grams.

    You should do more of these videos focusing on one fish growth. I think it's very interesting

    He went through a time where he didn't grow much because I was underfeeding him and didn't realize it. So he looked kind of scrawny and wasn't developing to his full potential at that time.

    this was cool, i dug a 800 gallon pond about a month ago, today i put a bunch of plants in it and i put a black moor, and 2 rukin (how ever its spelled) goldfish in there that were all three about 1 inch long ( they were hell of alot cheaper then the 30 dollar big boys.) i think i will take pictures of them and then at the end of the summer if they are all ok i will bring them inside and film them like you did! cheers

      my fish from that year got eaten by predators :-( i dont even remember writing that^^ but I might as well update everyone who happens to give a shit, haha this past summer i made the pond over 1100 gallons. this year they are looking good! i just brought my fanncy goldfish in for the winter and they survived the summer so im really happy. i love goldfish just like this chick but they need ponds.. i hate bringing them in.. goldfish are so peaceful and deserve to be treated like any other pet.. cheers and good luck with your fish keeping!!

      I'd recommend commons, comets, and shubunkins for outdoor ponds. They swim faster.

      I was told they are very docile or at least semi aggressive. I've had over 40 different species of fish (Oscar's being one of them) and I have never had a fish that was so aggressive. 4 of the 6 I had were killers and dogged anything in its path. Tank size and food was plentiful. Didnt over stock.

  • @flashofpink
    @flashofpink  11 років тому +1

    Yes, it's very common for goldfish to change color! :) The yellow color he has gotten recently is from the food I'm feeding him (Repashy Soilent Green), which has a lot of algae in it.

      @geoflower6340 9 років тому

      +BurningCold Animals (Dez) Her goldfish in this video are ryukins, not orandas, although they can be ver similar in body shape as the two types are both fancy goldfish, orandas, as you have said develop head growths called "wens" whereas ryukins dont, their heads are like regular goldfish and more straight and pointy, a major difference between the two is that ryukins have a hump between the head and the dorsal fin, i have never owned a ryukin myself but before buying my oranda and blackmoor i did some research on fancy goldfish breeds. And yeah alot of fancy breeds and regular goldfish are pretty small at the pet store mostly because their young, if they have different sizes the price usually goes up as the size increases, i saw an adult oranda, wen and all for sale and it was £50 at my local Pets at Home. Hope this was useful x
