How does one tell the difference between pregnancy and dropsy? My koi and goldfish aren't old enough to breed yet, but I don't want to panic if one gets eggs. (Also, tadpoles in the tank!)
You should install floodlights like for driveways above the tanks Space them out taking advantage of their wide spread They’re like 30 $40 a piece on the high end and you’d probably only need 10
I completely agree with that "you just gotta do it" speech. At the end of the day, your pets rely on you for everything. There are so many ways to make the care a little easier, but you still need to be there for them even if it isn't fun. Plus, doing the "boring" parts gives you more time for the interesting parts!
Have the goldfish play soccer with a mini soccer ball by filling it partially with water so it floats enough for them to bounce it but enough to sink in the water. Like hitting a air balloon to bounce it but the underwater fish version.
Still advocating for showing off your best baby/juvenile Goldies in that 120gal. I think it'd be a great place to display your standout babies before they're put into the breeding program 😊 Also I'm SO excited for the little Igglybuffs that are hopefully on the way 🥰🥰🤍🤍
How do you find the motivation? Their cute wiggling adorableness is your motivation. Making sure they are alive and healthy and growing still the next day for you to smile and see them eat their snacks full of excitement is your motivation. The fish itself is your motivation to take care of it.
I must live vicariously through fish keepers because my "care" is much more like the kiss of death to literally anything aquatic 😭 I'd love to keep fish, but my aquatics thumb is so brown I think it's mummified now. I'm trying to do a TON research, because yes one day I hope to keep my own adorable fishies for more than a month 👍🏻
@@jadencory6169 I will say I tended to be forgetful about changing out filters--not out of lack of motivation, just plain forgetful. But in hindsight, if I could pin it on anything it was a sheer lack of education and understanding of how the fish do. But I've had a hermit crab, snails and betta fish all commit mass su*c*de on me. I've killed who knows how many bettas at this point in all kinds of setups throughout my life. Killed 6 Goldfish (granted I was 8 years old and was housing all of them in a 20 gallon tank). Killed multiple Cory catfish and an African Dwarf Frog. But even the ones I took REALLY good care of would live maybe a year if I was lucky. Still, after my last fish (a betta) died when I was 14, I swore off fishkeeping for the next 16 years. I want to get back into it, so I've been cramming a lot of research/following a lot of fishtubers such as Luke. I really want to add a water feature with live critters in it to my Rainbow Boa's Vivarium, and want to make sure those critters don't get killed by my death's touch at fishkeeping. So I'm taking an attitude of "The less I tinker with it. The better." And trying my best to plan a planted water feature that needs as little interference from me as possible--beyond the occasional (hopefully very occasional if I set it up correctly) water change. The less I interact with those fish, the better chance they have at surviving ._.
Definitely get your information from multiple sources, and educate yourself as best you can, but no matter what, you will make mistakes, but dont let those hold you back and keep trying your best. I've been at this for a year now, and I love my goldfish babies, of which I have 14 now, I have one betta in his own 10 gal and a blue dream shrimp colony, in their own 10gal. If i had 3 pecices of advice for anyone getting back into the hobby or has had traumatic experiences in it like yourself, it would be these. First, the sorce of the fish is super important, regardless of the extra costs associated. If you want a good pet, get them from a good breeder. You are much more likely to be given a healthy animal and not one on its last leg like most fish from the pet store. Second would be trust your water sorce, and always use a water conditioner. If your city water or well water is toxic or has bad water parameters for your fish, it will die if you dont adjust them to the specific levels of the species of fish that you are keeping needs to be helthy. Lastly, learn your fishes behavior. Just like everything in life, each fish has their own personality, and the way of doing the things they do, so paying attention and ingadging with them is good actually, because then you know when something is amiss or wrong because they are acting differently and doing things they wouldn't normally do. Im sure all of this is stuff you will read and hear, or have heard and read already and know, but I encouraged anyone who has the time available and passion to take care of are fishy friends to do so. The inspiration I got from Luke to get my first 4 babies changed my life for the better in a lot of ways. If you or anyone else gets even a fraction of that or just loves their fish and takes good care of it, then its for the better, and you should try. The lives of your fish clearly didn't just go over your head, and each mistake can be a learning opportunity. Even though learning that way is super painful.
@@jadencory6169 very wise words 😊 Yeah I've come to the realization that getting fish from the pet store is *absolutely* setting yourself up for failure. I'm going to be testing my aquatics keeping with my pet boa's Vivarium. If that experiment works (and I don't automatically kill my poor fish), I'm definitely going to see if I can get back into fishies. And maybe even have my own little Igglybuffs from our Queen Jigglypuff 🤍
STACY is stunning! Cant wait to see her babies and baby jigglypuffs! 😂 Had to laugh at the water overflowing on the new floor, and you filmed it, and kept filming. Lol....😂
It might be a good idea for you to invest in a janitor's mop and bucket. Would probably be easier to clean up spills with that than towels like you were using the last time
I think that using a strip LED light for all those 75's would make sense, but if you want to grow plants in them you may need a different light set up. As for you 120g, I think a few bala sharks would be beautiful in there. I have always wanted some but I know they require a lot of space. Great video as always !
I completely agree that doing what your pets need from you, is on the same level of importance as doing what your kids need from you, or even what you need from yourself. However, I just want to state that with mental illness such as depression, bipolar, sometimes even adhd, there can be a disconnect between what you know you need to do, and what you can do. I think the fact that someone is trying to problem solve to fix themself is important to recognize.
"Pet store fish just like to die" can confirm, I've been owning pet store bettas for years and they always die after 2 - 3 years due to some sort of complications, my first one died from a tumor, second from unknown causes (just found him dead one day), my current (third) one is still alive and we're around the 2 year mark but she's recently been having some issues with swim bladder disease and I'm trying really hard to help her but its not looking too good atm. A lot of the issues with pet store fish are because they're bred poorly, bad genetics, I feel like I'll probably get my next betta from a breeder instead.
I stopped keeping fish because I loathed water changes and it wasn’t fair to either he fish or me…but my cat on the other hand, I’ve woken up in a panic out of a deep sleep in the middle of the night, scared that she was starving and had to check the food bowl to make sure it was still full (she free feeds). Even when I know I already topped it off that day. If you’re not at the moment ready to jump to take care of your pet, you shouldn’t have them. I love watching your Goldie’s though! So very cute! Don’t want them, but still love watching other people have them!
That title to the video is just *chefs kiss* perfect. Loved the video Luke, I hope you are doing well. And my idea for that tank you should make it a planted tank with maybe some colorful cichlids to catch everyone's eyes. But if you want to keep the fish room goldfish based you should maybe put in some MASSIVE goldfish that would draw everyone's eyes as something like a centerpiece
Excellent intro, really. Thanks. For efficient lights I use a shop metal round light with the clip and a regular round LED bulb. Lights up my 2 tanks. One on each tank. Hang it or use the clamp it comes with.
I totally get the struggle of finding the motivation to be able to do basic care for your pets. I’m not a fish owner but I didn’t do a good job taking care of my previous pet just know that it’s ok if you need to surrender your pet if you are not doing well. It’s not an easy task taking care of another life form when you’re struggling to take care of yourself. You should be trying to provide your pets with the best quality of life at the very least if you can’t be the one to give it to them. I suggest finding ways to automate some tasks to take the load off of it for yourself. Good luck! ❤
Hi Luke, Love your goldfish and for sharing your journey with us. So sorry you lost Gigachad in shipping. Just sharing my simple method for breeding goldfish. I'm just a hobbyist like you but this method has work so many times I'm in hopes it will work for you. You should condition males and females separately. Do this for 2 weeks minimum with lots of bloodworms, livefoods and soft gel foods like repashy and steam eggs. If your using pellets presoak it before feeding. Also if you can also introduce duckweed and wheat germ it helps tremendously too. The wheatgerm should also be soaked or blended it with repashy or steam eggs. Don't feed it dry as it makes a mess. You'll need to keep heater set around 28 deg. so they can process the increased feedings during this period. Increased aeration and don't overstock them during conditioning. Don't clean the water too much during the conditioning phase just do bare minimum. After 2 weeks check the males to see if the breeding stars on cheeks or pectoral fins are pronounced and simultaneously the females have soft bulging belly. If yes for both then put them in 100% aged water and it should trigger them to breed. Best of luck with the future breeding.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Water changes are easy, though. I don't understand how anyone can want to have an aquarium and not like doing water changes. It's not hard. Gravel vac, wipe the glass, admire the plants and fish as they get curious to what you're doing. Add in your maintenance additives responsibly. I actually think water changes are fun!
It's a good thing you have wires all over the floor with all that water overflowing the tub. That ads to the safety of the whole situation, ensuring that you have no reason to be concerned! Props!
Hi Luke! I got an idea for ur 120 gallon tank!! How about Axolotls?? My friend got two and their the cutest things in the world!! Turtles is also a great idea too!! I’m sure whatever you choose will be a great choice!
Should hook the dehumidifiers up to a voice activated switch. "*Activation phrase* turn off..." Before you start production. And if you check your app you can see if it's off or on
Luke if you drop in a big spawning mop, feed some blood & earth worms, & do a water change just before a storm front, you might be able to encourage some breeding behavior. Tip on the spawning mop is to make it long enough to go from top to bottom and tie it off so they don't just push it around. Good Luck!!🐠🍀
You should get an axolotl. I know it’s not a goldfish, but they’re beautiful animals. Please. Also, I love the content, and Stacy do be looking wide in the hips.
What if you did something crazy like put a bunch of crayfish that you caught in your pond? Make your own crayfish farm! Alternatively, maybe you can try a bunch of creatures that the goldfish would eat - like shrimp! A tank like that could hold hundreds of beautiful shrimp comfortably!
Honestly- in the 120 you should do one big planted tank- with easy plants like anubias, tiger lotus, aquarium lily and like pogostemin stellatus octopus - let is sit with RICEFISHHH for a long while till it’s established then you could feature some chonkers in there. My goldies have all coexisted with those plants- seriously ❤❤❤ you should try it- youd get a sponsor. Id even send or bring you some ricefish for it
Yeah, it is a big tank, but pike and bass get really big, and knowing Luke I don’t think he’d want to have them that cramped. Plus, I personally think that while the idea of perch is cool, bluegills look a lot better.
If you’re not the type of person that enjoys water changes, siphoning, and all the other stuff, your best way to deal with that would be to make a natural ecosystem that self-sustaining live plants that will limit the amount of input you have to have for your tank
I wish I had this man tell me to do water changes when I had a major depressive period and I straight up couldn’t get the energy to do anything and I’m ashamed to say, my fish room collapsed, total fish death and it’s been something I’ve regretted it every damn day
You really don't know which one's Num-Nums and which ones Taco, considering that's Bean. As someone who has siblings and who's parent often called me by my sibling's name, I think this proves you're basically a fish dad.
I guess i can agree with Luke's lik motivation speech about "How can you not have motivation to do it?" Yes theyre like your babies and ive had guppies and bettas before but when youre going through severe depression it becomes less of a pleasure to care for them and more like "I wonder if i should even be trying at all" I know i got that gut wrenching feeling of just utter helplessness after finding my guppy dead despite water changes and the best care i could offer and then it just deteriorated into a feeling of "I can't do this anymore" So I'd like to argue that even getting out of bed and eating is a chore, let alone taking care of pets. Yeah we have to, but it just feels a bit off to say "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE MOTIVATION!?!?" Some people just don't, and it just makes us feel all that more ashamed when we're told that, but i know where Luke is coming from and i still kind of agree

Stacy is such a pretty fish! The pearlescent scales are the best

That's what I'm concerned too, specially when the floor is wet. Plus the overloaded circuit may also cause fire hazard.

If your fishroom don’t flood every now and then, is it even a fishroom?
A nice plump catfish that can chill and be happy in that 120 gallon tank I think would be perfect.

Install overflow for each container will make your life easier. I made my overflow piping from pvc. Its affordable
I want a jiggly puff baby so bad! She is so beautiful

Tip on the spawning mop is to make it long enough to go from top to bottom and tie it off so they don't just push it around. Good Luck!!🐠🍀
"488th video of me requesting luke to name a chunky goldie Mr.Blaze" It must be the most firey goldfish🔥🔥
i miss GigaChad So much
Oh god my spill when I do a water change. 🤦🏻♀️
You could put Turtles in side that tank biug enough for them to swim that is a perfect tank for them 👌 😊
You should get an axolotl. I know it’s not a goldfish, but they’re beautiful animals. Please. Also, I love the content, and Stacy do be looking wide in the hips.

Let's put an axolotl in the big tank :D
I vote for a clownfish reef tank
120 gal tank should be for the promising looking baby goldfish
Then we can watch them grow easily
ngl a locally caught aquascaped native fish tank would look good for the 120
Fr just stuff from that lake or pond he has outside
Paludarium would be sick
Idk if that’s Luke’s cup of tea though
Honestly- in the 120 you should do one big planted tank- with easy plants like anubias, tiger lotus, aquarium lily and like pogostemin stellatus octopus - let is sit with RICEFISHHH for a long while till it’s established then you could feature some chonkers in there. My goldies have all coexisted with those plants- seriously ❤❤❤ you should try it- youd get a sponsor. Id even send or bring you some ricefish for it
Glad all of the chicken nuggets are doing amazing
You should expand to two species and include Rosie red minnows they should go in the big tank
Maybe put a bunch of the best looking goldfish in there with some plants and aquarium sand and maybe some buildings and stuff?
You should putt some turtles in the big tank
I love your setup. I am hyped to see it full of fishies one day.
Put 500 betta fish in the big tank
Luke you have to make that 120 gallon tank into a reef tank.
The OGs in the big tank!!
Please get an Axolotl!!!! That would be awesome in that big middle tank. Imagine having 3 in there it’ll be awesome
Native fish, like a pike, maybe a bass, or even a small shoal of perch, it would be amazing as a single species tank.
I think something like bluegills would look best as far as native fish go.
@@funnybunnyj3164 But Perch are cooler, so are bass, and pike. Its 120 Gallons, bluegills don't need that much, so its kind of a waste of space.
Yeah, it is a big tank, but pike and bass get really big, and knowing Luke I don’t think he’d want to have them that cramped. Plus, I personally think that while the idea of perch is cool, bluegills look a lot better.
@@funnybunnyj3164 I mean in terms of Pickerel and smaller bass.
I really want a mini Stacy I love her coloration
“It’s raining and it’s sunny?!” Yep welcome to New England
If you’re not the type of person that enjoys water changes, siphoning, and all the other stuff, your best way to deal with that would be to make a natural ecosystem that self-sustaining live plants that will limit the amount of input you have to have for your tank
Your fish are so beautiful and cool ❤
Brooooooo my water changes are tomorrow. Leave me alone. 😂
I wish I had this man tell me to do water changes when I had a major depressive period and I straight up couldn’t get the energy to do anything and I’m ashamed to say, my fish room collapsed, total fish death and it’s been something I’ve regretted it every damn day
😢 awww you can redeem yourself with new fishes and future! Good luck! 🥰🙏🤗
Bro your gonna get electrocuted lol
I think you should at least leave a few smaller tanks on your shelf's Incase you need a nugget jail or Quarantine tank for a sick fish. 🐠
I would say Oscar will be good fish for the big tank because you don't have other fish than gold
I just clicked on your channel because ive been off my phone lately, and sat and looked at the title of this video and the one with Codeman
That tank should be a saltwater tank. Get that dog faced puffer you wanted for it, it would be cool for you to switch things up.
Floor drain, floor drain, floor drain. Worth every penny and the mental stress it would save.
Jump in...the tank🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
8:43 awwwaaaayy!!!!
Orandas for the new tank!
Get an axolotl in the middle tank 😂❤
I think a aquascape that uses stuff from your land to scape
You really don't know which one's Num-Nums and which ones Taco, considering that's Bean. As someone who has siblings and who's parent often called me by my sibling's name, I think this proves you're basically a fish dad.
Straight ground beef is good! I agree with that
put guppys in the centre tank
Luke needs 1 mega tank with as many different types of gold fish that it can take
I love you Luke ❤ keep it up
a PLANTED tank in the middle of the room would be nice.
pecock mantis shrimp are pretty awesome for the 120 gallon. and something a little different
Put ur prized goldfish in the big tank!
Reef tank for the 120g
Jigglypuff is beautiful. You should put here in the big tanks
I just got a completely black ranchu goldfish today. I have him in a 50 gal pond in my room
I think the 120 should be try and themed after a natural planted fish tank. Maybe the fish could be like tetras or rainbow fish
A particular gallon tank is about looking after our fish so we can keep them safe.
Jellyfish would look cool in the tank
You should add some angelfish in that big tank 😁
To be honest I sometimes don’t have the motivation to feed my kids. Lol. But luckily they are old enough to fix their own food.
Luke, i feel as if you should get a reptile/amphibian for that tank to live along side the fish in there
Really?
9:27 LCD strips? cheap, you can change the color at whim, and easy to put up.
I guess i can agree with Luke's lik motivation speech about "How can you not have motivation to do it?"
Yes theyre like your babies and ive had guppies and bettas before but when youre going through severe depression it becomes less of a pleasure to care for them and more like "I wonder if i should even be trying at all"
I know i got that gut wrenching feeling of just utter helplessness after finding my guppy dead despite water changes and the best care i could offer and then it just deteriorated into a feeling of "I can't do this anymore"
So I'd like to argue that even getting out of bed and eating is a chore, let alone taking care of pets. Yeah we have to, but it just feels a bit off to say "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE MOTIVATION!?!?"
Some people just don't, and it just makes us feel all that more ashamed when we're told that, but i know where Luke is coming from and i still kind of agree
My guy you should put skeleton koi in that giant tank
Shubunkin for the big tank, a single fin goldfish would enjoy the space
They got to be Thai Rosetail orandas. Ranchu are the cutest but Orandas are the most beautiful goldfish. Please please got some.
Taco the redcap having an existential crisis being also called Bean
