So I Ended Up With 100 NEW Fish. Now What?

- I'm always happy to take on or adopt animals that need a good home, but I wasn't expecting this. One of my best friends told me his aunt had some baby koi that needed a new home. I've wanted to get some koi, so I figured this was a good opportunity to get them. However, they were not koi and there ended up being WAY more fish that originally described. Either way, I gladly took them all.
I also took the time to address Cookie the snapping turtle's tank. I've needed to do it for awhile and intended to wait until I move it into the new animal room. I couldn't wait much longer, though, so I got to it! It's crazy to see how much she's grown.

I was NOT expecting this many fish, but I still gladly took them all. Initially I was thinking not to keep them all, but the more I consider my option, the more I think I may keep them all. What would you do if you were in my situation? Also, what do you think about Cookie? Crazy to see how big she's getting, but she's got a long way to go. Anyway, enjoy the video and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
You take great care with all of your pets so no doubt these fish will be in good hands
I have a friend with a pond. I’d ask him if he could take them on😂
Have you thought yet about putting a tank like an octagon shape perhaps in a corner or may even a triangle shaped one ? Well pending on how big n what kinda fish they r we dunno lol
I would suggest selecting those, that have traits you wish to breed with your original goldfish, and perhaps offer to donate the restbof them with a special build for a worthy organization?
I seriously consider moving to a state that will allow me to have an alligator snapper every time I see Cookie.
As far as the fish go, I would dig an enormous pond that would start with a large, shelf like waterfall, covered in various mosses. Reeds/cattails as the waterfall back drop. Large main body pond area, with a few little bay areas with lots of plants and hiding places.
I know it's not natural, but I really want a viewing window in whatever pond I end up constructing. Feel like I get better acquainted with my fish that way.
As someone who breeds goldfish I honestly don’t think it’s too crazy that they produced 100 babies, I think the crazy thing is the size and level of color variation in those babies considering their age.
ya, i havn't seen gold fish multiply that fast and grow so much in a year.
Such a wide variation really makes me suspicious of the claim that they all came from one pair of goldfish.... er "koi".
Maybe both of the fish were pregnant when the old owner bought them, so instead of one mating pair, both of them had a brood that they released when they were released into the original pond. That could explain some of the variations in color.
Oops I forgot that fish breed in the water and they don't have intercourse, so they would have to be a male and a female, nevermind
@@benlittleforest Yup. With goldfish and koi the male fertilizes the eggs as the female lays them.
This is probably not feasable, but in a perfect world it would be so cool if you could make a wall-sized enclosure for all the goldfish that went down both walls of your hallway. That way you could have a hallway like the aquariums I've seen where it looks like you're walking through a tunnel with water surrounding you on all sides. Again, this is probably not possible because you'd need A LOT of glass and a way to get behind the walls. Plus, all of that water would be very heavy and difficult to clean. Still, making any version of this idea would probably look really really cool.
I've seen people to this small scale but that big would be too much like you said
Damn, that would be amazing :D But yeah, probably not doable.
I really enjoy your channel. Reminds me of my early years when I kept many types of "herps". When I was very young (60 years ago) I would save up my money and walk down to Woolworths and buy a baby slider turtle. I spent many hours trying to learn how to keep them happy. I didn't succeed very well but it started me on the journey. I was able to take a course in herpetology in college where I got to do a project in the turtle room studying feeding behaviors. I think they had every type of turtle and tortoise. I was in heaven. Now, I just have an Exoterra tank with a tiger salamander that I found under a piece of metal roofing curled up in the dry dirt. I have had him for 5 years now. His or her name is Lizard. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love how considerate you are of your pet's needs. I wish all pet owners were like you
Couldn't agree more, goldfish are horribly underrated. One of my personal favorites.
Looks like the reptile room is coming together nicely. Thanks for showing the sanding! Seeing the small steps that eat up a lot of time really helps people to realize just how much time and energy goes into these projects! Paying very close attention myself to help plan for our own move this year (Wisconsin to Kentucky).
for the goldfish pond it would look awesome if you had an inverted tank above the water so you can get a side on viewing area instead of only from above. Your animal room is coming along awesome, cant wait to see it complete!
Oh boi! That would be awesome!!!
Tanner, I absolutely love watching the progress in the animal room and seeing all your updates. Watching your new uploads every Saturday is always a highlight of my week.
I can't believe how much she has grown! What a beautiful animal!
They're much older than what she said they were! As goldfish, common or otherwise, don't get their colours until they are at least 1yr old and sometimes 2 to 3yrs old. So she may well have put in only 2 fish. But that doesn't mean to say that there weren't already fish residing in it. 😂
Also you have ample room in your new gdn to build a mahoosive pond for them. Which I very much look forward to. You could even build it up with a different tier system of ponds and so separate out the different types into different layers of pond that could in effect cascade down from one tier into another.
Looking forward to seeing how your new animal room develops over time. Such a magnificent space!
Or someone tossed an extra few in
i think that would be better, seeing them small as adult. At least for me, i love smaller size goldfish
It's so lovely to follow you on this amazing journey! I can't wait to see what comes next 😁.
As for the goldfish, maybe donate some to a local library, community center, park, school or service organization, maybe with an awesome build for them to live in?
Thanks for rescuing them. My goal in life is to have a koi pond or goldfish pond if I don’t have a big pond. ❤️🐠
I'm so glad you rescued them. They are some lucky fish to land in your care. Koi or not they are beautiful.
Personally I love Shubunkins. The black ones looked really good too. I’d be picking the ones with mixed colours. Of course it’s all your personal preference. I love goldfish, well only regular bodied ones. I’m not into the fancies. The Rubbermaid tubs are awesome. I used to use one as a trough for my horses. I loved that they have a drain plug at the bottom. Can’t wait to see the basement finished.
I think goldfish breeders have lost control playing Dr Frankenstein, creating some monster goldfish they call “fancy.” Those “Lion Head Orandas” that look like their brains have exploded out of their heads and others like the “Ranchu” (sp?) bred to not have any dorsal fins are just genetic abnormalities that can’t even swim properly.
I'm so excited for the new animal room!!! Your creativity is... out of this world is an understatement. You inspire me so much and I can't wait to see what you fo with it all
Your work ethic is extremely impressive! I've rarely seen someone accomplish so much in the amount of time you do, and then to make and edit all these videos on top of it is truly exceptional.
I am so glad to be able to be there and see how your new space develops from the beginning 😍
I would keep them! They are all so unique looking and so beautiful, especially that giant dark one. The little calico babies are also cute af too…they all are just freaking adorable and I wouldn’t be able to part with any of them lol
I would do the same as you and give the new future babies to some fellow enthusiasts to get them off to a good start.
It's great to see everything is starting to come together. I really love seeing your progress! Thank you for sharing it all with us 😀
I personally really like the large white goldfish with the yellow head. That one really pops out.
I would say it's time to start drawing some blueprints for your next outdoor pond!
Looks like we'll be getting an awesome pond video with at least 103 happy fish in the future. 😊
I just get so excited every time you post a new video lately! You're through the move and back into the project/creation stage and it feels like the possibilities are endless! Thanks for bringing us along on the journey. :)
Tanner, as talented as you are at animal husbandry I would suggest that you make a nice interior landscaped pond in your animal room plus a great one outdoors. I had a large pond outdoors and found my goldfish never over bred their pond, seems nature has a way of taking care of that along with natural predators. Outdoors the pond evolves into a natural ecosystem overtime. I’m 66 now and installed my first pond in my mother’s garden for her when I was a teen. Stocked it upon setup with ten feeder goldfish and they were breeding by the next spring and huge. Mom had a couple peach trees that over hung the pond and it was fun to watch the fish move the fruit that had fallen in like boats as they ate it.
Cookie is awesome!
As for the gold fish, I think I'd use a good chunk of ya land to build a massive pond with bog areas around it to act as natural filters, and just because I have an obsession with carnivorous plants, I'd have plenty in bog areas.
Your temperamental Cookie has a really beautiful pattern to her shell, worth the negotiations with her 👍
I love watching this journey unfold! Thank you so much for showing us the progression of your animal room. This is very inspirational
I really love how respectful you are with your animals. Not handling them for too long because they don't like it, considering their feelings. It's really nice.
When you have goldfish in a proper setup, they really are one of the most beautiful kind of fish in my opinion
Cookie is beautiful and the goldfish were a nice surprise for you! I really enjoy your pond videos. I'd love to have an outdoor pond but don't dare. The local frogs, raccoons, etc. would likely eat the fish. I live fairly near Houston, Texas, so periodic backyard flooding is common and any surviving fish could easily end up in the flood control ditches and become invasive. I'll just continue enjoying your pond and other setups vicariously.
I'm so happy for you, Tanner. Keep it up! The space is looking great.
I would see if I could donate them in any way to something, like a childrens museum or something crazy like that. May be harder, but more rewarding for sure!
I am glad to hear an animal update. I’ll be glad when they are all settled in the new spaces.
I understand completely with cookie, right now my snapper is going through that phase, I can't wait till he outgrows it and I can setup a planted home for him
So excited for when the new animal room is finally finished! It looks to be an absolutely massive upgrade from the previous place, also super excited that you guys found a house that suits your needs so well! Also glad cookie is doing well 🥰
I love your videos, Tanner. Your voice and quiet spokeness are so soothing. You also help fill the void left when I had to get rid of all my tanks, for health reasons. Thanks for that especially. I love how you are with your animals, as well. Looking forward to more of the new space, and what you do with it. Wow over 100 goldfish! I love goldfish too.
The goldfish are beautiful. I can’t wait to see the pond you’re going to build.
Always look forward for your new animal room updates every week! So far going great!
Your little turtle is cute! She's grown so much! Just goes to show how well cared for she is. I've saved alligator snappers and I'm sure common ones from the road. Not sure how to tell the difference, but when you're trying to move quickly and save them, what kind they are isn't a big deal. I'm in Memphis/North MS. My fav local species are the eastern box turtles, they're SO cute. Our dog found a hatchling in the yard this past summer, didn't hurt it, and we placed it safely on the other side of the fence and let it go about it's business. Congrats on the goldies! They're pretty little things. I've not had a lot of luck keeping them indoors, either they're messier than tropicals or I didn't have the filter system working right. I like them outside and in bigger ponds, they seem to do better. Can't wait to see your new builds, keep up the great work!
I enjoyed all the little updates and maintenance. Would love to see you do regular tank maintenance and setup update videos
I look forward to your videos every week and my 3 year old has started to really enjoy them too
Super stoked to see the future of serpadesign unfold :)
I think a few of the smaller common goldfish could be put in with Cookie, yes we know what will happen but that is nature and keeping her instincts active. You have some pregnant fish and that is a huge colony of just goldfish. Another thing you could do is a giveaway, send a fish to your top 10 supporters or something, from Serpa to the People.
Always wonderful content Tanner, full of wisdom, learning, & enjoyment of all your scapes & critters. Just amazing!!! Congrats on the new abode!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I can't wait to see the new room up and running! Keep up the great work.
Excellent video, my dude. Really makes me wanna get fish again. And your snapping turtle's home looks so cozy!
Holy cow !. 103 fishes?!. On that small pond? Those were indeed making a massive family
The new animal room is really coming along! Can't wait to see what beautiful works of art you cook up in the new kitchen
Sometimes the most interesting goldfish can be found in backyard ponds once they've bred for a few generations. Neat group of fish!
Excited to see your future videos! I always get inspired!
Super excited I can't wait to see the new room start to get stocked!!
Your pure confidence with handling Cookie! She's adorable.
Great video dude !
You know it's a good kind of day when SD uploads a new video! Great job!
I've been so excited for this new animal room I can't wait to see what you do with the space (even though you've told us the layout lol)
they're so beautiful!
Thanks as always solid info
Cookie is growing nicely! She's so adorable.
That was really such an amazing video 🙌🏻
They're pretty fish, whatever the species and however they became so many. Nice assortment of colors and sizes. A kind and conscientious person, you are.
Thank you, this was a great video.
Tanner my man you're like the Mr. Rogers of vivarium videos, idk how much space you have but if it were me personally I'd try to sellmost of those fish and keep a few of my favorites and build them their own tank. Maybe like a huge paluderium set up that replicates a small forest pond indoors?
Your turtle looks as friendly as my calico persan cat! She wrecks everything as well. However, I love her deeply. For the gold fish, how about an 80's retro looking aquarium? I remember I had a gold fish with neon colored rocks!
I just love goldfish, in the right environment they are an absolute delight. Just because something is “common” doesn’t mean it’s not great.
She definitely started out with more than two. You wouldn't get that many different colors out of just two fish starting off. Have to have a few different colors to keep getting all those crazy mixes
Really only 2 options: build a bigger pond or re-home a bunch of them. Thanks Tanner 💕👍
I think all those fish are a good excuse to go bigger and make something spectacular out of the pond.
Love seeing the progress you’re making on the house great work
Loved the video Tanner! Keep it up!
Your episodes make me smile to see you so happy.
Being a non fish person I would’ve liked a little more content about the fish. Shebunken? Comet vs Regular? Are these breeds or colorings? We’re these all one family? Doesn’t seem like it due to these multiple breeds.
Thank you as always, getting my Saturday started right!
I'm gonna be honest, I'm not a huge fan of snappers, but there something about Cookie thats just amazing!
Hype for the finish
103 goldfish, holy cow! They are super cool but I can only imagine how big your pond project will have to be to accommodate them all!
Hi Tanner!! So many goldfish!! Can't wait for your new room projects! Don't forget to add your end screen links in UA-cam editor as they're empty atm😁
Cookie looks awesome!
Another fantastic video Tanner! Those goldfish are beautiful 😍
Dude your stuff is amazeballs
I feel like this is an opportunity for a large project! Maybe something similar to your pond with the monstera growing out of it? Upscaled maybe..
Wow Cookie sure is growing up to be a beautiful girl and so quick too. I can hardly wait to see the finished animal room
Can’t wait to see these rooms come together :)
Cookie looks amazing 😍
Hey SerpaDesign! I love your videos and you’ve taught me so much, but I was wondering if you’d ever do a video on things that didn’t work out for one reason or another? Maybe you’re so good that nothing fails, but even if you no longer have failed experiments, I’d love to hear you talk through them.
For example, I was planning on turning a display case or shadow box into a terrarium - and then saw you built one - but I know they’re tricky. How did it survive?
Likewise, what plants did you include at first but now use less?
Just questions. I think they’d be super helpful for us novices.
Great Sharing!!! I love goldfish.
Your channel is one of my favourite channels! ❤️
Can’t wait to see the new projects! Also, that’s a lot of goldfish, but I’d keep them if you can.
So happy those lucky fishies have a nice new home with you!!!
Can't wait for the new build in the new place!
sheesh that is a lot of fish the place is looking great I am excited for the next video 🙂👍
Cull out the short finned ones, (give away). Also only keep the best coloured ones, this ensures the babies will get better and better each generation.
serp = love
wow serpa! love your videos and I'm subscribed.
I love snappers…our house in Delaware backs on a river and we always see them wandering around during mating season. Some big ‘ole bruisers, too. Your baby is definitely big enough to do some serious damage to a finger. I think they always look grumpy, lol.
These fish are gorgeous 😍
Beautiful goldfish. I hope you keep them.
It's really coming along! Man, you're making me miss my goldfish.
I think you the first UA-camr who didn’t clickbait the “100” fish. It goes without saying but thanks
My favorite UA-camr has uploaded again!
I love goldfish; the ones you got look really pretty and healthy. I’m excited for the goldfish pond.
My Goldies began as an impulse. I bought a one eyed fish out so the feeder tank when I was working at a Petco. Since then I’ve gotten 4 more with only one loss… I didn’t think fish could get any better than bettas but these fat little water puppies are the most forgiving fish I’ve ever had. They’re putting up worn a small tank rather well, until I can get out of this apartment.
Some of the new goldfish could be Feeder Fish.
At the moment I am very intrested in ethical feeder animal care.
There are so many things to think about!
And at the end of the day if you have an omnivores/carnivor pet: It needs to eat.
Goldfish make a poor choice for feeder fish, they produce an enzyme called thiaminase, which destroys thiamine (aka vitamin B1.) Feeding a diet rich in thiaminase producing fish will result in vitamin B1 deficiency, which easily leads to disease and death.
@@Mel-nm8ms Thank you! That's good to know :)
I love that the little snapping turtle is going through her terrible twos lol. Bless her heart. 🙏 💜 I'm sure she loves her new pad 😊💫🐢💜
