It's a lot better than what usually happens to pet fish.
Most kept fish die slow, agonizing deaths from ammonia burn at the hands of inexperienced fishkeepers who buy them on a whim.
Oftentimes they'll die while still at the store.
If you ever visit the aquarium section of a pet shop and notice black stripes on their fins - that's ammonia burn and it's very painful for the little guys.

This definitely makes me sad but I also know this is needed. You can't keep the ones with defects and you also can't have 9000 babies either.

[@Marlieeme]

So maybe he should consider not keeping so many fertilized eggs rather than cull healthy babies. I mean, they are actual animals and alive. At least if he is in the field he should have an idea and anticipate the amount that should be doable and factor in birth defects and such rather than culling so many healthy fish because he can’t keep them all.

[@boskeep1]

@@Marlieeme those eggs are from one female
fish have tons of eggs and make so many babies because for certain animals (like many fish and frogs), it’s quantity over quality so at least some of them survive and that’s also probably why so many have defects in the first place
if he wants to sell, he can’t sell the deformed fish and they probably would die off anyway :/

[@bluegum6438]

@@Marlieeme like 1% of fish fry survive to adulthood, a lot of them are deformed or unlucky and make great snacks for anything from dragonfly larvae to other fish
Every fish breeder needs to do this because you get hundreds of fry per clutch, there's no point in raising fish with undesirable genetics when you get way more than you can deal with every time

[@bluegum6438]

@@Marlieeme no offense, but what is the difference between culling fry and culling an egg? I hate to hear "it's just a fish" when people are keeping adult fish in bad conditions, but respectfully, it's just a fish. I think you're entitled to deal with the eggs and fry in whatever way you see fit, the fry don't suffer, they just lose consciousness. What is the difference between existing for a few hours and not existing at all?

[@bluegum6438]

@@Marlieeme I didn't say they don't feel pain, but clove oil is an anaesthetic, it's like an overdose of e.g. chloroform to us
I would say he does it this way because it's easier and less time consuming than double-handling by removing eggs and then sorting the fry, and you're also removing a lot of viable fry by randomly removing half the clutch, maybe you just threw your next champion goldie on the garden as an egg?
I think we'll probably just have to disagree as I simply don't see anything wrong with humanely culling unneeded fry, where you do, and that's fine

I did don’t know he was culling them so I scooped them back up and tossed them back into the grow out box. He would also freeze them to use as food. I’ll never forget when he asked me to feed the fish the food he made and froze. He told me to just punch a piece off to see if the fish would eat it. I pinched a piece off with my bare fingers and freaking lost it when I saw an eye staring at me! I’m still traumatized when I think of it.

Every goldfish is perfect in their own special way. The way you pick which need culled is looking for any deformities or illnesses.

I've gotten fish with Scoliosis at the petstore and they've fully recovered once out of the stores shit tank water or just die a assuming painful there really isn't a inbetween. However I'd imagine if the fish was born in your tank knowing the water parameters are good and they still have Scoliosis or signs of a diseases that will mess with growth there probably isn't much besides clove oil that will help. That being said I don't euthanize my fish I'm also not a breeder but I don't think it's right that we can't euthanize terminally ill humans but animals are perfectly fine to kill.

I've seen some people who just SUFFOCATE the fish by putting them in a dried up ditch. It's horrififc.

[@fvxkthatdudedaniel8125]

i still can’t understand why someone would put so much effort and be so invested into a simple goldfish

[@finkle931]

Because he breeds them to be more than simple goldfish

[@kehenabeach4418]

Your so respectful about the termination of these fishies! Great job 👏

Wth why are there so many kids in the comment there so annoying 🙄

[@RCMN-2024]

I like how you do it slowly so they dont feel pain when put to sleep
Alot of dental pain at home meds do burn before it works and main ingredient is clove oil

[@SWRD-SO3]

That's the fairest & most considerate way to have deleted them, could definitely understand the burning if high dosage. Fair play man.

[@heroickoopa1]

Bro I'd just eat em.

[@ProjectileGrommet]

Considering he’s doing this to sick goldfish, are you sure?
Or is this a shitpost?

[@ryanmailander4970]

Ong I’d eat them too 😎

Someone from 100 years ago would be laughing and just throw the fish out do you want to kill fish take out of water

[@seeitoldya13]

People still do lol it’s all personal preference

[@furgy667]

Why not just feed them to bigger fish? Good job keeping you “community” happy but such a waste .

[@cronchycatmom]

I missed the last video, but presumably it has to do with maintaining the health of the fish. Like, eating the sick fish could pass on the illness?

[@blackwidowspider7940]

Would you wanna eat the meat or organs of a previously sick or diseased animal? Or how about eat spoiled or diseased fruits or vegetables, if not a meat eater?

[@cjbabalos7188]

I would just want to throw the tiny guys into a set compost pile... sad 😔

[@TheDeepDiveLLC]

It's also really easy and fast to pour turpentine into the tank. A 1:3 ratio will knock them dead almost instantly.

[@jordanboesen7871]

I don't euthanize my fry, I donate them to a local store called aquatics and exotics in my town and they accept, raise, and sell those same fry. I've had three whole schools of fry I've donated to them and I've seen all my babies find good homes 💕

[@ryanmailander4970]

[@rainbowriaand87mapping85]

Oh. Ok I will do that when my goldfish lays eggs

[@Ambipie]

You could just get an egg eater.

[@EquiEsti6194]

Or dont let them hatch. That’d the most humane thing you can do. In this video, he is culling the fish because they are deformed and wouldn’t survive anyway.

[@rainbowriaand87mapping85]

Oh ok

[@rainbowriaand87mapping85]

Yeah kinda the eggs died yesterday

[@ibrahimwadood5995]

If i were you I'd feed them to some other fish as they're a good protien source

shut up bro, my guppy ate her own babies even after I put pricy well received food at the top for her to eat instead. They are fish, they give no fucks.

The fact that I scrolled through your profile to see this video because of part one but then went back to the regular feed only to get this video two slides down

You know the world is at an end when people are sensitive to goldfish culling.

[@JesusMartinez-zu3xl]

We as humans have many emotions… I remember gardening when I was little and getting sad about the tomato plants dying in the winter.

[@JesusMartinez-zu3xl]

Death is just something we as humans fear/grief over… even if it’s just little things.

Mild clove oil in small dosage is used in professional fish keeping and vets when operating too

[@user-zk1tv5qc8p]

The way I used to cull when I had flowerhorn &gold fish fries .was to just feed them to my adult flowerhorn
