You a real one thanks👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Thank you!
But yeah, right!
My goldfish already ate a moss ball, and it is currently on the process of eating my anubia 😭
I hope the other 3 work. Wish my good luck.
my goldfish destroyed my moss balls actually
x.pq. x my goldfish ate the moss balls-
My angels have been savaging my crinums, something to think about
My goldfish is sooo derpy. He picks up gravel pebbles and then throws them at the glass. Lol
Bro, ur man is trying to bust out
Omg mine did the same, it also jumped out of the tank whenever we fed it.
It’s him trying to get you to feed him, mine puts rocks on our fake plants, man I love goldfish
@@hotdogfrenchfries5707 hahahahaha..!!! finding nemo
LOL! WOW
Corey I call my goldfish naughty. They have eaten every plant, except a small anubis tucked in a decoration.
They knock down the decorations, knock off the filter extender a d splash me in the eye while trying to feed them. They are too funny and never a dull moment.🤣🤣🤣🙄
Quick question when they lay eggs do they attach to everything? I can't figure out if it is new food not being eaten or not.🤷♀️
Had to clean the aquarium last night including everything inside the tank. They were much happier this morning. Not giving them any of the new food I purchased.

Perfect timing! I'm thinking of getting plants/decor as a Christmas gift for a friend's tank and this helps as they have goldfish!
Woow, just before I put in an online order for aquatic plants. I had been doing some reading on plants I could fix in my goldfish tank. Perfect timing!
Hi Cory. Aquarium coop is my favorite UA-cam channel. Thanks for teaching me about fish.
Great video! Thanks for being such a well educated person on variety of fish keeping you’re so helpful
My goldfish (a veil-tail comet, I think) enjoys playing with moss balls.
Another plants in her tank are emersed lucky bamboo, fully grown dwarf water lily, and water hyacinth. All doing nicely.
Very tempted to try some bolbitis if I can find one!
I love goldfish and plants, so I know I already love this video!😍❤️
I just got 2 crinums and 2 Java ferns from you guys for my goldfish tank and I put them in easy planters so they won't be messed with. There is some melting on the crinum after several days as expected, but I can't wait to see it grow overtime!
Tried all of these in the past and the crinum was the only survivor, the moss balls were a disaster they destroyed them and there was moss ball throughout the tank. I've had success with vallisneria gigantea as it grows quickly and they don't seem to like the taste!
Ditto, my moss looks like a couple of flat tires lol.
Thanks! I was able to intervene and save my moss balls when they started picking at them, but all my java ferns were uprooted or eaten, my amazon sword and micro sword were both chewed down to the roots, and all my hornwort and bacopa vines were picked barren.
I'll give those two plants a shot. If they don't work, there's always room in my other tanks.
Thank goodness I was just about out of fish keeping videos to watch😂
Great advice, thanks Cory
Goldfish are like cats!?! Lol!
Goldfish like Cats are always begging for food. Goldfish unlike Cats happily eat anything you feed them; Goldfish are not picky eaters.
Catfish have left the chat
I think they are like dogs, and bettas are like cats
Corey you are just in time! I got 6 fancies the other day and was wondering what plants are safe for them 😂
Great info as always!
You are so on point about the cat antics, hilarious description!
Great topic. Needed this👍👍
What gravel do you suggest for goldfish tank? Any particular sand or mixture of sand and gravel you recommend? What lights do you recommend for the plants? Look forward to hearing from you, my tank looks depressing empty with only one goldfish.
Get a castle already!😁 In the 800
Would you recommend still adding nutrients such as excel or flourish?
😉very beautiful👍
綺麗な金魚たちですね！
Hey I know this is off topic but I am trying to decide on two power heads for my 75 gallon ciclid tank. Hydros gen 2 850/ Hydros gen 3 1350/ Hyrdros gen 3 1950 … I want two, one for circulating the bottom and one for the top of the tank for water movement. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
Love your videos thanks so much for the info:-)
My goldfish have moss balls and mouse ear plant. So far so good. I feed them cichlid excel and omega one gold fish food. They seem to prefer the food. They've demolish the odd moss ball. I hear java moss is ok so I might try grow it on some type of mesh and stick it in with suction cups. My problem is looking at my tank it reminds me of a swimming pool look.
My fish love nibbling on elodea. I grow it in a second, smaller tank and put it in there purely for them to enjoy.
A lily pad plant is pretty good plant as well people always think they should only be in ponds but they look good in aquariums too and they have thick stems that wont get eaten just tie down roots like other plants
I'am gping to try that. Ma ma knows somebody that has extra in her tank i guess. Might my first plant, but would like to get a few seen on here.
If I used ur 5gal bucket dyi filter is there a way I could put it lower then the tank
Nice! Thanks for this ❤️
My goldfish really liked the taste of the moss balls I used in my tank
I'm getting some Anubias tomorrow so this is great information. And I can easily get a moss ball
I ordered a 2 inch fahaka puffer I’m going to have to keep it in a 5 gallon quarantine tank for two months any advice it comes in two days
Thank you!
good video, thank you
Would there be any issue in chopping up larger moss balls into a bunch of smaller ones and using them as my “substrate”?
That one black goldfish at the top isn’t looking too good
Stoner
I just toss hornwort in and it does the job lol. Probably the only plant I’ve had no problems with.
My Goldies eat it like there is no tomorrow
Yeah they pick the individual pines off them until there is nothing left.
Yayyyyy,another upload...💯🤘🤩
Mah mans thanks for video now i know how to get plant for my goldfish ✨
You did a video earlier this year showing how to remove plants from the pots, prep and glue to rocks. I can't find it anywhere. It was very informative for me and I'm ready to plant.
ua-cam.com/video/IlwLgUyRVpc/v-deo.html
@@AquariumCoop That's it! Thank you so much. Spent a year watching your videos and I think I'm ready....will be ordering everything from your site!
Hey dude, love the channel especially when you visit Dean.. Where are you located ?? I thought I heard you were in Delaware.. If so, my wife's sister and brother-in-law live there in Milton, close to Rehoboth Beach.. They come down 3 or 4 times a year, to Virginia.. If you are from around there, I may purchase some fish from you and they can bring them down.. I would buy one of those battery powered air pumps and have it shipped to them before and they should make it down with no problems.. If you aren't from there, I will wait until spring and get some fish shipped here.. You are straight up crazy for going to Japan, dude.. That place in totally radiated and not safe at all.. Thanks, I have learned tons of info from watching your show..
Awesome goldfishes. Decorate well. You will thank your goldfishes for your life. 😀😀
lol moss balls 🤣 i tried moss balls, they shredded them in minutes.
I laughed at that one too. My gold fish ate a whole moss ball, and it is currently working on an anubia lol
@@ElWiinosauriio they're really the cats of the fish world lol. can't have anything nice😂
Hortwort(coontail) that's all I get away with my fancy tail she eats everything
I love your content thank you
That tank behind you looks so nice!
And void of plants..... Lol
what kind of glue do you use thats safe to glue plants to decorations? brand name would be appreciated. also where can i learn more about how to do so? links? trying badly to learn for my goldfish. i've been using fishing line.
Cabomba does really well with my goldfish.
What kind of air bubbles are those? Are they weighted or suction cupped?
do you guys keep fancys in store?
Sir i get an internal filter with air flow and that one sucks all poop of my goldie and cleans the tank bit i always changes 30% water every weak. I don't have any substrate in the tank so that's easy to clean. 😄
I found that if you get a thick enough mat of moss they can't destroy it. They love trying to rip it up but they usually aren't strong enough I have them in a 75 and its filled with moss.
Another I would suggest is Pythos quick growers and suck up nitrate well. They also don’t need a lot of sun
What about hornwort? I’m having great luck with it in my goldfish tank
IS CRINUM CALAMISTRUM ok for smaller tanks like a 75 gallon? I have a 10 inch goldfish fully grown over 10 yrs old
Can you do this for cichlids
Like peacock or mubuna
I received a goldfish as a gag gift for my birthday and I now wanna upgrade to a 10gallon with maybe some bottom dwellers or small schoolers what are ideal cold water tank mates for a comet goldfish?
Water lilies (but them let them grow a bit first) :)
The lily is the only plant in my pond they don't destroy.
Mine have killed my gorgeous lily and all the hornwort. Little crazy pirhanas.
I can’t believe Krypts didn’t make this list!
Do goldfish avoid eating them?
@@Vesdus yes!
@@Crystal-bb4jn Thank you!
@@Crystal-bb4jn which crypts do goldfish not eat?
Vallesneria I'd imagine would work well. They have thicker leaves, big roots, and are longgggg.
For me it didnt work either lol, they lasted 2 months with these...goats
I have 2 common and 3 comets. They ate everything I had in my tank including Java fern, Java moss and amazon swords. They don't eat with my anubias barteri. I have a high light Tank, and need something to shade the anubias.
Hey Cory, any Carpet plants you think would work with Goldfish? Maybe Monte Carlo or something?
I have java fern and anubias in with my goldfish. Like those plants as they don't need to be planted into substrate
Can I assume that all of these do well at room temperature? I once tried keeping a moss ball with some Sarassa Comets and they quickly pulled it apart.
Yes, pretty much all aquarium plants prefer room temps vs the tropical temps we keep them at.
does anybody have any experience with water hyacinth? i want to put it in my 75 goldfish tank
the water wisteria in my goldfish tank is growing like a weed. heheh
Can you have bonsai tree in oranda tank?
Do the aquariums need gravel? And decor? Any recommendations on who I can talk to about my questions, I have so many!
No but it's better with it. You can also use sand (I do in my tropical tank). It needs a lot of washing first but looks nicer.
I never cared for goldfish before, especially the "modified" ones. However after watching your videos I have become fascinated with them. In particular I enjoy the black and white (lion Head?) swim and feed.loveable little guy.
I'm keeping plants and goldfish together with great success in my plastic bin goldfish aquarium video...
Which plants?
I had terrible results putting zucchini in my goldfish tank (for my pleco). They loved it. and then they ate it. And then they realized they could eat my Anubias and they won't stop x.x . The tank was established with these fish over a year before they met the zucchini and moved their palette to the plants lol
Brother which plants are good for swanki fish
Can i keep Java moss in my goldfish aquarium?
Hahahha my 2 hooligan goldies uprooted my foxtails hahaha thanks for this info.
What sizes tank to you have?
I have anubias, Cryptocoryne Balansae and cryptocoryne wendtii with goldfish
what fish is that on @4:30 ? the black and white one
Hello can you tell me. Please with one of that plants i have i can keep with common goldfish? Hydrocotyle leucocephala, lemma minor ,ergeria densa
valinseria Americana, Heteranthera zosterifolia (stargrass) , baccopa australis, rotala rodutifolia, (Hygrophila difformis)?? Thanks
vallisneria does well in my goldfish tank. The only other one of those I've tried, was Heteranthera, and the fish ate it entirely.
Next video could be what plants to grow specifically to feed your gold fish!
Braden Ellis duckweed and riccia should be on it
Just jam a ton of hornwort in your tank. The goldfish will have plenty of fun foraging for and nibbling every tiny little crumb stuck within its leaves. Since hornwort just floats in the water; no worries about it being uprooted; it's a floating plant. It looks grate, when a bunch of it's, in the tank.
Hi, can I have Epipremnum aureum (pothos plant) on the surface of the aquarium (roots inside) without risk for the fish? Thanks in advance!
No risk for the fish.
@@AquariumCoop thanks for your reply!
I bought my goldfish from Petco, the tank said Comet goldfish. I shared my fish to a Facebook group... everybody screamed at me!!!!
They are common... Not Comet !!! Lol
Only one has a longer tail fin, the other four have a shorter tail.
Body types all look the same.
The coloring on them is a little bit different two are more gray looking... one of the orange ones had a lot of black that's all turns orange and one of the orange ones is turning white.
Anyway, in one of your question-and-answer videos... you said common and Comet are the same!
The group I'm in seems to think that shortround tells our common and anything that has a longer fancy flowing tail is a comet.
The research I did doesn't really specify!? Could you do a video just on the differences and or there's No difference!?! Lol
Can RFT live w/ goldfish?
My goldfish shredded the Java Fern and Marimo Moss Ball I had put in there, oops. I still love them.
what about small 2 inch sized tinfoil barb?
wil they destroy plants too?
have u guys ever kept them in planted tank?
plz reply, i need help
My goldfish is a 'food hunter' and eats everything. I bought it when it was around 2 inches but now around 9 inches and the problem comes. I've Anubias Berteri with large strong leaves but it just eats the young leaves that have not grown strong enough! I end up move the plants to one end of the tank and built a fence so that it can see the plants but can't get through. Then I added more plants even with small leaves :-) I can feel it was not happy at the beginning but is now looks okay and get used to this setup!
build a wall 😅
Hi. I have just subscribed. I have 6 small goldfish outside in a pond. I am bringing them inside for winter. I am getting their tank ready and this video is great to help me choose some plants. I have a question please. My goldfish are just the ordinary comet type and 2 shubunkins. Can I keep them in an open top tank like yours or will they jump out ? Thank you 🙂
Usually they won’t jump out. Not impossible but usually only happens if they get spooked.
@@AquariumCoop Thank you. Because I have a lid that I want to remove so that I can use a different type of Filtration.
i put a bunch of floating plants in my goldfish tank, excess from my guppy tank and the goldfish ate them all in a day OMG! lol
I recently got my first goldfish which are little feeders I fell in love with while I was working at Petco. Currently there in a bare bottom 5.5 gallon with a little castle, but I know they're gonna get MUCH bigger. I just started putting plants in my betta tank and I've been propagating pothos to put in my frog's tank, so I fully intend on putting some plants in with the goldies eventually.
How did it work out? How are your fish doing?
Sir can i add live plants in my single tinfoil barb tank?
Will they eat the plants?
Please note that my tinfoil is very small and only 2 inches in size
Plz reply fast
I've heard both yes and no for Amazon swords. Can anyone confirm one way or another? I want a couple of fancies but I need to know which plants to sell first.
best thing to do is to test it out for yourself
I want goldfish in my kitchen. 75gl should be great. Sadly the finance committee has not approved this, yet.
Easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission
@@lukeclarke1068 very true!!
Tbh i had luck with smaller anubias species. My goldie is not too big tho, to be fair (stunted growth rescue).
I've seen so lany people recommend moss balls for goldfish. But I've seen rip a chunk out of them. So I've got them separated from the fish along with the rest of the plants.
I found a plant from a lake put it in my 20 gallon for 15 year old gold fish and he ate it
Tried a moss ball with my goldfish and they shredded it. Maybe work in the sump under the tank?
Why do that?
Nature's Finest, as I mentioned, they shredded the moss ball in the tank
@@steventhompson5554right I probably should've said why i asked...
Why keep it in a sump? The point of having it is to see it right? It isnt a plant that filters well/really at all due to its slow growth. Why put it in a sump when you can put it in a tank where you will see it. You can keep moss balls in small bowls and it looks good, you can find pics online.
Can you easily see your sump when looking at the main tank? Do you keep other plants in the sump? Would you be willing to get a light for the sump?
Essentially, how is your sump set up?
Can I have amazon frogbit in my tank with goldfish?
For me, moss balls were a disaster. They kept picking at them until they started to flatten out, and they clogged my filter. I do not recommend moss balls personally.
What about floating plants like water lettuce
Need to overlay this list with salt hardy plants so when I dose the tank i don't have to pull the plants every time...
Why do you have to dose your tank with salt? I've never heard of that being necessary for freshwater tanks.
Master Markus salt’s actually the original fungicide/antiseptic/antiparasitic for fish keeping. A lot of countries don’t let you get OTC meds for fish, and salt works very well for a lot of things.
Java fern is supposed to handle it very well. Also I’m finding water sprite is handling small amounts of salt in the water just fine (I have a semi brackish water fish and so I tend to dump small bits from the brine shrimp hatchery into that tank without rinsing it at all)
