what's up fish tank people fishtanktv.com dustin's fish tank it's
Sunday you know what that means oh yeah it's species Sunday I want you guys to
see how I'm rolling here see how I'm rocking the baby on the chest is the
only way she's quiet and for those of you don't have kids yet a little piece
of inside of you dies when you have your child strapped you in a little man's ear
or whatever the hell this thing is baby born species sunday today folks if you
had to guess what it was about your pool today's species sunday is about goldfish
and i want to talk about goldfish because obviously mine is doing well he
is doing better he's not out of the woods yet I'm not trying to rush it he's
probably gonna spend basically the rest of the season in this pond here doing
what he's doing but I've been loading the sucker up with duck weed I've been
watching him kind of nibble at it hills niblet saw him and spit it out and then
he'll nibble a little swallow some but for the most part he is straight chillin
I want you guys to see him eating just to show you it's crazy dude's got a
bigger mouth than I gave him credit for he's sucking it in there so really
really really enjoying the goldfish let's talk about goldfish well first of
all these were the first type of fish I ever kept so near and dear to my heart
any beginners out there you know start with the basic common goldfish raise
them off they're hearty they can handle some abuse and they're good I was a
history major in college so I want to just kind of drop some science on y'all
about goldfish as we watch my dude here eat goldfish have been kept and this is
raw obviously because this is chronologically this is dated history
but check it out since the year and from the Chun Dynasty in 22 and then here -
65 - 419 the gold first gold coloration of
goldfish were recorded in the Tang Dynasty in the year 1600 - 907 goldfish
were raised in captivity out in ponds and Buddhist monasteries goldfish you
know probably established them so they kept them out in ponds and they kind of
bred them for the traits I'm gonna skip a few things Nang Dynasty 1100 goldfish
raised and domestic ponds white and red colorations developed okay so they're
breeding for these traits 1590 the red cap is developed 59
to globalize 1596 scales melt meted scales calico coloration keeping a fancy
goldfish this is now this is once done by the aristocracy and now it's done by
everyone I want to just think about that for a second here in the year 1596
goldfish became like kept all throughout like widespread you know like they are
now not just the elites in China so very cool there I'm gonna skip down
16:11 goldfish our first imported in Europe into Portugal they're important
to Japan a few years before that they're first bred in Holland in 1728 and just
to skip on to some of the like the morphs like the Celestials where 1870
goldfish first came to America in 1874 Iran doesn't Tiger heads were bred in
1893 or at least recorded pom pom she bumpkins pearl scales all developed into
paint around 1900 and 1910 they curled up for fun I don't know if that means in
the early 1900s comets and veil tails so and then oh and then 1934 Bristol
developed a standard for sure bumpkin she bumpkins are those white ones with
the blue so a little bit of history you can check that out on the Bristol -
aquarius org that's where I got that resource from pretty pretty sweet if I
do say so myself giving a little respect to the ancestry of this bad boy right
here and I want to talk about that though on a higher level for this
species look at him just mounted like these fish obviously we're kept and very
well cared for I mean let's think about this they bred for specific traits a and
then B once they got the they bred first to be crazy a and then be kept breeding
them I mean this fish if you think about the morphology of this it has bubble
eyes it's bright gold it's got black eyes on the top like someone actually
bred this fish to be you know the way it is and repeatedly it wasn't like the
first one came out with like popped out eyes you know and went over and over and
over again so from the year like 1592 what was that
c19 my notes here yeah 15 1592 they've been breeding for those so just shows
you know like really really great fish keepers back in the day doing a lot of
cool stuff you know I mean I like to think that I can make them a little mark
by breeding where you kids won't have you but um yeah it just shows a up dude
as far as keeping goldfish the really Hardy they prefer cold water I'd never
use a heater don't use a heater they're veggie heaters for the most part of that
you can feed him about anything I was reading the people feed them Coco's
goldfish ko ko is goldfish has a really good resource it's a very outdated
looking page but it's very very informative as far as keeping them with
plants you can keep them with onion plants you can keep them with anubius
for have some java fern that's about it kind of think of them is the same way
with cichlids only they're not quite as of violence so real pumps about the way
this guy is eating gonna continue the salt treatment actually need to go get
some more salt i got i and i salt mean that has iodine in it so you need to use
non-iodized so i need to go get some more that if you guys are looking to
save a couple bucks you wanna check that out so yeah my dudes eating goldfish are
sweet you know and i mean really like on a higher level like think about the fact
that like goldfish it first of all goldfish shaders buzz off
but um you know goldfish were like how many many aquarium techniques have been
your created perfected i mean they were breeding for these specific traits you
know if you've ever seen just a straight-up carp I mean these are
ancestors of them so you know it's pretty wild to think about how how much
care went into him and I've said before in other videos I'd love to just have a
big pond or right you can so what have you so I'm gonna try to load this stupid
video this is actually being done with the flip I appreciate everyone's
feedback on there and yeah I got more going on but that's your species Sunday
though shout out to the goldfish people you got goldfish sent me a link to some
sweet Oh important Oh like a housekeeping note
I've decided that it's gonna be best for me to answer your questions your
questions your emails not through YouTube again not through YouTube go to
fish tank tv.com and send me a message on there and here's why if you send me a
message on YouTube like one mallet I get one of them and then I
reply to you so then I get your reply well then I don't see the entire
conversation and I read a lot of emails so I only get like part of our
conversation I feel stupid asking somebody when they tell me like a bunch
of stuff about their aquarium and I don't remember what they told me on the
first part so if you go to fish tank tv.com you register most ER send me a
message on there that's probably the best way to get in touch with me on a
detailed question just so you know because I can read the entire
conversation back and forth back and forth back and forth instead of having
to like dig through old emails that rule top YouTube used to tighten up in fact
on their messaging so you can see the history of everything that was said so
you got a detailed question hit me up on fish tank tv.com driftwood video coming
up as long as this one loads heat up dude you're hero
you're a star they've been breeding you guys since 70 or 1593 good job
