Hey, guys, this is Lei from Goldfish Corner. Welcome back! I guess it has
been for 5 months that I haven't get chance to update in my youtube channel
about goldfish one of the reasons for an always the business is anything else
like baseball my son and I were pretty enjoy playing baseball so but now it's
summertime today so we can switch back to a lot more videos on goldfish so with
that I also want to see my videographer casein is also back from the baseball
and he actually made a pretty good season he hit home wrongly bright
so let's come back to the voltage I think for the for the past few videos
are a talk about spawn and talk about how to raise a goldfish from little fry
or my view the LG management particularly for indoor goldfish 10 I'm
not talking about outdoor goldfish tank that could be different strategy in
general LG is good to your goldfish but you don't want to have too much LG
because too much LG gonna have some sad effect particularly on the vu so keep in
mind so today I want to show two typical tanks that I have in my house I don't
think there's a right or wrong answer but there are always better option to
fit your particular cases today the goal is to show two cases that I'm able to
demo the LG management with two different ways and then
spell 1 which is I recommend it to to the general yin house indoor goldfish
tank maintenance which is this tank so this is about 40 gallon tank and you can
see obviously this is a good combination which is clear crystal clear water and
PLAs green carpet algae on the bottom so if you look carefully there's some
patches for the green carpet algae that is kind of a if you see thick and a dark
algae that was kind of old green carpet algae and I do some periodical
management so if I see too much dark green carpet algae on the bottom I just
used my brushes to brush a little bit so I can leave some space open like this
area so we can allow the new green carpet algae to grow so that's kind of
the what I recommend it for endure go to fish keeping which is the crystal-clear
water combine it with a green carpet algae that could be the golden
combination I want to go through all about other things as you can see when
you have algae in your tank your water quality tends to be right on most the
time so if you look at here a little bit ammonia alert and looks like the
sintered sintered dial is yellow that's a good indicator about a safe zone
there's a zero ammonia I also keep found filter on the side and obviously this is
one spawn future is not enough also has a Hanover filter from the back which is
the aqua clear 11 10 gallon but but overall you see my the regular red
carpet goldfish plus this is kind of a tiger stripe Rancho at the bottom I have
a lot of those blue egg Phoenix spawn which is from this year they kind of
just grow I just release them from the tank the other thing in terms a daily
maintenance after you as able to establish a clear
water and plastic ring carpet you need to for me I need to maintain the front
side as clean so I always use my brush to brush it almost every other day to
make my front side clean so I can view my goldfish however on the side or in on
the back on the back you can see actually I intentionally leave some
green carpet algae from the side because that's actually so basic the more algae
growing our biology the more nutrition in the water and also the more stable
the water and also produce the more oxygen so I wanna that maybe not my view
side to have more algae growth so I leave the front side clean but also I
leave them the other side on the back side to accumulate with the green carpet
algae so I guess the you can see the fish is pretty vibrant and they kind of
enjoy what the ecosystem we got water plant just planted in the water so that
one can reduce the nitrate level so overall I think is kind of a small
little ecosystems work pretty well and you know the good thing is crystal-clear
water plus weeds green carpet algae if you see a kind of a brown algae grow
back you wreck I recommend it you just use your hand to to remove them and just
gently and what I learn in the past tends to be the green carpet algae is
more sticky than the brown algae so and the other thing is brown algae tends to
grow on top of the green carpet algae so you just use a hand to gently scrub off
the bra algae that's it so that's kind of a one style of the clear crystal
clear water plastic or incorporeal G with that I'm gonna move to the next
style which is the the far side of the tank
bringing water again this is the 40 gallon breeder from pedicle and but you
know I still have the the same spawn filter on the back and also it has one
110 gallon over the top hand over filter on the back so busy I have to filter
system I got a for almost two years old blue
egg Phoenix goldfish in the tank and but obviously you can see the the water
becomes totally grain and sometimes you're hard to view the fish but but the
good news is if you look at my ammonia alert they actually also the center now
also light yellow which indicating is a zero level ammonia so overall the system
is pretty good and and then if you look down here so this is actually my their
children from the top tank so this is this year's bounce I got a 10 a good
quality of blue egg Phoenix goldfish they're about four months old and this
is 20 gallons again I kind of a keep the same style
I just keep one spawn filter in the center and also I keep the green water
in the tank so I guess the question is so why I want to keep growing water for
for this you know one is kind of a experimentation I want to see I know
what's important accounts of the ground water so basically what I learned is as
I said life is life is busy I'm not able to do these periodical water change or
management and the other thing is my filter probably not a power enough so I
have to figure out a way maybe naturally to dissolve all the waste from those
goldfish and apparently what I learn in the past is the green water tends to be
the best even though is not a good for view of
watch for watching but the I guess the capability of dissolving the fish waste
is pretty good so every time I clean my filter actually I didn't tend to so much
ghost goldfish waste one of the reason because all of the ways has been
dissolved by the algae in the current water so they have pretty deep reducing
and the other thing is if you if you if you touch the side it's not sticky
anymore because it's kind of a balancing system
you're never gonna get post green carpet algae and green water coexist at the
same time they all competing the resource in the other word if the green
carpet algae wing you you're not going to high chance to get a green water if
you bring water algae wing you're not gonna have a green carpet algae at the
bottom because those two have different algae compete at the resource so for
this case I intentionally to let the green the green water algae win so I can
keep the water that's great if you smiled water the water is not stink at
all it's a fresh water and the fish is pretty vibrant in this tank and the same
as my little goldfish fried tank and the other thing think about it this is kind
of a lot better crowded for 10 go to fish fry so the only the only way that
I'm able to keep the water quality is to intentionally fostering at the green
water so I guess the question is general question is hey which one's better right
as a goldfish keeper gonna ask hey here is a should I go with corn water
Australia was go with clear water with a green carpet at the bottom I think if
you ask me I got a post question back to you it depends who you ask
right so if you ask people or if you ask your goldfish owner
I probably a goal was the other option clean water was green carpet algae at
bat probably better for the indoor tank
keeper from the people view because it allows you to view better and and also
you still have LG but however if you ask a question to the goldfish and the
goldfish might choose this one and you know because I guess the LG is more
evenly distributed it also depends on this on your situation so I feel like
the green water tends to has more waste absorption and tends to have longer
stability of the water quality so that's why I kind of intentionally keep it keep
it this way one thing I want to give you everyone's warning is be careful because
the basically the the green water kind of becomes from light grain to grain to
very green to dark green so when the water approach to dark green you're
gonna be alert you should change the water you don't want to you know I don't
wanna one day if the dark wearing water tends to brown I'll tensed back to
crystal that is the danger point because what happened is as I said the resource
in this tank is limited if it's too much algae grow the algae gonna compete with
nutrition and with oxygen and it was everything eventually they basically
kill each other and your water quality gonna totally change so if you want to
go with green water always keep the color of a grain as light grain or oak
grain do not go very dark green my my criteria is as long as I can see the
goldfish in my tank that's good alright so I guess the next question everyone
are gonna ask is hey you mentioned you intentionally keep growing water and you
intentionally keep the crystal-clear water was growing carbon how do you do
that
I'll save the puppies for next video hope you enjoy today's video and thank
you everyone off til next time
