what up fish tank people fishtanktv.com dustin's fish tanks bringing it to you
on a Sunday how is everybody doing hope you're doing well hope you had an
awesome week got a lot an awesome week 20 of them so it was crazy
a lot of fun there I mean it's summertime it's cooled off a little bit
here it was nice adult I'll saw some of my family so life is good folks life is
good so the TV tank is rolling by the way this is set up in the middle of my
garage for my wife is thrilled that she can't pull her car in because I've got
my old e36 Beemer right over there and then my TV tank set up here in the
middle so we're going to move it you can see it needs a water change look we just
wanted to get some water to show you for the last video here but we - we'll talk
about what we're going to put in it right because that's the fun no point
just building it without putting some fun in it so I debated a bunch of things
to put in the tank I thought about doing a whole bunch of like 40 neons in it you
know I threw around a couple ideas perhaps some cichlids which we might
have some of that coming on a little later but you know I had the one go fish
in there and I felt good about it so today I want to talk about putting
goldfish in a planet aquarium and how I'm going to do that so I'm kind of
jacked about it um we're going to put some goldfish in here 29 is not that big
of a tank by the way to put in goldfish in but I want to just talk about today I
want to talk about like I think I got one two three four five species for you
all and then I also just want to talk about some goldfish like things to
consider when setting up a planted goldfish tank okay so the first thing
folks the first thing is that goldfish are perpetually like scavenging they're
always like boom-boom-boom just eating this constantly is going going going so
that doesn't bode well for plants alright it doesn't you know the plants
are going to get picked at it's just going to happen okay so just know that
your plants are going to get picked on but you can get some different species
that might not get eaten as badly the second thing is they get big
I mean goldfish you know get decent size for the most part so they're going to
get bigger and then I'm going to take them to the
thing what type of goldfish are you trying to keep there's a big difference
between keeping Blackmore's versus you know keeping koi or comets or something
like that and I reference Blackmore's because they got the you know goofy eyes
to stick out top of head but those might not be too bad in the planet tank
because they can just like sit there and pound at the top and eat all the
duckweed at the top and just kind of they're not they're not quite as
ferocious verbs like I like your comment can like sit there and just going BAM
and just like just blast plants like full tail you know just just nailing
plants in and taking them out so obviously koi as well which you
wouldn't put coin at Twentynine but anyway um so those are things to
consider and then this is the fourth thing and I think this is really
important and we talked about it with the nitrogen cycle video a while back
but the waste output of goldfish is ridiculous okay they're constantly
eating they're constantly pooping I did it our goldfish silver fish article on
this the plants to fish ratio you're going to have to have a shit ton of
plants with goldfish okay because you're going to want a lot of plants because
they're going to be making a lot of poop so we want to come full cycle with that
so we want to really want a lot of plants I mean you think about like a
goldfish has like a wider bigger body so like you've got a rainbow fish this big
and you got a goldfish this big the goldfish is going to have a real you
know thicker body depending upon the type of goldfish obviously but you know
generally a thicker body and just a lot more poop than a fish of the same link
that I'm using rainbow with parallel whatever so that's the the things to
kind of consider um you know and then you are limited some of your species but
let's talk about some of the species folks um y'all I got this one of the
things to consider I got this this is Sagittario chill Ensis this is
like fat sad giant sad I'm a big fan of this little runner on
that action I'm loving this I will try this out in the goldfish tank that's not
to say they just can't go tap it down it but it's got like the little bit thicker
leaves on it so it's something I would try that's one to try what I definitely
recommend though right here's mr. java fern java fern harder your leaves like
thicker leaves I'm not saying goldfish won't eat it but
it's got a shot okay so I would definitely get this stuff on here and
yeah roll with some some java fern for sure spread it out
I'm real good and I'll show you that in the next video how I'm going to set this
up um I don't want to have a big fan of just straight up onion plant also you
know the Krenim Callum astronomer come in at ants these probably don't taste
that good so I'm definitely I wish I had more of them in stock right now but
these are a hot little number that I would totally use in a planet goldfish
tank for sure I like the way they look too I think they look sweet in a tall
tank like that so that and if I got to share this how about anubias coffee
folia y'all all what's up with this look at how beautiful this plan is this is
the sexy number and I guess plate number five wants to come too but yeah anubias
California could be thomething I would totally try and a goldfish tank as well
because anubius you know thick thick leaves on it real rough rugged you know
rhizome you could tie to a piece of driftwood or what have you so definitely
new is we want to consider and this is another dark horse which I haven't
actually had in a goldfish tank but I'd be willing to try it
this is our friend mr. Chris Morales Grips Morales this you know has such it
says she has such fast growth rates and it has these kind of thicker leaves that
I would try this out so those are some species that I would try out here I stay
tuned next week I'm going to get this bad boy drain I'm going to actually move
it to my wife can pour karna grach happy wife happy life
y'all know what I'm talking about so uh yeah that's what I'm doing oh I also
forgot to mention with with bull fish you got to have the herpes yep y'all we
got the duckweed up in this mofo so duck weed all day long keeps the
goldfish active get some get some eatin it I mean it this is just this is this
would be a like a star bonus something that they would just Mao on ideal you
could get a mount on it all day long that way leave your other points alone
so duck we do something else so that's what's up folks go throw a couple
goldfish in this mold fall if you like what I'm doing subscribe download those
top ten ticks and make it a great week boat tank on
