Goldfish Keeping Tips and Filtration breakdown! I go through my 125 gallon goldfish aquarium tips and filtration tour. Stay tuned for lots of reviews and aquarium keeping videos on this channel...cheers!
I enjoyed your video as they are not too many goldfish videos out there. But I don't understand why you would ever have ammonia in your tank. I have never had ammonia in my goldfish tank as long as your tank is cycled you should not have any ammonia.
Thanks for watching! I think that the build up in the back of the intakes is what occasionally causes a rare slight spike for me. I just blow it out, do a water change, and add some zeolite to a filter. It can happen to anyone with a cycled tank. It happens thousands of times a day with people with cycled tanks. I rarely get a spike and if I do it's minor(less than .50) and I deal with it. I think with me it was a process of learning what worked for my aquarium as far as a maintenance schedule. Since then I removed one of my FX2' s from the aqurium and I like the performance better! Thanks again!
Very nice tanks. I agree with that many goldfish in the tanks you need all that filtration. Everyone looks happy and healthy. Have you considered maybe rehoming a few of the goldfish so you might not have to perform so much maintenance? I had a 125 and loved it but its pretty time consuming doing maintenance.
Thanks so much! I love my goldfish. They are all fully grown so I plan on keeping all of them. Yes...it's more work but I enjoy doing it. Except for when I spill aquarium water all over myself...lol
They are a bit intimidating at first but RU-vid is a great source of help for fishkeepers! As long as you keep food grade silicone on the seals you should be good! There are many videos out there for installation and setup to help. Once you get the hang of it maintenance quite easy. Having biomedia inside of a canister filter is certainly one of the best ways to keep your water parameters healthy for your fish. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers!
If they are Comets or Shubunkin Goldfish like mine I would say yes unless they lived for 5 years in a pond and are 14 inches long! My goldfish are about 3 years old an I would say my 2 Shubunkins are about 11 inches long and fully grown. My comets are all 7 to 9 inches. Fully grown. These fish can live up to 15 years if taken care of properly
