Really enjoy your vidoes Ryo. You have the best between Japan and Singapore. I'm surprised you dont have an Arowana because you seem to gravitate towards them.
Wow, you really weren't exaggerating about his sump system! I work in the pets area of my local grocery store, and spend most of my time taking care of our freshwater fish and maintaining their display tanks and we just had a brand new sump system installed a few months ago after years of me begging for our old one to either be replaced or heavily improved, and Simon's makes ours look like an amateur level embarrassment! (It's not bad, to be clear. Simon's is just *that* impressive)
Thank you for the kind comment! Simon is one of the most meticulous person I know and is always taking things to another level with his creativity and organisation 🤓
Brand new tank and hasn't had a water change...of course it is clean. Those are some expensive goldfish. I have some ranchus and they spawned. Two of the babies survived to adulthood and now I have 2 orandas. Ranchus gave me orandas 😂
Simon may just be my new fish hero. lol. Isn't he the friend that gave you your arowana tank years ago?? He seems like a great friend as well as a great fish keeper. His Westie is darling; I have a Westie as well. The tri color oranda is my favorite along with the white one (lemon head?) What a treat. Thank you both so much for sharing this with us.
I find a very fine sand substrate can help to keep fancy goldfish healthy and SBD at bay, also lots of shelled peas to keep them regular. Pretty sure it’s constipation most times.
I agree with peas for sbd, but for sand is no. With goldfish you always want to go bare bottom if you want them to be healthy and disease free. Sand traps poop and create bacteria and infections.
@@RyoWatanabee Ooh interesting plant. I'll have to look that one up. Yes, based alone on the video, you could tell he is a very organized individual. Good on him and we'll done. :D
Very clean empty bottom setup, I think I will try something similar in the future. Now I use seiryu stone, gravel substrate with fake plants in it and some real floating plants on the surface. It's a lil bit hard to keep the gravel always clean, even with gravel vac. That's why I might change it to no substrate setup with floaters and maybe some seiryu.
That is overkill filtration. I have seen fancy goldfish with simple sponge filters and they did great. Best to keep water 12 inches deep or else you will increase buoyancy issues. Goldfish farms keep their water only 12 inches deep for health reasons.
I love the white goldfish with a kinda looks like a pink head what kind of fancy goldfish is it? The tank looks great job I’m in the process of putting up my 60 gallon tank up for my 3 fish 2 are black moors and a brown with gold colored body very big around 6 in big. I would love to add a fish like the white one you have. I live in California.
I guess you have less problems with algae as the lighting can be weaker and in a spectrum that won't be suitable for plants. On the other hand you have more dirt produced by the fish and no stones or plants that "hide" it.
not a ideal tank for goldfish: *For goldfish tank height--max 18 inches to avoid SBD *Don't cover up your goldfish tank as goldfish take 50% Oxygen from air, rest from water *Goldfish need daily new water atleast 15-20% so that big sump is waste of money. for 4 feet system a overhead sump enough or a canister.
