DESTROYING My Fish Room

  • ▼ LOTS OF INFO ▼ Issues in my fish room have led me to completely tear everything down, throw tons of stuff away, and sterilize everything that remained. I still have most of my goldfish, but I have suffered many losses as their treatment continues. Everyone's favorite, Clyde the butterfly telescope, passed away on May 14th.

    @CreativePetKeeping Před 7 lety +52

    oh goodness... watching you cry made me cry. Its so hard to loose fish..especially when you have to deal with the loss while trying to figure out what happened. Its incredibly stressful.. especially when you have thousands of people watching you.
    I think you should go ahead with fan funding. As youtubers we have a hard time asking for help... its something I'm still struggling with myself...but youtube is all about community and sometimes we need help from those people that used our videos to help themselves. It goes full circle.

    Have you considered sending Clyde's body to a veterinary facility for a necropsy? It might give you some answers, and closure. So sorry you're going through this, I can't imagine how difficult this would be. 💔

    • @ambersherry4869

      Because if she went to the vet to have Clyde get a necropsy, she would know what caused Clyde and the other fish to act the way they did and how to prevent it so she wouldn't have to lose other fish from this.

    Dude, I don't know if you'll see this. But you're the reason why I fell in love with fish. And you're there reason I've went out and bought two orandas. They've been with me for two years and I love them. I'm so sorry and saddened that this happened to you. Just know that this will get better. I'm so sorry about your fish, and I understand that he was your baby. Sure, people think I'm crazy for getting this attached to a fish. But just know that you've created such a positive impact in my life, and many others. We'll always be here. I hope the best for you, and I genuinely pray that things get better for your fish.

    • @PtitBebelapinoublanc
      @PtitBebelapinoublanc Před 7 lety +9

      Elisa Sandle I agree. I personally think properly insulating and finishing the fish room should come first, and is obviously more necessary. I'm thinking the cabinet thing is a GREAT idea of hers but an easy distraction... which comes sooo often & easily during times of stress and loss. It's ok though, so nice to see a community of people come to support others.

He isn't normally a watcher but I wanted to see what was going on and I've been a watcher for a long time and feel the loss. I hope you continue making amazing videos and the new fish room is better and greater! This month has been hard but in life the storms always clear up, and the sun will shine. -Christopher Adkins

    @adayliac4053 Před 7 lety

    I'm so sorry you're having these troubles with your goldfish. I used to have 3 goldfish (in a 60 gallon tank) and things went from great to me losing all of them in under 2 weeks, and it was something similar to what you're seeing with the cloudy layer of slime(?) starting to coat the fish. It was so devestating to me that I took apart my tank, bleached it, and I didn't want to get fish that I would get so attached to again so I wound up making a tropical community tank (that basically got taken over first by guppies and then by a snail/pest problem). I don't have a tank anymore because of all the issues I'd run into, but your videos always bring me back to thinking of my goldfish babies, and I love watching your fish. Thank you for making videos of them!

    one way i like to deal with fish death is that no matter how long they lived for at least they didn't (hopefully) die alone,and that they had a better life with (owner) then at the pets store or cramped space.

    I am so sorry to hear everything that has happened to you and your fish. Your passion for goldfish is so evident, and it can be so hard to lose your favorite fish, especially in a hard time. Take it slow, rebuild, and I am certain things will get back to better than they ever were.
    I would be more than happy to pitch in funding to improve your fish room, and I know other would be as well! Best of luck Jenny! We have all learned so much from you and I know that will never change.

    I've also had a fish that if she was okay, everything would be okay. Her name was Private. She got stuck in my aquarium between stones and died. So I completly understand your feelings when Clyde is gone.
    My boyfriend knew Private was my favourite and bought me a new white goldfish. Of course at first I thought that new fish can't replace Private. But I named it Private 2, and after some time loved it just like Private :) Hope you deal with your fish issues and find a new fish like Clyde :)

    Sorry for your loss.. You really need to section off a room inside that tin shed to properly insulate it. There's no shame in having a smaller collection, when you're better equipped to provide the absolute best husbandry possible.

  • @persikiclingstone1231
    @persikiclingstone1231 Před 7 lety

    recently I have been having devastating problems as well with my fish, it ended up being the water from the tap was to blame. The city has been working on water mains around my house and contaminated the water. so now I have to do water changes much slower with filtered water. It's been a task, it's exhausting, I didn't know what happened till too late for most my fish. I really truly hope your fish heal and you seem to have them in treatment for any pest/fungal/bacterial infection which is rough as well. Just remember that out of all the bad days, trust me we have them too, you are always going to learn something new. There will always be days where all you want is to shut down and lock out the world, and if you need that take a vacation. No one will have a problem with that. I'm 💯% supportive of you taking care of you. Stay Gold hun

  • @belovedstump
    @belovedstump Před 7 lety

    sorry to hear about your loss. thank you for talking about it though. i went through a similar experience with dropsy and my longtime buddy Rusty (shabunkin comet). tried everything but eventually had to euthanize. made me want to get rid of my tanks, but then i decided i would work even harder (and more importantly smarter) to make sure my negligence would never be a factor again. my other fish have definitely benefited. I think you can absolutely turn this around and make way more good come from this awful situation than seems possible now. again, thanks for talking about it and showing that this is something that can even happen to the best of us. lots of love from my household!

  • @everist22
    @everist22 Před 7 lety +14

    I will donate.
    I've had a couple of Goldfish mass deaths - so I know what your going through - it does get better so stay strong.
    My experience, in Australia, is that imported fish (in my case from Japan) are weaker than locally bred fish - I think the Japanese breeding has pushed particular goldfish varieties very far genetically.
    I now regularly salt my fish, use bio filtration and UV sterilisation. I also do regular and fairly large water changes.
    A varied diet (including wheat germ in winter) helps grow healthy fish.
    Best of luck. Simon

    Hey Jennie, I've been subscribed for a while and I'm not one to comment on videos but my hearts been breaking for you, you're one of the biggest reasons I've started my Oranda tank and I've learned so much from you from you, your channel is the first I go to when I have any questions and I'm always constantly checking your channel on Fridays to watch your new videos. My deepest condolences go out to you on one of the hardest times, I understand the heartbreak of loosing a beloved fish and would love to donate to your indoor aquarium wall and for the fishroom as well, I'll be wearing your beautiful shirt with Clyde on it for a very long time, he may be gone but he'll never be forgotten, S.I.P. To all your beloved lost fish but especially to the King of the fish room, once a king, always a king. Sending all my love and positive vibes your way.

    Cynthia is amazing! She gave me a call when I had some problems and lost a few fish to try to help and give her condolences for the lost goldfish. It's an awful and frustrating thing to deal with! Whenever I've had a fish pass away it's so easy to blame yourself and wonder what YOU did wrong, even when these things just happen. So sorry for your loss. Nothing that you did is overkill, it's incredibly difficult to get rid of some weird "bug" when you don't just start new.

    A bit of advice about the renovations you want to do. Try to find some recycled materials. I've been watching a shepherds hut build by a guy called Dave Erasmus. he has cut cost dramatically by using recycled stuff wherever possible.

    This to shall pass. I am sorry for your fish loss one of the things about getting bigger is things are harder to control. I have just gotten back in fish after a 20 year break. You are a bright inspiration. Take your time and start rebuilding when you feel good about it. You will have lots of support.
    Best Regards

    I'm not a huge goldfish fan however I found you thanks to The king of DIY and I've been checking in on your videos since because your goldfish are all so pretty. Its also thanks to you I identified seed shrimp in my 30 gallon betta/community.
    I don't know what personal life challenges your facing however I wish to say what I think every time I watch one of your videos.
    Your fish must love you. Your trying so hard to keep them happy and healthy and to me watching you put your hand into the tank and watching you hold a fish is amazing. They don't look like their struggling a lot so that has to mean that they trust you to handle them like that. Your trying your best. I'm sure your fish also know this. Sometimes our best isn't enough.
    If you need I'm sure your fans wouldn't mind if you take few weeks break from videos. Your health and happiness is most important.

Thank you and keep on trucking!!!

    As soon as you're ready to put up the fundraiser I'll start donating. It is only the fairest of occasions, many of us have followed, watched, heard and learned from you every step of the way. I guess it's time for us to give back something very much well deserved in return. Hundreds of us need you and we'd hate to see you and your passion fade away, that's not happening so we're ready whenever you are! I am terribly sorry about Clyde but remember that all the other chubs need you still and many more will come to stay in your heart just like Clyde did. Best of wishes and luck GoldieGoddess ❤️

    @serenekwiatkoski9381 Před 7 lety +3

    I'm so sorry to hear all this! When it rains it pours right? But I had something very similar happen to me about 7-8 years ago, I've always had fish since I was young and out of the blue my whole tank systematically crashed :( one by one my fish developed what looked to be Velvet, but then each fish (including a betta I had had for like 5-6 years) died with what looked like dropsy (along with the velvet looking stuff) I haven't had fish since( I live in Florida too so not sure if it could be some sort of graphical thing??) I broke my tank down cleaned it and it set in storage for a long time. I actually cleaned it and set it up again but no fish in it.

  • @kittypage9991
    @kittypage9991 Před 7 lety

    It breaks my heart to see you hold back those tears for Clyde. I lost my female calico ryukin over dropsy and I was too late to treat her. you also mentioned you used the same equipment for all your main tanks, that was my same mistake and that's how my calicos got sick. I would happily donate just to see you start over and figure out how to prevent another contamination disaster. I've spoken to Ken Fischer from Dandy Orandas yesterday about what happened to my calicos. he said to try this method: Nitrofuracin Green from NFP. most fish farms use this to treat all types of perisites internal and external. they also use it for their shipping bags when shipping fish. Hope this small tip helps you love. don't give up! you and many other fish hobbyist are the reason my partner and I are growing our own fish farm in CO. much love and stay strong my friend.

Make sure to take some time to your self and relax, we all love you, best wishes❤️

I've learned so much from you! and yes you deserve all the help and love and support you are receiving. I understand how hard these things are. My 8-year goldfish died 2 days ago out of nowhere but I now have an idea after talking with other goldfish parents that are experts. I came here to watch about your trip to Japan and to keep up with your channel because work had me so busy lately I had no time for fun, and when I saw this my heart dropped. :(

    I am truly sorry you are going through this! Since you live in Florida, could you contact the veterinary department at the University of Florida (my daughter's Alma Mater!)? They have an extensive commitment to fish research because of the ornamental fish industry. Perhaps they have either encountered it or would want any info or samples you might could provide. There are others going through, or will go through, this devastating illness.

    My best advice is to keep busy and do one day at a time, trust me you don't want to be stuck sitting around and feeling upset, its worse that way. best of luck to you, i'm truly sorry you've had to go through all this.

  • @jessicabella5762
    @jessicabella5762 Před 7 lety

    Stay strong my friend! I too have many problems with goldfish and often times swear I'm never gold fishing ever again. I have problems when the weather changes and it's always dropsy. I can cure it but about a year later they get it again. I often compare goldfish to thoroughbred horses, because I have had many. They have hearts of gold, but are very sensitive and delicate. They, like goldfish, have many health and lameness problems that other breeds would not even blink an eye at. Like goldfish, these problems that they get would probably not harm other hardy non modified species. But, because we love them, we keep trying. I would donate a small sum to help keep your channel going and to help you recover from this devastating event. Keep your head up and this too shall pass. Good luck🐠

    Don't be alarmed by the noise outside. It's just me digging through your trash. Anyways... I'm real sorry to hear about these issues. I've been having a similar issue since some new fish from the store brought me some nasty internal parasites. I'd be sure to give the fish that you're treating some probiotics and top quality food as well as tons of aeration. Perhaps you should also cover half of the holding tank so that they have a dark spot to go to when they need.

Tearing it all down was probably for the best, seeing how infectious it was. I would definitely donate to help restore your fish room and for the new cabinet! You could aim for the fish room redo, but if you don't have enough to do the project do the cabinet instead. The cabinet is very cool but I'd like to see the fish room redone. Hang in there!

      UV sterilizers are helpful and I have used them in the past, but they do not 100% sterilize every cubic inch of water. You can still have bad disease outbreaks when using UV sterilizers. They are most helpful for keeping the water crystal clear, not much beyond that.

    We cannot control everything in our hobby, no matter how hard we try. Take some time, figure out what the hobby means to you moving forward. Set a clear goal for yourself and keep going.

    Im so sorry for your loss... I saw Clyde a couple years ago very shortly after I got my first 2 black moors and began my own fish journey...he was the first goldfish that made me want to really get into it as a hobbyist because he was so striking and beautiful and Ive been watching your channel ever since. You inspire me everyday as a goldfish lover and hobbyist and I can only imagine losing Clyde is akin to when I lost my Storm. She was a huge pure white Ryukin that a grew from a baby to the size of my hand before she passed from dropsy almost a year ago...I stayed up all night with her when she started to go downhill, I didnt have the resources (or the strength because she was my baby) to euthanize her, I just tried to treat the dropsy as well as I could. I hope that whatever is going on with your fish subsides soon. Thank you for showing all the sides of goldfishing keeping. ♡♡♡
