      @armandoa5468 Před 8 lety +12

      With all the time it takes to run his business I'm pretty sure he doesn't have time to post new videos. I think he needs an assistant or maybe even an apprentice.

    Jenny, this video interview was amazing. Ken's setup, expertise, and passion for the hobby are admirable and inspiring. Ken, I hope you keep doing this for years to come, despite the challenges and I love your humility and overall outlook (valuing hard work and general human decency in your business practices). Kudos to both of you for making the hobby more accessible to the rest of us.

  • @sombrs44
    @sombrs44 Před 8 lety

    you two really are amazing! Jenny has helped me become the hobbiest i am today (even though i know i still make bad mistakes on with my fiah) and if it wasnt for her i would have lost the first goldfish i ever owed a year ago and i wouldnt have ever heard of dandyorandas and bought an amazing ryukin from him just 2 months ago. thank you guys for what you do

  • @gingerapplemilk
    @gingerapplemilk Před 8 lety +3

    Aww, I wanna buy fish from him just based on his kind demeanor! What a great guy!
    I can't wait to have a job next year. I'll be able to afford my dogs and my fishies, but I'll just keep my betta healthy and alive for now and we'll see what happens from there.

  • @katietodd9295
    @katietodd9295 Před 8 lety +4

    Gorgeous fish! I only have one "little" goldfish! Actually he is 8 inches so not that little! Looking to upgrade him to a 55 gallon out of his 40 gallon and maybe get a little buddy for my big guy! You are the one who helped him have such a great life! Thank you so much!

    • @mrsdbzfanforever
      @mrsdbzfanforever Před 8 lety

      +katie todd Wow, your fish grew to be HUGE :D That makes me happy ^^ What kind of goldfish is it? And if I could make a suggestion, I'd get a 75 gallon tank instead of a 55 gallon tank so your fish will have more room to move around, especially if you plan on getting him a buddy o.o I can just see your big fish outgrowing the 55 gallon tank in the blink of an eye, and then you'd have to upgrade AGAIN lol

    • @katietodd9295
      @katietodd9295 Před 8 lety

      +mrsdbzfanforever thanks! He is a black moor butterfly. And I will see if I have enough space for a 75. Thanks for the idea!

    • @pugisveryanxious

    Thank you Ken for all your exhausting efforts in making our Passion and Hobby more enjoyable then imaginable
    We would not and could not do this on the level we do it without all of your long tiring days of hard work ,
    And all the headaches that you have to go thru to make it possible.
    Your fish are top of the line , your commitment and service to us as a customer is impeccable and your willingness to share your knowledge and advice is invaluable .Thank you for being you
    And think you Jenny for making this man real to us and letting us see inside of his fascinating world

  • @TiffanyJobi
    @TiffanyJobi Před 8 lety

    His fish and tanks are so beautiful. I kind of lost some of my drive because I lost three of my seven goldfish in my move this summer. That broke my heart. but I still have four wonderful fish left and I need to get some replacements. This video really motivates me to bolster my passion again and reinvest. Love this!

    Wow, this video totally makes me appreciate all the hard work Ken has put into the fish. I am now looking at my gold fish from dandy orandas with a higher sense of gratitude!!
    I am actually from Canada, and I have driven into the states just to pick up the fish because I know they are of the best quality!
    Great video!

  • @MrsBlueEyedBlonde
    @MrsBlueEyedBlonde Před 8 lety

    • @flashofpink
      @flashofpink  Před 8 lety +5

      +Ron Villa He sure does. Though, as he says in the video, he has a web developer that helps with website development and maintenance and he works with a broker that helps him navigate the legal stuff and permits for importing the goldfish.

      @Airhawk360 Před 8 lety

      Not until I looked up some goldfish stuff last night did I even know that an Oranda was a type of goldfish... I would have been so confused when I found out his name wasn't Danny Oranda... didn't even focus on the danny/dandy part either

    I'd like to get back into the hobby sometime soon and I'm already planning on getting my fish from Ken (I can't believe he's only an hour away from me!).
    Also, I'm really happy to learn about Soilent Green from you ~ there're some pretty neat products on the market now compared to when I had goldfish 20+ years ago...
    Looking forward to watching your other videos and brushing up on my goldfish husbandry ~ take care!

    Are your goldfishes Demikins or Moors? Demikins usually have a hump and Moors doesnt. some people would consider Telescope to be moors. So what are they?

    • @emsycola5
      @emsycola5 Před 8 lety +1

      I can't see why not, I'm getting a 30 litre tank second hand for free, whilst they grow in that one I'll be saving up for a 200 litre tank so that once they begin to need that space they'll have it. A smaller tank is fine to begin with but they'll definitely need a bigger tank eventually.
