A Tale of Nubbin- A fish that DIED and came back to life. WATCH BEFORE BUYING A FISH!

- Do not let Nubbin's death go in vain. Learn from the awful experiences of this fish and be sure to NOT make the same mistakes I did. The moral of this story is to do PLENTY of research before buying a living animal, or they will suffer. You must think carefully and research every aspect of caring for an animal or something as simple as turning off a filter can kill them. I have written a few articles on my website lukesgoldies.com that may be helpful, but a LOT more research is required.
Unfortunately, Nubbin had a harsh life because I made many foolish mistakes and did not do enough research. PLEASE do a minimum of 5 hours of research before buying a fish, or they will suffer like Nubbin. I have some articles on my website and more to come, but be sure to do plenty of more research. lukesgoldies.com
Thank you for advocating for proper research being done for caring for another living creature before you decide to adopt it, especially because fish are some of the most commonly mistreated pets, not typically on purpose of course, but because of a lack of research and knowledge about fish keeping.

Is he your mascot
@@hardriverz I think so....
Is it your guilt that also led you to caring for so many goldfish? Because that's how I feel. I feel so guilty about the animals I mistreated because of my inexperience, and because of that guilt I stayed away from owning animals other than my cat. Presumably due to this guilt, I had recurring nightmares about being back in my old home and having all of these animals that were dying all around me, animals I'd never even owned before, far numerous in quantity. I've only stopped having those nightmares because I got my betta. Learning how to care for him and bonding with him in a way, I felt more in control of my actions, and it helped absolve me of a lot of my guilt. I take care of my pets better than myself probably, and I love my lil betta. He's going to be moved from a 5 to a 10 gallon tank soon once I complete the cycling (:
He said what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger

Nubbin on his first 2 near deaths be like...
Luke: What do you say when death knocks on your door ?
Nubbin: NOT TODAY
So death had to gather reinforcements for the one last time.
Nubbin did not go down without a fight, he was such a legend and a Badass.
RIP Nubbin
he was a warrior
@@lukesgoldies hi
@@rudraakshchauhan1172 lmao bruh are you fine
cool
Nubbin my fav fish
R.I.P nubbin, he was very strong, and thanks to him bringing thousands of lives. Well not we know those mistakes are never going to happen again . He was a strong warrior.
I killed a fish the same way when I started. Except I took the intake off the filter to clean it and forgot to turn the filter off. A tiny Ryukin I had got sucked up sideways into it and her gills got clamped shut and she was unable to breath. By the time I found her, she was alive but barely. I tried the airstone revival method too but it was too late. She died on her own a while later. We all make mistakes. I also sucked a fish into a pond pump during winter the same way when I was new at outdoor keeping. He survived and is now 5 years old and doing well. We all make rookie mistakes. The key is to learn from them.
From horror story to heartbreaking. You weave a tale well. RIP Nubbin. I knew you not, but your story has moved me.
You should discuss why you decided to set up a fish tank and what made you choose fancy goldfish over other types of fish to keep. I’d be interested to hear!
I might do that!
@@lukesgoldies Exactly, specially when we do not find much goldfish keepers online now a days, most keepers are oscar, flowerhorn or arowana fans.
This reminds me of something I did when I was younger (though not as extreme)
we had a big school of silver dollar fish in a big tank, I was around 9. One day my mum walked into the room and found the tank broken, we have no idea to this day what broke it, water was leaking from a corner and around 50 dead and dying silver dollars sat at the bottom. We got a few into a tank and they seemed alright, but one we found wasn't looking too hot, so my mum spent 20 minutes with an airstone under its gills trying to get it to move. She gave up, but I didn't want to give up. So I held this silver dollar (around the size of a small plate) and this air stone for 3 hours until it was free swimming in the tub we had it in. That silver dollar lived for another 4 years, when it passed from temperature fluctuations
That is amazing! Inspiring levels of dedication as well!!!
The fact that Luke was able to be so patient to try to save 3 fish and the fact that he was able to bring Nubbins back to life is incredible.
RIP Nubbin
This is very touching and relatable. When I was in high school, they started selling baby betta fish at some pet stores nearby, and I felt super bad for them beung stuck in those tiny cups. So, being a naive teenager with a bleeding heart, I got a few and set them up in different tanks. Then I was lulled into a false sense of confidence by how "easy" they were to care for, and I got several more adult and babies. I won't go through each one's story, but eventually it got to the point that I couldn't keep up with all the maintenance and became lax. Needless to say, none of them are around today.
After I graduated from high school, I went to vet tech school. They don't teach you a whole lot about fish unless you specialize in aquarium vet science, but I learned more about generic animal care requirements and about uneducated impulse purchases of "exotic" or "easy" pets. The overwhelming majority of disease and death of "exotic"(animals that aren't cat, dog, or livestock) pets is caused by inappropriate enclosures or husbandry. As someone who's exposed to cases like that so often, it's almost cathartic to hear someone tell others to be careful and do their research before adopting or buying an animal. Especially someone who loves their pets so much. Everyone loves their pets, but love alone isn't going to keep those pets from suffering from neglect. Education is just as important.
By the way, the betta fish story ends two years later with my sister winning a common goldfish from a VERY shady school event, and even though I refused to get involved because he probably shouldn't have survived 2 days, Timothy refused to die and I used the guilt and lessons from the betta experiences as a catalyst to drive me to research like crazy and help spoil my little scaly nephew. Which, actually, led me to find your CZcams account.
Nubbin is the giga ultimate chad of goldfishes. Man was a legend and still is.
Sharing your failures is very hard, thank you for helping others learn and honoring Nubbin
Nubbin's not just a goldfish, he is a legend. He never gave up the will to live
That little dude is an inspiring tale of never giving up.
How did I miss this masterpiece!!?? I’ve been watching u from day one, little Nubbin will be remembered his death did not go in vain he will go down and the true giga Chad man!!! 😤
He pressed the reset button
I appreciate your honesty with your difficulties in learning to care for your animals. Most animal caretakers on CZcams wouldn’t admit their mistakes when starting out. I had similar learning curves when I first got my leopard geckos. Hopefully future pet owners will be more likely to do proper research before buying their animals.
We lost a great man out there. Much love little pal
fish jesus
haha
😂
I love how your dramatic lighting actually gives you a halo
Oh Nubbin you will be missed.
Thank you for sharing.
may you rest in peace nubbin
The horror 😟 the roller coaster of this story! Reminds me of my biggie smalls RIP, too scared to get a new fish.
I remember once when i was 7 i got my first goldfish fish in a 10 gallon and I "cycled" my tank because i didn't add the benificial bacteria or water conditioner so 2 hours went by and i found him lying on the gravel my dad said it was "sleeping" and the next moring it was floating at the top then I get a fantail it went a little better and another problem was i never did water changes and the only time it was done it was an 100% water change and scrubed down the glass and the next day the fish died because of amonia spike because the benifical bacteria died from the tap water and the chemicals from the soap and the same things happen and now i learned from my mistakes and know am getting a better filter aeration, quality food no colored gravel just white sand and some REAL plants soon getting 2 ranchus and a thai oranda or calico ryukin in a 50 gallon i hope it goes as planed.
Something about the beard makes this video even better
Nubbin,an absurdly powerful fish
Nubbin sounds like the protagonist of a harem anime lol
I will carry Nubbin in a special place in my heart along side 2 other piscean titans: Stumpy and Nemo the Great... until we meet again on yon golden shore!
Nubbins like nah I don't feel like dying
Amazing story teller. ❤
Good story. Good lesson. Good sharing. 👍🏼
Great video mate! Loving the quality 🙌🏼
Thanks a ton!
RIP NUBBIN his death will not be in vien he lives on in our hearts, our souls, and minds. #RIPtothestrongestfishtoeverlive
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like to imagine that Brad and Olivia tell stories of their father nubbins near death expiriences to other goldfish in the tank lol
You are an incredible young man. I love your videos. Keep doing you,
Bro mans goldfish stronger than a arowana
thank you for admitting your mistakes, it's important behavior to model and rare these days! I keep bettas and believe you me, my first few adventures I was very ill informed on their needs and made my own mistakes. encouraging thorough research to avoid learning through our methods is equally important too.
Nubbin rest in peace
Hey Luke I have a question. I just bought the same HOB filter that you have and the water flow out is so strong. How do I turn this down? Or any tips? I’m scared it’s going to stress out my goldfish.
I don’t know if any way to turn the flow down, but mine it not really that crazy strong, I think your goldfish should be okay, just keep the filter face on.
@@lukesgoldies Thank you! I was worried the current would be too strong. Is the filter face the piece attached to the intake?
RIP nubbin. Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve been in the process of researching goldfish for a couple months and I’m open to any advice I can get. So thanks and RIP
When you died but remembered that Bubba still owes you 2 peas...
This hit different for me fly high Nubbin fly high
Love your video’s
This was honestly really hard to listen to. But thank you for sharing. This information is very important for people to know. I love goldfish but from doing my research I know they are NOT the fish for me (if I were to get fish which is probably not for me as well).
Out of curiosity, why do you feel like fish aren't for you? It's awesome you recognized that though! Knowing yourself is important
a similar thing happened to me my fish got cut up because it got stuck in between the glass and filter his scales were ripped off on both sides of his body his mouth was shredded and he couldn't eat i was going out of town that day for a week but magically he lived hes still in my tank and he is my best fish
I feel your pain 💗💗 i had researched a whole ton before getting my birds but no one told me youre supposed to leave seeds out constantly. All the guides and forums said 1-2 tablespoons
Tldr my birbs were nearly starved to death and got health complications because of this weaking them, even the vets and breeder didnt say "youre doing it wrong/this is whats recommended" so because im autistic (diagnosed) i didnt pick up on the subtle correction they did and their subtle word choice
Then i finally met a vet who said "youre starving them" and i came across a breeder forum instead of an owner forum and finally i got good advice (tldr pellets bad, i knew this when it came to other animals so i felt horrible that i didnt apply it to my birds 😞)
So yeah the main message of all this being
Check who youre getting your research from, how long a method has existed, why, what are the scientific consequences etc etc and for the love of all that is good, pellets can never replace proper food and ingredients
Who the hell told you to not leave seeds out 24/7 they have a really high metabolism so they need a lot of food
Nubbin merch please 😁😁😁
Nubbins will always be in your heart
We will never forget Nubbin
Keep up the good work
Nubbin the fish version of Rasputin
Thank you for this. I’ve started the research process for fish and I’m thinking about going with otocinclus. I spent a WHILE researching about ph and cycling tanks and filters and temperature and all sorts of stuff.
Nubbin is a legend
We have a pond that used to have both goldfish and koi, unfortunately I was stupid and flooded the pond, every single koi died. Not one goldfish died. The pond has flooded more than 2 times since then and none have died. One of the goldfish did have issues, it was floating on its side, he had swim bladder issues but he got through it all by himself
Nubbin you are a fighter you didn't stop tell the the end....
Let the legend of Nubbin live on forever
R.I.P. Nubbin
This is fucking great. I have cried when fish have died while fishing or watching people fish. People think I'm such a baby.
Nubbin was the chosen one
Jesus, That is one tough fish.
My little molly fish was a panda molly. My dad got it for my birthday! It was always by the heater or nearly dead, so we didn't name it. Then it got better! And eventually a long time later she had kids! Those kids then went to survive many mistakes we made to learn and many disasters from random things, they are still fighting through adjusting to new tank water! But they are super tough, and they are super cute and happy!
bubba and brad be like: what's goin on luke you creepin me
This is a good life story
"we call him Kaido now"
We need a book!
nubbin was a god he was like : ain’t dying today bois Jesus got my back but one year later mans let go R.I.P Nubbin
“The Lord hath given thy breathe of life to thy Nubbin”
-Reference to Genesis
I have a few questions how old was nubbin when he died how long ago did he die was he your first fish and who are the parents of big bubba
Wow so inspiring
What a legend
Hi luke, i just want to thank you for all the information about ranchu, you are the best, i just have couple question if u dont mind, may i know thr dimension of you fish tank behind you? And baba is ranchu or lionchu? Thanks.
RIP Nubbin. You did your best, as always. My crystal ball is broken too-
R.I.P you will be named the strongest i ever seen. :(
Gosh Dang Nubbin! He did have a very hard life.
my ranchu died after having a parasite that was not treated then he got dropsy and then he got sucked by the filter and then he died with his scales sticking out so much they almost all came off
My mom told me the story of how she bring a betta fish back to life
So one day my brother decided to feed the fish but little did he know he fed them too much and I mean way too much and when my mom looked at the tank the betta fish was sitting on top of the food and it was dead she tried to push the fish back in the water then all of a sudden it woke up and came back to life and that fish lived for another 3 years and that's the story
If I was Nubbin, I'd start to take all these near death experiences personally.
Nubbin the true fighter
We will never forget u nubbin
Nubbin spit in the face of the reaper.. and for that his species lives on. He will be remembered as the genghis khan of goldfish as he spread his seed far
R.I.P Nubbin, a legendary fighter 🙏❤️
Damn this was a good tail to listen to, should have turned off the light at the end of the video 😄 also should have added some background music to make it a little more dramatic .. nevertheless great story of the legend nubin, i can feel your pain on this one 😭
Haha thank you
How am I so taken in by the near death experiences, AND the actual death experiences.... of a fish.?!
On a completely separate side note, I love that we are back in the days of men cultivating magnificent manes of man hair, the bloody brilliant beard.!!
I think we all have the stories about our fishkeeping hobby. A lot of fishes died because of my stupidity and I am still feeling guilty. I was pretty new to the hobby and I kept slot of fish in a small aquarium. Most local hobbyists also do the same and I thought they should be fine but they were not. I was too young to research on internet how to keep the aquarium fish happy at that time. I am sorry to hear about your nubbin.
You're right, I think a lot of people have had to learn at the cost of the lives of their fish at some point. I'm afraid to keep fish anymore because two of my fish died days after I got them because I hadn't done enough research and the rest of my tank was ravaged by dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria.
@@meowwaffles6040 if you enjoy the hobby, you should never give up. You should research about your fish before you buy and that should be enough.
@@kaungzayyan7068 You're right, but my tank is also a reef tank that needs very careful care, it's a lot of work and I'm not sure if I have the time for it, which is a shame, but I'd rather not have more fish and crabs and snails in my tank until I know I have the right time and resources to care for them properly.
I love nubbin sooo much😢🥹😭😥😓🥺😭😭
Love this story sad but good at the same time what would you say the biggest mistake is when people start getting goldfish
The biggest mistake is probably not having a well cycled tank. People add a lot of fish in a tank not cycled enough, ammonia spikes, and they get sick and die.
I raise a tankard with my grog in the name of Nubbin- the toughest goldfish that ever lived. Thank you, Nubbin, for the lessons you have taught us, see you among the stars, Nubbin the Goldfish...
Nubbin never dies #nubbinneverdies
I legit cannot tell if the dude is being serious or not. But it reminds me of the time my orandas survived my stupid mistake of putting too much ich meds in my tank.
Nubin 😭Rest in peace. The importace of doing reaserch before owning a pet.
Nubbin is a pure god
Same happened to my little guy scales ripped up I was too late .. he stuck to the pump whole day so sad 😭
The fish in the background: u.. A am I not.. No wait are we not good in of for you 🙅
Question: I had an albino bubble eye that developed this string of what looked like white pearls coming out of its eye and it would drop the little pearls from its eye and then finally it died. Is that infection?
hello sir. im a beginner fish owner. i bought a tank and fish and etc (aquarium equipment).. my question is how can i maintain my my tank water crystal clear? and incase of power outage what should i do to my fishes that needs airpump? i hope you"ll notice my comment
I've made that mistake before, a couple of times and one time the fish was inside out and I cried
Another time one of the ends fell off and ate a fin, it got infected and we couldn't get methylene blue in time and he passed too. I refuse to let this happen again and I'm going to take preventative measures now (eg quarantine tank, salt, medication, and most importantly Methylene blue)
Omg amazing vid
My Boi jaws died from dropsy and not even at a year old he was 7 1/2 inches and he lost an eye
Only thing that woulda made this better would've been if you had posted this around Halloween with some creepy music in the background...
Poor nubbin
You need to find a musical friend and make this into a sea shanty. 🐟🎵🎶
I had a goldfish that died from getting stuck in the filter a black moor got its tail stuck and lived but died of stress a few days later.
