Wait but what if you soak the fish pellets Before they eat but the fish don’t have any health problems will it be good for them or will it just be like a normal meal for them?
@@strudledudle1833 so air is bad for your fish? Stupid.... how do you think they oxygenate there blood? With air... and they float so it won't sink and rot causing ammonia spikes...
My Goldie was floating and we thought she was dead but I came upon one of your videos and she’s perfectly fine now back to herself 🥰 🐠 thx for the advice we appreciate your videos!
You are literally the only person I go to to get information about fish and your fish. I used to own fish, and your information really helped me take care of them, so thanks!
I used to have two beta fish that I fed dry pebble food. They instantly became bloated. I tried everything, cleaning out the tank frequently, getting rid of plants putting plants in but nothing worked. Finally I tried soaking the pebbles before and also gave them soaked krill. The bloating wasn’t as bad but was still there. The fish lived for about 2 years but sadly died. Later I got two more fish. I completely cut out the e pebbles and started giving them flakes. Now there is virtually no blotting. One fish died of old age but the other is alive with me for 3 years now (assuming she was not that old when living in the pet shop). I love her very much and am happy she isn’t bloated.
I am so glad to see that it's normal practice to let the pellets soak! I do this with all my aquatic animals, including axolotls. They rarely get pellets, they get worms mostly but sometimes, I spice it up with a little variety and soak the pellets. That's mainly because they be one buoyant and get sucked in the filter before they get eaten... Which is annoying. Anyway, glad to see I'm not wrong for doing it!
I started keeping aquarium back in 2007 and the first fish that I brought were tomato capped goldies. Since I was a beginner I used to give them pallettes directly and in large quantity. Most of them died within 10 days because of swollen bellies and Bloating. Like this I lost 2 more batches of fish. I searched for it with other good sellers, and they told me the same trick as soaking pallettes will release extra air and this way it becomes big just like Sphaggeti or rice. After that hardly any fish died because of this reason
It’s selective breeding and Im pretty sure it is actually a survival disadvantage cause they’ll just die without a human taking care of them so they don’t exist in the wild
I'm sure their ancient ancestor just had a tiny pad of skin that protected their noggin when they bumped into stuff, those goldfish survived better than ones without the bump, female goldfish might've liked how it looked so it got a little bigger over generations, until finally some breeder with zero restraint went "I CAN BREED THESE GOLDFISH TO HAVE FACE TESTICLES"
To avoid swim bladder problems, I usually not only soak my pellets but also use a rafter to put them underwater and crush them to make a paste. Call it excessive, but brings me peace of mind after my tilapia and about 6 goldfish died these last 2 years
I knew that soaking was good for Goldies with swim bladder issues because they would sink and thus the fish wouldn’t gulp up any air whilst trying to eat food floating at the surface, but I didn’t know that it was also to increase the density of the food by replacing the air pockets within them with water.
I do this for my beta fish. Makes it easier for them to eat because I was worried they were choking. I’m glad it has other benefits that I did not know.
Something cool. Dogs can have problems with the air in their kibble too. I dont have a dog yet but have been studying dogs and dog health and found out a lot about food for animals. Lots of dogs don't tolerate kibble like people think. It has too much air or grain or not enough of uncommon meat products. Some dogs get bloat and can die from it. I didn't know that, I'm so glad I found that out now so I don't have to have that heart break like that.
So from what I understand soaking the pellets can prevent issues and it doesn't seem to take very long I guess I would always soak the pellets if I had goldfish🐟
Or you could just buy different food for them that's not designed to float. The point of pellets is to float so that fish who feed off the top of the water eat the food before it sinks to the bottom and rots.
I really wish I knew this before I bought a beta on a whim at a pet smart if owned them before so I knew what to do I got him all comfortable and his water prepared and everything. I’d thought I’d bought a pale white, with a red stripper one, so a few days in and he couldn’t eat a single thing. So I bought a new type of food, he liked the dry pellets the flakes, so that worked I finally got him eating two weeks go by and he changed colors to vivid blue red with a hint or green, beautiful, but then he started swimming straight up and down, so I did some research and sure enough he had swim bladder issues I did everything I could for him but he ended up dying after only about a month in my care, it was way more upsetting than I thought. I put in a lot of work to make sure he was warm enough getting him live plants and a huge tank and he died without much warning.
I just feed flakes and mix them arround the tank. They are easier to digest and they all end up in the rocks so the fish keep busy pecking at the rocks looking for little pieces of food.
People swear by sinking pellets, but there's a reason that floating fish and swim bladder issues are insanely uncommon with POND kept goldfish which almost always eat floating pellets.
You can put pellets in a syringe with some water, then close the opening with your finger, and pull to make a vacuum. After you let go, all of the air is gone out of the pellets
Back when I was able to keep goldfish before moving into an apartment I used to feed New Life spectrum, it was a sinking food that you could actually clump together like Play-Doh so you had the ability to select pellet size for different fish.
Peoples always says that having a fish as a pet is easy Thats why gold fishes die every day cuz they aren’t getting treated like the way they have to be Massive respect to the guy ❤️❤️🙌🙌
Your goldfish are so beautiful and healthy looking. My father had Orandas and Fantails in the 70's, he had a mirror made for the bottom of the tank. It was really beautiful at night with the light on. Too bad there is no goldfish emoji. Why isn't there?
You can also do rhis with puppies to transition them into hard food. I usually let the hard food soak in water until it's puffy and soft, so that the puppies can eat it easier. Then I slowly transition into hard food for them, that's what I did with the litter of puppies I have currently
Fastest way to soak the pellets is to put the required quantity in a big syringe body with some tank water. Then put the syringe back pushy thing inside. Close the front nozzle with thumb and pull the pushy thing backwards. Coz the pressure inside the pellets get filled with water instantly and the pellets become water soaked. I use this method coz I don’t have patience
and my friend called me crazy because i did this for my goldfish lol they are fat and very prone to a swim bladder issue XD i love them P.S. if your anyof your fish get clogged up feed them a peeled pea, itll make them poop faster than chiptole
It's always better to give "Sinking Feed" to Goldfish because the digestive track of these fish is not developed properly and hence they get bloating problems easily. Also "Floating" pellets have high air content, so it's better to use the way suggested in above video.
If anyone is asking if its ok that the fish is out of the water and it probably can't breathe it's ok to take out a fish out of a water they can still breathe as long as there wet
One of the worst things for your goldfish is to let it surface gulp. Goldfish are a type of carp and are bottom feeders. Had an ex who fed her goldfish non sinking flakes and floating pellets, and she lost many goldfish. I told her exactly what she did wrong but she didn't listen and now she has no goldfish cause she "knew what she was doing"...
Not Only goldfish but also bettas and certain cichlids too. Always have frozen and flake foods on hand If you are in a hurry and don't have time to soak pellets.,
I love how they just quickly spin around and around to get their food. Imagine having to forget any problems for like 5 seconds and eating free food and living in fresh, clean, wadurr. Edit: wait they can remember things for years?
Cats should also be fed wetted food. They're a desert species and biologically speaking, they're used to getting all their water from the food. Try offering your cat 2 dishes. One with wetted pellets
I got 6 goldfishes from a guy once in a fish bowl..The next day all of them died..for no reason absolutely..I went back and he told me that you might have over feeded them..Then I bought some more fishes..And feeded them accurately..They too died after 2 days..Then I felt bad so I stopped getting fishes from then...
I actually like this video because I used to have a two goldfish and both died so maybe this video was helpful to me so next time I get a goldfish I will do that.
When fish swallow dry pellets, the pellets will swell inside them as they absorb the fish's fluids. The pellets are smaller when first ingested so the fish eat more and don't realize that the pellets will swell up inside them and cause problems. I always soak my pellets for that reason.

So fish farts are a thing?

Thanks for ur advice
Pov: you’re watching this even though you don’t have a goldfish.
We have other fishes in the aquarium
we have turtles
We have diabetes
@@alishba3139 I dunno if this is a joke, but if it’s NOT a joke. Then I wish you recover from diabetes.
Fr me, I wish I have a goldfish
So if I soak my chips before eating them I'll consume less air... ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ I'll do it 4 u luke
Tell me how it goes
Nooo Wet chipsヘ（。□°）ヘ
I’ll be here when you do it
Good
Tell me how they taste?
One of my Ranchus has been having some floating issues the past few days. I’ll definitely use this after fasting him.
make sure they are sinking pellets too
You can try blanched deshelled peas if those methods don't work. Don't feed too often though
@@lemonlizard1 yeah you are right, peas serve as a laxative which will help clear the bloating in the fish by clearing it's digestive track
@@ashwathsalaskar52 I normally feed my goldies peas once a week for thar exact reason. Plus they absolutely love peas lol
Duckweed helps with that also
I gotta try this out, thanks for the advice
I gotta try it for me I always have gas problems
@@andrewbobat stop eating fish food? Lol🤣
Don't try it please... it's just gonna sink to the bottom and get caught in the gravel, then it's gonna rot causing an ammonia spike...
FYI: Fish pellets have air pockets inside so they can float longer.
Yeah so it doesn't rot in the water. Doesn't mean it is good for the fish
@@strudledudle1833 so air is bad for your fish? Stupid.... how do you think they oxygenate there blood? With air... and they float so it won't sink and rot causing ammonia spikes...
@@strudledudle1833 fish don’t have lungs. They can easily release the air.

A shrimp named that would be cute

Oh thank you, I appreciate this very much. My daughter will be getting another fish soon and we like the advice.
THEY’RE ADORABLE 🥹
I used to have two beta fish that I fed dry pebble food. They instantly became bloated.

I only admire the goldfishes brains/heads i mean there so cute❤🧡💛
Meanwhile my flowerhorn literally tries to eat the bubbles in his tank 💀
suicidal.
Why tf did these fish evolve to have a ballsack on their forehead? What survival advantage could that possibly offer them

✨ITS RAINING PELLETS✨
✨FROM OUTTA THE SKY✨
I've never thought of them eating air from pellets before, but it makes so much sense.
Thanks for the biology lesson 🙂
The way the fishes move their mouth so adorable, the noot noot pingu sound plays in my head with it.

I have a question what’s your biggest fish love your videos
If he feeds all his fish like this, none of them get old enough to get big... this way of feeding fish kills them
Ok thx you
The goldfishes look so active.

Don't even have a gold fish but I still like learning 💪
there’s less air in the pallets, so they don’t eat the air, that means they ate less air
ok lol
The way they eat the pellets is so funny and cute, it's like they're pogging at every little pellet they get XD
If anyone is asking if its ok that the fish is out of the water and it probably can't breathe it's ok to take out a fish out of a water they can still breathe as long as there wet

"Goldfish eating asmr"

Goldfish Gourmet Tips
Also stops the pellet from growing inside the fishes stomach. Could be bad for smaller fish like bettas.
Those goldfish prone to swim bladder issues are called fancy goldfish which are all deformed and would all die within weeks of hatching if in the wild
My fish get soaked food because they were raised in poor conditions. I was unaware of this when I got them but they are more prone to issues.
That yellow goldfish is such a beautiful color
No wonder why my betta fishes get swim bladder disorders pretty often, this might help me a lot!

My brother's goldfish would only eat feeder fish lol.
Those nuggets must be the happiest nuggets in the history
well i take care of clown loaches and janitor fishes and chichilids and molly's in the same tank i feed them pellets and algae crackers
