- I was thinking about naming him Theodore but unfortunately, he passed before I could even think much about it. So RIP Theodore, I wish I could have gotten there sooner, I will take good care of your friends and make them healthy strong goldfish. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to check out the merch: beacons.ai/luk...
Poor guy. What a shame. You’ve got a good heart, Luke. He definitely would have had a good home with you.
No one is good

Poor mushroom cap, thank you very much Luke for trying to save him. I’m sure he his last moments were filled with happiness knowing he was going to a home that was going to try and help him. Unfortunately sometimes they’re just too far gone. I experienced that with my first time rescuing a better from a pet store it was awful. He had severe swim bladder issues too, and he only made it a couple of months after I rescued him. I’m so sorry that happened though. I know how much it sucks to have them pass away right during the acclamation process. It’s very discouraging, but you have all of those other guys that you were getting a new life too and helping some of those feeder goldfish would be food for turtles are other fish by now, but you’re giving them a new life which is amazing. I hope the little guy with ammonia runs does good breaks my heart.

It's so sad, he didn't get to try to save him :( but he was going to do all he could
Bro wrote a paragraph about this sad video
You earned my respect
" I’m sure he his last moments were filled with happiness knowing he was going to a home that was going to try and help him"
the intention of your comment is great, but I'm afraid this goldfish has no brain capability to know where he was going.
@@EarthshakerOnamazu yeah they have
@@chowdhurywilddenindiabatanagar they don't. they are just fish.
Sometimes petshops have these exquisite fish that people surrender for some quick cash, when I had goldfish I actually "rescued" a couple of fish in this situation too (albeit not this severe). I used to visit every shop in my area on a monthly basis just for this, because otherwise some stunning animals would have had this fate sooner or later.
Permits for selling live animals should be way more strict... Only reputed breeders/shops that actually provide conditions for their animals and educate possible buyers should be able to sell animals.
Also, like some people have already said, you could branch into goldfish rehab videos, watching goldfish thrive in your care is phenomenal and heartwarming to see.
I wouldn't had said better
Its just a fish .
Why we do t we worry about fixing our fucked up foster care system instead of worrying over glorified bugs
@@evil1by1 Damn edgelord, I guess you're right and you totally didn't pull that association from far up your arse. My bad. 🤡
@@evil1by1 terrible person
@epik_gaming9824 me when people don't understand that you can care about multiple things at a time (and that taking care of a fish is easier to do individually than fixing something as big as the foster care system)
I was at a pet store 4 or 5 months ago and this oranda was absolutely covered with ich amongest other problems.. he literally looked lifeless in the tank and the store owners even said “we’re gonna trash those, we just haven’t got them out yet”.. so I was like, well, if your just gonna throw them away, can I take this guy home and see if I can help restore him.. he was like “ill let you buy him for half price”.. even tho they had just told me they were going in the garbage… lol. Anyway.. I bought the dude, treated him and he’s still going strong today.. in fact, he’s the most feisty fancy I own.
Where can I see pictures of him?!
Yeah they absolutely do not try to keep the goldfish there in good condition.
This was amazing. Thank you for being you
Ur a hero
On a positive note, the fish passed in a good, peaceful environment.
Honestly, it's possible that's what killed it.
Fish can get used to dirty water and a bad environment, so when you put them in clean water they just can't handle it.
I think he passed in the bag......
He was dead already when he was being taken out
RIP little mushroom guy o7
He deserved better, he looked cute besides. well.
The way I am with bettas is the way you are with goldfish. I just purchased a CT/VT mutt with a crooked face and gills from a pet store, the other one I have I got emaciated, full of parasites, fins rotting off, and grey, and he’s now a blue marble feathertail, absolutely stunning. It warms my heart to see other people who take in these sweet babies to give them a good life. It’s impossible to save all of them, thank you for doing what you can.
Thank you for being so compassionate 🧡.
Luke just a bit of advice, the osmotic shock of being put into completely different aquarium water was probably too much for the mushroom fish in his condition, which is why he conked out as soon as you put him from the bag into the tank. With sick fish it's best to drip acclimate, not just temperature acclimate. Healthy fish deal better with being plonked into different water quality, even though that's not ideal.
He was dead as I taking him out of the bag with his original water. Before he even touched my water
@@lukesgoldies It must be an unfortunate video edit, there's a shot of him breathing just before you take him out of the bag.
@@lukesgoldies he is breathing at 5:43. but as this other person is saying it must be the editing..
@@bec2549 You both are saying different things. He's saying that he was acclimating him in the bag beforehand and then dead when taken out.
You say he was breathing before taken out of the bag which doesn't look to be the case in the immediate moment before
I don't see what the original comment is saying as he looked pretty lifeless before being taken out
@@lyrica_overdose the edit is because it is 30minute later after acclimating temperature. Dying animal have failing organ, so they slow down and became cold, when we warm them up it just hasten whatever is going on. The warmth is not the cause, instead it made things happen quicker.
You tried and that's what matters. You gave the guy a good time before he went. You're a good man for that. And with any luck, his friends will live on and be very happy in their new home. He will live on.
I know you probably know this, but you didn't fail whatsoever with him... the poor guy was just too far gone. Thank you for caring for these sweet babies and doing the absolute best you can. Fingers crossed for the other fish here! Rescue and rehabilitation is such a painful process, sometimes, for both you and the fish. I've done lots of betta fish rescues through the years and what counts is that you're trying and you're qualified to do so. They have the best possible chance with you over virtually anyone else. Once again, thank you.
PS. I didn't see any mention of whether or not you purchased the fish for full price, though I may have missed it. If you haven't done so already and decide to do this again, I would highly recommend asking for a heavy discount on any non-feeder fish species. Point out every problem they have and try to get the price as low as possible. There's a balance with being firm and polite with employees - as of course it's rarely ever their fault - but animals and their well-being is the one place where putting up a decent stink in a retail store feels justified. Many stores will sell a fish at a significantly discounted price over making no money at all thanks to a fish's death.
mushroom boy he got free, the others with not a lot of issues we don't know
Rest in peace, chubby boi. I'm sure his last moments were filled with joy of someone caring for him.
You tried your best. Thank you for that.
I’d love if you made this a series of saving goldfish
Yea! And have a whole tub of nothing but rescues!
I have 19 fancies at the moment. Two are successful rehabs. One has 1 eye and gill curl. The other I got very emaciated and diseased when he was tiny - one more night in a pet store and he wouldn't have made it. A few months in a hospital tank and lots of treatments and he pulled through and is one of my happiest goldies. I also have two with chronic swim bladder issues in a separate low flow tank. One can't stay upright for long and scoots around on her side. She gets therapy twice a day to increase muscle strength. The other has inflated anterior s.b. like Mushroom. He gets massage twice a day and that relieves it a bit. I've also had some non successful rehabs - sometimes they're just too sick to pull through.
i haven't watched all of this yet but i already know this is gonna be so sad :( poor nuggets...
I just started watching it I hope it didn’t die.
Edit: (sorry for spoiling lol) I’m so sad this little fella didn’t make it :( it was beautiful thank you for trying to save it.
you didnt spoil
Soiled it.
noo, you spoiled it, i was trying so hard to not read the title
@@ImKairyu bro don’t act like that. You all damn well know the title can be fake.
It's already written in the title
Poor Mushroom, he probably was already too sensitive, and the shock was too much for him. You can't save everyone.
*So the best thing to do for fishes like the big goldfish with swim-bladder is to not acclimatise them to new temperatures or introducing them to QT tank. You can add the airstone to the bag directly and add in some salt with methlyn blue. This cause less stress due to temp fluctuation and might just save them. Once slightly stable 3/4 hours later you can start adding water from the tank to the bag one cup at a time. This one was far too gone though.*
The only disadvantage from having aquarium hobby is that watching our whole world our pets deing in front of our eyes !
if you get good enough it happens very rarely ^-^
@sleepyninjarin7971 yeah, still unavoidable sometimes though 😔
@@sleepyninjarin7971 it happens always
every pet has to die eventually
@@sleepyninjarin7971 even if we take care of them like babies sometimes fate decides what to happen they just go to heaven 🥺
I’m so sorry he died :( you came with a good heart and tried to save him.
Thank u for helping me understanding what a ammonia burn is
Unfortunately it could have even been that the stress of transportation was enough to bring him over to death if he was in such horrid condition as well, poor little guy. I fully believe that he'll be waiting for you in your goldfish pond in Heaven when you get there Luke
I do this all the time. Trying to save goldfish
I go to pet stores and save the most sickly fish and probably 3/4 of them die but it’s worth it.
I even have a poor goldfish with only one eye he’s doing extremely well.
Thank you for sharing and extra new ideas, and how to save these poor little creatures.
i would do the same if i had the space
Thank you for trying to rescue but remember...Like Luke said in the video, you are promoting this practice if you are buying the sick fish. It sucks but NOT buying the fish is whats best in the long run. There is lots of tips on what to do, but generally the best is to take an photo and put it in a bad review.
Dont do that, you are basically giving them more money to buy and sell more sick fish. If you really want to save them you can ask if they can give them for free but spending money like this is completely useless if not damaging
Sorry that your belief, not mine if there is a light to save in this world, I’m going to do it no matter what. Life is precious.
@@suemucek7844 The issue is that by saving that one light, you are supporting the practice of snuffing out many more lights. Life is precious, but if buying those sick fish causes the store that's unequipped to take care of them to buy more goldfish, a ton of which will die *before* even making it on display, you are snuffing out a lot more lights than you are saving.
That's sad. Mr. Mushroom didn't make it. I am happy that you tried to save them. You have a very good heart. I have been watching your videos for a while.
I am happy theres still some people who try to save hurt and fish. I bet everyone else would have just walked past that goldfish but you didn't, i mean you didn't hesitate for a minute to help the little guy. I'm happy you tried to save him Luke, you even tried to revive him. You have such a sweet heart for animals.🙂
“Dude looks like a mushroom”
We will name him Mushroom.
Rest in peace Mushroom. He deserved better. Am sure you could of easily proved Mushroom with an awesome live. But now no more suffering. Mushroom will be at peace and health in heaven. Send love from us!
The acclimation put the sick fish out of his misery.
When I worked at a pet store, I was basically in charge of fish for several years. I did all I could to keep more fish alive, but when all the systems are linked and you only have so much time to dedicate to the fish, you can feel pretty powerless.
If we had a fish that wasn't gonna make it if it stayed with us, I'd just write it off as dead and give it away. We just didn't have the resources, only 1 quarantine tank (that i bought) and 2 separate feature-only tanks with very specific parameters. Nothing feels worse than knowing how to save a fish, but not having the ability to. Our city's water quality would change drastically season-to-season, and it was a full-time job just trying to keep the water at a normal kH level.
Poor mushroom cap :( he was in a bad condition though, but don’t feel guilty that you didn’t save him, at least you were going to try to save him
Respect for your efforts 🙌
Luke, I think he realized that he was finally with someone who was going to properly take care of him and he wasn't wanting to ruin that thought so he let go.
You did a good job.
Great video idea, would love to see more of these. Really love that you're transparent and show the failures too.
Seems like the fish was so happy to have his forever home that he relaxed just a bit too much.
What a kind and wonderful heart you have, Luke. I cried like a baby re: mushroom cap. I was so hoping he would recover and be able to live out his life happy and safe in your care, but as we know, things don't always work out the way we want them to. Having given the effort, though, shows love and compassion for these precious creatures. God bless you! I'm praying the others will fair much better and look forward to watching them become vibrant again as God intended them to be 🧡
Rip mushroom, you said he looked like one, and now he shall be mushroom. Its really nice that you tried to save that nugget
I would have tried with him too, good looking fish for Petco fish. I never buy Goldfish from Petco or PetSmart anymore though. Good try duder.
That’s so sweet of you to do that you’ve got a big heart ❤️
Poor little mushroom goldfish, but seeing his state i think there was little that could be done for him.
Wish the best for the others, i love the little common gold fish his coloring is really interesting, i hope he will stay like that.
Luke is a real life walking Gigachad
If he could have survived the acclimating process, I would have tried a smaller hospital tank with a higher salt content. I've had goldies bounce back from death's door doing that. Also, instead of waiting to acclimate, you could measure the temp of the bag water, then add hot or cold water to the tank to bring it within a degree or two.
What a shame, as soon as he was about to be cared for too. Goodbye buddy
2:23 I’m glad he got it for free and the workers wanted him to live instead of not caring about the fish and only the money. RIP fish
Thank you for trying anyway. I'd love to see updates on the ones alives and some more rescue vids pls 🙏🏻
“right now this guy is not responding”
goldfish: “no I’m not”
Even though this was a fail, this whole video is perfect for demonstrating how messy the aquarium trade can be. It would be amazing to be able to revive these guys, then find them good homes if you don't wanna keep them forever (I've seen people revive fish when they had almost no experience in them, just to find them a better home). I don't understand why most aquarium pet stores don't let people take home obvious sick fish for free, the employees are going to let them die and throw them out anyway, which means they are not getting money. Thank you for trying your best for these guys. ❤🐟
awww that beautiful goldfish died like that, its heartbreaking for me because i lose one like that months ago during an electricity outage in my country and me and my family cried for that member that left.
I don't know how I'm this early...
Edit: that second fish is honestly beautiful very sad that he wasn't taken care of 😔
Sweetest guy!
I saw some for sale at my local petco and they had ich and no one was treating them and you could see it all over them! They need better care!!
Does the methylene blue stain the aquarium sealant blue?
Sorry that pretty fish didn't make it😞
Someone invested time and care for him to grow so well developed. Very sad.
i love red caps, i had like 11 in a pond it was crazy!
Orandas are my favorite goldfish. I love their fins.
The red caps are super cute too because of their red wen.
Even though he died, I think you did a pretty good job reviving him.
Luke I love your videos I finally got my lion head ranchu!
Poor Goomba (that’s what I named him for myself)… You’re so sweet to these fishes and I’m sorry Goomba missed out on the love and care you would have given him…
The beard mic gives me so much joy
mushroom was a big guy who knows how long he had lived in such poor conditions. i am sorry you had a bad experience with humans. and luke your my hero. people may say ah shush its just a fish. but a life is a life and mushroom couldent have had a more respectful end.

One of the worst local pet stores had huge common goldfish , they had huge cuts , one had a missing gill cover and all were gasping for air at the top, I doubt any that stayed there survived . Sadly I don’t have goldfish and couldn’t do anything. There was a pet store near with a huge tank for goldfish that could have been given them but sadly the worst one got them ( all their fish are disease ridden and skinny )
At least he had the best human possible in the end. You did good, Luke.
You are such a kind man with a kind heart❤️
😞🙏rest in peace little one
Kind of looks like the big guy was breathing heavy and just ran through the oxygen that was available in the bag. It was a big fish and they suck up that oxygen fast. Had a couple close calls with some Koi myself.
You inspired me so much that I went out and bought a baby red cap oranda with a deformed fin. I made sure that the rest of the fish at this store were looking good and I ended up getting him and just brought him home and he is acclimating right now!
That’s so sad…you tried, and you’re a great goldfish dad. 😔🙏💔
"I won't be giving the names of any of the pet stores I'm going to in this video"
The title literally be "I tried to save a Petco fish!"
Well luke, atleast you tried and I hope you get to rescue the other fish, but RIP big wen dude
You didn't fail at all. You did the best you could and offered the lil guy a chance to get better even it didnt last for long. I'm sure the rest of the goldfish will get ten times better in your care and heal very quickly. It's great that you gave them a better life 💫
Thank you for the rescue video! I was really hoping you’d make a video like this and it’s great to see this.
Sorry about Theodore RIP
R.I.P Theodore the mushroom cap. You were so cute looking.
Luke With those feeder goldfish you’ll eventually need a pond Of at least 250 gallons because those feeder goldfish grow very big. A lot of people say 12 inches but that’s only in aquariums. In ponds they can get to 18-24”. Good luck with your goldfish
For one feeder goldfish put him in the 180 gallon
Poor guy. Glad you helped these poor fish the best you could
So sad. Thank you for trying Luke. ❤️🧡
Thank you Luke for trying to save that big guy 🥺
Luke, you are a great man. Theodore will be up in heaven waiting to say thank you.
He never said his name-
@@GreekPatata read the desc
“I just thought he’s adorable” awww
I’d like to say, the rule of not supporting a store bc they don’t take care of their fish well, applies to any other animal they have. If they are known for not treating the animals well, do your best not to support them and give them more money to replace the animal you are looking to purchase. No hate, just educating. Thank you Luke for doing something I want to do but can’t due to lack of funds
HEY! At least you did your best to help him
Rip poor little nugget, he probably didn't have the best fish life but in his final moments he was given a chance for something better from a good man. He wasn't alone, he was saved, and finally given care, may he be put to rest in a painless after life... 🕊️
At least you tried
Respectfully, you looked so majestic in that clip of you walking in the snow🙏
I love your little common goldfish! She's going to outgrow and outlive all your fancies 😊
Damn sucks he couldn’t make it to the quarantine tank… really does
Luke: I will not be giving the names or locations of the stores
3:10: 😮
I don't know if this is just a rare instance but my local Petco well I don't do say it's about a 30-minute drive away but anyway they seem to treat their first pretty damn well all the employees being passionate about what they're doing and seem to know what they're talking about
PetSmart on the other hand is a different story.....
I have red caps and I am so happy you got to get the same joy
Can’t wait for the updates! I sure we’ll see a huge glow-up for the fish that survive.
This was so sad but atleast he taught us somthing new about helping ill or he atleast
Taught me somthing new god bless you luke you did somthing good
Big company business dont care for their animals. So sad they were so hurt. I hope they swim better in heaven
Look at the mic attached to your beard lmao, you're a freaking genius. Good vid!
Luke out here providing universal healthcare to these goldfish
R.I.P. You have a kind heart Luke. Thank you for trying
rip theodore the big oranda
Your a good man dude, may mushroom rest is peace. 😞
Idon’t care what anyone else says, I’m calling the poor fish who sadly had died “Lil Mushroom” because he looks like one, and looks like a baby cuz he’s so cute,
I'm sorry for our little mushy friend, but red cap is cute I hope he can thrive
R.I.P little guy, Luke keep up the good content. We hope goldfish and betas get attention one day
Man, I understand the logic behind not supporting stores by “rescuing” fish but I’m so torn on the subject. I don’t want to give my money to places that keep their fish in bad conditions, but honestly I feel those fish will always be in demand regardless and saving a life or two if you can has to be a good thing. It’s hard. I genuinely want to help them if I have the space and means to do so, it would be hard to leave them if I knew I could help. :(
Bro, Luke, I lost all my fancy goldfish yesterday! A red cap, 2 beautiful red and white, and two calico, all giant chonkers. The fast fish survived. Something got in the pond, which is surrounded by 2 fences and 6 dogs! I've had the cover off for 2 days. Folks, lock up your ponds; nets, fences, etc. Next step for me is a netting cover and a motion camera. Nature is brutal.
P.S. - I thought of Luke when I thought about getting more. Who knows how long that will be before selling begins. I need to restock for summer. :(
the fact he died the second he was in the tank lowkey caught me offguard
You are a saint
