Izzy My Ryuking Goldfish
I’ve had such bad luck with Ryukin Goldfish for some reason. My first goldfish was a Ryukin and he lasted about six months. Then I’ve had two more and they lasted just two or three months. They seem to be more sensitive to water conditions than the others. If I could ever manage to get a control on the water conditions I would be pleased. I wrote to Dr. Fosters and Smith’s Pet Store and asked for advice and sent them a link to this blog. They advised I get this
Eheim Classic Canister to filter my water. They also expressed concern indicating I might be changing my water to often and changing too much of it. I’m learning by hard knocks. I will be getting this canister and I will record how it works on my tank.

In the video I am trying to show the size of the fish by holding them. Bubbles by all means is my largest fish. Sun and Wabi-Sabi, the two Oranda’s are the next largest. In the scene where I am feeding them I want it known that after about 4 to 5 minutes of eating I remove any food remaining. Sun can eat better now since he doesn’t have to search through gravel to find it. He is blind as a bat, however he is like a vacuum cleaner sucking up the food from the glass bottom of the tank. I have to keep my eye on him for he will eat too much and wind up floating upside down because of the food pressing hard against his stomach. It is not easy at all taking care of these fish, but I am so determined to do so. I most likely need some sort of outside canister filter system but I know nothing about them. I don’t know what type of media to use in the canisters or how to clean them. Is there a canister system, which in the long run would save me money and time working with these fish?
