michael reeves recently made this video involving a goldfish and i just want to know if it's okay for fish to be involved in the stock market due to risk of it becoming hyper-intelligent and becoming a millionaire

Green + Caution

There is certainly no need to worry about the fish succumbing to the effects of capitalism. The fish here is simply swimming as it desires, and in fact the feeding schedule/location may be what is deciding any tank locations that he swims to. In regards to the tank size....I regret having poor depth perception. Michael is said to be about 5'5 and the tank is about the same size as his chest area so I would say that it is about 16 inches tall, minimum. It looks to be about two Michael's wide, which I will say is roughly 16 inches (from a 38 chest size, then halved and -4.), making the estimated tank length 32 inches. And for width, this is the part that gets me in confusion, so probably 16 inches as well. Thus making this tank roughly 35 gallons. @is-the-fish-tank-big-enough, feel free to correct me if I am wrong''. And I would say that a juvenile fantail (as the fish in the video seems to be) can live in a 35 gallon tank while at this young age, but would be recommended to move the fish into a bigger tank once larger. Allegedly, Micheal has done research into the care of goldfish, and even mentions as such in the video, so I doubt that this fish is poorly cared for, although I also wouldn't be surprised if he gave the fish up after the video. [However I don't know anything about Micheal, so feel free to mention if you do know anything about this.]

This looks horrifying on every level, but exactly how bad is it? Is the fish even resistant to the venom of the things it's eating?

-=- Purple/ Red [For those who do not want to click the link; it is a video of a pufferfish eating a centipede, a scorpion and a snake.It is quite disturbing.]

This is undeniably cruel. I cannot believe that the fish is in any way resistant to the toxins of these animals. It is likely that the fish perished soon after this instance; or was otherwise harmed permanently. I also can't say that the tank that the fish is in is correctly sized for this fish, as it appears a bit bare and small. Live feeding is one thing; but this is just incessantly cruel for both fish and the animals being fed.

Sandile is a wonderful Pokémon to be named after

Thank you!

[is-the-fish-pic-okay]

Where is there a pokemon sandile called Niel? Is it an anime thing?

The story behind my naming involves the misspelling of Sandile as sadneil! No worries; not a localization; just being unable to read; lol.

[is-the-fish-pic-okay]

Sandile like the pokemon?

Yep!

[is-the-fish-pic-okay]

question, how many jokes have ppl made abt neil banging out the tunes since your names neil

On here; none actually! With friends, they're fairly rare. I'm actually named after Sandile!

Unclear (But more unsafe than not) Ahem, mind the pun, but I believe this is a fishing situation. Where the person who took the video fishes rather than keeps fish. It looks like this is either the bottom of a boat or a caught fish storage bin(?). However, what I can say is that this squid is being stressed out. It is displaying a fear reaction (turning clear), which is an evasive adaptation by many squid in order to escape from predators. There's a chance that this squid is intended to be eaten, or that it is intended to be released after this interaction. Unfortunately I cannot tell due to the fact that the clip is so short, but I suspect the former. Sometimes fish and other animals need to be stressed and observed for scientific observation so a clip of this length is inconclusive.

I have a question about fancy goldfish. I recently had a breeder reach out to sell me fancy goldfish. Specifically butterfly and orandas. I have very little freshwater experience and no goldfish experience. Are these healthy breeds, as far as you know?

Ah, fancy goldfish in general are a bit of an issue as they're at an increased risk of swim bladder issues. They tend to have smaller swim bladders, and thus are more succeptable to these issues. Additionally, tails can be easily caught on sharp decor, so that can be its own issue to them. It's up to your own care ability if you want to keep one, but I would reccomend at least a bit of experience.

hello!! i just want to thank people like you for advocating/educating about proper fish care!! i recently went though a tough time and decided to put energy into getting a beta fish to make myself do something, and blogs like your own helped me understand what it would really need! almost a year later i’m doing a lot better, partially due to Big Man, an amazing fish who makes me get up every morning to feed him and keeps me on a weekly schedule <3

Aw, of course! I do my best. It's always important for people to do their research when getting pets, though its a bit daunting to be one of those people, I really enjoy it. Your Big Man looks lovely <33!

Hello! I've been looking at getting a betta for about three years now, and the plan was to have at least a 20 gallon tank so we could have other fish with them. Would this be reasonable, or would having a betta with any other fish be inhumane to their tankmates, no matter the tank's size?

A larger tank size is fine for a betta! Even if it is alone, many betta can get annoyed at tankmates depending on their mood. Just make sure that the tank is otherwise suitable for them, with plants and hiding places.

This came up when i was scrolling through tik tok and found it very upsetting, I'm not wrong for thinking this is fucked up right == Purple This certainly is a fucked up. Looking through this person's content, it seems they do this multiple times with multiple goldfish. There also looks to be guppies in the tank, which I assume were initially meant for food as well, but the fish (which is said to be partially blind) had overlooked it. Somehow, goldfish are known as feeder fish despite being quite poor feeder fish. They are fatty and not very good for scheduled feedings. This is senselessly cruel, especially with the narrative going that hes adding the goldfish as a "friend". I can't determine what sort of fish the black fish is, but I believe it is a catfish of some sort, but regardless, this is also not suitable feed for it. The fish is severely bloated from the "feeding", and the size of the goldfish could have caused it to choke and die. Live feeding on its own is its own thing which people can find morally debatable on its own, and from what I understand, most times live feeding is a last ditch effort when an animal wont eat frozen/other forms of food.

Uncertain Prefacing this saying I am not a marine biologist, nor known shark care, and have a bad grasp at eyeballing dimensions. First thing to note is the poster. They seem to be some form of researcher/student of some sort, although the amount of (dead) fish they post implies they may be a fisher, however also research may require fishing regardless. This is said to be a bullhead shark by the original poster. First thing to note is tank, which I can't think is good for long term setup, seeing as its quite bare, but re: poor depth perception, I can't imagine the tank is big enough, or if it is, its not the correct proportions for this shark. The actual behavior here however, is neutral. I believe the crab was in the tank as food for the shark, and the crab somehow climbed on top of it's head. The OP also seems to be confused by the situation, so I'm partial to believe this isn't staged, but who knows.

The other day I noticed a science teacher at my school keeping beta fish in what seemed to be unethical tanks (one was the bottom part of 2 liter soda bottle, probably about a third of the bottle) and I was wondering how I should go about approaching them? I don't have this teacher myself but I don't think the fish should be kept like that.

You are correct that these should not be kept in that setup. Similar to this post here, you can probably talk to this teacher and explain how that setup is not only a poor setup for the fish, but is a bad influence on their students too, and in general promoting bad husbandr. However, keep in mind that they likely do not know. I don't know them either, and don't know how they would react, so you should make sure that your priority is keeping yourelf safe in that situation. I hope all goes well and these fish can be given a better tank and setup!

hi, me and my mom recently got a fish tank and some hermit crabs from my mom's friend. there's 6 of them (one is a halloween one) and its a 65 litre (marine saltwater) tank, and both of us were wondering if its safe to put fish in with them? or anymore hermit crabs? we're very new to owning hermit crabs and just want to make sure beforehand that its safe/healthy for them. sorry if we're bothering you!

I don't know much about Hermit crabs, sorry! I think that may be a lot for a tank of that size though. I'm also fairly sure hermit crabs are kept in dry enclosures as well with maybe a small pool of water...? Not enough space for a fish I'd think. I may be wrong here though. From a quick search, this source, seems pretty helpful, and this does as well. Maybe @/is-the-bug-video-cute can help, but I'm not sure. Good luck with this. At the very minimum I believe you should look to get a bigger tank.
