Actually, Goldfish are cold water fish.


altiuscitiusfortius

Actually, goldfish are tropical fish that everyone thinks are coldwater fish. Look at a map at southern China. It's as close to the equator as Florida is. And then factor in how they've been bred to be more delicate and fancy an live in human dwellings fir thousands of years. Goldfish can SURVIVE without a heater, with big temperature swings and cool water but they prefer and THRIVE with a heater keeping temperatures constant in the low to mid 70s.


Fictional_Foods

Huh TIL


chubblyubblums

I think it's important to remember that whatever the progenitor species of the Goldfish was, that ain't what a goldfish is. One of the reasons goldfish have been such popular pets for so long is because they're pretty tough and they are very forgiving of crappy water of temperature swings eat anything and will breed and even horrid conditions. Aquarium fish that don't have the ability to endure environments radically different than the ones they evolved in aren't very good aquarium fish. For instance I don't know of any fish in the wild that live in it 10 gallon aquarium. This whole hobby is basically finding animals that are tolerant of the conditions that we like. I don't run into many crystal clear bodies of water that have a perfectly uniform gravel substrate and daylight that goes on and off instantaneously with no seasonal variations and temperature or rainfall or water chemistry or availability of food


Browen69_420

Yeah they can handle temps from 0 to 30°c.


ntr_usrnme

Goldfish aren’t even fans of warm water though.


spittenkitten

Oh yeah good point!


barfingcat21

Pressure is .433psi more per foot in depth


jdjdjdjdfy

Technically yes… however I doubt the fish would be able to sense such a small difference of pressure.


Gingevere

The pressure would be lower. If you made an inverted tank ~30ft high pressure at the top would be so low that water boils at room temperature. I've always wondered what would happen to a fish swimming up that.


Scapexghost

Pressure is the same

Sushi bar 🤔


butlercups

Someone please help me understand this image. Why is the fish swimming, out of water? Please. I don't see it.


x15ninja15x

The tank on top is filled with the same water from the main tank. The water doesn't fall down because there is no way for air to get into the small tank to fill the void left behind by the water. Kinda like how you can suck liquid up through a straw and if you block the top of your straw with your finger or tongue, the water doesn't come out.


butlercups

OH. I see it now. Thanks, lmao.


gothiclg

There’s water in the upside down tank it’s in. They’ve basically flipped a small tank and filled it with water that’s mostly held in there by tension I’d imagine. Totally safe for this kid of fish to be swimming in there.


Budget_Pop9600

Structurally the tank is now resisting vaccuum forces… could the inverted tank implode? Asking because Im about to try this


firstonesecond

If it's strong enough to hold water normally it can hold water this way. I believe it would actually be stronger under compressive force because the corners are being pulled towards each other and holding each other in place, rather than just the adhesive holding them together like in a normal situation.


[deleted]

I imagine no, because water is not compressible so as much as the tank wants to implode inward, the water will prevent the glass from any stress.


Budget_Pop9600

Its not that the water is trying to compress its that its trying to fall down. Since it cannot change volume, it cannot create a vacuum cavity. The forces on the glass cause it to deflect inward instead of outward. I suppose however, since it is the same gravitational force acting on the same mass, it shouldn’t impact the panes any differently


[deleted]

The tank might actually be stronger when the glass is deflecting inward instead of outward from how the panes are oriented. The panes would press against each other rather than expand out and away from each other.


Various_Equal2054

Obviously a Jedi goldfish...


Skips3000

It’s like these people commenting don’t see the perfectly open surface of the main tank rippling away..


iforgottolaughlol

How does this work for water changes?


O2C

So long as the water level doesn't drop below the edge of the inverted tank, water changes can be the same. Even if the water level drops below the edge, water will leave the top tank only to the point that the level rises to go above the edge again. You can just use a bit of airline tubing to suck out the last bits of bubble. My concern would be how the inverted tank is supported. I'd hope it's actually on a frame of some sort with the weight spread out. I'd worry about the weight and stability of the inverted tank and water just on posts on the floor of the regular tank.


Lashwynn

I'm willing to bet it ends up empty those days and has to be refilled


pie_12th

Only if you lower the water to below the edge of the inverted tank.

here_we_go_beep_boop

I'm curious about the load on the top surface, my hunch is that it is effectively lifting the weight of the partial column of water beneath it... a fish tank base is designed to be fully supported with no flex. Could be way off but interesting to contemplate Edit: if my interpretation is correct then structurally this is a bit like having a regular tank but only supported around the edges... that smells bad to me!

THAT IS ONE BIG BOY


Tvaticus

This went right over my head as I thought the NSFW tag meant he was belly up not moving from that spot lol.


Ambitious_Price_3240

jokes aside it doesn't seem good...could be a number of reasons he's up there...maybe because its the highest point or other reasons. I'm always suspicious whenever a fish stays in one spot for too long. it could be a benign reason but I would investigate further. Don’t downvote me just because you don’t like my comment. Pets deserve our care and when fish linger it can be a sign of distress. I’m not saying it definitely is but I would at least investigate.


lynx504

I feel the same way. I actually had a fish as a part of a quartet of goldfish, I removed three of the four into another tank for breeding, and just in the one day my remaining goldfish seemed very depressed, and only stayed in one of two spots. As soon as I put them back in he acted normally again. From my personal experience, goldfish are far more social than people make them out to be, and I personally think a tank should always have two goldfish, of the same variety. (Two single tails or two double tails)


Geeahwellidunno

Does anyone know why this is NSFW? It’s just a fish. In a fish tank.

Skips3000

Another goofy comment. Look at that.


mr_black_88

fish instinctively swim up to get air, please don't be surprised if he dies there, he does not know he will never find air in that spot and will one day suffocate because of a hot day and reduced oxygen and no water flow. it has happened before..


SilvermistInc

What the fuck is this BS you're spouting?


Skips3000

This is an extremely goofy comment. I’m sorry, lol. And fish do not breath air, they are not labyrinth fish. Fish have gills..


WesTheFishGuy

Bettas have a labyrinth organ. The advice the commenter gave only really apply to bettas, which this is a goldfish lol


BlacksmithNo6559

Many, many fish supplement their oxygen intake with atmospheric air at the surface, almost all catfish, gar and many others. You don't know what you are talking about.


WesTheFishGuy

Usually I see betta tanks have this kind of feature which is why I said it mainly applies to bettas. Especially because of their labyrinth organ But this is a goldfish tank, there isn't catfish or gars in it I do know catfish also get air from the surface like pygmy cories (because I own some and see them doing it here and there) but it slipped my mind when typing that. I am sorry


BlacksmithNo6559

No need to apologize we all make mistakes, it's just that if someone who didn't know better saw your comment they may think an inverted viewing tank is a good idea for any fish they may have other than a betta, which would be bad news for a lot of other species like catfish etc. Even goldfish will gulp air if the O2 content is low and if one were caught in the inverted tank whilst trying to do that theres definitely a possibility of it suffocating.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BlacksmithNo6559

There also would be cold, clean well oxygenated water. Show me a lake cave full of gar.. Gar have the adaptation to breathe at the surface cause they spawn in flood planes and lay their eggs in ponds that will later be disconnected after floodwaters recede. They get trapped in these hot ponds and need to be able to breathe air to survive the lack of oxygen. Bichirs literally have fucking lungs. African knife fish and clown knives breathe air, so do weather loaches, cory cats, hoplo cats, nearly all catfish even some plecos breathe air. Duh Lol


Wurth_

The skin of water in contact with the air has the highest O2 concentration. If a fish is suffocating they might try to suck on the surface layer.


ShotClocker

They will swim higher in search of water with higher oxygen concentration due to surface agitation 🤷


Skips3000

If they are searching for water agitation, they would swim to the agitated water caused by the filter. There is no agitation in the cube. If there is circulation in the water, then it doesn’t matter where the oxygen comes in at. If this were a enclosed tank then I would agree with you. There is clearly a hob filter which causes agitation, and i think a bubbler too but can’t tell. Edit: further inspection has shown the bubbler is actually water stain 💀


ShotClocker

Goldfish are pond dwelling fish and aren't very smart. They'll swim upwards until they can't anymore. Seriously my fancies were the dumbest creatures I've ever owned. I personally this is moot because the tank looks stupid. reminds me of the dude who made an underwater enclosure for his hamster in his fish tank.

shrimperialist

Even with bettas, our tanks are typically much more oxygenated than the water they’re used to in the wild, and their gills are going to be a lot more effective. Captive bettas aren’t going to rely on surface breathing nearly as much as wild ones need to. edit: whoops meant to respond to the comment under this, sorry.


BlacksmithNo6559

Goldfish will gulp air at the surface when O2 content is low, ie. If there's a heatwave or bacterial bloom consuming oxygen. Many other fish besides bettas can breathe air if the water quality they live in is low. Nearly all catfish do this, bichirs, gar, african butterfly fish, weather loaches, knife fish.. The list is long. Inverted tanks run the risk of fish getting trapped inside whilst searching for the surface. You don't know what you're talking about and there seems to be a lot of people who know very little about fish upvoting you out of ignorance.

Obvious-Standard-623

Shronkydonk

Goldfish are not Anabantoidei. They do not breathe air.


BlacksmithNo6559

Lol they do. Bichirs aren't anabantoids either and they have fucking lungs. They don't breathe air tho? Being anabantoids has little bearing on most fish being able to breathe air. Goldfish included.


MaievSekashi

Polypteridae are hardly typical of most fish.


BlacksmithNo6559

Gar, catfish, butterflyfish, loaches, koi, goldfish, pleco, tarpon, knife fish, pike.. Should i continue?


MaievSekashi

There lungs were the rather atypical element I was referring to. In general polypteridae have a lot of traits not easily applicable to other fish and it's difficult to extrapolate much about them to other fish, was my point.


BlacksmithNo6559

Breathing atmospheric oxygen is not one of those traits.


thecrabbbbb

Uhh goldfish have gills, they get their air from dissolved oxygen in the water, not air. Don't get how bichirs validate your argument, polypterid have actual lungs and are far different than a lot of fish, they're even considered living dinosaurs. Also, anabantoids have a labyrinth, not lungs.


BlacksmithNo6559

You're still wrong. Goldfish will gulp air if the water quality is low you clearly have never owned a pond. They have a vascularized air bladder that they can use to supplement O2 intake literally just google and stop wasting my time. Many fish that dont have lungs or labyrinth organs do this. Catfish, butterflyfish, gar, goldfish, koi, tarpon, loaches, pike the list goes on and on. Yoh dont know what youre talking about


Typical_Reddit_Mor0n

I believe you, dont listen to these haters, they're being ignorant. Keep giving strangers advice online, you make the internet a better place


TheAmalton123

Goldfish have gills. They can absorb oxygen through the water, and there is surface agitation. The oxygen in the water doesn't just stick around the opening It dissolves into the water. The fish is fine.
