To anyone who is wondering, those are PearlScale Goldfish. The more recent variety of goldfish. Only about 200 years old. They don't get as long as other goldfish, but they do get REALLY fat.

Great video. Loved the concept. I have a couple of questions though,
1st - are u using any filter or aerating pump?
2nd- how often do you make water changes?
Am planning to setup a small pond like that, so do u have any suggestions?

They get it from the surface of the water and through the plants in the water.

what a great Video :)

Official Death - 8 years ago

I know this might sound dumb , but what kind of water did you use? Did you get it from a nearby pond ?

Gav James - 8 years ago

Another way you can make a pond is to get a big bin
Then you dig a hole the size of it and put the bin in the hole
Then you fill it up with water and there you go
It's super easy

Gav James - 8 years ago

I should get a bin and put plants in it and then put water in it
Instead of buying fish I can catch Minos and catch frogs
It sounds easy to make

Do you need to feed the fish?

Bob M - 8 years ago

+Razorgaming123 I feed mine once a day. The rest of the time they eat algae and mosquito larvae. Feed them too much and you'll have mosquitos! Don't feed if the water temp goes below 55 degrees.

Thank You.

Thanks for your reply.I made the pond in my back yard but my fish didn't like it as they said it was too cold so I brought them back into the living room.

Blue Tooth - 9 years ago

I depends on where you live if you live in colder climate a big pond will do good or a small pond indoors. If you live in warmer climate outside would be better

long thor - 10 years ago

how do u keep the water soo clean!...

errolthecat - 10 years ago

The plants (at least the fern-like one) aerate the water - fish need air too! If you make a pond and don't have plants you need an aerator and bubbler otherwise, they'll be belly up in short order... :(

UnluckyRabbit - 10 years ago

the plants filter the water

lostinbatcuntry - 10 years ago

I suppose there is no need for filtration or food, as this is all provided by the plant life in the pond. If you keep this outdoors, how do you control the water level? Maybe several small holes at the appropriate level in conjunction with pipe screens?

FluffyDaffodil - 10 years ago

What did you feed your fish? Storebought fishfood or something else? :)

White CD - 8 years ago

You have to get pond food because tank food can mess up the water for other animals

yasmin cruz - 10 years ago

Niceeeee

pedro lopez - 11 years ago

and the filtration ?

dakotahstr - 11 years ago

you must need a light for the fish and the plants though , otherwise you would have to have sufficient sunlight. Its great, I love your pond..I have one in the basement I set up

Kat Richtman - 11 years ago

The closest type that I could find, which may actually be the same as the ones in the video, they are Ranchu Goldfish! I must have some now! >.<

SlapHappyBubble - 11 years ago

what type of fish are the puggy ones o3o i want one so bad now!! >u<

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

But natural ponds are huge compared to this tiny bucket, they have a lot more plants in them and other ways of natural filtration. In nature there's also a right ammount of fish in it. And clear water doesn't mean healthy, NO2, NO3 and ammonia don't have colors and can be in that 'pond' in huge ammount because of the few plants and the big ammount of fish It's also too small because these fish can't swim 10 times their length, that's a must for a fish to grow healthy

Davin Rahming - 11 years ago

nature itself has millions of ponds, lakes and rivers that have no man made filtration system. stop speaking as if you know anything at all, the plants filtrate naturally, which is why her water is still clear after 2 months- if you heard what she said.

Christopher S. - 11 years ago

lindsey Babe - 11 years ago

no she doesn't need a pump with the plant life... they are the pump!

lindsey Babe - 11 years ago

it was a different fish... lmao!

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

(c) YOU should be the one to inform before commenting. And by saying 'these fish are only pet fish' you say its okay to keep them in a small space in which their ammonia burns their gills? This is the same as putting a dog its entire life in a dog crate and never cleaning it out. If you'd do that, animal police will take the dog away and give you a big fine, 'just' because they're fish its not 'bad', our society is so fucked up with all ignorant people around....

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

They do get bigger, or they should, this is a type of goldfish, goldfish' bodies stop growing when they dont have enough room, but teur insides don't, their organs keep growing until they have an adult size, but by the time they do, the fish' belly is too small to have them in and the organs are crushed against each other and the fish will die from internal bleedings, thats why lots of goldfish have a read belly when they're dead, these animals are pets for half your life when cared for well (c)

Natalie B - 11 years ago

You are so good at many things Miss Emmy :)

Shine N. Hatfield - 11 years ago

You should probably stop commenting before you make yourself sound more uninformed. I understand where you are coming from. You seem to have a good heart. But these fish are only pet fish. They are already adults by the time of purchase. They won't get any bigger. This isn't animal abuse. I wouldn't worry your pretty little head off :)

Alice In Wonderland - 11 years ago

The fish changed colors.. at the beginning she had one with a black spot on its head and now it's gone..

plz answer mistresspav i wanna know

mistresspav - 11 years ago

and don't you need a pump? tks again!!

mistresspav - 11 years ago

probably a stupid question but I have to ask - can you have it in the rain?.. as in in the UK where it rains all the bloody time, won't it overflow being so small? many tks in advance!!

Veronica Kovelan - 11 years ago

wow, your videos are so entertaining and fun! thank you for making them, they make a nice calm and relaxing youtube night :)

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

Yes, plants do filter water but they can't replace a filter, buy yourself a ammonia, NO2 and NO3 test and see how high the results will be though they all should be 0 in a healthy, well filtered pond

LisaNotMyName - 11 years ago

The plants are the filters silly :) if you want you can look it up!

Hkiwi1846 - 11 years ago

do.u know what variaty of goldfish they are adorible

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

That has nothing to do with it, they produce huge ammounts of ammonia, its not a betta that produces almost no ammonia! I hope you realize these fishies will grow to over a feet in a few years?!! Poor fishies, goldfish can easily get over 40 years, but most dont even reach 3 because of people like you! They might look fine but you dont see what's going on inside, they might have fatal problems on their gills !

LisaNotMyName - 11 years ago

they are so small and the bucket is so big... shut up they look fine dummy. :)

Timothy Nguyen - 11 years ago

The fish r SO SO SO SO SO cute

spacebug30 - 11 years ago

Oh gosh, poor fishies, SO many fish in that little bucket?!! Without any kind of filtration?!! A goldfish needs 40 gallon (fancy) or 75 gallon (common or comet) each, that thing they're in is less than 5 gallon!! Great, you are promoting animal abuse, these fish are burning in their own ammonia and will get burns and poisoning from it very fast, just like finrot, they'll grow theirselves death within a couple of months....

2006kcl - 11 years ago

hello, this is great. im trying to create a small bond for my balcony and this is the perfect size. can you just clarify the names of the very small fish you have and the plants you used. i have a mostly shady balcony.. will this pond thrive? also, do you have a filter or pump at all, or needed to add one over time? thanks so much for this :) im going to get started very soon!

Your little pot pond looks amazingly healthy...im thinking of putting a small pond, 2ft 11 inches x 2ft 8 inches, 1 ft deep, and wondered about filtering and keeping the water clean. may I ask if you have just used the plants, or do u add water safe into the water?

ryan u - 11 years ago

Just because some people put fish in vases and little bowls or cups doesn't mean it's right. Some people leave cats and dogs in cages all their life, and no one says that's right, so why should it be different with fish? Though calling her an idiot is completely out of line and utterly rude.

The pond size is fine fish have this strange ability to stay the same size or grow incredibly large depending on the size of the body of water they liv in believe me I know I have 100+ Koi fish living in a HUGE pond in my back yard the fish slow their growth once they reach a certain size and every few years we expand the pond and they get like twice as big

Fish and Fluff - 12 years ago

@karyandjoseph Goldfish which need either a pond atleast 20 gallons or tank that's each fish they grow to be over 2 foot the small ones are babies and die if not and the small ones are killifish which need a heavily planted area and to be in large groups cause you take a wild creature it deserves to get atleast proper care if it has to live with you haha the they like you.

theravenslizard - 12 years ago

ive had and bred fish a long time, if you have a hearty fish they dont always die if you have them in a smaller environment... if your sustain them well and they are happy i wouldnt worry too much but they are right they wont breed in there... however, having 8 fish in there i wouldnt want them to breed, seems a little bit overstocked to me, but if they are living happily then theres nothing to worry about, when they get bigger though you will need a bigger pond or another pond

DuneDemon8 - 12 years ago

The great thing is that you made them a pond, because they can't reproduce in tanks. The bad thing is that they need like 1000l per pair to be happy and reproduce (the gold fish you have). They need big ponds to live normal life. I've been in fish breeding for 20 years, and I know that that is not good for them. The females that won't lay eggs in such small space will dissolve them inside their body and after couple of times they do this they get bad inflamations and they die.

robbie shrektor - 13 years ago

Do you ever need to clean the water? Or do the plants just do it?

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@cow29777 - The plants floating on the surface are water hyacinths and the ones hanging over the edge of the pond are called parrot feather.

EpicCommentTime - 13 years ago

Hey Emmy, what plants did you use in the pond?

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@DoubleJay750 - I have zero tolerance for perverts.

Rachel Oyoung - 13 years ago

neil147a - 13 years ago

I like the little ball you've given them to play with too

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@earthymoon - I'll have to see. It gets fairly cold but I think the goldfish can handle it, even if it gets a little icy. I've also got some ideas about insulating the pot to keep them warmer. If I do it, just for kicks I'll post pics on the EMJ blog .

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@azanji - Yessh! Confirmation. Pearlscale it is. And the other guys...guppies, killifish, medaka? Whatevs let's just call them stinkin' cute.

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@missqueenbean - Aww jee. You're making me blush. :) & thanks EMJ wouldn't be here w/o you :D

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@XjacksonhaltomX - Hey thanks, and welcome aboard :)

missqueenbean - 13 years ago

If the world was made up of ppl like you, the clouds would be cotton candy , the sun will always shine, and people would love one and other. just saying, The candy you review can never be as sweet as your smile and heart. <3

RandomMe2011 - 13 years ago

I love animals :D

azanji - 13 years ago

yes emmy, they are pearlscale goldfish. I sell them at work for about $9 each. They can get pretty big if you let them and are so adorable at any size. The other fish you have look more like guppies than killiefish, cuz I sell those too. but maybe they are just a type that i haven't seen before. They are adorable regardless!!!! enjoy them and keep the awesome vids coming. my daughter and I look forward to every one. :)

Ann Jadia - 13 years ago

@skybluesundaeek lol really

ImpishDIY - 13 years ago

The chubby ones are so cute! I love fish, but every time I buy them, they die. I guess I'm just better at keeping furry pets!

Angie Yen - 13 years ago

@emmymadeinjapan i asked because i'm going to an aquarium on the weekend to buy more fish for my new tanks and your fish look just adorable!

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@skybluesundaeek Ah, man :( I keep 'em outside and so far the water hyacinths have done a pretty good job protecting them from critters. *fingers-crossed*

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@araxblazen - I'm not exactly sure. They were mislabeled as medaka but they might by pearlscale goldfish? Not sure, but maybe one of my viewers will know...?

Angie Yen - 13 years ago

what are the chubby fish called?

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@mypillowpetrocks - Thanks! :)

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@MarshmallowMaiden - I love watching them swim. They kinda waddle.

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@Jade7272 - Ah, that's a bummer. 7 years is a long time for a fish though & I'm glad you got a new one.

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@advancewing - Thanks :) & stay tuned!

emmymadeinjapan - 13 years ago

@KitsuneBozu1 - Good question. The water plants do a great job keeping the water clean, but I do a partial water change ever couple of weeks to keep things fresh.

KitsuneBozu1 - 13 years ago

Too cute! Do the water plants completely clean it, or do you have to take the fish out occasionally to clean it manually?

advancewing - 13 years ago

I love that you show more than just candy. I can't wait to see more.

Maryanne M - 13 years ago

SO CUTE!!! ... sorry, i love fish XD I had a beta fish who lived to be 7 years old. He died a few months ago. But now I have another one :) ANYHOW - you did a great job on the pond ^_^

InkyBlackSun - 13 years ago
