How I Do Water Changes - Python Water Change System
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This is how I use a my Python Water Changer to change out the water in my indoor tanks. This is not an advertisement for Python, but I just genuinely love this product of theirs. I used to carry 5 gallon buckets back and forth and I'm never going back.

I left the hobby many years ago, depression got the best of me, and I was so attached to my gold fishes for the very wrong reasons, it took me a long journey to overcome it, and even tho I miss them and saddens me to remember loosing them your channel actually helped me to recall how I used to enjoy and feel at ease and peace just to caring them and naming them (most laughed by the idea of giving names to fish), getting to know their personalities improve their tanks, treat their illnesses and research... I might comeback to it hehe Looking forward for more videos!

I enjoy seeing your fish so very much, thank you-
After spending 100 bucks on my own (50 footer) i just stumbled upon your video and i had no idea i could use it like that ! ThaaAank youuu Edit: use it like that- with shower water flow manipulation
Hey Luke! Great vids btw, you have some adorable Ranchus. Python water changers are a necessity! I dont know how people keep fish without them. When I started fish keeping 5 years ago I did one water change with buckets and a syphon and was like aw hell no! Invested in a python system and the rest is history. I use a water pump attached to the intake hose and use that to pump out the water into my kitchen sink.
This is so informative!! Thank you!!
I love mine. Set up like you did
Thanks for the tip about making sure that the water you add is warmer than the water it’s going into rather than colder. Because I would’ve thought that it would’ve been better to put colder rather than warmer.
Your filtration is super awesome😮
Your goldfish are gorgeous, thank you-
Your fishes are soo CHUBBY and Cuuute!😭💖💗
Alot of people say different thing even i try it on 3 different store of petco and petsmart and some other fish store i ask the same question and they told me 3 different thing crazy thing to spend more more and i saw your video and you do it like me. Good keep it up opening eyes

Hey my friend amazing tank which sponge filters are those IMO it looks cleaner than regular sponge filters
Wow wow so nice
Its better to have the water previously rested hopefully from the day before and then transfer to your aquarium that is what is called “aged water” . This is easy to do if you have a big container to hold it and the help of a water pump.
So your tank is near the shower or you have a long hose Leading to the shower?? LOL..my tank is in my family room and I would love to be able todo this!
Smashed the like for big Jon...
Hi luke, new subscriber here And also new to goldfish keeping. I have a few questions, are you using just regular tap water? Or do you have some kind of special water filtration system in your home? Also how often do you test water for ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? Ive had my 55 gallon tank for over a month now but i noticed my ammonia levels are high. Not sure if its reading ammonium because my goldfish all seem fine, healthy, and are eating.
Hey hey, just found your channel and love the videos so far. I have a question and would love an answer if you have the time. Your videos are the first videos I happened to stumble on about fish care so I'm very ignorant on the subject. I thought it was like, dangerous to use tap/shower water? Is that true? If so, is that what the primer is for? Sorry if this is a simple question, I just really have like zero knowledge. Thanks for your time!
Do you ever have to sanitize the inside of the tube?
Beautiful Ranchu's, when you do a water change do you add anything other then water conditioner to the water?
Yes
Your goldfish have a really huge wen, beautiful Can you make a video about how you increase the wen growth? Really appreciate it🤘
2:50 wow that's a big poop!
Can I use tank water and pour it on grass?
Do you take the green part off of the shower hose, and put the shower head back on? That’s a good setup but don’t have a hose setup on shower. How often would you do water changes or did u say and I missed it. I love your merch, you should have merch where people send in a pick of their goldfish and your artist draws it up for your fans on whatever clothes they choose. I would totally buy it!! I have a beautiful calico oranda. I can’t determine the sex of it but I love it I didn’t think I could love a fish so much.
😄Thanks for more content Go loopy ! 😁 How much do ranchu goldfish cost ?

How did you connect the phyton to the shower
How do you clean the gravel? Will the python still work if you don’t have a shower nearby to attach it to?
How do you pick up poo from the goldfish my hose can’t pick it up
@LukesGoldies How do YOU add the conditioner? Before you add the water or after?
New subscriber here, love the vidoes. I am not sure if you stated what you added to the tank. Can you please let me know, thanks.

Do all fish need air pumps?
You should try using a water pump and a large plastic tub . Waste less water , Fills tank up faster .
Hey Luke I have a question! For my water changes it has bad chemicals in normal water is that ok during water changes or is it bad for the fish?

You need to use water conditioner, they sell it at petsmart, petco, etc.
Luke, at the beging when you turn your filter off I only have 1 filter at the top. So should I still turn it off when running a water change? Is it safe for the goldfish?

You can use regular tap water. Just make sure to use the necessary additives to remove metals and chemials.
I just use a normal gravel vac because I don’t have a usable sink or shower like that near me
what about the chlorine?cause i see that its direct to the main water supply...no chlorine?

Meanwhile in the UK: Can't use tap water... It's all chlorinated so you gotta de-chlorinate (you can get drops of a fluid that will do that for you) the tap water before adding it to the tank.
Everytime I try to do large water changes my fish die. Even when i try to keep the water the same temp

Colder than what the tank temperature already is... yes. If you put 60 degree water in a tank thats 70 degrees the risk is real. More so than is you put 80 degree water in a 70. Ideally you put 70 degree water in a 70 degree tank.
