Today Orangie was the star of a very brightly lit video on YouTube for Cat TV #5. You may notice a couple other small goldfish swimming about but they are new and shy and they mostly stayed under the mirror and outta sight!
Orangie is an Orando Goldfish, we bought it for around $7 at a pet store. This is him right after we got him, SO timid!
He went into a 30 gallon tank and has easily doubled in size in a year. The wen on his head that looks like brains is significantly larger!
For the video I needed a few things including a new tank; the large tank he lives in normally was slightly scuffed since it was made of acrylic. Even a light scrubbing with the wrong side of a sponge ruins the finish…
So instead of getting out a polishing kit while Orangie waited in the bathtub, I bought a simple 20 gallon glass tank for $40 which is going to make water changes much easier going forward. Inside a bucket under the bathtub faucet I put this small water pump and hose and started to fill it up!
Look carefully and you can see the DIY auto feeder I made at the very last minute… with a kitchen timer and cardboard taped to it! I realized that several hours of this might need to be spiced up a lil with meal-time for Orangie, hope it did!
Next video I’ll have a better automatic feeder to have smaller amount of food dropped more frequently for our viewing pleasure.
