@lukesgoldies

Hey folks, my name is Luke and I buy, sell, breed, and keep goldfish. I absolutely love goldfish keeping and am here to share what I have learned over the years with others and inspire others to join this amazing hobby. My website is lukesgoldies.com and there you can read my informational articles, buy goldfish from my affiliates, buy the products I recommend, buy goldfish merch, or support this channel. Thank you and I hope you enjoy my content.
