00:00Hello and welcome to My Pet and Me. I'm Rory.
00:04And I'm Fern. We've been hoping you would join us. We've just been cleaning the barn
00:08for the animals.
00:09Lots of different animals make excellent pets and we love meeting you and yours.
00:13We certainly do. Rory, what are your plans?
00:15I'm off to meet some new friends and you can come with me too. Let's go.
00:18Have fun.
00:19See you.
00:21My pet, my pet and me. My pet, my pet and me.
00:27Down every street are pets to meet.
00:32Some big, some small, some skinny, some furry.
00:35Some keep very still, some always in a hurry.
00:39Some have four paws. Some have sharp claws.
00:44Some quack. Some bark. Some purr. Some moo. Some grunt.
00:48Some squawk. Some cock-a-doodle-doo.
00:50My pet, my pet and me. My pet, my pet and me.
00:56My pet, my pet and me. Have you met my pet and me?
01:05Today we're in Rugeley to meet Thomas and his goldfish.
01:09Shall we go and find them? Come on.
01:12KNOCK AT DOOR
01:17Hi, Thomas. Hi, Rory.
01:19And you must be Dad. Hello. Hi.
01:21Now, I hear that you've got goldfish. Is that right?
01:24Yes. Come inside and I'll show you.
01:27Let's go then.
01:34Wow. So, these are your goldfish.
01:38What are their names?
01:40Taiyo's there. Mm-hm.
01:42And Sonic and Boggles. Boggles.
01:46And I think I could have guessed which one was Boggles
01:49because look at that fish.
01:51Now, he is called a bubble-eye fish and it's easy to see why.
01:55They've always got those funny eyes.
01:57Can you do an impression of one?
01:59With bulgy eyes.
02:04That was very good.
02:06And did you know that goldfish don't have eyelids?
02:09They just have eyelids so they can't close their eyes.
02:12It's quite amazing, isn't it?
02:14That means they have to sleep with their eyes open.
02:16Can you imagine doing that?
02:18Wow. So, it's very important that whatever room they're in
02:21that you make sure it gets nice and dark at some point during the day.
02:24Do you do that for your goldfish?
02:26Yeah, and I've got a night light.
02:29Oh.
02:31Oh, perfect, so you can change the colour of the light for the evening.
02:35I like that a lot. That's very fancy.
02:39So, we've got Sonic as well.
02:42Why is Sonic called Sonic?
02:44Because he swims fast.
02:46Oh, I thought that might be why.
02:48And he looks like a common goldfish.
02:50And we also have our friend Tails.
02:53Why is he called that?
02:55Because he has two tails.
02:57Oh, I see.
02:59And he looks like a very special kind of goldfish
03:02called a fantail goldfish.
03:04They're very beautiful with those big, long tail fins, aren't they?
03:07Yes.
03:09How long have you had your goldfish for?
03:11One year.
03:12Just one year?
03:14Well, hopefully you'll have them for many more
03:16because goldfish can live for over ten years if you look after them well.
03:20And I'm glad to see that you've got three in the tank here
03:23because goldfish love to live in little groups.
03:26Yeah.
03:27Some people think that goldfish can't remember very much,
03:30but that is not true.
03:32Actually, they can learn things.
03:34So, if you feed your goldfish at the same time every day,
03:36they'll remember and come up to the surface and wait for you.
03:39What is the best thing about your goldfish?
03:42Watching them swim around.
03:45It's lovely, isn't it?
03:47It's very relaxing watching them.
03:49Fern, can you give us some facts about goldfish
03:51just like Boggle, Sonic and Tails?
03:54Of course, Rory.
03:56One.
03:58A goldfish's teeth are not in their mouth,
04:00but actually in the back of their throat,
04:03and these teeth help them to crush food.
04:07Two.
04:08A group of goldfish is called a troubling.
04:10That's a funny word, isn't it?
04:14Three.
04:15Goldfish have a special coating on their scales
04:17that helps keep them healthy,
04:19so it's important that we don't touch them.
04:21We don't want to rub it off.
04:24A lot of people think goldfish are easy to keep,
04:27but they do need to be cared for just like any other pet.
04:30Because they live in a tank,
04:32they're entirely reliant on you
04:34to make sure everything is just right.
04:36So, Thomas, how do you look after your goldfish?
04:39Cleaning them out.
04:41Oh, that sounds very important,
04:43because goldfish eat a lot,
04:45which means they poo a lot,
04:47so it's important that you take good care of them.
04:50Goldfish eat a lot, which means they poo a lot.
04:54They do.
04:55So that means that every single week
04:57you have to clean out your goldfish, don't you?
05:00So what do we have to do to clean them out?
05:02Wipe the sides.
05:04What do we use for that?
05:05We get this big sponge.
05:07Wow.
05:08Sponge and a stick.
05:10Great.
05:11Right, well, I have a go first,
05:12and you can tell me what to do.
05:13Clean the sides.
05:15OK.
05:17And I need to be very careful
05:19not to touch any of the fish,
05:21because that could hurt them.
05:28Good work.
05:32OK.
05:33That's looking good.
05:34What do we need to do next?
05:35Take this out,
05:37and then we have to change the filter.
05:43There's one.
05:46And there's two.
05:48Goldfish need a tank with a filter
05:49to keep the water nice and clean
05:51so they can stay healthy.
05:52Right, that's the filters.
05:54What's next?
05:55You have to take some water.
05:58OK.
05:59How much water are we taking out?
06:01To that line.
06:02OK, down to that line.
06:03Right.
06:04This is a lot of water we're taking out, isn't it?
06:08There we are.
06:17There we go, that's it.
06:18It's down to that line now.
06:20OK, what do we need to do now?
06:22Get some clean water.
06:24OK, let's go.
06:33OK.
06:44When changing the water,
06:45it must be treated first
06:46and then left to reach room temperature
06:48before pouring it back into the tank.
06:52So, Thomas, what have you got in here?
06:58Eat and hide in them?
07:01Yeah.
07:02It's important to make sure
07:03you get the right plants for goldfish
07:04because you need to make sure they're safe for them.
07:06And what else is in there?
07:12Oh, sleeping and hiding.
07:14It's good to have lots of interesting things in your tank
07:17to entertain your goldfish.
07:21OK, that's the tank all filled up.
07:31There we go.
07:32What's next?
07:35How much do you feed them?
07:39Just a pinch?
07:41And what are you feeding them, Thomas?
07:44Fish flakes. Mmm.
07:49It's a good idea to wait a while after changing the water
07:52before you feed the fish,
07:53so we'll just give them a little treat for now.
07:59Great. Do you think they're very happy now?
08:01Yes.
08:02What do we need to do?
08:03Wash our hands.
08:04We do.
08:06Wash your hands!
08:09What are your goldfish doing, Thomas?
08:11Swimming up and down the glass.
08:15Having a great time.
08:17If your fish could do anything,
08:19what do you think they'd do?
08:23If my fish could do anything,
08:26they would be aquamats.
08:29They would be aquamats.
08:31They would be aquamats.
08:33They would be aquamats in the circus.
08:37They would do backflips
08:39and go on their way to peace
08:42and go on a seesaw.
08:44They would make a tall tower
08:47with Sonic at the bottom,
08:49Tails in the middle
08:51and Buggles at the top.
08:53All the crowd would cheer.
09:04We've come on a special trip to the local aquarium
09:06to see some other fish and underwater creatures.
09:09Shall we go and explore?
09:10Yeah.
09:11Let's go.
09:15Do you know what these big flatfish are,
09:17sitting in the bottom?
09:18Uh, rays.
09:20Yes, that's right.
09:22It looks like they're flying through the water, doesn't it,
09:24when they're moving.
09:25But sometimes they just like to sit in the bottom,
09:27like this one.
09:28See that one?
09:29They're quite different to your goldfish, aren't they?
09:32Do you know that rays are the same family as sharks?
09:35They're all in the same family
09:36and they all have a special skeleton.
09:38It's not made of bones, like you and me.
09:40It's made of cartilage,
09:41which is what your ears are made of.
09:42Can you touch your ear?
09:43What does that feel like?
09:45Quite bendy, isn't it?
09:47Yeah.
09:48That's what their skeletons are made of.
09:50Here comes a ray now.
09:52Hello.
09:58Oh, look.
09:59Look at these guys.
10:00Here's the big ones.
10:03And what are they?
10:05These ones are called sun stars.
10:07You can see one up here.
10:08This is a little one.
10:21Hey!
10:22Hey, guys.
10:24Penguins are birds,
10:26but they're not very good at flying.
10:28They're very good at swimming, just like fish, though.
10:32It's like a penguin show.
10:34It is like a penguin show, isn't it?
10:36Oh, they're very fast, aren't they?
10:47Whoa.
10:49Wow.
10:51Are they not beautiful?
10:52Look at them.
10:53Look at the jellyfish.
10:54Do you know how old they are?
10:55Like, how long they've been on the planet for?
10:57They were around before the dinosaurs.
10:59650 million years.
11:19Wow.
11:22Look at all these fish here.
11:24They're swimming up on top of us.
11:26Over our heads.
11:28Look at that big turtle.
11:30He's huge, isn't he?
11:32I think he's almost as big as you.
11:34Do you know what his name is?
11:35What?
11:36It's Molokai, and he is almost 40 years old.
11:39That's even older than me.
11:41Look at the sharks.
11:43Do you know what these little black and white stripey ones
11:45with the yellow on top are called?
11:47No.
11:48Sergeant Majors, you should give them a salute.
11:50Yes, sir.
11:56Wow.
11:57Wow.
11:58Look at that ray and his big smiley face.
12:00It's coming. Look.
12:02Wow.
12:07Thomas, thank you very much for letting me meet your goldfish
12:11and for coming to this amazing aquarium with you.
12:14Have a great day.
12:15Thank you for coming with me.
12:18Not at all.
12:27Hi, Ferran.
12:28Hi, Rory.
12:29Hi, Holly. Hi, Barry.
12:30I'm trying to make their beds, but they're not being very helpful.
12:33I can see that.
12:35You look happy. What have you been up to?
12:37I'm very happy. I had such a great time with my new friends.
12:40It was so much fun.
12:41That's lovely.
12:43Pets are brilliant, but remember you shouldn't touch an animal
12:46unless the owner says it's OK.
12:48But two pets you can definitely play with are ours.
12:51Go onto the CBeebies website and play the My Pet and Me game.
12:54Thanks for spending time with us. We hope you've had fun too.
13:00Today we met
13:03a lovely pet.
13:05We see how much you care for them.
13:08Thank you so much for sharing them.
13:12Time for us to
13:15just remind you
13:18after you've played with your pet
13:22wash your hands, don't forget!
13:25It doesn't matter what pet you've got
13:28you might have one, you might not
13:31it's still fun finding out
13:34what having a pet is all about
13:37My pet, my pet and me
13:40My pet, my pet and me
13:43My pet, my pet and me
13:46My pet and me
13:49Bye!
