I have to say, this channel is totally not what I expected, having seen it on TikTok. This is so much more calm, informative and scientifically accurate than my biases would have assumed! I love seeing eel cared for like this, and--coming from an area where sturgeon are a point of pride for us, it's very nice to see them actually thriving in proper water conditions for the first time on TH-cam! You're awesome, keep it chill and keep it coming.
That's what you're missing in your pond a tire and a shopping cart to make it even more realistic. 😂 And yeah that's how the rivers look like around here in IN. Awesome video today.
I just want to say that the videos of your fish make my days so much better. They calm me down when I'm overwhelmed. My jam is plants and insects, and I haven't given fish as much thought. But I have become fascinated by these dudes because of you.
Chilling in a shallow and dark eel pot must be one of the best feelings. Just being alone with a dim light looking at your little creatures swimming around looks like one hell of an experience 👍
Get a few jingle bells to tie to a string. They will make a distinctive noise when jostled underwater. Drop them in and jangle them just before you drop pellets in/hand feed, and they'll learn to associate the sound with feeding time. You'll see distinctive behavior changes associated with the noise after a couple of weeks, at most.
Never been a fish guy but this is my kind of thing. Inpressive wirhout being flashy with animals that people do not immediately think of. Mans got his own interwctive aquarium.
Okay now I'm invested! You must install waterproof underwater cameras, flood the place, and begin the "Adventures In The Eel Pit" Starring Crunchwrap Supreme, Eely Dan....
I love your eel pit it has inspired me to start my own one when i grow up and live in my own house because my friend and I love fish and we have come up with the idea to live in separate houses on the same property and have this big building with all types of fish and i would love to have some diamond sturgeons they are so beautiful creatures and i love the idea of swimming with them bc at my house theres a pond/river thing and i go swimming down there with eels pretty cool tho and pls keep up the good work i really do love it it is so amazing also i love the new catfish super cute
Did they originally use the cistern for drinking water or to water the garden during droughts? I think what you’re doing is so cool, keep it up! My buddy growing up found a spring fed fountain at one of his neighbors house, offered to clean it up and he stocked it with all the trophy fish he caught fishing the local creeks. The more I think about it, I’m surprised a Herron never found it
I wouldn't be able to resist filling it up as deep as you can, to be able to swim around with the fish in deeper water and give them an insane amount of space to swim as well.
Would you think paddlefish would work well in the eel pit once they grow out abit? Could be a very cool addition if it can work, another ancient fish alongside the sturgeon and gar
The Eel Pit gives me life! I was wondering how you know the max limit for how many fish the pit can handle. Is it a volume calculation or something? Oh and are greyling on the table for the pit, because I love their colorful fins.
you should put some lava rocks in there for surface area for bacteria. and more river rocks so there is no exposed concrete on floor would look better. but this is the coolest thing ever
Build a Floating platform for your chair. Attach Purple Growlights (above water) but aimed downwards. Maybe add a bit of a 'root' mass below the platform, so when you lower the platform, it is always resting on the rock with blunt ends. To avoid crushing something. Let that area be a bit of an 'algae' grow area that can be nipped at, by the koi etc. While also keep everything else clean and fresh. Beyond that, I agree that you don't need a lot of water depth more than the fish grow and demand it. You don't want them jumping anyhow (Which require deeper waters). However, maybe add a few platforms on the wall side with moss and ferns or similar. Just to improve air quality overall.
Bro these fishes are literally your friends. You can tell they love you they’re like “omg our human is in here with us :0000” COULDNT help but stare at you ahhahahahahahaha sooo cute
_YOU_ I've seen clips of your ticktoks floating round and i've been dieing to see the full thing (dont use ticktok). I never knew you were on youtube. I know jack about fishing keeping, but your exacution of the eel pit is amazing
I think people understand that in the biotope there isnt any aquatic plants but you know that there are trees and brush alongside the river filtering nitrates out of the water and thats why people are telling you to plant some plants, dont use aquatic plants if it could hurt the fish but surely you could put a couple of planters down there in the water and plant some monstera, peace lillies, and pothos above the water to help with filtrations that way your underwater biotope remains unchanged and you have the benefit of natural filtration via nitrate removal.
How about some sort of mullet for the pit? Most of them are at least occasionally found in freshwater, and I think some are exclusively freshwater species. Or maybe a freshwater drum?

Not biased. The channel name is unusual and you probably saw short clips. That doesn't make you biased. You just had to adjust your expectations. 😊
@@echofoxtrot2.051 you mean learn your biases were in this case incorrect
Hope everyone has a great day!
You too fellow eel pit enthusiast
More of this 😊
Always awesome to see the pit in proper wide-screen format! Great video.

White cloud Mountain minnows would be a cool schooling fish to add. They can tolerate cold water but i think the eels might munch them
But that would be really cool. 100 of them would be so cool!
This is a childhood dream of mine. Very cool. Weird how in the wild, albino is almost a death sentence, but in the captive market, it's a blessing.
I’m with Catherine D, the videos make my day and I proud to be an African Cichlid keeper with the goal of one day caring for an eel. 💜
Sturgeon are such cool fish, I was fascinated by them as a kid.
Amazing update brother. Can’t wait for all the new fishes to arrive
LOVE all their names

I really enjoy your videos
Before this video I never thought of cold water exotics can’t wait to see where this goes!
Best pond channel imo!
Eely Dan - love it!
that catfish is so cute :)
Loving the longer form videos my dude.
ohhh so many cute and lovely fishies
Radical, dude. You're killing (k-eel-ing?) it with that setup, bro. Have fun in Florida, and don't let Florida Man catch you!
Love the long form content keep it up
OK, this is pretty cool! Trout? They to hard to keep?
Lmao just casually getting bitten by a snake. Love all the work you do, my dude!
You should put some cover for the channel cat to keep his anxiety low! Beautiful setups :)
Definitely have some now!
great vid!!! i like the pit more!! ❤❤❤
Love watching these videos
Id be so addicted to that pit.🤣
Id be down there alllll the time. So kewl. 🥰
I wouldn't be able to resist filling it up as deep as you can, to be able to swim around with the fish in deeper water and give them an insane amount of space to swim as well.
I bet a small flathead catfish would be an awesome addition to the eel pit
Love the Eel pit.
This mas is living his life
Why is this the most enthralling media Ive ever seen
Would you think paddlefish would work well in the eel pit once they grow out abit? Could be a very cool addition if it can work, another ancient fish alongside the sturgeon and gar
Looking forward to next week's!
Caviar is such a beautiful fish

When he went under in stream I realized the eel pit is pretty accurate, especially the gravel (which I’m sure he collected from one of those streams)
Yooooo I’m so invested in you eel pit please show us when you get the new ones I’m excited ❤
This was awsome ❤
i love how you do these videos

this albino looks pretty
I’m absolutely in love with this eel pit, super happy I found your you tube channel. Can’t wait to see the new fish u got coming
Great work my guy
Bro these fishes are literally your friends. You can tell they love you they’re like “omg our human is in here with us :0000” COULDNT help but stare at you ahhahahahahahaha sooo cute
Ever thought about khuli loaches? Or dojo loaches? Or maybe to cool for them?
He put 100 dojo loaches in the eel pit. Little if any are still alive. Eels or bars ate them
You need to do a live feed video setup- maybe on tiktok too so you get the monies from live streaming on both! Id watch!!!❤❤❤
What are the dimensions of your pit? Enjoy watching from time to time.
You’re definitely a Beastie Boy, you’ve got a license to eel
Nice new Catfish!
Man im from the south and you grabbing a water snake almost gave me a heart attack
Love these guys! Update on Bathtub next time?
you should add like a fake rain or something lol would be cool maybe a patch of land too
On today's episode of: The Coolest Man in the Midwest!
The catfish with its googly eyes :D
Name the albino cat burrito extreme 😭 I adore all the silly names you give all the lil guys
Your the best cow🎉
White cloud minnows would be soo cool In here. You could have a breeding school of them
can we get a one hour video of just the eel pit and its noises?
I love this channel
Very Cool!
I'm thinking of getting a tote and getting some fish homies primarily for the fish water for my plants. Ever use the waste water for plants???
I just dump it into my yard but I should do an aquaponics system.
The albino cat fish is so dope
_YOU_ I've seen clips of your ticktoks floating round and i've been dieing to see the full thing (dont use ticktok). I never knew you were on youtube. I know jack about fishing keeping, but your exacution of the eel pit is amazing
this is so cool!!
Have you still been seeing loaches around?
Is that 50w I see at 3:00 mark?
Are you going to get some wave makers? Or do you not want more flow ??
Ayyyy northern watersnake! One of my favourite snakes local to me
Have you ever thought about largemouth/small mouth bass or bluegills ?
So what is the purpose of the two aquariums on top of that big tank? Are they for smaller fish or have to do with treating the water?
Every time I hear Crunchwrap supreme I laugh out loud that is a wonderful name makes me think of Taco Bell 😁
It would be an honor to stay down there and watch them all swim around for at least an hour...at least!

So awesome
Nice I goto the Jones Fish in Cincinnati Ohio to get my pets! Going to get more soon
Can you do a 24 hour live stream i would watch it all the time honestly
super cool!
Hey when I had my albino Chanel cat I had him in warm water and he had fast growth about 5 to 10 inches a month
So you do get in the water!
How about some sort of mullet for the pit? Most of them are at least occasionally found in freshwater, and I think some are exclusively freshwater species. Or maybe a freshwater drum?
I’ve considered freshwater drum that’s definitely be unique.
How can you tell the eel apart?
I think it would be better if the eel pit was full but cool idea is it gonna be big enough for the sturgeon tho they get huge
Will you get ducks?
Im glad you're going to add decoration but im comcerned about the size being to small if you add more
Rip dojo🙏🏽
