It is always heartbreaking to have to give up your pets. Nice to see people helping out. Truly are still good people in this world. Thanks for sharing.
Some nice additions there Vic, it’s a real shame those two or three older Oscars have such terrible hole in the head :( Those two big ghost knives are awesome, I’ve never owned one
I have a 20inch fire eel that i recently adopted. It only eats night crawlers. Prior owner couldn’t get it to eat anything else. So far neither can I 😢. But he’s so fun to keep. So personable and outgoing.
Probably be better off for you Vic if you put those black ghost knives in a tank with pvc tubes, also Probably best to get them in another tank away from so many cichlids. Some awesome additions tho 👍
Man that Wels Catfish is gorgeous, has it ever "tried" eating any of the kois? I am sure he can do it if he wanted to. It's one of my fears, doing a big catfish with kois. I wanted to do an RTC with Kois in the future but im scared with the mouth size an RTC has, he'd try to eat a full grown koi. Of course feeding would lower the chances of the RTC doing it. But they are such gluttons, it makes it seem like it wouldn't matter.
If a tank mate fits in an RTC's mouth, it will be eaten sooner or later. Same with wels but our wels has proven an exception, moody, spoiled brat who hates large meals. So far the wels hasn't eaten anyone, although he did mouth some. We watch close.
I dont know if i remember if you actually said this but you were talking about getting rid of / rehoming a bunch of koi from the 25k , was that something if so hows that going ?

Awesome rescue Vic
Thank you very much my friend! You are doing a uselful job.Greetings from Moscow.
So nice of you to say this, my country(wo)man. Thank you!
Those three Kois are looking for the end of the pond!
So nice to see the fish interact immediately.

:) yes, the best feeling when you give a fish 10x more room

We have had similar experience. Once they set into their feeding habits, they seem impossible to wean off onto different feeds!
😃👍🐟
Nice rescue there Vic, love those episodes 👍
My faves too.
I love retails and green terrors ❤️🫡💯
Great rescue. One question: Why were there huge puffs of blood that came out of the gills of those koi when you put them into their new home?
I caught that, too. Have never seen anything like that!
Thank you. Koi bleed easily at gills when they struggle in a net. It heals quick and without complications.

Late reply a month later but all 4 of our BGKs got adopted by an awesome peer.
@@Fish-Story oh that's cool! Thanks for the reply Vic

How do you keep the bottom of your tanks so clean? I never see any debris it’s perfect.
Bottom drains take in all detritus, which is swept by current and fish.
Did You notice when You put the Kois in the pond they were bleeding, I would think Your Giant Wels would love the smell?.
koi bleed at gills easily when fighting in a net, they heal quickly and inconsequentially it seems. wels hates large meals, fortunately for us.
I guess arowana arent that territorial? Seems to not even care you added one to its tank....
They are territorial and hierarchical. Beakerina DID let the new arowana know she is the boss but without unneeded injuries.
get those ghost knives out of there before they're cichlid food. come on, you know better
there had been one living in there for months, had done well, so did the 2 new additions, but all 4 got adopted out recently.
very nice editions my friend
