"If you've named a fish, then we keep it forever, you can come back to visit your fish."
That's one of the most generous things I have ever heard. What a wonderful guy, truly.
You are the bomb my friend, keep up the excellent work.

"if little Joey names the fish Spot or, ahh.., Butfuck, whatever..." Lol 2:50
Yes! What an awesome man, i have endless love and respect for him, id love to know him in real life, if i lived anywhere near him id volunteer daily! I can only imagine how much food and time it takes to care for all of them. That sand fountain was gorgeous
@@nomdeplume2213 people who work on fish rescues like these need those extra hands and they never have the proper funds to save and grow there dreams out to the world. I would volunteer daily to the average joe who just wants to help. Men and women like him are really valuable and are ALLAYS overlooked, i mean common stop these false TV shows and start making these rescue chanles to give out to the world so people locally can support there residents. I gets me how these large corporate companies are man handling these joe's of the world. T_T
(I also hate these life drama shows like the kardashiens, if the stop that and made a chanle dedicated to pet wield life rescues then set up a Monthly, those funds plus donations can help "JOE" here and everyone elts whos doing this out of their hearts!)
The tanks and fish are very impressive, but that mullet is legendary.
Lazaro Quintino I’m surprised there weren’t more comments on his mullet, he’s literally got the definition of a mullet! 🤘😝
He seems to be a really nice, cool guy too!
Agreed...that mullet is epic!!!

LMAO!!!😢😢😢😅😅😅😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Keeping fish as pets is helping me with my drinking and also my anger has vanished almost in 3 months. What a beautiful hobby and lifestyle.
That’s incredible, congratulations! I hope you’re doing well.
It has helped a lot with my anger too. Good luck brother, continued success be upon you
Fish therapy? Sounds good. I can definitely relate to the concept. It is a very "zen" activity. Definitely one of the best ways to learn about a Microcosm of Nature too. Maybe I should start keeping an aquarium again; even if it's only a pet Oscar in 20 gallons. Does anyone have a good guess regarding how large a tank would be solidly adequate to keep a female Peacock Bass vs keeping a male? That might be an option too. They are both super successful South Florida immigrants in the Everglades, which is 5 miles right down The Trail.

I'm a friend of bill W, and you are so on point with that. I'm happy it's working for you.
Clicked to watch a big fish tank, ended up getting mesmerized by the size of the mullet. You rock Big Rich.
I read your comment and was looking for the fish called mullet and then he turned around and I saw the hair and burst out laughing!
Right that mullet is awesome!
😂😂😂😂
Only thing bigger than those tanks is that man's heart.
Can’t be.
His heart is contained in his thoracic cavity which itself is smaller than his smallest of tanks.
You mean his mullet
Mullet bro
Well said
Best comment
Nearly dropped my phone when he first turned around and I saw that mullet! What a god
Omfg i did too!!!
a thing of pure beauty

@@OhioFishRescue-com you know how to run a perfect fish rescue well chief
That turn around mullet reveal though damn
caught me off guard
Most mullets died in the 80’s!! I was astonished to see one still going!!! 😳
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ZYGTropicals his did not 😆
@@tash8193 exactly!!! But now it’s covered in cobwebs!!!
best mullet I've ever seen WOW
Customer: So what kind of fish you have?
Big Rich: Yes
The fact that you keep family pets and let the owners come visit them shows that the amount of water in your home is exceeded only by the amount of love. May you be blessed and happy in all that you do.
Me: * mesmerized* "WOW look at the giant tanks"
Him: "Should we show them the big tank?"
Me: "Wait what... "
same
i was like whattttt
😂😂😂
I love how the water is so clear you can tell he loves them 🥺
Definitely a very serious set-up. Really used to annoy me when I saw something like a red tail being sold to someone with an ornamental tank. Had to talk a friend of mine out of putting arowanas in a four foot tank once - he had no idea what he was getting into and the shop was pushing the sale like it was a TV. I'd never even think of keeping big fish like that - it's a full time job. Rich is a true fishkeeper.
Water should always be clear lol
All I can say if everyone was like you the world would be a better place. That’s for Sure. Respect
Should charge $5.00 for people to come in and see the fish. Might help on a little bit of the costs involved.
it would be nice if a solar panel company would find it in there rich hearts and donate one heck of a state of the art electrical system it would help keep all those fish safe and help big time with saving all that money for hydro bills now it can be spent on more food or what ever some local farmers and other businesses should also help if possible this guy and his efforts are worth it and start a GO FUND ME
Man even $5.00 per family would help or $5 for adults an $2 for kids
@@brianchapman9283 dude me too you have no idea
Make it a suggested donation and free for children. Then nobody is turned away because of ability to pay.
@@audreywall3904 his go fund me is www.gofundme.com/ohio-fish-rescue-addition
Rich should honestly start charging for tours! Hes hand built an aquarium thats better than most "pro aquariums"..., absolutely amazing!!!!!! If i lived near id volunteer daily, i can't imagine the cost of food, chemicals, ELECTRICITY it takes to keep it going. Please make a gofundme!! Id donate, the moment he said that if a fish is named and donated the family can come back and spend time i felt tears haha what an amazing man!!! I am in awe, what an amazing couple. He and his wife seem like amazing people id love to know! My daughters would LOOOVE to see this in real life which is why i mentioned doing tours. Elementary school kids would be in heaven! My 5 yr old is mesmerized by the video alone haha Maybe charging for tours could help with the financial requirements.
I agree! He could make quite a bit for the rescue this way.
It’s also great to take the kids to see. I would’ve begged my parents back in the day to take me to see something like this at least once a week. Even if the charge was like $1 per person, it could add up quickly!
I had never heard the name Storie before and now I've seen it twice in the last few hours (the other was Stori) the odd thing is you both look alike.
You greedy people. He does this as a hobby not a way of income.
And he’s a great spokesman. But we all know, the majority of the questions would just be about his legendary long locks
Daniel Weinstein greedy??? Really? Jesus, you are so ignorant it hurts. This is not a hobby, he’s doing this because he CARES. It costs thousands and thousands to keep this place running! Having people pay for tours wouldn’t even cover the cost. And HE is not greedy either. If he did make more money than he spends somehow, he would just make expansions to take in even more fish. Do you know how much labor that all takes? It’s a full time job and he’s paying out of pocket to do it! Let’s hope you are just ignorant, and not just a selfish prick like you sound.
Dude has a heart of gold. This is what happens when your hobby spirals out of control into a lifestyle. Just imagine, he can't go on a vacation or leave that fish room sitting by itself for long.. btw that mullet is glorious!
This is the idea of traditional family living. One generation stays and cares for the land while the other goes traveling for a 2 week vacation somewhere. Multigenerational estates aren’t that common in the states anymore though.
Did you know you're the first video I ever watched on TH-cam as far as what came across my suggested videos? I thank you for that that was a year ago and here I am!!🙏❤️
Bro praise this man .he takes care of fishes and he doesn’t even need to .much love to him .
this guy is living the fish lovers dream
I know right
Absolutely fascinating. We know about dog rescues, cat rescues, etc, I never heard of a fish rescue until now. Well done guys, great work Rich.
His heart is larger than any of his huge tanks. What a wonderful man. True charity!
that is why he is called big Rich
the world needs more people like this guy!!
Dan Wiles totally true
Mm that you can get more fish?
And more hair like this!!!!!!
There must be a tremendous amount of time and effort spent to keep that many big fish and big tanks. I hope he receives donations of money and labor to help cover the cost. The monthly feeding bill alone would break a lot of people.
ecleveland1 has come
Yeah shit like this makes me what they do or did for a living. Some people just make it look easy
ecleveland1 xnxjxy
Damn this dude is awesome. Total respect to anyone living their dream when so many of us don't.
I was born in ‘69 and I have seen all the fads come and go but… Never and I repeat never ever have I seen a 1980s feathered mullet like that!! NEVER!! You go dude! 🤘🏼
9:16 blew my mind, a waterfall out of sand, and it's in the water. Wow just mind blowing!
LOVE what this man is doing. So VERY caring. Thank you Steve, it was one of the best and most enjoyable walk throughs I've ever seen on YT. Let's get Big Rich Price as much support as possible.
Thanks Ben. I tried to capture the experience but it's even more impressive in person.
+Ohio Fish Rescue What an amazing thing you're doing. A fish hero! Best wishes to your fishes! And you and your family of course.

Really was one of the best walk throughs watched the video twice I enjoyed it so much keep up the good work
While this is very admirable and impressive, I can't believe how many people buy these fish without doing research on whether or not they're actually going to be able to keep them.
Fault on the sellers as well..
@@TeHy11 I'd have to disagree. It should always be on the buyer to do research on what they're buying. This isn't exclusive to fish, but applies to everything you buy. You can't get upset at a car salesman, computer salesman, or any other salesman for not doing your research on what you're buying.
The fault lies with both parties on the sellers side its greed its all about money and of course if you sell something that has the potential to get huge some dumb yahoo is going to buy it, they dont care about the animal at all. On the buyers side its not doing your research and being really naive in thinking oh ya i got this and if i dont well ill just get rid of it. Like Rich said the stores shouldnt sell em or at least you should prove that you are fully capable of taking care of this animal that will get huge.
@@ainokea8916 Same handling as with more popular household animals such as dogs!
@@TheFishingNomad
The people selling are obviously at fault as well as the buyers. I worked in a pet store when I was younger and it would've been really irresponsible for me to not make sure people understood what they were getting into. And I very often discouraged people from buying species that I could tell they'd never properly care for. In fact I often discouraged people from buying anything at all. If I hear you talking about putting a fish in a little "fish bowl" on your desk then I won't sell you any fish at all unless you first buy a proper tank from me and get it set ip before you take the fish home
Thanks so much for saving these beautiful creatures. I've had several of these "pet store" purchases, but had educated myself as to their eventual sizes, so I was prepared with sufficient space.
That mullet. What a thing of beauty.
he goes big on everything
I thought it was just me...that's a big mullet lol
Our planet needs more people like you sir
This man deserves an award. Fish are beautiful and deserve to be saved not thrown away. There should be more places like this.
"You can come visit your fish anytime" 😭 So sweet!
All these people talking about a mullet, I’m here thinking it’s a fish and trying to find out where it is 😂😂
I was confused to because it is a type of fish
...it is the style of his hear lol
...or hair even - doh
Steve Ball 🤣🤣🤣
Business in the front, party in the back. That mullet is fantastic.
A lot of people think a fish is just that a fish, a creature easily abandoned at the slightest inconvenience. I'm glad there are people like this man who have a heart and know that fish are wonderful creatures, creatures that over time show great personalities. Good for this man!
My fish have personalities and they've taught me they're a lot like birds. They are feeling animals with sensitive skin. The way they're treated is disgusting.
Sushifoo hi sushifoo
Omg! You're awesome! Thanks for saving them. You're very knowledgeable. The tanks are huge and the fish look healthy and happy.
I just want half, just half of the sheer style and swag and overall flow this guy has.... Legendary mullet, amazing artisan/human, velvet voiced spokesman, eloquently gave us a master class.... geez leave some for the rest of us guy!
agree except for the moobs...hard pass on them
@@an0therdimensi0n99 HAHAHAHA
I worked at an aquarium for a long time and one of the worst parts was turning people away that wanted to donate their overgrown fish. Oscars were the biggest problem. Wish we had a guy like you around!
This dude has LITERALLY the best mullet I've ever seen. Amazing what he does, I cant even make a joke about the mullet. 🤩
That Mullet deserves to be a part of Guinness records
Big Rich has a BIG Heart. He probably spent hundreds of thousands to care for them. God bless him and I hope more will visit him and donate for his fish care and maintenance. Thank you Steve for giving us a tour. I have never seen a fish rescue as beautiful as is.
He cares for fish when SO many people behave as if they don't feel.
Im glad there's SOMEBODY out there to show some love and respect to these creatures
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love how the turtle’s just chilling on some coral, watching everyone swim by.😆
Dont think its real.
Big Rich you’re the greatest you really are bless you in all the fish and your wonderful wife for her support
You are man with a good heart. The fish are happy they saved 👍🐟
When he pulled back the curtain my mouth dropped. It is my goal to rescue fish like this someday, you are awesome!!!
Make your dreams come true! JUST Do it!
That has to be the sweetest mullet I've ever seen
That is the biggest, most glorious mullet I’ve ever seen! Great job on all the hard work!
We had a Pacu we bought from PetSmart over 15 years ago and he was approximately 2 inches then. He was almost 2 foot long and 2 inches wide when we had to donate him to a rescue.
Shame on you jessy 🤣 jk
sadly it is not just the fish hobby that pet stores and breeders sell animals that get very big and do not tell the person buying the animal it's true needs or the size they will grow to, it happens a lot in the reptile trade as well. thank you for what you do for these animals.
Well my python have a room all for himself 👌
"Micro" pigs that grow to a 100-150 lbs or so, also.
My favorite part is when he said "come into my fish room" and turns around to show those luscious locks :D
This gentleman is doing God's work
This guy is such a sweetheart. You know he’s got a big heart especially at how he talks about his wife at 9:40. So glad there’s some out out there who genuinely cares for pet fishes!
Was not expecting that hair when he turned around 😂
Brielle Dior yo fr he got a super mullet
I was shocked
Check out my red cap oranda gold fish on my channel thank you!!!😊
Ache'breake' Billy Rae would be proud!!✌ 😄..
Brielle Dior cherry on top lmao
WHAT...massive...super clean...super well kept
slotcarj I feel sorry for your English teacher. Whomever that may be, clearly failed miserably.
Very nice to see fish being treated as the great and feeling animals they are. They are not toys! Big respect to this man
The only thing bigger than Rich's mullet is his heart! 😊
Business in the front party in the back
You know I love those ten-nineties !!!
Kentucky Waterfall !!!
Thats freaking awesome! Awesome guy and much respect for what they do!!!
Yes awesome guy terrible mullet.
Awesome mullet! Ohios finest!
kudos man , I have never seen so many large specimens in one place!
Your collection is better than most zoos and aquariums.
Plz start a utube channel wud be awesome I would definitely sub you be a hit amazing tanks 👍😎
Bigrich Price respect 🐠🐟🐬🐋
Love everything this man is doing - a true fish lover... thank you Sir
It's a wonderful thing you are doing to save these fish. The spotlight is usually on dog and cat rescue. Until coming across one of your videos, it didn't dawn on me about the need for fish rescue.
you can tell that this man interacts with these fish on a whole other level, they all come up to him and just follow.....adorable!!
he feeds them
This dude is truly all business in the front and party in the back. Love it.
You're a badass. Kudos to you. We need more men and women that are willing to take on a thorough challenge to save the innocent. Once again, great job
Until I saw this I thought I was the best dad in the world!
This is an amazing effort for both you and your son.
All the fish come up and say hello! Well done.
The bad thing is this has been the same in the industry for years, I started out back in 2005....and the usual suspects still show up in the bottom of dealers tanks. (I’m in the uk)
Lovely fish.
These tanks are super super clean 😳
Thats partly because there are no or very little real plants and therefore no substrate to grow them in. And that is usually where the dirt and debris in a tank comes form.
Yannick J. That makes sense
Jennifer A check my red cap oranda gold fish on my channel thank you!!!😊
Yannick J. I'm the same way ... no substrates
NEXT GEN AQUATICS ok
Powerful mullet. Much respect.
Whoooa!! I was NOTTT READY for THAT MULLET!!! I had to tap it back to rewind!!!!😱😱
I started being a fish parent about a year about and honestly I loved bettas for a long time so I did my research on them and it's terrible what they go through. Watching this I'm inspired to run my own fish sanctuary. Of course it'll be some years from now since I'm still learning how to take care of fish, but there's need to be more people that care about fish care. There are dog rescues, cat rescues, bird rescues, reptile rescues, rodent rescues within 25 miles in the suburbs where I live, but no fish rescues. To be honest I struggled with what I wanted to do with my life and fish keeping has helped easy my mind. Starting a fish rescue feels right to me and I'm grateful the youtube algorithm took me to this video. Thank you so much for having such a big heart and showing the world your rescue ^-^
Pure AWESOMENESS!
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS I totally agree bro but I would hate to be the one who has to do all that cleaning lol
Lol, didn't consider that
+Bigrich Price Damn those are some nice tanks and fish you have sir! I wish I knew about you a couple years ago I had two oscars that reached 15 inches and out grew 55 gallon tank, do you do tours for children I would love to let my seven year old daughter see this it's amazing!
hi
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS 9806314590
I agree with this Man pet shops shouldn't sell fish that get so big without proof they would have a good home or something..
🔱 Respect for "Tryin" Sir 🔱
Love what he is doing for the fish. They need love too 👍
God bless this guy for saving them!

I keep viewing the same video over and over again once in a week at least! Man your tanks are amazing!
Bless you and the family for that incredible efforts.
Saves fish and has that mullet?
*Respect*
Fish 8/8 hair 11/10
THAT MAN IS A HERO
Iam a fish lover since childhood, catching fish from ponds mostly catfish,barbs, pencil fish etc. Mostly they use to die because of the water condition. Now that i have learnt the tricks of the trade,i have few tanks, which has sharks, dollars,tin foil etc. I was touched by watching the video the word RESCUE is a very rare thing in fish hobby, normally what i have found here is that they dump the big grown fishes into lakes or wells 🙂 it's great work that you are doing to fishes, feeding them and caring takes lot of time and energy and money of course,i would say a great work towards humanity 👍. I am ERIC JOHN from India, Bombay., hope some day,i would also love to open a fish rescue home, when i have enough place and finances to take care of them. Hats off to you brother. Take care. God bless.🙏
How can anyone dislike this man for rescuing fish. I love these types of videos. 😍
Now he is the real life AQUAMAN!!!!! FOR REAL!
Not many are capable of something so huge!
That's awesome, hats of to you. Everything looks so healthy If I was ever in the position I would do exactly this myself. Used to have Oscars that liked to be petted. Trained them to jump out of the water and take prawns from my hand lol. Great work
Wow! I love your passion to the hobby.
God Bless you, sir, for the great work you are doing for these wonderful animals. An amazing fish room! Keep up the great work!
What an absolutely kind and beautiful soul. I love Big Rich!
Amazing...love his dedication to saving all these beauties
That mullet is a legend and this man has a heart of gold!
The comets may be $0.50 when they're babies, but by the time they're that size they're hundred-dollar fish! Amazing set-ups and you're doing great work! I came across this trying to find information to advise someone on how to house their Red-tail Catfish which they're committed to keeping and taking the best care of--seeing all these amazing monsters is sure to inspire!
@Yeetonator I agree; maybe $50 once they are fully grown, but not $100 unless they have a rare appearance.
Most epic mullet I've seen since 1991
What a wonderful man.
Omg I must have died and gone to heaven... absolutely LOVE that guy and his gorgeous tanks...
4400 gallon i can swim in that thing for days
Kkk
The 2k thumbs down is mullet envy.
@Meredith Grubb that's the emperor of mullets. Damn that thing is awesome, I'm mesmerized. Awesome dude also, he he's got a heart to match his mullet.
Yes baldy head.
LMFAO!!! 😝😝😝😝
Theirs no such thing as mullet envy! lol!
@@ZYGTropicals of course there is! Everyone is envious of a mullet that epic.
Fabulous! What a huge heart this kind man has! Lucky fish.
Hello 👋how are you doing?
That 450 gallon Dutch tank is absolutely awesome!!!! LOVE THE SHAPE!!! What a beautiful set you going, , 🐠 🐠
God dammmmmmn Big Rich has the finest mullet known to mankind.
Great job lots of respect for that guy
Incredible! God bless you 🙏❤️
Big man....big heart. God bless you sir.
