- We found an abandoned pond in Virginia that had tons of fish suffering in what can only be described as a black mud puddle.

Probably some of the rude comments are of those who can’t appreciate the size or beauty well through a video. It looks gorgeous! And I’m sure even more in person. Great on you guys to have taken those fishies off to a better life.
The new homeowners did a great thing to have the fish rescued ❤ The previous home owners should be ashamed of themselves!
What a great resolution for everyone involved! Those fish get upgraded to the Cadillac of ponds, you get gorgeous Koi, and you saved 28 fish lives. Love how it all came together. Good luck managing your impending MPS! lol
Thanks for blasting those idiots in the comments. Sometimes the trolls need to be put in their place. Also hats off to the girl who reached out about the fish. She could just killed them all and not tell anyone. But she cared enough to help out the fish in need. Great video!
Love your pond and good on you guys for putting rescue fish in there. I would have expected no less with all the amazing cat rescuing that Lisa is doing. You guys should get nothing but praise for all you're doing!!
The fish look so much happier.......that's all that counts for everyone 🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🐳🦈
It's AWESOME, The new homeowner deffinately did the right thing.
Due to illness my pond has fell into disrepair, fortunately, no fish were lost. This stunning pond is giving me the motivation next spring to bring it back to life, not as great as yours but I’m definitely giving it a go. I love it.
There's an amazing video from Sacramento Koi called "What It's Like to Buy Koi in Japan" and you might be able to identify your other two koi from the tons they show in that video!
The fish look totally happy in their new home, those 4 koi are stunning. (Great names as well) great rescue story. Ignore all the negative comments they are not worth your energy. Looking forward to seeing your pond mature with some time. 😊
Koi are incredible, and remarkably intelligent fish. Mine were trained to swim into my palm when I put my hand in the water, and were perfectly calm when picked up to examine them. They were delighted to eat pellets from my fingers, and seemed to actively enjoy interacting with humans. Or, more likely, they just wanted food, but it works out the same in the end. Congratulations on a lovely pond and some beautiful fish.
It makes my heart feel so good that your pond fish are rescues! I bet they are so happy being in a fresh new pond! And the little ones are especially precious! 🥰🐠
Lovely pond! Shout out to the couple who were thoughtful enough to rehome these beautiful creatures. 🐠🩵🙌
I think your pond is beautiful regardless. And YES the woman and her fiance did the RIGHT thing by having them rescued. Kudos to you for taking them. The red and whites/silver are gorgeous.
The ponds plants and nitrifying bacteria must be amazing keeping those fish alive in that nasty pond. They are huge, can’t believe how good they looked. Shows how a good older pond can do it’s thing. Granted they probably needed to vacuum it out at some point, bet in it’s hay day it was a very nice!
What a great start. Getting to watch the pond videos all at once is great. Still wish we weren't absent for so long and missed this as it was happening. Just like the inspiration you guys gave us at the beginning of our journey you have now revived that aqua fever lol. You guys are great keep doing what you're doing!!
Moved to Springfield, Mo in 2003, put in what I thought was a small pond, appx 8,000 gals. Pond was 5 feet at deepest. Just move and sold the house. Arranged for the Koi to have new home before we left. Worked with AquaScape. The better half said no more fish. I will continue to try to set up aquarium in the future. Great job on rescue.
I am absolutely 100% jealous . What a beautiful pond. So happy you guys were able to rescue fish as well to put in it they are just as beautiful as the pond itself.
I wouldn't worry about the haters. There's always going to be users that like to shitpost. I'd take it with a grain of salt. Most of us know you've got a great handle on things and this channel has been instrumental in helping so many people with their tanks, myself included. The one thing to remember is that responding to shitposters is what they want.
Todays words of wisdom from the man: Grow up, it´s not that hard!" I could NOT agree more! Have a beautifull day out there folks and keep em swiming!
YAASS POND #2 and CALLING OUT HATERS! 👏👏👏 i am here for this! also you sir are living my dream im so jealous
I love the pond! I had a little goldfish pond in my backyard growing up. I used to stick my finger in and let the goldfish “kiss” me. Lovely tank!! I hope the joy of fishkeeping can overrule the negative feelings you expressed.
This was so amazing. The fish must be so happy and hell with whoever just left the fishes like that!!! smh.....
Awesome video, great work rescuing the fish! I’m glad the lady cared enough to call someone to get the fish. She obviously cared about them even if she isn’t interested in them! Good work to everyone involved! Thanks for the amazing videos and your new fish are beautiful!
Yeah, look at those nice Koi and goldfish! So much happier now, and so are you. It turned out so much better for all three parties (Fishes, new homeowner that didn't want to be a fish-pond owner and you). Good video, man, I hope you'll read (or hear about) this and all other positive comments that will flood this comment section ;-)
I would ignore the negative comments. Pointing them out just gives them some twisted satisfaction. I love that you rescued these fish! 👏
Yes I agree, just ignore them, don't give them a second of your time especially in your videos. Love your pond and the fish are very cool 🐠
Hey, kudos to you for taking the fish, and kudos to the owner for finding someone who would appreciate the fish
Also, that powerball would let you do that 5 acre pond!
Love this. When we moved into our home 4 years ago, we discovered that someone had filled in a cement pond. After a lot of digging and a new liner, we have a ~900 gal pond. Started off with some goldfish, but have added koi into the mix, too. Our 2 biggest koi are also rescues we got lined up with through Petco. Watching them swim about is so satisfying.
I really felt you when you uttered the phrase "MPS"! The struggle is real!
Looking fabulous m8, the Koi look amazing, only thing missing is a bench for you and the wife to perch and view.
The pond is splendid for the Koi and it looks great!
How peaceful sounding and looking
Amazing rescue John what you and Lisa do for animal's is amazing your both great . And dont waste your time replying to haters you have some amazing people in your community.
I am moved. Thanks for doing this !
I think it looks great. Sorry for the haters who just wish they had a pond as nice as yours. Bravo!!
I think it looks great! Good on you for getting them a new home 😊
Your pond is stunning. Thank you-
Naysayers need to see and say negativity to feel validated or seen. This pond and situation is a dream come true and is the cherry on top of a long growing journey to your property. Cheers!!!!!!
Aka Matsuba big red one! Great pond so much surface area…
My husband would love a pond like that. Some people are just toxic. That pond is awesome. ❤
I love the pond! And John's blunt reply to the comments! Keep up the great work.
John don't be so upset regarding the person and his reply to your pond, it's beautiful and even way better then what the koi had. You and Lisa are beautiful people with the rescues of animals, if they can speak they'll thank you and so do we!
love the pond! don't let the haters get you down, focus on the positive!
Real fish rescue unlike others. Good job.
I think that pond is beautiful and a great size. I would love to have a pond...one day..for now I will enjoy yours

That seems like a fine amount of fish for your pond.
hi cutest couple of the fish world! ... hey John you really dont have to explain your self to local haters... dont fall in that trap. make your videos and enjoy your life. thank you guys for sharing this beautiful moments with us!
Kudos to the young homeowners and to you for rescuing the fish to stock your pond. How could anyone be negative about that.
Great outcome. Pond is looking good!
I love this pond so much. Completely epic, and I hope I can get something this cool one day.
Love this so incredibly much!!!
I'm sure the fish are very happy to move to such a beautiful pond. I love your pond and the fish look so happy and energised in their new home!
Very cool opportunity.
that pond and fish looks really gorgeous
I think that pond is fantastic John I wish I could have a pond like you guys. Anyway another great video John and Lisa
Hi John and Lisa I love you pond and fish pond and fish are beautiful
I love it! It's absolutely beautiful. Those fish koi are magnificent.
Cracking Fish there, what a Result! 👍
Looks amazing! I LOVE your response to the idiots in the comments too 😃 I'm here for another pond build!
This video make me so happy. So happy
great rescue couldnt of planned it any better pond ond fish look amazing
beautiful pond john
Much success to you
John don't worry about what other people say about you, they are just mad they don't have a beautiful pond with fish .I would not give them any time or thoughts. 😊.much love from North Carolina love and hugs.
Thank you. I love them all, down to the tiny one😃Great pond.
That’s awesome. We use live plants now and we’re never going back!
The big red koi is called a Benigoi, I think.... The fourth koi might be an Asagi, only lacking the red underneath?? 😊😊 I really love my koi!!! Here in Norway they are inside for the winter! 😅😅 You must remember yours came from muddy to clear water..... That makes them skittish. I found that adding some floating plants helps their confidence! 😊😊 Enjoy your pond, it is gorgeous!!! ❤❤
Looks fantastic John 👍🏻
Beautiful!! Just a side note: I doubt you would do this, but a friend had a prized koi pond and their groundskeeper applied something to their lawn without protecting the pond - all died quickly. 😢. As for 'evil' people - let's not say that the previous folks were the bad guys either. They may have been elderly and couldn't take care of them as well as they used to. Someone's grandkids might watch this someday, and it will break their hearts. Somebody clearly cared for them at one time - it was a beautiful setup. No bad guys, just lucky folks able to help others at just the right time!
I don't have a pond but do have two aquariums. Even I get really upset when a fish dies. (white cloud mountain minnows and platties oh and one zebra danio). Survivor of six.
John, you are correct. When people make nasty comments they have a miserable life.
Ignore them. I love your pond!! I wish I had one. Having a pond is a lifelong dream of mind as well. Please keep sharing your pond with us. I enjoy seeing it!! Blessings to you and Lisa. From Gina
A success story! Great rescue!
John is read. The swallow part is infacht to small , as the deep part. But for now it is the right solution for the fish to get good with there new home. I love it that you rescue these poor fish❤❤❤
Man I literally take zero time to comment on anything but your commentary at the end of the video about the bad apples out there had me rolling 😅
Super awesome project!!! A shout out to the young couple who sought adopters for the fish ❤
Pond looks great and so do the fish!
Absolutely stunning!
The shallow part seems like it might be a great place to put some aquatic plants in!
That gray and white koi is just beautiful. All of the fish are, but his colors are just so dramatic. I'm glad that the new homeowner found someone who wanted the fish, and extremely glad that it was you and Lisa.
I really like your pond. I like the different depths in the water. I’m sorry the lady was left with a really bad situation. I would love that pond she got but I’ve got a smaller pond myself. I’m jealous that you have some koi fish because I only have gold fish in my pond.
Way to go, John! It looks fantastic. Those fish are so fortunate you found them. Looks like someone in there was having babies!
Thank u new homeowner. For saving these incredible creatures. They r living amazing beings. I'm so impressed. Great job, ALL OF U!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good on you 🐟🐟🐟
Great job John looks great😊
That’s just awesome dude!!!!!
The pond looks amazing!
I love it when John snaps back! 😂😂😂😂😂
The pond is great! The fish are beautiful! Can't wait to see MPS kick into high gear :)
Good for the new homeowner for being a caring person! I want them as neighbors!!
That was a great thing you did, rescuing 28 fish that would maybe have died otherwise. I love the way you told off that person from the comment section,he deserved it! 🤭
I didn't know KG Tropicals was in NC!!! Another North Carolinian here, I'm glad you were able to give those fish a new home. The pond looks fantastic, and it will look even better when the plants fill in! I love how crystal clear that water is!!!
Quick question. Do you have to cycle a pond like you do an aquarium? It may be a stupid question, but I've never heard or seen anyone mention it, so I thought I would ask. I've always wanted a pond, unfortunately, I'm not where I can set one up right now...
I think that pond is a fantastic size to be right by the house like that.
Hello John and Lisa, the pond is simply beautiful and the rescue fish are gorgeous. I love everything in it. ❤
Much love from Milford Indiana!
The kids who bought that home are amazing for finding those fish a new home 😊
Congratulations John and Lisa❤❤❤
Lovely fish and fantastic pond, gave me a few ideas for mine, when I get round to building it.
Great job to you both.
Love the pond can't wait to buy my own home and build a koi pond
Looks amazing. The fish look happy
