What you guys don't know or understand (because I had to delete some rude comments) is that this video was done when reaper got back to the rescue. We already had plans for the fish and reaper didn't ask me for any. So at this time I didn't know he wanted any. He told me that if I didn't want any of the fish that he'd take whatever. I had not seen his video untill the next day. I'm not being rude to reaper. And for the comment about reaper not getting paid that I should give reaper all the fish he asks for. He does get paid. I let him use the rescue for his content to make vids. He helps me while he's here doing a video. He makes 100 percent of the money from the second channel. He keeps. Sheesh. 100 percent of the money I make I donate to the rescue to pay bills. So before passing judgment. Try to know all the parameters.
I didn't know about any of the rude comments, shame on them for being that way. I agree with you, if Reaper wanted them that bad he should've spoke up when he got back from the rescue. I know we don't see everything that goes on, that's why I almost didn't say anything. You know me, I'm never nasty on here, I always try to be complamentative and positive on here for years now. But I was just wondering why and I appreciate you answering me. Try not to let the trolls on here get you down. And as always, stay fishy my friends!!😘🤗😁
Hey Rich. First, the drone footage was really cool! Second, you should seriously look into getting glasses. Think of how much more you'll enjoy ALL of your fish if you can see them better! Finally, I know you find the negative comments annoying to deal with but try to just ignore them/delete them. You're not going to stop getting them. If only 1% of the people commenting are jerks, that still ads up to a lot of comments as you get more popular and those people aren't going to go away. Or listen to reason. Or care about your explanations. Or be regular channel viewers who would know those things. Trolls will be trolls, forget them, and don't ever feel that you owe them an explanation. Keep on doing the great work you are getting done with Tracy, your family, the channels, and the rescue.
Don’t pay no attention to it rich, they are just trying to get ya all mad looking like a bad person! Communication is key maybe that’s what was lacking yk hell reaper should of put a sticky note or kept bugging saying hey I want these fish 🤷🏻♂️ thanks for the video ❤
@@davidsmith8997 i appreciate Rich explaining it to me cuz if you watch the behind the scenes Reaper made a big deal about wanting those glass cats among other fish, which makes rich kinda look bad cuz his very next video he's putting them in his tank. But come to find out Reaper didn't even say he wanted them so rich needs to either tell Reaper to speak up when he mentions how much he said he likes a fish that way rich can let us know, that watch both channels, they're already spoken for or whatever maybe...I don't know. I just know that's why I was confused on why he didn't give any to him. I love them all and I've been a fan for a while now and us nosey women wanna know.😄
Once again... people assuming they know what goes on between you and Reaper and sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. Some people aren't happy unless they are trying to cause a problem between friends and family.
Josh or Rich….have you thought of running co-op pre filter sponges on your canisters…I think it will help a lot …it would prevent them from getting clogged intakes and help it process the water better with out filling it up as quick with crap👍
Wow what a great video ! Tour of the backyard, the ponds, saw the paddlefish, the tank in the livingroom, cool fish added to it and the dining room tour. Loved it all .
Curious..... is there a way to clear up the natural pond? It doesn't get featured much which is understandable since you can't see anything really, but it be cool to get a good look sometime. Really enjoying the clarity of the Koi pond, Shame it's so cold coz it would be so relaxing to just sit by the pond & watch the fish (even tho they're dormant just now) & it would be great for Tracy to sit out, watch her babies & get some fresh air. Even tho im a total stranger, I really feel like ive got to know you & the family though the channel, and Tracy is always in my thoughts. Sending her my love. Xxxxx
Good Morning!! 💙💚 We can see so much in the back pond!! Awesome! There's the rescue koi, hi lovelies!! 💙 "Say Hi Rich" 😂 That part!! And you DID too!! Ha! The Shaq koi babies look stunning in that light! Wow! Community tank is boomin! Definitely added some light to it! The barbs are gorgeous! SHRIMP TANK!! YAY!! 😁 Excited to see where everyone ends up ♡ Thank you for all the peeks Big Rich!! Hi Jerry!! Sending love and hugs! Happy Monday OFR fam! What a fun video today! 💌🦈💌🦈💌
Here's an idea I used to use tape it got nasty and over the years I'm talking like 40 years worth of dealing with aquariums the best thing I found to put the back on like your blue backing you were talking about was either the KY jelly I know it sounds funny but you put that out all over the back and then use one of those wedgies to smooth it out and it gives this bubble effect and coming up the back and that backing will not come off no matter how hard you try unless you literally peel it off but then you have to clean it of course but this is what I've learned through the years like I said use your KY jelly smeared all over the back and then you press that you're backing on it will stick there forever I hope this helpful have blessed holidays dear
I believe a small piece of clear polarized film on the camera lens or maybe even film through the eye piece of polarized glasses would get rid of the glare when filming on surface..under $10
Siamese algae eaters will eat all the blak beard algae or keep it in check. They also eat green hair algae. Get out what you can to start they'll do the rest. Younger one's tend to eat more. They are less likely when the are older. Always worked for me.
Those little African Dwarf Frogs are super fun to keep. I have two super old ones and they're going and going and going like the Energizer Bunny Frogs!
06:37 - I think either you or Josh mentioned possibly moving the Cichlids out of the cube tank (between the Frontosa Tank and the Sturgeon/Goldfish Tank). Would that tank work for your fancy goldfish? It doesn't have as large a footprint, but goldfish aren't territorial, and the fancy (double-tailed) varieties aren't very good swimmers. 14:04 - Looks like a male Cherry Barb. 14:12 - Buenos Aires Tetra.
I use Siamese Algae Eaters or Flying Fox in my tanks for black hair algae. They'll gobble that right up. There is so much in there if you get two they'll be so preoccupied with taking care of the hair algae I can't see them bothering your other fish. I love them
Hey Rich I didn’t get a great look at your betta but does he look a bit on the bloated heavy side? If so try some frozen peas cook them peel them feed it to him 👍🏻Great video.
Peas aren't good for bettas. Bettas are carnivores and peas can cause them digestive issues and even death. Daphnia is better to give bettas. I know this from unfortunate experience.
I have used Florish Excel to help fight the Black Hair Algea in my planted tank. It won't really kill it off but it definitely stops it from growing more. And it makes the plants grow like crazy. Best of luck 👍
Shocked you are not keeping the Anostomus Anostomus (striped headstander/pencil fish). Those are pretty hard to come by these days. I am in Texas or I would offer to buy it.
Are there any other wierd cool fish like paddlefish that grow big that could also be put in the pond? and how long will it take for the paddlefish and sturgeons to get massive.... lets say 4 foot long. One last question is there any fish you haven't owned that you really want (not including Asian Arowana)
Good morning Big Rich... I love the tank in the house... it's so active and your buenos aires tetra are so nice. Mine are mean little brats lol. Also that looks like a female betta and the bloating may be constipation or she could be egg bound depending on her age. I would try some frozen or freeze dried daphnia at first. If you see she is lethargic having trouble getting to the top you may need to move her to a smaller tank. I've had so many bettas over the last 20 years... she looks like one of My girls I had a few years ago. Hope everyone has a great day! SFMF #TeamTracy ❤️
Water changes an there won't be black algae issues... It could be too much lighting as the cause also. 48 years of fish keeping. I almost know something. I think.
We already donated the ones we just rescued to a new aquarium being built in michigan. They will be going into a huge koi pond at the public aquarium when it gets ready for them. For now there in this pond. It will never clear up completly as it's a mud bottom pond
@@ohio-fish-rescue it’s amazing, the hard work to rescue those koi. You never see the koi leave, but they must leave as the numbers going in after rescues is huge!
You don’t have to bring any attention to anything negative. God Bless you I now along with others what you do for this hobby as people call it but you do so much for these fish you take a lot of your time to help fish give fish a better life. I’m super proud of you an everyone at OFR. But recently Reaper showed the back pond one day in his video I’m just curious that day the back pond was partly frozen it appeared to me in the frozen ice that fish looked frozen in ice they appeared to not move they looked frozen 🥶 What happens in the winter with fish in out doors do they freeze how do they survive the harsh cold winter? Thank You sincerely appreciate everything you do for fish GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HOPE EVERYONE AT OFR HAVE HAPPY HOLIDAYS
The top wTer freezes the fish do not . That pond is 8 feet deep. And stays above 45 degrees all year round. The fish are goninto a hibernation type thing :)
Josh can say that he’s the only god father of fish that had his butt slapped by the legend the hall of famer SHAQ lol 😂 Now that’s something to brag about lol 😂
Good morning fishy friends!! If that carpet could talk….🐅😴🤣🤪😳🫣😆 would love to hear the story on how you acquired carpet. Good job Jerry!!! 🎉 Those “stolen” fish look amazing in the dining room tank 😊 definitely added some much needed color. Big Rich- thank you for deleting & delegating comments, above all, thank you for being you & keeping OFR going. I know you & Reaper have good communication, as seen before in previous videos. Josh- someone might to a pro bono job to remove the phone from hand to net fish faster 😂😂 jk you don good

I absolutely love your backyard! Beautiful property Rich! ❤
Oh loved this Rich. Especially your front tanks. I love the glass fish 🐠 and now the tanks much more colourful

Boy you can work that drone!!! I always hit something!!!😂
The drone part was the best!, also loved seeing the new add to your house aquarium.
I know!! I wish I could work a drone like that!! Rich is a professional!!!😄
Good morning Big Rich.
Thank you for taking the time to do up this vlog. Enjoy your day.
Play safe have fun.

Man got some serious skills with that drone 🤝🤝

What was that big yellow and black fish at the 6:25 mark? Was that a bichir or sturgeon? He was beautiful!!!
A great video.

Yes thats where we're planning g on putting them :)
What size will the sturgeon have to be before it can go in the pond?
Next summer :)
Sweet video. Love me some paddle fish
I use Siamese Algae Eaters or Flying Fox in my tanks for black hair algae. They'll gobble that right up. There is so much in there if you get two they'll be so preoccupied with taking care of the hair algae I can't see them bothering your other fish. I love them
What tank is the dolphin fish in?
Hey Rich I didn’t get a great look at your betta but does he look a bit on the bloated heavy side? If so try some frozen peas cook them peel them feed it to him 👍🏻Great video.
Ok will do
I noticed that too
Peas aren't good for bettas. Bettas are carnivores and peas can cause them digestive issues and even death. Daphnia is better to give bettas. I know this from unfortunate experience.
Jerry reminds me of the old butler in the first Tomb Raider games 😂😂
Lol
You should give Reaper a glass cat and a koolie(sp) loach. He was really excited about them on the rescue.
He has 15 loaches.
Nobody is excited about koolie loaches because they disappear the minute you put them in the tank! 😆
@@davidsmith8997 his wife likes them, maybe that's why, you know the saying...... Happy wife, happy life😘😅
Glass cats need to be in groups not alone.
@@yumafrank563 be nice, no ugliness here please.
Love the voice over by the pond 👍🏼 for the first minute there I was like how on earth is big rich filming this right now 😂
Lol. It was video. Audio track 1 for the water sound. Then audio track 2 for the voice over :)
Me too. I was baffled at first!
Jerry's full o'beans today :) I'm in love with that elephant nose
Lol yes Everyone that comes here says everything is so much bigger in person than it shows on the videos
I have used Florish Excel to help fight the Black Hair Algea in my planted tank. It won't really kill it off but it definitely stops it from growing more. And it makes the plants grow like crazy. Best of luck 👍
Love the drone footage! 😍😍
I like those towers. Get small fish that move up and down. Should be cool. The blue pops 👍
I know!! They're awesome!! I thing angel fish would look amazing in them. 😍 not sure if they move up and down tho.🤔
Great video! I really enjoy the drone footage
Brightened it right up😊
Does a betta fish even do well in that sorta tank? lots of top dwellers and bigger fish
Love the fancy gold fish hi from CT
Great video rich 👍🐟👊💯
throw some snails in that tank it should help keep the cleaning of the algae issues
I haven't seen a Malabar Danio since my youth when I kept them.
The Tyson carpets seen some crazy times. Hilariously awesome!
What Paddlefish eat?
Shocked you are not keeping the Anostomus Anostomus (striped headstander/pencil fish). Those are pretty hard to come by these days. I am in Texas or I would offer to buy it.

Sturgeons, I would love to have snakeheads
I think Florida Flag fish will eat the dark algae.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your whole family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

Thanks. She's swimming around now. I think it. Was the stress of moving
@@ohio-fish-rescue oohhh I didn't see that she was one of the new babies. ❤️
How come you haven’t put the sturgeon together?
1 is 8 inches the other is 30 inches
Why not move the sturgeon to the outside pond with the koi and paddlefish
Jerry comes from reapers fim school , 🤣😂, finger tip over the lens.
add some Florida Flagfish, Amano Shrimp for the BBA
Hillstream loaches are hell on black algae.
Water changes an there won't be black algae issues... It could be too much lighting as the cause also. 48 years of fish keeping. I almost know something. I think.
Those little red fish are cherry barbs. You have quite a few.
I never knew there was Koi in the back back pond,thought it was a native pond. But you never saw the fish.
Last big koi rescue went in there
@@ianolbison1363 they need to sell some of the Koi to pay for Rescue activity, the numbers are crazy right now.

Down FL, have to feed all year! Just slightly less!
😁👍
❤️❤️💚💚👍👍
Sure nice of them to blow all those leaves and sticks on your yard .
Lol right
Those neon fish are banned in the UK because they’re genetically modified. They look unreal !
#TeamTracy
Then loaches should take care of that Algee xx

Don't know
Good vid rich eye sight not that bad mate 2 see that tiny neon tetra in that tank 💯💪
