      When I found this channel when he posted the 2nd overall episode, I figured there was nothing to it. I'm so hooked at this point and fascinated by the accomplishment, the amount of time/money involved, and the maintenance. The amount of diverse wildlife is amazing, and the birds are spectacular. Best channel I just happened by and always looking for that next episode!
      The prawns are crazy as well and never heard of the ones he's talking about, but it makes total sense to have that breed since they do not burrow. They will be fine food for the big bass.

      @@crazkurtz While it is true that the pond is human maintained, if people hadn't moved in then this area would likely still host many ponds; some small and seasonal and some large that last all year round. However with people moving in those ponds have disappeared and the natural predators have moved on. With this maintained pond it can reintroduce some of those predators into the ecosystem and the finished product would be a self-sustaining ecosystem with a human to make sure it stays in balance all year long. Admirable in my opinion.

    I think your pawn project is an excellent idea, its also going to make a great learning experience for you. Keep a coyote decoy by your pawn pond to scare herons and predatory water birds. Prawns are valuable and very tasty, you don't want them all gobbled up before you get a chance to harvest. Laser pointers also terrify birds as well, they do work.

      ​@@mariatorres9789 they've talked about putting plants in but they need to be extremely careful to pick species of plant that won't propagate too quickly and overgrow everything. If you're not careful and you get uncontrollable duckweed or lily pads, the growth can get so thick that it chokes off the light and kills everything in the pond including the fish.

      @@ryanlee6147 ...I think it shows a mindset difference between a fish in the wild and a tank fish. Moby knows his meals are coming and there is no competition whatsoever. He likes his baitfish. Give him something else and he plays with his food, then becomes disinterested.

    I catch them in my backyard river in Australian ❤ also love the videos keep on going👍
    Edit: you might need a bit more of the prawns later down the line because the bass will destroy them and they won't breed, you also sould get some abit older so they don't get eaten by bait fish, in Australia we use them to catch barramundi so the bass will eat all of them because there aggressive 😊

      Yes agreed - they look a lot like Australian northern freshwater prawns - sometimes called 'Charlies' by the locals in the Northern Territory. They can grow to an enormous size - I have seen them up to 60cm (two feet) long, including the claws. Very good eating, especially the smaller ones, but need to be boiled in slaty water.

  • @gcrauwels941
    @gcrauwels941 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Those prawns are very similar to what I used to catch in the canals in Florida. A native species called Macrobrachium carcinus, common name 'big claw river shrimp' are brown in color. I suspect the species you have is M. rosenbergii, which is farmed around the World. I kept M. carcinus in fishtanks, and found they are highly aggressive towards anything that gets too close to their hideout, including crayfish. Pond is coming along nicely.

    I think it depends on the type of crayfish (some do and some don't dig holes) but it's probably for the best you went with the prawns so you don't introduce an invasive species by accident to your area. Also, you might encourage ducks to nest in that duck house if you put some straw in it.

    WOW you have done an absolutely amazing job and all your workers , drivers, omg just too many to mention it is just so incredible the amount of wildlife, birds critters, you name it you have got it.
    I will keep watching for more projects, I have watched , crimson oak pond, the shrimp pond , I think you and your family are blessed with the amount of fauna that you get , I live in Glasgow, Scotland the only thing we ever see is the odd fox, or kestrel when it's hovering in the sky waiting to dive for meal .
    Thank you for an enjoyable couple of hours watching.
