I think it's safe to say that a lot of us found this video incredibly healing to watch. To watch the two of you go off into the streams discovering fish like two young boys led by wonder and curiousity, feels like the part of youtube and humanity we need to connect with more often. Keep those feet wet, and the smiles wide. This really made my morning.
I know a place just like that in the UK. It has warm water but instead of it being natural it comes from a factory. It is filled with guppies, shrimp and swarms of pea puffers. The pea puffers shoal in such huge numbers and it's honestly incredible. It's like my own special paradise that barely anyone knows about. I love going there and finding what other creatures live there. I get surprised by new species every so often. Last week I netted a celestial pearl danio. Places like this are so interesting!
There used to be a similar place in St. Helen’s, England in the 70s and 80s. Hot coolant water from a glassworks was discharged into the adjacent canal making the water warm as a bath. Fish consisted of Convict cichlids, Tilapia zilli and millions of guppies. Sadly the glassworks closed down and the water returned to its normal cold temperature. Used to love going there.
Same , same but different. In Slovakia, outside of Bratislava is oil rafinery and hot coolant water is discharged into small creek. I was never there but from stories its full of guppies and Red swordtails.
I've lived in st helens all my life round the corner from the range, where the canal is, my dad told me story's that alligators were once spotted there. Whether that's true or not i don't know, typical dad storys. The canals name is "The Hotties" which its still referred to as to this day although barely inhabitable for a carp.
Similar story in the Netherlands. In the 60s-70s guppies were released into coolant water from a powerplant and from that evolved a population of colorless giant guppies that could reach sizes of up to 12cm, but those are all gone now.
I have always wanted a heated outdoor pond that stays heated in the winter. The steam coming off the pond on a snowy winter day, watching my tiny fish still swimming even though it's below 30 out. A dream that will one day be a reality (I just need to stop renting)
15:48 this is why you don't just trust experts you always ask an explanation and that is how expert should act as well. the curious nature of being a child gets drilled out of you throughout schooling and parenting that is why you always answer every 'why' question they have
It's amazing seeing these fish in such a cold areas thriving, it brings back childhood memories, almost every suburb in my city has a creek like this and we used to go down to the local creek and catch these types of fish, the feral guppies were my favourite with all the different colours and tail shapes, Thanks for sharing, I love these types of videos from you but at the same time I know they take a lot to do in travel and expenses, the kids there must love it and it's great to see adults like you two with the same enthusiasm and excitement as I still get to this day checking out new creeks 🙂
Last year I went to a warm spring in West Virginia that had thousands of guppies that would jump out of the water if you scared them. Apparently they date back to the 1940s and their genetics are unique for being the oldest guppy lineage in the USA.
As a kid, I used to go to hot springs and some places had to cool the water down before it went into the swimming area because it was so hot coming out of the ground. Those are beautiful fish.
Second this, Cory the PNW is dotted with volcanic and manmade hot springs. I also think you should definitely 😂 drill for hot water under your pond and have one in your yard.
Greetings from Ukraine! The location looks very cool! There is a place in Ukraine where many guppies live. There are sewage treatment plants. And there is always warm water. Specimens there grow very large.
It’s crazy how you always bring me back being aquarium hobbyist again. Now this time I’ll make a pond. And watch the growth last time I was lucky to get off springs from mollies, guppies and platies. I lost them and my passion due to my filters leaked and all the water from aquarium flooded out😢
The intro is a falsehood you have a special breed in northern europe. those guys that go to things like scouts or giro when you are in belgium and those guys where shorts in the winter. they are a special breed
What an amazing video! I always love it when you put the camera under water . Why do the fish keep surprising me?? I don't know. Good job and congratulations on the recent milestone! It's well deserved . I'm glad to see you a bit more chipper as of late. For a while there , it was obvious you were a little out of sorts on your direction. I'm glad you've found it.
*What was your favorite fish that Cory and Chris found? To see more of Cory catching aquarium fish in the wild, check out this video:* th-cam.com/video/H2K18nZeR2w/w-d-xo.html
Off of US 41, South of Naples Florida in the back canals running just outside the preserve. There's 3 inch sailfin mollies, guppies, cloud minnows, tiger oscars, cichlids, and other tropical species I don't recognize. It's brackish water at a point so also has blue crabs, mullet, snapper, etc. I grew up swimming and enjoying the thriving life there. The water is crystal clear and great during summer. Beware, there are plenty of gators that are in the water. But growing up around them, you kind of know your place and when to take a break from the water. Go with a local so can tell you when and where it's safe to tread. Bubbles are markers that should be respected and kept at a safe distance. hahaha
17:00 Kids coming to take things is cool, so long as they know these fish do not belong there and so they cannot just go and dump them out somewhere else
There was a power station in the UK that had a warm water run off from the cooling towers where somebody introduced guppies, they seemed to adapt to staying in the area where the temperature suited them best.
I think the blue on the mollies is due to crossing with Limia P, you can see it in the dark lips, yellow ring or full yellow with black outline tail pattern. I think i even saw some traits of humpback Limia with the vertical stripes.
This video literally made my day!!!❤ Watching and listening to Cory and Chris exploring and catching fish was so nostalgic! Thanks for bringing us along! I felt like I was there with you, just magical! ❤❤
That was so awesome to watch!! My favorite were the mollies with the orange tipped tail! Loved seeing all the fish coming up to get food from your hand. Kind of how we feed our guppies at home. They are super tame and just love to nibble on our hands and arms :)
It's no secret, in one of his videos Chris reveals the location. But I don't know which video it was exactly, because he had made several about this creek.@@agathacathartese7041
Ah! Chris once kindly shared the location of wild tiger shrimp with me c. mariae (here in China) - I went to go and see them and they're still there, still thriving!
At 10:08 that orange thing that swims across the screen looks to have the colors of an ender but the body shape of either a limia or molly, that is if its not some kinda tetra. I would love to study the rare hybrids in their.
Tilapia, really? OMG, I grew up there (right now I live about 100 km south), not knowing about it. When I realised it, I always hoped that this will never happen, I thought this would be the worst case and they would wipe out everything. I know a little bit about different Tilapia as I did some Aquaponics. Man, they breed, eat and grow like crazy and survive under very hard condicions. I´m so glad they don´t make it in cold water...
@@christinezwirtes148 yes its the Gillbach, with the source at Bergheim. They found Oreochromis niloticus and mosambicus hybrids there, not your typical aquarium fish, apparently its an aquaculture strain, like you mentioned.
What an amazing, incredibly interesting video. Made me think what if you could go to a place like that and net your own fish. Not knowing what exactly you may catch for your aquarium. Would be so much fun. Thanks for the video.
- 20:45 I think you were right about the man in the van. He must be taking the colorful cherry shrimp and pretty fishes to sell, that's why they are no longer in those waters. I guess if they're invasive, it shouldn't matter, right !? Idk. 🤷🏽♀️
@@AquariumCoop They really stood out to me because blue and yellow are my favorite colors in fish and I think mollies are really underrated compared to other livebearers like swordtails and guppies. A blue and yellow lyretail Molly would be really something!
This warm water German coal mine effluent is an interesting experiment of aquarium livestock in natural conditions to see how colour, size and species evolve. The crayfish are benefitting nicely but too bad they just proliferate into colder waters.
It's great , but what about the same range of temperature in the aquarium ??! Or the specific water quality and mineral needed to recreate their natural habitat ??!
it looks so nice, i would like to make a big experiment and see whats is the most sucesful fish from petshops in a place like that :D like discus, frontosas etc xD
This is literally exactly what I needed today. So amazing to see these beautiful fish in such an unusual place. Those jewel cichlids really caught my eye. Thanks for posting Cory.

Right now there's a place under a highway in Washington DC that has a few dozen tilapia because of a nearby power plant.
Cory, this was a wonderful video! Like two kids discovering new fish for the first time. Loved every moment. Thank you
It was so fun for it to be that warm in the water and so freezing cold outside.
I could play here all day! Just amazing how all these species are not only surviving but thriving as well.

What an adventure! Nothing better and more exiting than having a field day in the wild and finding cool things 😁
Thanks for taking us along on this adventure!

The density of life in that hot spring is crazy!

I've never been, I should research it and go.

even if they dumb it somewhere else, no chance a tropic fish can live past winter in germany.
there are countless places in germany where tropical fish have established themselves over decades. @@onlyhc7792
@@onlyhc7792 Yeah, these invasives are not a problem as it's just this area they can ever occupy.
