Hope everyone has a great day!

I have to say, this channel is totally not what I expected, having seen it on TikTok. This is so much more calm, informative and scientifically accurate than my biases would have assumed! I love seeing eel cared for like this, and--coming from an area where sturgeon are a point of pride for us, it's very nice to see them actually thriving in proper water conditions for the first time on KZfaq! You're awesome, keep it chill and keep it coming.

That's what you're missing in your pond a tire and a shopping cart to make it even more realistic. 😂 And yeah that's how the rivers look like around here in IN. Awesome video today.

Always awesome to see the pit in proper wide-screen format! Great video.

Chilling in a shallow and dark eel pot must be one of the best feelings. Just being alone with a dim light looking at your little creatures swimming around looks like one hell of an experience 👍

I just want to say that the videos of your fish make my days so much better. They calm me down when I'm overwhelmed. My jam is plants and insects, and I haven't given fish as much thought. But I have become fascinated by these dudes because of you.

Get a few jingle bells to tie to a string. They will make a distinctive noise when jostled underwater. Drop them in and jangle them just before you drop pellets in/hand feed, and they'll learn to associate the sound with feeding time. You'll see distinctive behavior changes associated with the noise after a couple of weeks, at most.

White cloud Mountain minnows would be a cool schooling fish to add. They can tolerate cold water but i think the eels might munch them

This is a childhood dream of mine. Very cool. Weird how in the wild, albino is almost a death sentence, but in the captive market, it's a blessing.

I’m with Catherine D, the videos make my day and I proud to be an African Cichlid keeper with the goal of one day caring for an eel. 💜

Sturgeon are such cool fish, I was fascinated by them as a kid.

Amazing update brother. Can’t wait for all the new fishes to arrive

Never been a fish guy but this is my kind of thing. Inpressive wirhout being flashy with animals that people do not immediately think of. Mans got his own interwctive aquarium.

Babe wake up, new eel pit video just dropped Edited my dang autocorrect

God, you are living the dream of baby Callous Klaus, stay winning king

Awesome! Always cool to see what you and your animals are up to.

Okay now I'm invested! You must install waterproof underwater cameras, flood the place, and begin the "Adventures In The Eel Pit" Starring Crunchwrap Supreme, Eely Dan....

Before this video I never thought of cold water exotics can’t wait to see where this goes!

LOVE all their names

I really enjoy your videos

Did they originally use the cistern for drinking water or to water the garden during droughts? I think what you’re doing is so cool, keep it up! My buddy growing up found a spring fed fountain at one of his neighbors house, offered to clean it up and he stocked it with all the trophy fish he caught fishing the local creeks. The more I think about it, I’m surprised a Herron never found it

Lmao just casually getting bitten by a snake. Love all the work you do, my dude!

Love this set up. Clean and big enough great job ! Keep it up

Love see the pit and herping! Very cool!

that catfish is so cute :)

When he went under in stream I realized the eel pit is pretty accurate, especially the gravel (which I’m sure he collected from one of those streams)

great vid!!! i like the pit more!! ❤❤❤

I want a burbit so bad lol keep up the great work! Cant wair to see the new fish

This mas is living his life

Radical, dude. You're killing (k-eel-ing?) it with that setup, bro. Have fun in Florida, and don't let Florida Man catch you!

I love your eel pit it has inspired me to start my own one when i grow up and live in my own house because my friend and I love fish and we have come up with the idea to live in separate houses on the same property and have this big building with all types of fish and i would love to have some diamond sturgeons they are so beautiful creatures and i love the idea of swimming with them bc at my house theres a pond/river thing and i go swimming down there with eels pretty cool tho and pls keep up the good work i really do love it it is so amazing also i love the new catfish super cute

Bro these fishes are literally your friends. You can tell they love you they’re like “omg our human is in here with us :0000” COULDNT help but stare at you ahhahahahahahaha sooo cute

Eely Dan - love it!

Great looking fish Jones is dope stocked my fishing pond thru them

Best pond channel imo!

Why is this the most enthralling media Ive ever seen

Looking forward to next week's!

Shoutout to that little Miami bass island clip lol. Love seeing a local guy make good content!

You should put some cover for the channel cat to keep his anxiety low! Beautiful setups :)

On today's episode of: The Coolest Man in the Midwest!

Loving the longer form videos my dude.

Love the long form content keep it up

Love watching these videos

Name the albino cat burrito extreme 😭 I adore all the silly names you give all the lil guys

Id be so addicted to that pit.🤣 Id be down there alllll the time. So kewl. 🥰

You need to do a live feed video setup- maybe on tiktok too so you get the monies from live streaming on both! Id watch!!!❤❤❤

You’re definitely a Beastie Boy, you’ve got a license to eel

you should add like a fake rain or something lol would be cool maybe a patch of land too

ohhh so many cute and lovely fishies

can we get a one hour video of just the eel pit and its noises?

I bet a small flathead catfish would be an awesome addition to the eel pit

The catfish with its googly eyes :D

Yooooo I’m so invested in you eel pit please show us when you get the new ones I’m excited ❤

Love the Eel pit.

I love this channel

White cloud minnows would be soo cool In here. You could have a breeding school of them

The albino cat fish is so dope

Caviar is such a beautiful fish

Bowfin aren’t expensive man, they are active so I’d say do them after raising the depth

I think people understand that in the biotope there isnt any aquatic plants but you know that there are trees and brush alongside the river filtering nitrates out of the water and thats why people are telling you to plant some plants, dont use aquatic plants if it could hurt the fish but surely you could put a couple of planters down there in the water and plant some monstera, peace lillies, and pothos above the water to help with filtrations that way your underwater biotope remains unchanged and you have the benefit of natural filtration via nitrate removal.

i love how you do these videos

you should put some lava rocks in there for surface area for bacteria. and more river rocks so there is no exposed concrete on floor would look better. but this is the coolest thing ever

Your the best cow🎉

The Eel Pit gives me life! I was wondering how you know the max limit for how many fish the pit can handle. Is it a volume calculation or something? Oh and are greyling on the table for the pit, because I love their colorful fins.

Great work my guy

Build a Floating platform for your chair. Attach Purple Growlights (above water) but aimed downwards. Maybe add a bit of a 'root' mass below the platform, so when you lower the platform, it is always resting on the rock with blunt ends. To avoid crushing something. Let that area be a bit of an 'algae' grow area that can be nipped at, by the koi etc. While also keep everything else clean and fresh. Beyond that, I agree that you don't need a lot of water depth more than the fish grow and demand it. You don't want them jumping anyhow (Which require deeper waters). However, maybe add a few platforms on the wall side with moss and ferns or similar. Just to improve air quality overall.

Nice new Catfish!

OK, this is pretty cool! Trout? They to hard to keep?

Can you do a 24 hour live stream i would watch it all the time honestly

This was awsome ❤

Very Cool!

this is so cool!!

Every time I hear Crunchwrap supreme I laugh out loud that is a wonderful name makes me think of Taco Bell 😁

super cool!

_YOU_ I've seen clips of your ticktoks floating round and i've been dieing to see the full thing (dont use ticktok). I never knew you were on youtube. I know jack about fishing keeping, but your exacution of the eel pit is amazing

So awesome

I fucking love these names

I’m absolutely in love with this eel pit, super happy I found your you tube channel. Can’t wait to see the new fish u got coming

Some terrestrial margin plans may do well and not make to much tangle. Even some ferns will put roots into the water and take out nutrient. A bit of green wont hurt.

Would you think paddlefish would work well in the eel pit once they grow out abit? Could be a very cool addition if it can work, another ancient fish alongside the sturgeon and gar

Man im from the south and you grabbing a water snake almost gave me a heart attack

Very cool

Ayyyy northern watersnake! One of my favourite snakes local to me

Nice I goto the Jones Fish in Cincinnati Ohio to get my pets! Going to get more soon

I think it would be better if the eel pit was full but cool idea is it gonna be big enough for the sturgeon tho they get huge

Love these guys! Update on Bathtub next time?

Hey when I had my albino Chanel cat I had him in warm water and he had fast growth about 5 to 10 inches a month

It's good AquaMan is doing well tbh.

Im glad you're going to add decoration but im comcerned about the size being to small if you add more

Paddel Fish would be nice

this albino looks pretty

Eel pit!!!

“Vanessa” is so random compared to the other names 😂

love the vids, dare you to mess with Australian snakes (=P)

I think you need a couple of arowanas in there

I would put some golden rainbow trout if your into odd colored fish but any trout would be interesting really

Loaches all gone, I take it...

Rip dojo🙏🏽

So you do get in the water!

I'm surprised people even think your pit looked unnatural
