AVNJ is just a dad taking care of his chat that consists of people with ADHD

Zach just feels like a dad trying to take care a hundred sugar high kids

Zach: "What do you guys collect chat?" 80 Percent of chat: "dinosaurs."

Petition for Zach to kiss a wolf eel on the forehead if he ever gets 1 million subs

Man, that guy going on about how bad lakes are has clearly never been in a lake lol

My favorite part is when AVNJ the funny fish man jumped up on the roof and screamed "It's Fishing Time" and then proceeded to transform into a fish

I hope we get a cameo form the basement eel guy at some point in the future

Yeh, the upside down thing is true. I got a catfish who likes to stick on the underside of a little amphora (it's one of the sucker-mouthed catfish, like a pleco but a lot smaller) I have as a hideout and decoration. The funny thing is, it falls alseep and then falls off which results in it sleeping on its back. The first few times I saw it I thought it had just died, but nope, it always gets back up. Kind of like the fish equivalent of a cat falling asleep on its back with its paws stretched upwards.

I'll watch this later, I'm watching ur old megalodon is extinct vid for the 500th time for entertainment

5:05 this man in the chat needs some serious help. Even twitch chat just froze up in anxiety.

Lmao the lake one. If your first thought about swimming in a lake is that there may be dead bodies…. I’m a little concerned about ya. Also, yes there are some dangerous animals that live in CERTAIN lakes. Literally any kind of environment you can do that with. Like forests? I could tell you to never go hiking in any forest ever because bears, wolves, and moose may be there. Like…. just pick a lake that you know doesn’t have this shit and you should be fine! Dude May as well just never do anything ever. Eating? You could choke and die. Breathing? There could be something in the air that you breathe in and it kills you. Walking? You could trip and fall juuuuust the wrong way and break your neck and die. Like…. just do your research on the lake if you’re so worried! There was that scarred, absolutely massive kangaroo that kept terrorizing pedestrians and dog walkers. Are you gonna refuse to walk anywhere in your neighborhood because some kangaroo in a whole other continent (if you don’t live in Australia) could have hurt someone? People have been killed by dogs and you’re far more likely to die that way than anything he said just from statistical reasons. Yet aside from phobias, most people generally aren’t all that afraid of dogs and even sleep with them in the bed. Don’t get me wrong, you can talk about these things like amoebas or gators, but this sorta exaggeration and fear mongering just infuriates me! Like…. don’t scare people away from enjoying lakes and nature just because there are gators and hippos in the world, not that particular lake some family is going to, just generally in the world. Refusing to swim in a lake in America (random example) because hippos live in lakes…. in AFRICA is just absurd!

Shoutout to xXbean_boi123Xx, the hilarious and original contrarian who spoke the words "Bye KZfaq!"

Crying at the person who said they collect moms 😭

When I was a kid, here in Australia, we would find rock pools full of sea urchins, anemones, blue ringed octopus, and all sorts of creatures. most of those spots have disappeared over the last 20 years or so though :(

Certified fish moment

Video idea: You make a series of you going on your outings, but you call them "Fish Pokédex” and it’s literally you just doing what you normally do but you show us the family, genus and species of the fish and make each episode titled like "MOTHER OF FISH BIG BOI FOUND|#1 Fish Pokédex: Lake Michigan(or some random streams since I know u don’t like fishing)” and it’s just you catching and explaining the family, genus and species and showing us you posting it on your iNaturalist to interact with you. THEN you can hold a fish identification tournament months later after u post more vids and just use the fish you’ve identified on your inaturalist. Would really show who follows your content and also allow ppl to prep better for the tournament. Nonetheless, maybe I’m being a nerd, but love hearing the fun informative information you provide. Keep it up!

Chat is so suggestible im crying the only way to get them to stop spamming something is to give them a funnier thing to spam

I feel like Zak gives good hugs. Father Zak is best dad.

You can get a fossil of a common fish from the green river formation for about 15$ depending on the size and seller. At least in the us. I may or may not like collecting fossils 😅 As for where, I have gotten fossils online, in rock shops, street fairs, and from this one lady at the local flea market

Invite the basement eel guy onto your channel and do an interview with him

You should react to casual geographics videos about the ocean. His descriptions about animals in general are so educational yet so entertaining to watch

You know lakes have crocs but they are so chill and crocodiles don't move at all

That one dude who collects human souls. Honestly, same, we should team up, we’d get double the souls in a shorter amount of time

Fun Fact! Hippos are in fact native to Africa, BUT they can also be found in South America. Specifically Colombia, because when Pablo Escobar was alive, he had hippos brought to his like compound and when he died, they were released into the wild and they have to breed and that's why you can find hippos in Colombia!

On the eel when they were talking about the googly eyes, I thought they were talking about the nostrils looking like the googly eyes

Shout out to the dude collecting ‘Doo doo fards’

"What do you collect?" *Depression*

Thanks for blessing us with your good content fish daddy, I admire how you remember names of every fish, while I’ve been in the Bahamas I’ve been trying to name all the tropical fish I find , so I too can embrace being learned

7:00 “hold onto the fish, he floats.” WHY DID I FIND THIS SO FUNNY 😭

“bye youtube” im dead

4:58 nice chat you got there buddy ;) Anyway love the videos keep it up champ

I can’t wait for crabzilla to be included

if a moray eel tried to bite me lookin like that id just deck it

I think that one guy about the lakes was getting one of the Great Lakes (don’t remember which one) with all lakes??? Apparently in one of them the conditions make of decomposing kinda hard and either makes things fossilize easily or mummify (don’t remember which one either) I don’t remember a lot of the details but I know it’s one of the Great Lakes and not all lakes, so if someone knows the details pLZ add on

That video of the Grouper with the dude was hilarious. Now I didn't scare me, but I am a tiny bit scared of Groupers.

Holy shit that grouper was HUGGGEEE being next to a human really puts it in perspective

As someone from Michigan the lake guy personally offended me.

13:57 honestly as someone who lives in maine, this made me laugh because I know exactly why someone said that lmfao

Thank you Mr. AVNJ very cool

Zach in the first few seconds: *You should reset yourself NOW*

not someone in his twitch chat saying “STDs” when he asked them what they collect. that was so funny. update: after reading other messages from chat, ive skillfully determined that the STD collector is the least of our worries.

If you decide to collect fish fossils, I would recommend visiting or buying from the Green River formation in Wyoming. Pretty sure the guy's Gar were from there, and there's a lot of really well preserved and nice looking fish. My favorite is the Prisacara Bass.

I would also nope out of there if a fish bigger than me, in its own element, we're that close to a boat I would never get on.

Love your videos

Lived in Singapore for five years, and can confirm they have incredible fish. Most interesting one I saw there was a wild forest betta (betta pugnax)

The swimming upside down maybe sometimes they think that’s the ground and there like oh I gotta fix myself

The tide pool area might also be Australia. So many amazing areas there. On my bucket list for sure!

2:53 my little brother collects dead bees to put in little lego houses. I collect blankets.

Sunfish dude has obviously convinced himself that hating random things is an acceptable substitute for a personality

There is a culture in my house, when you bought a snake head for soup, you will have to slam that thing on the floor. Caz my mom heard a myth that some weird ass monster lizard would pretend to be a snake head, but when you accidentally ate them, they will melt every bones in your body and you will turn into a puddle the next day. So you have to slam it on the ground and it will run away with 4 limbs. So in short, we buy a snake head, alive. Swing it like a cowboy and slam it on the ground. Because of some old myth.

Also depending on the body of water from what I've caught largies have either blue or orange Idk what changes it but I've been bass fishing for a long time like since I was 3 now I'm 14 and every pure spawn I see either blue or orange fins it's like blue in some lakes or ponds and orange in the others

Australia, specifically SA, has some pretty nice tidepools at heaps of beaches, also Whyalla has some really cool places like that!

monstermikefishing if i’m correct is basically a second zachcatchem

First video has HEAVY trailer park boys energy.

Carter lake in Oregon is awesome, it’s just a 10-20 min walk to the coast aswell and it’s awesome The zebra eel had googly eyes in its nose I think

12:41 that’s clearly baloony from Phineas and Ferb.

Crazy I've been in the Round Valley Reservoir since I was kid with my family. I live right by it lol.

2:46 Chemical elements. Most recent sample is technetium test blood

"Bodies decompose in fresh water...-" LAKE MICHIGAN 😬

You can collect fish fossils, plz do. Collecting plant and dinosaur age fossils is my favorite thing to do. It takes time, but you can find a fossil in designated locations in less than 10mins. Spend and hour or two and you can find some really cool one. Over time you can find some super cool ones!

Coyote Peterson is a Animal KZfaqr who is definitely pretty responsible and helps with Animals Conservation and spreading awareness of many things. One example is he helped with a Campaign to get Alligator Gar on the Wild Game fish list so that they can be regulated as apposed to just killed all the time! Really cool guy and the Channel is Brave Wilderness

There is an eco-resort in Cambodia or Viet Nam that you might like... Built on stilts over a natural habitat, you catch any freshwater fish you want for meals, and can easily explore the entire site with just above water paths into the jungle. It's a small place for guests (6, I think) so it's not exploitive of the ecosystem...

moray eels look like sock puppets with googly eyes

4:56-5:11... that chat message though. And just no response XD

Lol i loved that first tiktok

Ok cowturtle is the comedic side villain that is just a cheap villain. He has the classic eel pit except they’re actually not electric or a pond full of sharks in his secret lair which is just his basement. Instead of going to art museums to plan an extravagant heist to steal something worth millions while he’s in his normal rich person persona that he’s just going to put in his giant lair like all rich villains. Instead, he’s just a dude looking at fish fossils and probably wondering how to get them in his basement. Truly one of the most mysterious people of all time.

My dad had a buddy that was diving when a moray jumped out its hole bit his Achilles and he had to get back to shore where paramedics had to cut the whole jaw in half to get it to let go

3:03 i hear you my fellow Bionicle collector

my goldfish is kinda sussusmogus

Shoutout to the dude in chat that said he collects people.

9:45 i’m calling bullshit as well because my mom‘s parents live at Breezy Point during the summer so I get to go to the beach there, those beaches are not white sandy. The wet sand is a dark brown so that guy is a liar. Or he has never been to a normal Beach that isn’t commercialized/in the tropics.

You can also go to Costa Rica for tidepools I found a blue puffer trapped there in a tide pool and put em into the ocean

Monterey bay aquarium had a young great white in it when I was little. They explained that it would be released when it was ready. I can’t remember if they hatched it or if it was in rehab for something (I was like 7).

I mean tbh a looooot of missing people have been found dead in their cars in a lake. One guy who's son was found after 10 years fished in that same lake above his son's body and never knew.

He's not actually scared of the fish but scared of going down into the ocean

The brain eating amoeba is an organism that thrives at very high temperatures. When they say hot springs, they mean like the geothermal ones where the water temperature gets up to 100 degrees or higher. And even then, it's difficult to get them in a deadly position because they have to get far enough into your nasal cavity that they encounter a very specific chemical receptor released by your smell nerves that's way up in the back of the passage. And to get there they have to go through all of your body's defenses, which will naturally attack it. Yeah, what they do to you is terrifying, but it's very hard to get them in your system. And even then, the places where you'll find them are uncommon enough that you'd have to specifically go looking to find them.

I feel like the guy who doesn't want to swim in lakes just doesn't want to go outside, at all. But did you know most accidents happen indoors? Don't tell him that. He's going to implode.

Yes, come to Indonesia very kool fishes here

I live in Indonesia most of the famous beach are polluted but There are many that are untouched but you have to do some research to found it

Okay I wouldn’t swim in a lake either if the body I dumped into it didn’t decompose after I introduced crocodiles hippos venomous snakes and brain eating amoeba to it.

11:10 the most beautiful fish ever

I collect glass bottles, especially the ones with molded on designs

"That's like being scared of Ernie." How long has it been since you watched Sesame Street? Ernie is a monster, I'd be a little scared of him myself. He's like a borderline psychopath who might snap and kill you at any moment.

Hi! I'm from Venezuela and we have a population of invasive hippos in some rivers, they're in Colombia too!

I hate sand too lol. Feel like Anakin when I'm at the beach. I don't swim without sandals on in a natural body of water

I collect multiple things. Unicorn stuff (toys, blankets, fabric, clothes), LPS, rings, crystals (and basically everything incorrectly called crystals), cats (the animals themselves and cat stuff/hj), and bracelets I make but never wear (sensory issues)

In Iowa we have brain eating amoeba in some of the lakes. Someone passed away this year from it iirc

8:35 dude most lakes don’t have any currents and there just awesome

12:20 my guy has the face of a 145 year old man who doesn’t have his dentures in and is also having war flashbacks 💀💀

This video sure was *Hilarious* and I can't wait to see more Also I wish y'all are having a grant day

FISH TOK FRIDAYYYY (on a Saturday)

Fr I love him half bc I have been fishing since I was 3 now I'm q4 and just watch him sometimes

omg im high as hell watchingand i am literally screaming in joy knowing theres another person who collects dinosaur toys.

Twitch teaches you how to baby sit like no nanny could

5:50 my Oscar swims upside down at times along the lid. 😅

I have rock caves made of sleight in my tank and have seen my fish swimming upside down against the roof of the caves

That man is employing psychological warfare against those fish

The dude with the Goliath grouper is monster Mike from monster Mike fishing

Bro I’m scared of Goliath groupers, they can be mad scary and aggressive cause they bite flippers and break peoples feet when they swallow down on them

14:00 Carl's bad California has some.
