My hypothesis on why fish just seem to forget you are something when you stand still. So a ton of debris lands in water like rocks,branches, dead animal, all kinds of stuff. So fish are probably just used to it by now like “oh new thing came in” and they probably see dead animals falling into the water as cod care packages.

This probably should be clarified, the Minecraft tank WAS temporary for that axolotl, she has a video on her youtube channel (Aquarium Info) with a completed version where the axolotl has a proper hiding spot.

Video title: Cutest fish TikToks First TikTok: a giant-ass dead swordfish with blood all over it

See, normally, I'm really bad at figuring out how big something is. It took me until today to realize that, when it comes to fish, that definitely still applies. My goodness, that swordfish was massive.

Calling Horseshoe crabs "dinosaur looking things" is pretty accurate considering the buggers already existed back then. Its honestly a bit sad that neither a Ocean wide methane poisoning, a cataclysmic asteroid nor a semi global ice age could kill them in over 445 Million years, but we alone managed to somehow endager their survival in just a couple hundred.

I want a colab between AVNJ and the-eels-in-basement-guy. Maybe an interview to find out what the fuck he’s doing.

It’s a rainwater cistern not a basement! Look around my page. Also the Burbot was captive raised from an aquaculture facility no reason they couldn’t thrive in captivity.

I find it ironic that he’s a fish biologist, but has a name that sounds suspiciously like “Avian Jay”

3:52 Thankfully that is not that axolotl's actual home. That video was made by a channel called Aquarium info who mainly makes these sorts of kind of cool but vert gimmicky tanks for videos although if someone doesn't know more about the channel I could definitely see someone giving their axolotl inadequate housing based on a video like this.

the reason why things are cute to humans is because of kinderschema. Kinderschema is basically the "cute requirements" for humans and animals. Characteristics of the kinderschema are usually big eyes, big head, chubby cheeks, etc. babies are cute cause it makes parents wanna protect their child B)

well we mentioned this the last time the eel guy was on the channel, but he didnt flood his basement. He has an underground water cistern that he doesn't need so he decided to use it for his eels. it would be filled with water regardless. doesnt mean hes the fish professional of all fish professionals. i just feel like if you want to form a full opinion of him and his content, you should at least understand the entire context behind what hes doing instead of continuously reciting a conclusion you jumped to and have yet to rectify.

0:17 On top of how horrific that blue marlin looks, (poor fella looks more dead than my brain cells when watching a video titled some shit like top ten scariest mariana trench megalodon mysterious prehistoric creatures) I feel like most people never realize just how big swordfish are.

went far north a few weeks ago, like almost canada north. the lake had bluegills in the shallows even while the whole cabin was out there swimming. and not tiny ones either, because there were a good few 6 in+ ones. they just swarmed us no matter how much we moved.

you can bond with your betta though just not that way. my first betta Sushi i taught him to "run" from this little laser pointer i bought and would shine into his tank from above. he'd hide in the grass and weeds around the tank, zipping in and out as i scanned the top looking for him. i also had a recliner chair next to his tank and hed come out of his little castle and lay as close to me as he coould get and idk if he was napping or just hanging out but it was cute

When I fish I will talk to the fish, like, "Hell yeah, buddy! Gotchya!" and, "calm down so I can unhook ya, dummy." and when I release them, "Be free!"

Eel guy hasn't built anything in his basement its a cistern for rain water collection and storage for drinking water for the house.

Eel pit mgee is actually a pretty good aquarist his channel is cow turtle he also has an Australian lungfish

i watched the axolotl Minecraft thing and they actually make that as a quarantine tank and make a bigger one with stone cubes and alot of hiding places plus live plants complete with an actual top where there is a hole for light but it is basically a cave

Eel-in-the-basement guy is a menace to society. They must be stopped lol

The eel pit is a rainwater cistern

“Whoaoaaa that’s there now” was perfectly delivered

“fIRsT” every dude thats not first

The eel-pit guy's "basement" is a water cistern. they used to store rain and ground water, he didn't flood his basement.

4:06 i saw her video on youtube in my algorithm she does latter also add like a little cave part and sticks more blocks on top of the lid so when she puts the lid on the tank it does make the area more darker by a bit and she added more plants ... but yeh still a weird tank just to make a video and get views since it had " Minecraft " in the title

I think the watery basement thing is a good idea, a good way to get in touch with a more uncommon part of nature I guess? All localized in your house. I'd enjoy it, just gotta avoid mold. But if you put animals inside make sure it's a good environment for them.

Fun fact: horse-shoe crabs are only living relatives to trilobites and first evolved in Silurian period (from 443.8 to 419,2 millions years back)

Expectation: adorable fish! Reality: I'm like five videos in and so far everything is misery

The minecraft axolotl tank was a temporary and the real one has hiding spots

Okay, while I agree that the tank at 3:55 is bad, they're not ice cubes, and she made a much a better one here (where the axolotl actually lives) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qctoo61j3p-rop8.html. I have no idea why she decided to put the bad one in the tiktok short.

I wish burbot were more common. I've only seen one once in my life here in Minnesota and it was in a tank. Bluegills are a lot smarty than people give them credit for. I have gone fishing at lakes and sometimes they will stop biting and stare at the bait after I've caught a few of them. I also fed some by hand while snorkeling in Wisconsin once.

5:50 human babies all look like the Resident Evil Village slug baby to me but then I find most insects cute... I have pet cockroaches and I think they're absolutely adorable. I also recently got superworms so I would have live insects for any insectivores I may need to feed and I think they're precious with their tiny faces and their moonwalking and using their tails to balance themselves like cats 🥺 they're cuter than my younger cat half the time because her cute factor gets very low when she's up to no good

I work at a filleting plant, we get swordfish bigger than that sometimes. It's the only fish that is really comparable to butchering a cow in my opinion.

8:14 i love how he puts the orginal eel in the basment guy in there

7:20 All the time. Especially when they're not biting for ages and you finally get the big one. It's a spike of adrenaline and you're screaming.

The eel pit is something where it's a cool idea, but only if done correctly. Unfortunately I don't think eel guy is doing it right.

This tiktok based video honestly made my day a lot less boring and more wholesome:)

I love the little end card I’ll just watch videos to see it at the end like a reward for something keeping my attention for more than thirty seconds

I think we find animal babies cute because they're a small and often rounder version of their parents + sometimes we relate big eyes with innocence.

Just got positive result for covid and feel absolutely awful but I come home to a new avnj vid? Today just got a lot better :)

My betta fish dances by the the aquarium when he sees my face and chases my hand, he does all this just to get more food

17:00 it is definitely a 50/50, half the time im just tired of catching spot and im hoping for something better, but im 100% aware its a spot on the line

I recently came back to a kid show called "Octonauts", it has anthropomorphic animals characters going around parts of the ocean or on land exploring, researching and saving animals. The show used to mostly stick to underwater explorations but now they expand to places like rainforest or more specifically Himalayas to help and save animals. I don't know why but I want to see you react to the old episodes of them doing some exploring in the sea. The show also sprinkle in some animals fact for kiddies too, I wanna see your reaction to it and maybe if there are some little fishy facts along the way that they either got wrong or if you want to add to it in anyway, I'd love to hear and see it. I just fucking love this show man.

Yep, everyone who line fishes and actually enjoys fishing will do that. We'll make a big deal of it, "oh, oh, it's a big one!" and it'll be a small Shad or baby catfish or something. I've reeled in once and it was a particularly large crawdad. He had a snack out of my worm and decided to play with the hook because they like shiny things. You can 'catch' them with a bare hook because they're like crows with gills, they see shiny and must snatch. Also, that 'basement' looks more like an old cistern.

5:52 i 100% agree with this

I love the no mercy reality checks after the tiktok videos

The eel in basement guy could put a body down there and the fish will eat it

7:20 I'll be like oh cool a fish in my head but I'm mostly silent when I'm reeling in a fish

I swear that the “fish in the basement” guy said before that he didn’t just turn his basement into an aquarium. I remember him and other people saying that this is a Rainwater Cistern.

FISH! FISH ARE BEST FISH! I always get excited to see your new uploads!

Basement eel guy is totally hoping the eels will dispose of dead bodies for him once they get large enough.

The one with the Minecraft tank for the axolotl, she only put him in there while she made a bigger take with places to hide:)

when I lived in Oklahoma, I regularly caught bluegill with a literal blade of grass as my lure...

Love your videos keep up the great work

Love your videos man :)

The only channel ever where you have to specify *human* babies

People on the east coast used to literally hunt tuna and swordfish on special boats where they would literally HARPOON the fish.

Thank you Mr. AVNJ very cool

As someone who's part of their job to sell fishing licenses, I can 100% guarentee that you legally have to narrate everything you do while fishing to get a license.

That Minecraft axalotl person is a KZfaqr that like designing different terrariums and she puts the axalotl for reference and to make the Visio more enjoyable.

the final tik tok with the blue gill the reason they are near the surface and not hiding is because they cant go down because there is a crocodile and you can see the eyes at the top left of the tik tok I remember a comment about the eyes on the tik tok the eyes are basically glowing and if u look through very carefully you can see the eyes peering up.

I love a good Fish Tok Friday on a Sunday night

the title: CUTEST fish the actual videos: dead fish lmao

4:08 it is a temporary tank. if you want to you can chek out the actual tank that was build for the axolotl at aquarium info

1:40 considering what they live in is typically a permanent static area objects coming part of the environment is just logical.

1:58 DAMN my guy found fish ore. just need to make it into fish ingots and get yourself the fish fishin rod

the eel basement guy didnt just fill his basement with water though. its a rain cistern. it used to be how the house got water. when it rains, it fills with water

The first TikTok was pretty exciting though also this video like always was pretty amazing Also I wish yall are doing good

I giggle nervously when I hook a fish! :D

If I remeber correctly the eel pit guy said that the pit used to be a water reservoir for the house or something like that. I mean I personally dont really know enough about these thing but I dont really see why it wouldent work

By the way the first axolotl TikTok with the Minecraft thing that was it’s temporary home they made him a new home with way more hiding spots and I was also Minecraft themed

I did understand the guy with the red fish on its toes. He spoke french.

"Jesus I did not know they got that big"... ... *that's what she said* ...

Every time a pufferfish appears you tell the story of the pufferfish that bit you, it's like my dad retelling the same stories

"I have never seen bluegill this dumb" we had bluegill in the lake by my old house and you could absolutely do this. If you had a hook you didn't even have to bait it for the smaller ones to swarm up next to it and try to get it. We used to catch a few first thing and use the meat as bait for perch, was super effective and easy.

4:00 not to mention the fact that the completely colorless squares don’t help

7:20 In the Midwest we sure do. I have no idea about other places though.

I bonded with a bass by reviving it and I got to swim with it for a while

i actually caught a fish like that when i was much younger a school of fish went near the beach so i ran along the beach and jumped in and grabbed one i let it go of course

Hey north west fishing secrets is awesome. Great to see Leif on your channel and kitbogas

I should start watching the streams

"The eel pit"

I saw the minecraft axlotl tank one and someone said what was in the video wasn't done, that they added hiding spots in another video

The sound you were trying to name is a collection of techniques in Beatboxing, we generally call em' "Click rolls" or "Tongue rolls". Not sure how that translates to whale noises though.

Tic tok time!

Everytime I see a new fish TikTok video out, I think it says FishToks and am disappointed when its not

You can train a betta but yes it's like what ever it will know ur the one that feed it the feeder

The minecraft tank was her quarantine tank I believe. She made a bigger one with more plants and hiding places for a permanent residence.

1:59 really omg I didn’t know that’s how you catch fish!1!11!1!

Imagine they caught fish by clownfish coming out of a wooden floor

its a man-made cistern so it was made for water and not just a basment thats been flooded.

Probably someone's private pond bluegill. You know, captive raised for pond stocking. I knew a guy that had a pond and stocked it with bluegill and they would come to the surface whenever something got near. I was using a bobber and they'd attack that for a good five minutes before one would realize the food was on the hook below it

horshoe crab: we evolvin today? NAAAH! evolving is for noobs

Naughty fishes gets thrown into the eel pit

we have really dumb bluegill near our house, you can literally just drop your fishing line straight in and they’ll bite in, it’s just drop and pull up. It’s so easy.

The minecraft tank can be well made, it's just poorly executed that they didn't add a hiding spot for the little guy

4:41 I'm no _Fishologist_ but I'm pretty sure that rolling clicking sounds is called _"Spooky chick from The Grudge noise"_ _(Whales are just big fish so I assume they're also under the same scientific branch of Fishology.)_

I'm pretty sure we harvest Horseshoe blood humanely and without killing the creature...

I have to say that the white on white chat is superior

love puffer fish

I think the turning sound of your tongue is called a trill.
