Thanks for watching! Glad I was able to revive this lil blood parrot. Drop some names for him!⬇️ Giveaway coming at 25k!

Saving the Blood Parrot didn’t change the world but it changed his world and that’s all that counts.

I purchased goldfish from my school. They bought them as a valentine fundraiser where you could anonymously buy one for someone else. I went straight to the principle and said "this is a terrible idea. Dont do this. I will buy them all just please end this right now!" And they were just like "okay sure I guess...." I brought them home in a week. They had bought ten but while they were staying at the school half of them had died! I had the other five, of which sadly one more passed away. I've had the other four for almost a year and a half. They have more than trippled the size and all are in good health. Still can't belive my school thought that was okay.

If I remember correctly Blood Parrots get that black peppering type look when they are highly stressed. They will pretty much retreat to a section of the tank and be very skittish. However, it will go away but also come back here and there.

I thought the frog tank didn’t have any water at all at first lmao crystal clear foshooo

You could name him Cayden which means “fighter” in Welsh!

The black on him is from being stressed, poor guy

Too bad your petco is like that... they’re not all bad though, my local Petco is great. All tanks are planted and get 50% water changes every two days or so. They also have a quarantine system for their fish. They don’t all suck, but unfortunately most do. Edit: I made a couple edits to this, specifically the water change one. I kind of wrote this comment and forgot about it and didn’t really check my facts. Everybody’s been really worried about the 50% water change thing, and I don’t know why I wrote that in the first place, it’s not true and it’s more like every two days or so. However it is important for the stores to frequent water changes because they cycle through a lot of fish and the tanks are typically heavily stocked. Also, by planted I mean they have some nice mats of Java ferns and a Anubias and plants for sale in pots in the tanks, not aquascaped or anything like that

I'm old enough to be your mother, so I can say this: What a wonderful, kind hearted young man you are. Thank you for saving this sweet soul. With all that's going on these days, watching someone actually care about another living being made my heart full. I wish you nothing but the best, you sweet boy.

How about the name "Phoenix". It symbolises a mythological bird that rises from its ashes. I guess it also means dark red.

Blood parrots truly are my favorite they have a soft spot in my heart. I have always kept them. I love their personality once they get past their shy phases. The black on the blood parrot is because he is super stressed out. When my parrots have gotten stressed they start getting little areas of black from being stressed.

I love when I see people care as much as this about all animals. Scales, Fins or fur all life has value

Not only did you save a Blood parrot, You saved my fish too I forgot the name of it but it was almost full black untill i started the every day process of water cleaning and adding more salt for aquariums :D

Definitely get into rescues - you are perfect for it!! Thanks Carson - every little life counts right!

We need more people who care about fish just as much as you

Glad there’s another guy out there saving animals. ✌️

It’s very sad that petsmart can’t take care of fish, but an old tub you have in your house got him back to 100% health.

I think you should name it “Spotless” because he doesn’t have spots anymore. The name sounds weird but when you say it more it has a ring to it!!!

❤ Hell ya man!! I'm so glad you bought him and changed his world! I have two blood parrots for almost 7 years now... They were little brownish colored, quarter sized, happy faced fish when I got them .. They made eye contact and I was hooked! I love them for real. They are so interactive and they watch me as much as I watch them.

seeing how nice you are to these animals makes me really happy in these rough times

I think aquarium salt should be dissolve in a different container before adding it

When you said the black wasn't supposed to be there I was so surprised-

Thanks for caring for the little chap. He deserves as good a life as any living creature. Well done mate!

The 40 dislikes are PetCo employees... Save more fishies! This was really interesting 🐟🐟

Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed!

I just want to say that what your doing is great and keep up the amazing work. You just saved an innocent fish thank you

I just found your video and I want to "Thank You" so much for saving this Blood Parrots life...Your an Amazing person and God Bless you. These Dodo Videos help me with my PTSD...TY so much.

So happy you rescued this sweet fish. Please continue to rescue poor fish in need. They're so beautiful and precious. Thank you!

Bless your heart!

This is the cutest and most wholesome KZfaq video I watched. You made my night.

What a heart! Thank you for caring about a tiny fish.

God bless you, you are so kind hearted. Thank you for saving him. How sweet.

I work at a small pet store, it’s a small business and we clean the tanks and do water changes every week. Our fish room girl is super duper passionate about the fish, then I go and see petsmart tanks and they’re soooo sad. I don’t really believe in selling animals in stores but at least at the store I work at we do cage cleans every day and fish tank cleans every week

carson i wish you could post more often but it’s hard to edit and i can see the hard work and dedication you put into it and your bearly starting as well so keep it up man i can’t wait till you next vid!

I’m so glad you saved him! He is so precious

so happy to see him rescuing the little helpless fish.

I just did the same thing last week saved an African Cichlid now he’s doing great and as happy as ever

Im glad we dont have Petco in our country, we have something called Zoo1, and they take great care off all their animals! They have parrots and other birds in small cages, like you would normally use, but when the day is over they have their own outside place. And their fish have great tanks that get changed water when needed, im thankfull for that ngl

You earned a new follower by rescuing him. I am hoping to see a good news update as I start watching the rest of your videos. I bought 2 neon tetras from Petco that had severe spine deformities. I had to hand feed them because they couldn't swim as fast as the other fish but they were such a joy to have. I had them both for nearly 4 years before they passed away.

This is a wonderful tale. Thank you for saving this little fella, and also for sharing the story.

For the frogs: Jesse and Brooke For the fish: Colt

That poor guy was lucky you find him. He needed so little to be fine but in the store they couldn't even do that. Makes me think of all the other poor animals languishing in stores 😭

I'm so glad you saved that poor fish, we need more humans like you to see the value in even the smallest of our living creatures. It gives me the motivation to try and save those other dying fish I come upon in those pet stores.

I love that you saved this fish, you're a good guy.

Poor baby. I found a mouse at Petsmart and he had a huge furless patch on him. He must've been sick or gotten into a fight with the other mouse. Pet stores need to take better care of their animals 😔

You are a great yoututber and commit to your fish even after this pandemic hit I love your videos and keep up the great work

Thank you for saving the fish. You have such a kind soul.

Amazing vid bro! That fish will always be grateful to you, thanks for encouraging the world to take better care for fish🙌

My first thought when seeing the title was "Imagine going to the pet store and asking for the dying goldfish "

i have a one eyed devil siclid he had one eye when i got him now hes HUGE and happy *name is patchey*

That was so sweet of you to save that sick fish, I'm so glad he's better now! 😊💕

Thanks for caring 💕

Today’s my birthday and I got a turtle two weeks ago as an early gift, your vids have really helped me take good care of my turtle

U could name it squidward as he loves his house

Awww good to see the new fish doing so well! Great job!

Yes, When he got to your house he got happy. I think he knew he was in a good place 👍 You did a brilliant thing for his life. Bless you for thinking of doing more rescues. 🙏

Yes!! carson literally evertime u post i click so fast, you can tell carson actually cares about his subscribers when he takes the time out of his day to read comments he should be verified im so glad i started watching this dudes channel :D

I'm glad that people are still rescuing these fish even if it's giving the company's more money. It shows the companies what they're doing wrong and shows that each fish has hope!

To more fish rescue!!!! Blesss you and your efforts and initiatives!

Thanks for the saving the fish, that was really kind of you.

You should name one of the frogs Bertha. 😂

Thank you for changing this little fishy’s life!

Thank you for saving this little life!

This is such a blessing

You should name him Bear Grills. Adapt, Overcome, Survive.

I know I’m not first but still if you get to see this keep it up your channel is most certainly growing and this is some crazy good content

That goldfish has one of the most beautiful faces I've ever seen on a fish. No wonder he touched your heart. Thank you Carson.🙏🏽

Every life, no matter how tiny, matters to the one living it! And every life is worth saving. THANK YOU! 🙏🏻💖

when a youtuber on a budget can keep one of your dying pets alive for more than 1 week

U should name him champ because he is a champ he survived great video ❤️

I loved that you did so much for this little fish. Well done xx

You did such a great job getting the blood parrot healthy. So inspiring! Keep up the good work. I love watching your videos!♡

IM SUPER LATE ON THIS BUT HE SHOULD BE NAMED PERSY (Per-see) short for perseverance

It’s not rescuing, it’s supporting their business. They’ll now see that the fish are selling and import more.

Oh my gosh this is so lovely and cute. I am not a fish fan but I'm a fan of good hearted humans and this is one for sure!!!

Definitely more rescues. And thank you for being a real human being! Compassion rocks.

2:46 minimum tank size for a betta tank is 5 gallons. You should probably upgrade :)

today is my bday my only wish is u would give me a shout out because i have watched you for about 2 years and i love your channel ❤

Just saw your video from Dodo. You’re a hero! I personally would love to watch more rescue videos. It’s great to be informed on how to properly take of fish (if anyone is looking to start an aquarium or needs help on how to maintain one) Anyways, hope you are doing well. ☺️

Wow man thats a beautiful to.how could they do that but it was really human of you to take him home and bring him back to life...god bless you brother.

You could name him "Cochallulo" which means in quechua (Survivor).

The female African frogs names, Jamie and Rica or Sandra!😂 Sandra I mean sand. I’m sorry I just really enjoy these videos✌🏻 keep it up Carson you are a great person!

This is so awesome! And even though it may increase sales for places like Petco, it also calls them out for the neglectful treatment of their animals. I used to work there and although I, and other employees tried very hard to keep the tanks clean and the animals alive, it is like fighting a losing battle when there are 50+ tanks and 2 employees responsible for all the maintenance. It is a system set up for failure and cruelty. This little guy deserved a chance as an individual and you did the right thing. Thank you for showing how someone can make a difference without becoming an aquarium expert! It can be intimidating but you simplified it wonderfully! I say keep saving fish and make it public where they were saved from to raise awareness because most people really have no idea.

My son rescued an Ell from being bait 10 years ago,Eli von Williams is my slimy Grandson! Love you for helping!

i would love if u named one of the female frogs priscilla it was my moms name

I loved the blood parrot did I spell it right ? He’s cute wonder whether he’s a she 😂 and yess rescue moreee it’s awesome and amazing 🤩😍

That was so sweet! You are a great man.

Most people wouldn’t even consider something like rescuing a fish. You have my respect... and a new subscriber. 👍🏼

Feed him pellets dipped in fish vitamin(can buy from amazon)then see how quickly he recovers .thank me later

Call him chad after Chadwick (black panther) who sadly passed away about a week ago just like Kobe after Kobe Bryant

Similar happened to me...I was at meijer and I always stop by the pet department to check out the fish. Not necessarily to check on their well being but more so to learn their behavior and such as I'm fairly new to home aquatics. I happened to notice a blood parrot down on the bottom row of tanks with the feeder gold fish. I told the lady working the department that fish is not a cold water fish and may probably be dead by the end of the week. She told she couldn't do anything about it. I said " you mean, You can't get a net and place him in a tank with the correct temperature for his species?" She tells me that meijer now has a third party outfit come in once a week to stock, decorate, blah,blah and she is only allowed to feed them. Whoa I thought. She then says ,you should buy him. I didn't exactly go there to buy a fish, I didn't have room for him anywhere but he went home with me a anyway. Same condition , black spots, laying sideways , lethargic......now a year later he is as healthy as can be , 3 times the size and happily shares a tank with my Oscar & a fire mouth cichlid.

We need more people like you

Good job man but I honestly think Petco is so much worse at taking care of their fish rather than PetSmart.

Dude...can't tell how I respect your efforts...me and the spouse had a small koi pond years ago, and lost almost all our fish due to a pond issue...we loved our fish, but it just got to be too much, but you have our respect...

Absolutely fantastic job great job.

Love that you did this!

this video helped me out so much... thank you Carson!

I feel so bad for the fish at petco, but those employees have NO time to keep them happy. I've been there and tried to even get someone to sell me anything and those employees are overworked. YAY for saving this baby!

I am proud of you, man. Most people don't see suffering. And you would make a good veterinarian, or even a nurse or physician. You kept it simple. You created a healthy environment in which his immune system could thrive and fight the infection. Cool.

Great job, thanks for rescuing him !
