We found an abandoned pond in Virginia that had tons of fish suffering in what can only be described as a black mud puddle.

Probably some of the rude comments are of those who can’t appreciate the size or beauty well through a video. It looks gorgeous! And I’m sure even more in person. Great on you guys to have taken those fishies off to a better life.

The new homeowners did a great thing to have the fish rescued ❤ The previous home owners should be ashamed of themselves!

Thanks for blasting those idiots in the comments. Sometimes the trolls need to be put in their place. Also hats off to the girl who reached out about the fish. She could just killed them all and not tell anyone. But she cared enough to help out the fish in need. Great video!

What a great resolution for everyone involved! Those fish get upgraded to the Cadillac of ponds, you get gorgeous Koi, and you saved 28 fish lives. Love how it all came together. Good luck managing your impending MPS! lol

Due to illness my pond has fell into disrepair, fortunately, no fish were lost. This stunning pond is giving me the motivation next spring to bring it back to life, not as great as yours but I’m definitely giving it a go. I love it.

There's an amazing video from Sacramento Koi called "What It's Like to Buy Koi in Japan" and you might be able to identify your other two koi from the tons they show in that video!

The fish look totally happy in their new home, those 4 koi are stunning. (Great names as well) great rescue story. Ignore all the negative comments they are not worth your energy. Looking forward to seeing your pond mature with some time. 😊

I wouldn't worry about the haters. There's always going to be users that like to shitpost. I'd take it with a grain of salt. Most of us know you've got a great handle on things and this channel has been instrumental in helping so many people with their tanks, myself included. The one thing to remember is that responding to shitposters is what they want.

@Hummingbirder1 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, look at those nice Koi and goldfish! So much happier now, and so are you. It turned out so much better for all three parties (Fishes, new homeowner that didn't want to be a fish-pond owner and you). Good video, man, I hope you'll read (or hear about) this and all other positive comments that will flood this comment section ;-)

@Sea-cucumber1151 10 ай бұрын

The ponds plants and nitrifying bacteria must be amazing keeping those fish alive in that nasty pond. They are huge, can’t believe how good they looked. Shows how a good older pond can do it’s thing. Granted they probably needed to vacuum it out at some point, bet in it’s hay day it was a very nice!

Koi are incredible, and remarkably intelligent fish. Mine were trained to swim into my palm when I put my hand in the water, and were perfectly calm when picked up to examine them. They were delighted to eat pellets from my fingers, and seemed to actively enjoy interacting with humans. Or, more likely, they just wanted food, but it works out the same in the end. Congratulations on a lovely pond and some beautiful fish.

@johnjunkins5759 10 ай бұрын

Love this. When we moved into our home 4 years ago, we discovered that someone had filled in a cement pond. After a lot of digging and a new liner, we have a ~900 gal pond. Started off with some goldfish, but have added koi into the mix, too. Our 2 biggest koi are also rescues we got lined up with through Petco. Watching them swim about is so satisfying. I really felt you when you uttered the phrase "MPS"! The struggle is real!

@mandalasandmore0712 10 ай бұрын

I would ignore the negative comments. Pointing them out just gives them some twisted satisfaction. I love that you rescued these fish! 👏

Moved to Springfield, Mo in 2003, put in what I thought was a small pond, appx 8,000 gals. Pond was 5 feet at deepest. Just move and sold the house. Arranged for the Koi to have new home before we left. Worked with AquaScape. The better half said no more fish. I will continue to try to set up aquarium in the future. Great job on rescue.

@blujeans9462 10 ай бұрын

Beautiful!! Just a side note: I doubt you would do this, but a friend had a prized koi pond and their groundskeeper applied something to their lawn without protecting the pond - all died quickly. 😢. As for 'evil' people - let's not say that the previous folks were the bad guys either. They may have been elderly and couldn't take care of them as well as they used to. Someone's grandkids might watch this someday, and it will break their hearts. Somebody clearly cared for them at one time - it was a beautiful setup. No bad guys, just lucky folks able to help others at just the right time!

I only recently found your channel. Your online personas are refreshingly genuine and you give great practical advice. Yes, you run a business, but I don’t feel like I’m watching an infomercial. I wish there was something remotely like you in these parts. We are heading into winter soon, & I’ll be working from home in an office in a semi-finished basement for the foreseeable future. So I’m cleaning up my old tanks, replacing equipment as needed, and will be slowly and deliberately setting them up again following your advice. Your channel is perfect.

That gray and white koi is just beautiful. All of the fish are, but his colors are just so dramatic. I'm glad that the new homeowner found someone who wanted the fish, and extremely glad that it was you and Lisa.
