2,200 GALLON TANK - MAN VS. DEADLY STINGRAYS

[@dalemac89]

So glad to see you guys are OK after the livestream. I think these kind of maintenance videos are really insightful. A lot of people get fish and don't have a clue of the maintenance involved or the costs of owning fish and maintaining tanks. Plus, a lot of us watching want to see what goes on around the rescue on a day to day basis. Even if you think it's boring, a lot of us enjoy watching what you guys do.

[@Yepaquatics]

Dude I never realized how big that tank was until Josh’s big ass got in there 😂😂❤❤ love it

[@NekoKotorii]

This is the sort of video that got me first watching Ohio fish rescue. We wanna see the gritty work, it makes the accomplishments all the better. I'm really waiting to see the cold water / koi rescue tank outside getting cleaned, filled and used!

[@carver2667]

An aquarium hobbyist is always interested in how other aquarium fish keepers maintain their aquariums and filtration systems. It never gets old, at least for me. I'm 57 and have been in the fish hobby since I was 7 and I'm always looking to learn more. So yes please keep the maintenance videos coming. I enjoy them.

[@GeezuzSword]

Personally I love the maintenance type videos and seeing what you guys do on a daily basis to keep the tanks clean and the fish healthy.

[@christinatyler54]

I thoroughly enjoy these videos. The husbandry that it takes to maintain this operation is astounding. Josh did a wonderful job. I can truly tell how much you love what you’re doing. Looking forward to watching more. Wishing you and your family well.✨

[@English-Lass]

Personally I'd love to see the background work. Some forget how much you have to do to maintain such beautiful creatures and their tanks/habitats, thus defiantly not boring.

[@rebeccaaustin1596]

I like watching what you do at OFR no matter what it is. It is never boring to me.

[@Goose00123]

Same 😊

[@ShellsFurrBabies]

I defintely like the maintenance videos like this. For those of us that don't get to be there for the day to day at the rescue. I find it interesting. It helps us all understand all the work that goes on behind the scenes to keep all those fish healthy. Keep up the great work.

[@stevenreis6938]

These type of videos are great. Like to see the chores of fish keeping on y’all’s level.

[@debbieoakes8845]

Good day Bigrich and Josh. Thank you for the vlog. Jerry you coffee cup looks like my tea cup most days.lol😅 You all have a wonderful day. Play safe have fun. 😊😊😊

[@Craig.catfish]

The work that it takes to maintain a place like this is a massive job well done guys ❤

[@windytatom]

There are always new viewers that are new to the channel and we are not board😊

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Thank you

God Bless You And Your Beautiful Family

Happy to see Father and Son in the same Room after Fishy Friday ❤❤❤

[@audrisampson]

Showing the maintenance is great. Need to see how much work you guys put in on cleaning the rescue.

[@surpurr12]

Fish tank work is alot of work. But soooo satisfying when its done. I love my fin kids.

[@danielvelez4001]

Josh knows what he’s doing ❤❤😂😂😂

[@rossdingle6236]

I like this video, shows another part of the maintenance that it takes to run the place.

[@patriciakessans1025]

I really liked this video…I think the behind the scenes maintenance stuff is cool

[@thelmahall2593]

WOW the tank looks so nice without the tiles in it i enjoyed watching Josh, clean and do maintenance on the tank. i think more would be ok too :) everyone does things differently and would show people a different way of doing things

[@lee_1979]

Love seeing behind the scenes

[@msjadeli]

Josh, you make it look easy. Your care in how it is done makes all the difference. Nice you have helpers to make it easier. Jerry your shrimp net joke was funny. Big Rich, not boring at all, I enjoy all the videos especially the running commentary. Happy Monday all.

[@HarshPatel-zj5rm]

Enjoyed the video Rich.. please make more like these..😊

[@davidsmith8997]

I thought it was interesting to see how much the rays avoided using their tails/barbs. I've swam with ocean stingrays, but never with fresh water. So it was interesting to watch their defensive behavior which was entirely swimming away. Busts some of the myths. Poor Reaper must have just had really bad luck!

[@jamesbarnard928]

Better a cleaning video than no videoput Skyler in yer videos thankyou.great job Joshy

[@dixsigns1717]

That tank looks so much better. Thank you for sharing. I liked it!!! Keep it up, please!!!

[@Josh_Rickard]

Great video Big Rich. I love videos like this because your voice along with the water sounds in the background is very soothing and i listen while i work

[@iamthereddevil5561]

Loved the video put some more up like this I'm for one really keen to see the day to day stuff you guys need to do.

[@MeltingCashew92384]

thank you

Excellent video big rich and it was interesting,,great stuff❤️💚👍🇬🇧

Good Morning From Texas Stay Fishy 🐟

[@catzilla90]

Not boring video at all. It was cool to learn more about the sting rays

[@AREA_FIFTY_1]

Mate we love the tours regardless of what you are doing its great to see a family first built aquarium love to you and josh! i wish i had the room for that many tanks lol

[@Chuck59ish]

HEY Josh! You missed a piece of tile! Great video . SFMF!

[@beastfr0meast93]

We love the maintenance video. Now you have a chance to build up a timeline with your fish :)

[@emulove777]

This is a great video, most people don’t have stingrays so I think it’s interesting to see. 😀👍

[@leighord7341]

Love this type off video rich it's all part off fish keeping gives other people tips and ideas aswell

[@butchy68]

A video of cleaning the 58,000 gallon pond and filter would be interesting.

[@gaillamberson7186]

I like to watch whatever you do.

[@jasonblevins8280]

Great video Big Rich I enjoyed it. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@robinmarie5180]

Ray's pup in N.Tampa area, they are stingers. Love this video. Work video's are awesome.

[@angelpossesed2592]

Love you guys ...

[@rayv8185]

I have a 55g and always dred the maintenance days then I watch you guys and all those tanks It makes me feel a lot better. Just curious have you ever thought of maybe doing a little silicone on each tile to hold them down from the rays.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Yea but we change things alot so we never did it but it would help

[@GodisTruth914]

Hell yeah, we like the boring maintenence!!!😂😂😂

[@goldiekoi935]

I remember when you guys were just starting out every year the place just got bigger and bigger. It was already pretty big back in 2018

[@joanneannells2554]

I remember the video with Tracy putting them in ❤

[@TheCodpro27]

Great video!

Jerry's the supervisor!

[@hatfieldjesse7780]

Great video

[@ofthedawn]

I miss everyone being there , doing rescues and hanging out. I don't care about the educational .it's fine. I watch everything you do. What I don't like are the people who seem to disagree with the guy who owns the channel.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Thank you :)

[@MFoster392]

What are the tiles for? That Arawana is so beautiful :)

[@vesawuoristo4162]

They use tiles for decoration. Easier to clean than gravel or sand.

[@simontaylor617]

Great video 👍wouldn't you be better off using a mop the flat 1s to clean the tanks at the front as ur tanks are big 😊 enough to use 1 love watching u guys 👍

[@rathansherigar4527]

Nice video.

[@paulmeadowcroft3383]

we like it more keep doing this

[@junelawrimore9567]

How is the sturgeon?

[@OneStepHomestead]

I personally NEED to see the maintenance and work behind fish...... reminds me why not to just get fish and expect them to thrive on their own. nice to see the whole picture of having fish and not just seeing happy fish

[@HajiAbdullah]

Question: Has OFR thought about lowering rebuilding and reenforcing the aquarium stands. It looks hard getting in and out of those slim tank top spaces and you guys getting older. plus is the height really necessary with such impressive fish ( you guys really rival GA Aquarium) ✊🏿✊🏿

[@mdinatale12]

I can't imagine what the electric bill must be 🤔

[@EvilxYardxGnome]

I believe if you go back to the video where you put these tiles in, there may have been an argument who's better at tile cutting? Who won? Also, I wanna see Jerry in a tank/pool!

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Well dad won of course cuz that's who is replying to you lol

[@dojc65121]

dont think is boring. the maintenace work should be shown. so does who want to get into fish keeping can also see the unglam and hard work needed to maintain the tanks. some people get into.the hobby not prepare for it.

[@Whips_World]

They are called a Sting-ray. I think you're safe in calling it a stinger 😉

[@MeltingCashew92384]

nice

[@esreveresrever2788]

reaper didn't wanna get in there with all the stingrays??? 😂

[@matthewrawson3245]

Best videos got to be honest these kinda videos are why I watch them. Don't want to be rude but I find the skyler ones a bit cringe

[@Yepaquatics]

Chill I love Skylar’s crazy antics ahaha😂😂

[@skylarmiller4636]

I don’t like being in the videos either 😂 so even I’m on your side

❤❤❤ love the video please more ❤❤

I came for the stingray wound and was disappointed.

[@jay.6640]

If the tiles don't work, a roll of Astro Turf. can stick i down with Non-Toxic Epoxy Putty....

[@Juicejunkie409]

Big Rich like I told reaper put up anything we don’t care we support you hundred percent if it’s a video of you taking a deuce in the toilet do it lol but yeah put up any video cause most people don’t know really how big that is and see Josh in there like that I mean you got a lot of doubters onlineso just put up any video who cares what it is do you love you guys keep up the good work

[@stevenmotchan2048]

@@English-Lass Did he say most people don't know how big they are?

What's the size of tank

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

2200 gallon

[@Buddy69.]

🤟⭐🤟

[@saltnessmonster]

I loved the old tiles in the tank. I think black tiles work as the algae is hard to spot. But those rays just destroy tiles. I miss the old platinum tanks, but that tank is ideal for rays as you can see them and they are show stoppers.

[@izzymaxpower]

Looks awesome, please don’t put sand. Good job

[@Whips_World]

I'm with ya on bare bottom tanks. It's almost never a good look.

[@gabriel-bl4ckh4wk-6]

Yeah, not gonna lie, very boring for me too, but, i give it a check and a like to help, i do my very small part to help OFR.

[@IamNothing82]

Can't you record once per week another tank for about a half hour. Just place your camera on a stand and record, you don't have to say anything. I would watch it! Greetings from the Netherlands.

I've tried but the video does terrible

[@MysticSpank]

you understand that there are videos showing people playing video games, videos of people watching videos, and video of people taking things out of boxes, right? Watching tiles come out of a tank with rays tops those.

[@heleninglis9961]

[@patrickklima8152]

Love the videos got stupid question you don't worry about contaminating tank getting in tank Josh this is one of my fears

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Not at all

[@puirYorick]

Please stop telling your viewers how boring you think it is while recording the content. There is such a thing as being too plain-speaking. If you find it tiresome to find something to say then select a signature OFR elevator-music track from YT and dub that over the entire segment once you do your intro. This sort of stuff first brought me to the OFR channel. The other clear options are to cut back on the upload schedule or, to give yourself a break, let someone else be the camera operator for the stuff you don't like.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Dude your all wrong here I said I thought this kinda video is boring. And you ALL said it's not, so ill keep doing this kinda video

[@puirYorick]

@@ohio-fish-rescue I think I understood the situation perfectly fine but I don't want to upset you or cause you *more burden* for OUR sake. Which is why I made two alternate suggestions there. You obviously have a lot on your plate 24/7/365 without making the kind of video you find "boring". SFMF

[@chrisdef15]

Of course rays don’t want to hurt themselves by stabbing someone. But plenty of history of them doing it. These are fairly tame rays who have spent plenty of time around humans. This video is 50/50. People need to know they aren’t scary. But people need to know they can mess you up. Mess around like this with wild ones in murky water things might be very different.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

I have swam with over 50 rays in the ocean. They don't bother you. The problem is they're buried under the sand you don't see them , and then you step on them and you get hit , that's the only time they attack

[@harrytaylor8979]

That tank looks 4ft deep or front to bqck. Could be wrong but thwre is 24in tiles too. That would be best. Guarantee they don't move them lol

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Tank os 16 foot long, 6 foot from front to back and 40 inches tall

[@vesawuoristo4162]

Could wear boots in there.
