[@mandybell5727]

There is NO EXCUSE for you to explain yourself! You are a Rescue! It's not about looks and entertainment! It's about the fish! I'm extremely grateful that you share your rescue and well seasoned information with us!!

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

I appreciate that!

[@bryanjennings7410]

Big Rich, I understand why you are angry. That being said, most of us know you are stretched to the max by the rescue and being a caregiver. I, for one, appreciate that u and Josh allow us insight into the rescue and your care of the fish. You are just a working stiff like the rest of us! The true hobbyists love you and Josh. Easy to judge others from the armchair brother. Keep us the good work Rich

[@laurielefebvre2719]

Agree, he's got a lot on his plate! Too bad I'm in FL, not Ohio, I'd lend my marine Biology talents. Arms not long enough!

[@TheLittleHomestead]

It's really amazing how such a large fish can just up and disappear (visually). Just goes to show how their coloring can be such good camouflage. Also, as someone who is in the process of producing a podcast that I hope will grow legs pretty fast, I appreciate your position on liking/hearting comments. You've got your hands full as it is. I don't know how you could possibly answer every comment on the YT channel, FB, etc.

[@Vincent-fs2ng]

Don’t pay attention to the few who always have something to complain. They suck the energy out of you and you have waaaaaay better things/people to put your energy in. Anyone with a little bit of interest in, or knowledge about fish can see that your fish are in perfect condition and live their lives with the space and care that most fish can only dream of. Keep up the good work big man 💪🏻 greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@timgarner1957]

Haters gonna hate..love the channel. Keep up the good work..

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Thanks, will do!

[@matthewzito6130]

1) I might occasionally ask about a fish, but I wouldn't assume the worst, much less accuse you of lying. Some people are just looking for a fight. 2) The fact that you have to search for individual fish is a good sign. It illustrates that your fish have both space and cover. ... It's like the difference between seeing a tiger in a bare steel and concrete cage in the bad old days, and seeing a tiger in a large, modern zoo exhibit.

[@dorahuff7697]

You guys just keep doing what you're doing. I'm 61 years old and I absolutely love watching your videos.

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Thank you! Will do!

[@donc5519]

Rich you are inviting us into your home to see your aquariums and your fish, you don't owe anybody a explanation about anything you do. I am just glad you allow us to watch it. Keep up the great work and thank you.

[@adler819]

I haven’t seen one video of you guys cutting the grass at OFR. How do I know your grass is even growing!? 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Good question!

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Lol

[@EZD856]

Don’t stress about trolls. Keep up the good work. Some people have nothing else more important to do unfortunately than assume things through clips of you showing us your awesome collection.

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Well said!

[@BlackHammerProd]

You're doing more than most youtubers do for their fans already. Stop making yourself feel guilty. What you're doing is more than enough. Many people live sad lives, and love making others miserable, in order to make them feel better about themselves. Ignore the trolls. Ya'll are awesome. - Fan from Sweden

[@raymondluckman772]

People seem to forget that this is a private home

[@kellywalsh6735]

Rich you do not owe us or anybody an explination. You guys are kickin your own butts enough funning that place everyday. And I may be a nobody but personally I believe yall are the coolest folks Ive ever seen! I love yall, please dont let the haters stress you out.

[@spacecowboy107]

Big Rich keep on doing what you do well. You always update the fish and tanks as you go around. Watching this video it's easier to find Waldo than a 6 foot pima and a 3 foot pima as they just disappear in the monster pond ! Don't let the haters get to you. You're doing a great job there 🙂

[@chevyfish4028]

It is amazing to see how you took a home and converted a major space into a new home for rescue fish. It is a huge undertaking and endless time and work to maintain. Those of us who know what all is involved in this hobby can truly appreciate your dedication to such a needed niche for these fish to have a proper, comfortable, lifetime home. Thank you for all you do for this hobby, these fish and bringing awareness across the globe to the plight of fish which grow too big for the average home aquarium.

[@annemarieacosta8775]

Block the abusive people. You and Josh are very transparent about what's going on at OFR. No one has time to deal with people like that. Love that Tiger fish.

[@djgremlin5830]

i asked about bruiser the other day and was answered genuinly as far as i was concerned . i asked not to incinuate anything but just because i hadnt seen him for a while anybody that doesnt accept your explanations to any questions is a tool dont rise to them .. bless you all at OFR

[@stevenmotchan2048]

You need to make a tee shirt: (on the front) Where's Bruiser? (on the back) In the pool!

[@johngotti5187]

Don’t explain yourself Big Rich ur doing a good job ppl he is busy with the rescue and most important big rich is taking care of TRACY AS WELL look at the bigger picture…hello ppl

[@bb0123]

Heres a thought Its SO peaceful to watch these fish swimming around Thier not arguing,complaining or getting riled up over this,that n the other Hows about the irritable ppl take heed from our fishy friends, Gliding through life peaceful,happy and content. OFR youve got alot of us supporting what ya'll do Im definitely one if em. 💕🤗🤷‍♀️ Debi in California

[@jasonfuller9343]

Big rich don't know why you feel you have to respond to the haters and naysayers just leave them be no matter what you say they're still going to be the same people they are unless they want to stop. We appreciate all that you guys do

[@nicolenicolerson5200]

You guys are one of the most honest and transparent youtube channels on here. Please ignore people who troll or accuse you, if they would just watch the videos as they come, the answers to most of their concerns will come out....I watch them all and I've never had a question in my mind that you guys didn't answer in an upcoming video. Love you guys

[@rlee1068]

you don't need to explain anything to anyone Rich, F them.. just continue doing what your doing 👍

[@ronrich1815]

Thos people can hide behind a keyboard. They would never say those things to your face Big Rich. Dont give them happiness by letting them know it upset you. You content on fish is some of the best online. Stay Fishy my friend, we need you!

[@spambotful]

Wtf?! Do people not understand how much work goes into what you guys do?! So what if everything isn’t perfect all the time, the fish are well looked after and that’s all that matters. Some people have too much time on their hands 😳 keep up the good work you guys do a great job.

[@claywise43]

Stressing about the morons is bad for your blood pressure! 😂. Ignore the haters and keep doing what you do! Those of us who truly support you will be here watching.

[@Coyne.Wilcox]

Bruiser is getting such amazing color! It’s amazing how well they camouflage with their environment. The only way I was able to spot them was when I saw their color on their tails.

[@keithking6567]

Don't give the haters your time or energy, they waste your time and ours ! You guys do a great job ! I have been following you guys for three years !

[@rossdingle6236]

You can't please everyone, and you will go crazy trying. Just keep doing your thing, most people just happy to follow along and see what you guys are up to.

[@edwinmontalvo2283]

Big Rich. Why worry about the whinners. Just keep doing the great job u guys do man. You dont need to answer me brother u have more important things to do!

[@ssp4512]

Big Rich, don’t let the morons get you down. I have 3 six inch Discus in a 40 gallon tank. Some days it takes me 10 minutes to find one. You guys are amazing 🤩 👍🏻.

[@Alexander-mc7pv]

Dont spent Time to the Haters, they will hate anyway! Stop apologizing for anything, life is to short to care about negative People! We love you anyway Rich! Keep going on everything is fine! 👍

[@richardpeatfield4497]

I’m getting/making you a sign that you can put in the fish room to remind you every day. STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS. By you addressing them feeds them don’t play their games Big Rich you’re better than that and them. My two cents. 🙏✌🏻

[@amx1820]

I believe people with negative comments are not regular viewers, you guys share everything in your rescue, literally

[@evanclark1745]

I've been a fan of your videos for years-don't let the trolls bother you. You are a good man.

[@rufufuwho]

they are master of disguise! sometimes they are there and most of the time they are not. LOL 😂

[@Goose00123]

I’m going to be the master of disguise 🥸 😊

[@rantsandreviews]

I understand your frustration....but going on and on about it just feeds the trolls. Just ignore the losers and do your thing. Your true fans appreciate what you guys do.

[@herdouacheng05]

Don't worry about what negative things people say. You guy's been awesome taking care of all these fishes and such an inspiration to me. I definitely want to do something like a rescue like this in the future as well.

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Thanks so much

[@adventureswithmikey1812]

There’s so much one person can do in one day buddy and hopefully you guys have a better week ahead bud

[@kenwendt9353]

I’m recently retired from law enforcement. If there’s one thing I know for a fact, is that you can’t please everyone!! Big Rich you guys keep doing what you do and enjoy the real fans. The drama seekers are just that, they’re only miserable in their own lives so they try to bring someone else down who’s doing well! Us true fans appreciate everything you and you family/team do!!

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Thank you for your service :)

[@arkaquatics9187]

Big Rich, you don't need to explain yourself. Just keep doing what you do and let these trolls be they will always find something to complain about.

[@jamessutton3513]

Thanks for the update Big Rich I've been looking forward to an update on BRUISER he's one of my favorite fish you have I can't wait till he's 6 ft.

[@chadhaley9760]

First time commenting you got me back in the hobby keep doing what you're doing it's amazing

[@anthonyflores5256]

My wife and I love your videos. Keep up the good work. Pay less attention to the negativity. People will always find something to complain about. Don’t let the negativity ruin the general happy feel of your content.

[@obgfoster]

I haven't seen my favorite blue cichlid lately. You know the one that is true blue and swims from side to side in the Bellagio tank? He likes to eat, too. I haven't seen him. I hope he's okay. 😉

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Lmao. Now that's a great reply :)

[@TheJayceonmoney]

😂😂😂😂 I’ve been looking for that fish as well !!

[@marvinzabie9475]

Big Rich, Josh and the rest of the Ohio Fish Rescue need more support not negatively. They have taken care of my fish and turtle because the manager of where I now live will not allow me to keep

[@megamills150]

i don't know why people think a fish died if they don't see it for a while and you shouldn't have to make a video on it we all know how much you care for the fish and if one was to die I'm sure you would tell us about it in your own time anyway keep up the great work 👍🐟👊💯

[@shanna1534]

Hello Big Rich. Thank you for sharing with us today. If I had a YT channel and there were people in the comments constantly being negative I would hide them from the channel so they can't comment anymore. At least for a while. Give them a nice timeout. At 2:19 Brutus is comaflouged perfectly over the slate rocks. Bruiser looks tiny in the pool lol. Sorry you have to deal with this. Hope everyone has a great day! ❤️

[@rossrichards912]

Hey Rich, no need to explain, You and Josh do an amazing job and your always so transparent with the operation of OFR. I'm impressed with your filtration system, water circulation system and your collection of fish, I've leant a lot from you guys. Keep up the good work, from Australia

[@phoenixfirebird1033]

Sorry to hear that, i know that you do what's best and you have alot of fishes to cover so not possible to show all fishes all the time Appreciate you for still doing the work you do :))

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Thank you

[@masquerade9605]

Jeez Rich the size of those aquariums and pools, I’m surprised you don’t lose sight of more fish. People need to chill. Don’t feed the trolls this is the stuff that gives some people enjoyment. They like to upset you because they are getting a reaction. Continue to do what you do. 😊

[@dimstamat]

KZbin is full of trolls, Rich. You should just ignore them and not waste your energy on this! Keep doing what you’re doing man!

[@jasonwalker6253]

Rich.....stop,take a breath and give Tracey a hug and relax.... The only one you answer to is God so dont let what they say bother you. Your work is a model for keepers of all levels and should be proud. Take care brother , God bless

[@alexstromberg5865]

I love how whenever he can't find the fish I see them on the camera 🤣 it's funny gotta love watching him always

[@andrewholland800]

Big rich keep doing what your doing. You josh and everyone at OFR doing an amazing job. I love your videos and content. You take great care of your fish and thats the main thing. If people don't like your channel they can leave. I've been watching your videos the past 4 years and never let me down, really enjoy them. Much love to Tracey i hope shes doing OK. 👍

[@zac71418]

I love the African cichlids in the pool! It's like a natural lake where all size fish live amongst eachother. My fish are jerks and wouldn't allow smaller fish to live with them lol

[@CARNEY181]

I really enjoy the variety of videos you all put out. You work hard and are very generous. Remember everyone they are dedicating their lives to rescuing fish and other animals. It is admirable and a life of honor if ask me.

[@SebastianSimonDE]

This is an OFR appreciation comment that absorbs all the negative comments.

[@brendapatterson7123]

The planted 150 a " lively little tank" 🤣 Struck me as funny. My BIG tank is a 75.

[@snowleopard1831]

Let people go off, who cares. Some people can't be happy unless they're bothering someone. Don't let them get under your skin. You guys are doing a great job, don't let the pickers bother you.

[@shrisheel]

Good to see Bruiser hale and hearty. thanks for the update.

[@ericmontoya3447]

Rich.. We love ya man. And you guys go way above and beyond for your animals. And help people to Rehome fish. You give out so much to people who can't afford to get things needed to keep there fish. And you guys don't go out of your way to profit on anything that you guys can. Witch I would not blame ya if you did. People still act like you sell things your not. It just don't have a end. Some people will choose to be petty and ugly. You guys have good ones that have your back. #Salute

[@stevesmith1894]

Keep up the great fishkeeping guys!! And the worst thing you could do is keep giving these haters a platform. Big Rich you literally have multiple videos complaining about the haters. Your literally letting them win.

[@cun.t]

People will always hate for this or for that just enjoy yourself and don't bother so much about those haters stay positive, much love for your hard work❤️🙌💪

[@jeremysimmons6969]

I can say from experience that you do read and listen to every single comment even if you don’t respond last year I asked what was going on with the alligator snapping turtle and the next video you guys posted you did an update on him. You guys are always great

[@petereinhardt]

You do good rich, and I never knew people would be so kooky to create a conspiracy that the fish had died. How RIDICULOUS lol

[@barrypritchard2306]

You do what you do Rich. You don't owe anybody any explanations. Even if you did everything perfectly in line with their demands, they'd still bitch. I appreciate everything you do, and am thankful that I get to see and follow along. I hope someday that I can manage half of what you've accomplished. You guys are heros in my eyes.

[@mattlewis5472]

I've been watching your videos for about 4 - 5 years now. You guys have always been transparent with what's going on. Don't worry about the nay sayers. Some people are just jealous, and you guys have lives. You get to things when you get to them. Keep up the good work i love what you guys do. Hopefully I'll make it to see it in person some day. I live in Joliet Il so it's a bit of a haul

[@hellish19821]

I appreciate you Your fish always look so healthy and happy😍

As usula,l a big salute for what your doing for this animals.

[@janmargelowskyakacrittermo1101]

Rich, PLEASE don't let the idiots stress you out. Some people are just nasty and try to stir things up. By giving them airtime they see it upsets you and they think they won. Focus on your TRUE fans, delete the negativity. Ignore the idiots, lower your stress, don't give them satisfaction. Your TRUE fans know you do your best and commend you for all you do! Stay fishy, my friend! 🥰

[@Kay12111]

Thank you for addressing the concerns of those vocal fishy friends.

[@audrisampson]

Gotta love how people are experts on fish they probably never have seen in person. Big Rich all you can do what you think is best for the fish. Some people have nothing better to do then start crap on the internet. They aren't worth your time at all. Those are some really nice Phillipean Blue Angels! Great coloration on them.

[@joandeleon7627]

You guys do an awesome job, don't let the negative voices drown out the 99.9% positive ones. Loving the community tank, could you give like the specific amt to dose for blackbeard...you may have said it but I might not have gotten it. Is there any way also to get rid of the stringy green algae. I keep cleaning it off but it keeps coming back, I even cut down the intensity of brightness of my lights. Big Rich, you and Josh, Jerry, Skyler and Reaper and all the other helpers that help Reaper on rescues do an awesome job! Man Brutus and Bruiser can sure hide! It was so funny when they tried catching the cichlids!!

[@cheeseburgero1]

16:33 i love community tanks never had it any other way. looks good even with the black beard algae

[@h.p.stephens988]

Big rich, I love ya dog. Can’t let the negativity get to ya. However I will say, I respect you so much and your old school ways of not letting anyone talk trash, keep that shit up but don’t ever let it get you down. You should be damn proud of what you have made, and we are proud of you.
