[@puirYorick]

Based on the big-bellied grey blue gill and the streamlined bass with that racing stripe on his side I'd call the pair of new pets Smokey and the Bandit. It kinda also follows the law & outlaw theme of the earlier pets.

[@michaelmosley254]

yeha fr i like it smoikley for the spotted bass and he has spoots and smokey cause also the bluegill is dark to and he is very fast

[@Soap_Star]

Apollo & Rocky for the Bluegill and Bass would be my vote for the new names. The Crimson Oak Pond series has to be one of the most interesting projects being documented on KZbin, thanks for sharing your journey!

I’m an avid bird watcher and wildlife bird photography I love seeing this amazing ecosystem you have made. Not only for the fish and dear but the birds you are bringing in are amazing. I’m excited to see all those plants blooms it will increase the species of birds you’ll see on your property!

[@phiillzzz807]

Hey Bama, just wanted to point out something on your new 75 gall tank. Those plants are java ferns and they are starting to yellow, meaning they aren't getting nutricion. Those plants aren't meant to be planted into the substrate. the roots stick and grow on the exterior like a rock ornament or something else. cheers from ontario canada!

For the bass and blue gill I like the names Comet and Midnight! Also love the planting of sunflowers; that would make a nice name for something… maybe a deer?!

[@paulaj6177]

The first thing that came to mind when I saw them together was Ebony and Ivory. Very interesting seeing all the wildlife around the pond. Thanks!

You should totally have a livestream Camera from the pond or cabin. Would be awesome to watch all the time

[@shaynolds94]

[@duanemiller5606]

Well how about Smokey and the bandit the bass being the bandit of course. Had a kind of a silly thought, I think I’ve heard you said something about building a second smaller pond up by the cabin. What if you connected that small pond via a long creek bed that you would line with plastic and fill with stone along with extending the creek bed out beyond the other side of the small pond and effectively make yourself a wetland’s or bog filter out of your creek bed and the smaller pond could also be part of it. You effectively have a wetland’s/bog filter already on your pond at your home which is why that pond water tends to stay clear even if it gets all muddy it up in a really bad storm. When you pump the water up to the head of your creek bed and let it trickle down through all the gravel and rocks and plants they absorb the nutrients waste from the fish and filter out dirt leaving you with nice clear water. You could effectively do the same thing for your big pond and not have to worry so much about chemicals to maintain it. Also if you ran that creek bed along the hillside going a crossed The pond it would work as a catch basin that would redirect the water through your bog filter instead of let it keep running all the way down into the pond carrying all the dirt with it. Then you would have less water in the area between your creek and your pond to cause as much erosion.

[@austin_trulove]

I think that the best names for these fish would be Smokey and the Bandit, Smokey being the bluegill because of the dark colors. I think think that these fish will grow up to be a good pair.

[@stubby8663]

I love how everything has turned out so far at the pond. It's so nice seeing all the Wildlife around there. Have you considered running a 24 hr live cam for us to watch ? Maybe one on the Deer feeder & another one just somewhere you know there is a lot of movement of various animals. It would also be a good way to keep an eye out on the place. Enjoyed the video as always and Thank you from Oklahoma.

[@austinseal1138]

I think a cool nickname for the bass and bluegill would be Salt & Pepper !! Pepper ( bluegill ) darker color , Salt ( bass ) lighter color. Really enjoy the farm and pond, great videos !!!

You should name the bluegill Yin and the bass Yang! The characteristics of each fish fit the 2 concepts pretty well :)

[@heatherbrantley2105]

I think something like "Flint" would be a good fit for the pet blue gill because of how dark it is and how it kind of looks like an arrowhead made of flint. Love the colors of the new bass! Something like "Opal" or "Sterling" would be go well with its coloring. Always love your videos and being able to be apart of your pond adventures!
