Catching NATIVE FISH for AQUARIUM

Catching NATIVE FISH for AQUARIUM
Today I will show you how I go about catching wild native fish for aquariums, there are many things you can do with these fish. I normally use the to feed my monster apex predator fish but they are also super fun mini fish to breed for nano aquarium.

Awesome vid man! Just recently bought a couple traps so I can catch a few for the Bass... hopefully save my pockets a few dollars lol! Can't wait to see what you catch in the other trap! 🤟🎣🤟

[@UnconventionalAquatics]

Haha yes it’s definitely a big money saver when you have fish that like to hunt! I appreciate you watching brother👊🏻

[@spicyy2843]

“Let’s give it 5 more minutes” “Alright guys, it’s been a couple hours…” That right there is the story of my life

[@roxannetellini3134]

When I was a little girl I had two pet garter snakes. Every Saturday my dad would drive me down to a local canal and we would catch mosquito fish to feed them.

[@francesdumaliang6132]

You have a cool father!☺️

[@Bodangers]

Raised right!

[@Bisonn1572]

That's awesome

[@chiangjacob6477]

I like that he is taking his son fish more dads should do that

[@fathomlives]

Dad of the year right here

[@revr2760]

This guy's a cool dad.

[@Sk9junk]

It’s good that you quarantine your feeders it can keep disease away you should always be putting a tad bit of aquarium salt and it will help them fight disease

[@YungNGB-Brotherhood]

Love the way this man treats his son

[@youngmoney01492]

Sending love from Arizona bro! - Lol I do live in the desert 🌵 I try and make the best of what I got out here , I do have some cool fish my self , good to see you back in action keep up the great work brother 💪🏼

[@aurora_dawn123]

You probably have eastern mosquito fish, least killifish, sailfin mollies, and maybe some minnows and killifish.

[@joshortiz1576]

Love your videos!! When I kept fish tanks I used to catch the same type. Start with a dozen end up with 100s or more lol

[@Jartopia]

Great video! :D Native fish are majorly overlooked imo

[@admiralgoodboy]

All fish are native somewhere

[@atravers349]

I use a baitwell net and scoop it through the weeds. Much more interesting than using a trap.

[@batbrains187]

🔥 thanks... This helped a lot.🔥

[@Rose_A]

Why not just make a tiny hole on the bottom or side of the bottle to let the air out?

[@crc1785]

I’d replace the fish hook with a snap swivel. It’ll hold just as well without the pokey part & most people have them in the same tackle box as hooks.

[@lawdawg_7983]

Keep them videos coming brother! Love it

[@UnconventionalAquatics]

I appreciate the kind words brother👊🏻 thank you so much for watching!

[@clayhannn]

Any concern with introducing parasites to an aquarium?

[@erickborling1302]

I have never observed parasite problems in mosquitofish including those that live in filthy city bayous.

[@humble_haplo]

This is so cool.

[@Random.Adventures.]

cool stuff thanks for the fish trap idea

[@peterock1313]

I catch Texas cichlids from lake mead and give them to my gulpers, saves a lot of money and it’s fun

[@SCUMDOGFISHING]

Thanks for the upload brotha. I'm going to make a wood side pond this season. Just waiting for the weather to break a little more in N.E. Ohio. 🎥🐡🐠🐟👍

Dude nice! You know I’m a pond lover! Especially wood ponds!

Hi Anthony... Love your excursions!! Just popped by to say I've been thinking of you... hope all is well!!!

[@benjaminshrader2112]

👍 love it

[@markdecker2724]

Curious to know, what state is this in?

[@exDFAcharliesmith9035]

Might try dry dog food. Hotdogs cut up into three or 4 chunks.corn flakes. Might try adding jello to the hot dogs and dog food. Kool aid garlic Anise oil vanilla to the baits as well

[@lynxmc5465]

Can we put them in a fresh water fish tank

[@xavierpennerman2238]

I have to do this because I live in the Bahamas no stores to buy saltwater fish

[@user-hv4ff6or1x]

Oh hey btw, do i need fishing license or anything?

[@bigfishlad4847]

Another fantastic update bro cant wait to see what was in the trap

Hopefully something awesome! I’m actually about to go down there now and check!

Cliffhanger 😲

😂😂 wasn’t my intention, but you know as soon as the camera comes out the fish don’t like to play bahaha

[@greenman042]

Info for people: double check your local fishing regulations. It varies state by state. For the most part (again, check - there's always exceptions) you can legally take baitfish east of the Mississippi (Tennessee is a known exception) but westward it gets less and less legal. In pretty much all cases you'll need a standard fishing license to do so. The methods you can use also varies. in some states, trapping is legal. in others, it's not, but you can use a minnow seine (WAY faster anyway!). Quarantining feeders is always a good idea. Some of the small fish are super interesting aquarium fish on their own. Once you've got fish in tanks at home, don't release them back into the wild. Especially if they've been introduced to non-local fish - you never know what ELSE you're releasing to contaminate your local environment.

[@Digitalevolution808]

Hey brother are you in Texas?? I'm visiting from Hawaii for just two days and wanted to check out some rivers or runoffs to see wild native species and aquarium fish

[@yeoldegunporn]

Ah come on. In FL you can fart and find some aquarium fish. Try that where it’s cold

[@Voidz3r]

Awesome video dude! I think I'm gonna try that bottle trap, there's a small river at just 60 meters to my house and it's full of fish... I'm gonna try today. (My English is a bit bad xD)

[@jameandthegiantpeach2273]

... about 60 meters away from your house?...... rotflmao!..😂😂🤣.... that's at least about 7,476 kilometers my guy.. 😅👍

[@Voidz3r]

@@jameandthegiantpeach2273 I don't mean this river.. I don't live in a city and there's just a small river here at my house

[@anthonybieryla6635]

Traps work great but a trout net on a pole is easy to get 600 plus in 30 min. That's what I do to get a bunch of feeder fish in a short time

[@smokingreels4603]

Is the aropima wild caught???…. I’m trying to get ideas fir mine and your aggressive tank is really kool!!

[@afewofmycommentsarecringy.8646]

you mean aripaima? do you want a 3 meter fish?

[@f.e.dassociated9137]

That was an arowana not an arapaima

[@carlosortiz8213]

I hope that beautiful arrowana never sees a flie he might jump out of the tank 🙏

[@shadowkirugaming6738]

How can we adjust wild fish to eat aquarium food flakes?

[@peziki]

It works if you get them as fry. Don't feed them flakes, use pellets that you have crushed in a cup... so they'll sink. I use goldfish pellets and cichlid pellets from walmart. The wild nanos in my tank are about 5 yrs old and size about 3 inches.

[@quaaquatics9416]

Hungry enough they’ll eat anything 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Branttherant53]

Hi God bless all of y'all and always know that God and his son Jesus both love all of y'all in Jesus mighty name I pray Amen.

[@fishingfanaticsuk]

Do you quarantine your fish at l All?

[@quaaquatics9416]

He mentioned it in the video

[@SCFishKeeping]

I'm going to have to make a trap like that and see if I can catch anything up here! That would be a MUCH cheaper way to feed my fish 😂 Also .. biking and vlogging?! You beast!

[@UnconventionalAquatics]

Dude I always gotta live life on the edge you know this😂

[@trailrider6844]

Remember to quarantine them before feeding

[@user-hv4ff6or1x]

Show me how to get free aquarium flowerhorn fish please. (Activate cheat code)😜🤣 Jk awesome vid ill prob try it out at a guppy spot

Me be like 😳 when he end up feeding them to the other fish

[@exDFAcharliesmith9035]

Pour the water into your bucket incase they spill out you don't lose them

Who calls it a "shoulder" of bread?! It's the "End".. or "Crust"... surely.. lol.. Great video though.

[@Lucky83...]

What kind of this nano fish ?

[@peziki]

These are locally called "mosquito fish". Considered a rough fish, freshwater; and related to regular guppies. They breed live babies in proliferation just like guppies. Perhaps they even could be cross bred w/guppies.

[@quaaquatics9416]

@@peziki they cannot. Not related close enough to cross breed

[@85bonsai16]

[@seanwerner7287]

Illegal to do lol😂

I didn’t know it was legal to steal fish from the wild and put them in a tank 😢

There is no need to medicate mosquitofish.
