EASY Fish Pond Setup for Native Fish!

[@justinvillalva7782]

I just put this (maintaining fish tanks) into perspective and realized that your hobby takes a ton of work! You must have put so many man hours! Thank you for sharing.

😂 It does take a little bit of maintenance!

This video changed my life. I just got a 4 red eared turtles 1 albino and became attached to all and do not want to give any away. This is the answer ...thank you for posting and your video ...AND YOUR creating a filter VIDEO was A++ thank you for your help as this helps me out ALOT

[@SCFishKeeping]

Thank you!! I'm glad to hear it was such a helpful video!!

[@hump1201]

Like the catchphrase! Also like the fish room. I have a 20 gallon with a betta and some minnows, a roughly 2k gallon pond I dug with a largemouth and bluegill my son caught and a perch I caught, and a 110 gallon feed trough with a bunch of goldfish that i feed to the bass. Do not have the room/opportunity for a fish room like yours, so keep up the great work! It's fun to see what you're doing down in that basement of yours!

Honestly this man care for his fish wayyy better than the Joey dude, rawfishing and catchemall so please, I beg you never do the same crap that they’re doing. Do it like Rod and the king of DIY. You maybe not have as much views and money but at least you’re doing good things for the animals. Also I’m guessing the big fish you’re getting is a redtail because to many people keep them without knowing they will grow into giants in like 6 months but since you said nati e and I’m sure you’re not in the amazon then maybe a gar?

[@Portnowthrifts]

I agree

[@justsomeguy1230]

Those guys just do the pool pond shit for attention, not as a serious hobby which is sad because they had some good ideas at first and cool fish. That's why I like this channel, simplistic but functional.

I like that "every fish is a keeper." Just the other day I went to PetSmart looking for some catfish. They didn't have the specific species I was after, but they did have three otocinclus. One of them did not look good in their tank and I was worried about losing him if I brought him home. Not even 48hrs in my tank, and he's already looking perfectly healthy, if a little skinny.

Another question.. until i can come up with the funds for my pond, i want to make a smaller one for on my deck. The stock tank im looking at is 110 gallons. Can you help me pick out right pump and filter for this, maybe something cheap on amazon? I definitely want a slight over kill with the filter as I am going to do goldfish or baby koi. When i get my larger pond in the ground-prob next spring they will be moved into it. this is just because im impatient and dying for a pond and it will be brought in for the winter. Tyvm.. i have watched a few of your videos and am definitely subscribing and hitting that bell!

[@EyezLikaFox̌]

Oh.. i already subbed! :)

[@lawdawg_7983]

Sweet! I definitely wanna set one of those bad boys up

[@DyslexicYoda]

In my opinion you should change out your pool pond for a stock tank. The reason why is because you have a billion years with the stock tank, where as the pool pond is only good for a few and the darker color of the stock will make your fish look better. Totally dig your work. Appreciate ya brother.

[@SCFishKeeping]

I agree! I've actually considered swapping that pool out for 2 more of these tanks. They're awesome!

Damn it’s like Christmas morning seeing an SC video in my recommend!!! Be careful keeping yourself musky with tank mates, especially catfish. I lost my last musky because he tried to eat a channel cat that was nearly the same size. Problem was the catfish spine got caught in its Gill so it couldn’t spit out the catfish and perished. Sucks too, bc I just got home too late to save him by minutes. Can’t wait for more vids. Do one on a big filtration set up for pool pond. I’m setting one up soon as I can finish painting my basement.
