He Lives Here! The Craziest Home Fishroom (Returning to Ohio Fish Rescue)

I return to my favorite home fishroom, and one with an awesome purpose: The Ohio Fish Rescue. Big Rich takes in fish that have outgrown their tanks (or that can no longer be taken care of) and gives them a home for life. If you missed last year's video tour, you can see it here:

He needs a Patreon! I’d donate monthly.

[@scharliem]

Just cannot wait see that swimming pool converted into a fish lake. How amazing! Your lady can swim with the fish, as long the sharks are peaceful ( well fed) and there are no piranhas...

[@N1khiel]

This video is amazing

Make sure and do an update with the renovation, show tank, and the pool. I'm super excited!!

[@vincentaurelius2390]

You can hear so much kindness in his voice when he talks about that one blind fish "He's a lifer here and we're gonna take care of him".

[@apmgaming6854]

Waaaaat the pool part is crazy..❤ This man is living my dream lol😂😂

[@blueonblueracingnova]

I thought i knew alot about fish . But this guy has probably forgot more about fish in the last 24hrs than i know . What a set up you have some very nice species

[@vincenttitone8776]

Some guys hide their phones so their wife doesn't see what is in it and get mad. Rich hides goldfish in the pool lol Love his passion!

[@JosephKarthic]

+Ohio Fish Rescue Whats the filtration of those big tanks? Whats the *nitrate* levels on these tanks and where are the fish wastes? I couldnt see a single fish waste in any tanks...whats your secret?

[@vasili1207]

Cleaning it's not rocket science

[@JosephKarthic]

my discus is rubbing against some rocks and flicking its tails and fins rapidly sometimes, ammonia 0 , nitrite 0 and nitrate is 5ppm, temp is 28c, ph 7(also does this in ph 6.4) , could it be because of heavy metals found in tap water? I didnt use water conditioner yet, could it be bcoz of that or is it the temp?

[@vincenttitone8776]

ALWAYS USE WATER CONDITIONER WHEN DOING WATER CHANGES. The chlorine in tap water is bad for your fish and will hurt the beneficial bacteria in your system

[@FaceMaster420]

I'm not a fish expert but I watch a lot of aquarium videos on youtube, and these are the healthiest looking fish I think I have seen on here.

[@nickbelkin9180]

This room and his mullet are legendARY!!

[@jdprice2725]

"Just got to talk her into it" is the most fish keeper thing we've all said!

[@gershomtan5879]

JD Price famous last words hahah

[@dieselmonroe]

I’ve said it before, big Rich is an absolute legend. What he does for these fish is unprecedented

[@BenOchart]

Love his enthusiasm and love he has for his fish. Thanks for the update Steve.

[@juliet_burke]

The swimming pool idea! LMAO :))))))) Now that is a fishkeeping on a whole new level! What a cool guy. Thank you for making this video.

[@Flownon]

It always amazes me how pristine the quality of the fish are.

[@WillDeasy]

This place is awe-inspiring. The care for these fish is amazing. Everyone should donate $5 would make a big difference

[@soulsreaper7145]

@Huy Nguyen Ho u know a 40 gallon tank from Petco is only 45 bucks right?

[@chris6054]

That moment you're on a video with.. millions? Of gallons of water, and you call 40 gallons big. I wouldn't even start with anything smaller than a 40.

[@HulklingsBoyfriend]

He's a very kind and gentle person, it's awesome so see someone like that on here.

[@michaeljohnston4167]

Man you can really see this guys true passion especially towards the end when he talks about the pool. Amazing content. 👍

[@salvatoreprofaci9818]

10/10 for rescuing fish. 👍

[@GSP-76]

God bless this man...who would ever start a fish rescue? As a long time fishkeeper, I'm glad there's people like this out there caring for fish.

[@AlpacaButts]

How can you not love Big Rich? Ohio Fish Rescue is awesome!

[@stevesolo16]

It is nice to see someone who recognizes the "spirit" in living things. When fish overgrow the tank they are in, people can't give them away a lot of the time. And living in Ohio, dropping most of these fish into the local lake is a death sentence due to the cold. Fish are fun, but this is more than just feeding a hobby. This is being a purveyor of our humanity and demonstrating all life has a place in this world. Last week I donated a few bucks on your Go Fund Me, and I hope others can see beyond your "wicked" haircut and see the fine example of you "loving all creatures, big and small." Please donate to this good cause.

[@panzerraven4135]

He sounds like a really responsible and caring owner.

[@abadatha]

I saw his back and hair and instantly knew it was Ohio Fish Rescue and Big Rich. He's such a great guy, and the facebook community he runs is pretty upstanding too.

[@danielleczaplenski8769]

Big Rich and his family are truly amazing and kind. My husband surprised me with a tour. They were kind enough to let me into their home. Big Rich I am in the process of putting in a Cichlid tank and would love to purchase baby cichlids from you in the future. Thank you again

[@bigsky445]

I would put my bed right in the middle of all the aquariums & never leave! Omg! So beautiful! !

[@cameronschmit6472]

People often overlook fish, this guy and what he does is awesome.

[@haymaker710]

Big Rich seems like a real stand up kind of guy. The only thing bigger than his heart is his mullet.

[@saltyfresh9712]

Omg the ending!!! Just when I thought Ohio fish rescue couldn’t get any better!!!! Do it RICH

[@douglascunningham6319]

Don't do it Rich or you maybe sleeping with the fishes.

[@ronaldarchibald2506]

Shes going to kick your butt. Turning the pool into a river tank. She comes walking in with her towel and ahhh. Filled with fish. Not going to be a good day for you.

[@lt2784]

You gotta get a dolphin in that pool

[@claudiacespedes7212]

@Ohio Rescue, I want to see a video with Tracy in the pool with the Goldfish!!!

[@claudiacespedes7212]

Ohio Fish Rescue you need to post a video of the pool and Tracy with her goldfish!!

[@fishywishes8150]

Rich is an amazing person!! All his fish look great and the tanks are so clean. Respect.

[@clearwaterbeachhomesearchm5957]

Zim aways in awe when I watch big rich videos

[@elmee96]

This guy is a hero. Awesome

[@twasbrillig33]

Talk her into it RICH!!! I would love to see that, that would be a dream come true.

[@fedoraemelianenko7845]

This guy is a true hero! Can't wait to see the pool turn into a massive pond! AMAZING!!!!

[@peternorth4143]

the fish tank is impressive. But your mullet sir, is glorious. Not only are you the fish king, but you are also the lion king with that Mufasa mane.

[@garysanders2008]

2 years later and now he’s the tiger king 😂😂😂just playing all love

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

Those platinum alligator garr are just stunning

[@mattunes5823]

That cichlid tank is absolutely gorgeous.

[@lukebeard9373]

I would say he should put a large sheet of plexi glass across the deep end of the pool, then the wife and soak in the shallow end and see the fish through the glass! So it would be like half a fish tank and half a pool.

[@arnoldmayii3563]

I like that idea

[@soundtherapy1267]

and when there got a leak anywhere,the fish on the other side will die because of the high chlorine content......

[@rebelgirl711]

@@soundtherapy1267 hes not chlorinating it though..

[@ecrater1junkie155]

Swimming with the fishes is more fun.

[@berlinaquaristikundangeln3742]

yeah i would definetely keep themm apart

[@ProducerMaki]

Ohio Fish Rescue should do a 24/7 live stream, I'd definitely be watching!

[@zztalk646]

Big Rich, if you ever read this, just know: Bless your heart, and your love and compassion for aquarium fish. It looks to me that all of the fish big and small in your care are happy, healthy and comfortable. It's people like you that give me some hope in knowing that there are still people out there who think of the care for the fish first, before the owner themselves. I work in a pet store and help manage our fish department, and for 4 long years I've seen some pretty large fish come and go, and tend to wonder if they're still in good hands up to this day. In the past I've seen some fish in pretty sad predicaments when it comes to improper housing, and we need more thoughtful people like you in the world to correct this wrong, and thank you for all that you do for the aquatic critters who can't help themselves. (:

[@mohammedameerahmed2250]

1000 gallon .... simply amazing..

[@aleksanderzbikowski4886]

Big Rich is a total unit

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Always love seeing the Ohio Fish Rescue updates! How awesome would it be if he made the pool a giant fish pond! Woohoo!

[@henriksen4]

'So amazing how he knows the species, age, health status, background info of every individual fish, not to mention their names of those that have one. Imagine the wealth of knowledge in this man's brain, combined with his love of each fish in his care! Go Rich!

[@512TURNER]

Love your set up. But buddy let your wife keep her pool im sure she already puts up with ALOT! Build another pool/creek dedicated for your big fish. that way you can do whatever you want with it, and both you and your wife are happy. Happy wife happy life.

[@FLIPMODE630]

He loves fish so much he even has a hair cut named after a fish !!

[@wishiwassleeping2829]

Big Rich is the quintessential "fish guy". He has the look, the knowledge, the passion and his love of the fish is obvious. Nothing but respect for him!!

[@MichaelEugenio]

Every time you go there it is such a treat to see this place . Excellent update

[@StevePolandAquatics]

Thanks buddy. You gotta see it in person sometime.

[@dereks3207]

i can only imagine what a power outage is like in this house.

[@Rexwizord]

A generator

[@BBoy-uj1kb]

He is so nice and such a great person keep up the good work 😁😁

[@OMFGITSVIKKI]

A passion for fish and incredible forgotten hairstyles.

[@anacarolinareyes8213]

Lol, he has tanks inside pools. He has such a big heart I’ve never really heard of fish rescues.

[@FreeSwimmer]

Unbelievable Devotion ! "PASSION", I am really amazed !! Great Stuff !!!

[@Cool4cake]

This is heaven on earth

[@jton1]

Wow everything is so well laid out. For having so much it looks so well kept. Beautiful job by the rescue team

[@Hanibaltherogue]

This Dude is so cool and nice, you can see how he really loves what he does!

[@aprilgraver8023]

It's so cool that there's a place like this for these fish!! He's pretty amazing for doing this

[@Latnman101]

Big Rich sounds like such a fun person to know.

[@ReeferGil]

He has fish longer than my tank. So crazy cool!

[@danielmarinov3560]

This guy's an absolute Legend! Fish are healthy and well fed, and water looks pristine. Most people can't even keep a 10 gallon guppy tank looking this good.

[@frankiea3752]

So much passion , I Love it! Pure awesomeness. Wish I had this going on in my house

[@judam1278]

Go for it rich make that pool into a reality...can’t wait to see the end result 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love n hugs from Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@chriswardmusic]

Crazy dude! his wife must be pulling her hair out lol Beautiful tanks, fish and setup reqlly impressed, must cost an absolute fortune to run and maintain, thanks for the upload and greetings from the UK!

[@gungfupandapunz2685]

This is my dream house instead of multi million luxury houses!

[@makiarn777]

It just blows my mind that this guy has all this time, money and energy to deal with all these fish tanks! Food, electricity, water changes, heating. Not to mention if one gets sick! Absolutely outstanding the work he puts into them and he has tanks he hasn’t cleaned and brought into his space yet!!! Wonder what he use to do for a living? Is he ever gonna stop adding more? Doubt it! Bravo!! Kudos to you!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. You should let your wife keep her pool! I mean you still got the tanks outside that need to be installed.

[@VitalBeginning]

Huge respect for his commitment he gives to all of these fish he rescues. Especially how he keeps the named ones. I did notice at 9:50 he said there is no south american cichlids, but there when there are convicts, firemouths, and a geophagus.

[@shmrgle]

I was thinking the same thing, especially about my respect for the work he is doing, but the ctenopoma is definitely not a cichlid... Still, he's managing thousands of gallons of water. I lose track of what I have in just 9 tanks.

[@D.P.MorrisConstruction]

He looks like a strait beauty !

[@DeBoswachter]

Holy moly that fish swimming pool made my head spin! Crazy awesome!!

[@funnysht5093]

Gotta respect that guy for all the good proper care for the fish

[@slix05]

LONG LIVE BIG RICH!

[@Cheeseit05]

With all those fish the best one in there was the mullet what beauty, so big and thick.

[@omenar77]

This guy is living in MY DREAM HOUSE !! Respect to this guy, I hope his river/pool project will work out.

[@boogeymanb3748]

Great aquariums, and a swimming pool inside the house...hello from Los Cabos México.

[@martinchandler8306]

Rich is a legend for the dedication and care he puts into making those monster fish as happy as possible in an aquarium.

[@Clegane90]

Wonderful!! Big props to them!!

[@maniatikoleal]

I love OFR. I rewatch every once in a while their videos, he is such a great person to do this for the animals! If he can accomplish the indoor pond its gonna be a homerun, imagine swimming with your arapaima (hopefully she doesnt bite your toes). Thanks for the video Steve!

[@pokefusion746]

Love this guy! Great guy. Thanks for the video Steve!

This guy is nuts! I like him.

Yes!! He's turning the pool into a pond now!

[@lcsings7551]

That was one of the most amazing things I've seen. I just want to be his friend and hang out there everyday. It's amazing gave me something to aspire towards. I want to go big one day. Gonna have to ease the wife into it. And it's going to take some time, but "GOALS!!!!!" for sure!!!

[@FLATLINE_PICTURES]

Wow! Just wow!

You can just tell how Big Rich loves his animals. Go big Rich!!

the great barrier reef just called ............ they want their fish back! ha ha i love this guy!

Half the time I keep thinking that I would eat that. Love river fishing.

This place is amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us Steve.

[@BriceTooNice]

never thought id watch a 20 minute video about fish in a tank

[@ryanrubio8603]

This guy is a saint

[@tifu678]

I have no words. Stunning! And if your wife allowed all this, I’d suggest to leave the pool for her. I am bracing myself for a battle just wanting to double my 75 gallon tank, so dude, count your blessings!

[@dr5820]

Haven't seen this guy since Flip aquatics did a video there. He has loads more since then! What a guy! And wow, just wow.

[@dianissepena3403]

This is dedication!!
