I had a feeling this was going to happen…😢 RIP. I remember when you had two arapaima and the first past. Life is full of pain but its a blessing at the same time have seen Big Bertha get so large. You’re an awesome guy Blake, you’ll-learn from this and be even better. Every lose you take, you grow twice as much the next time. Just watching you recover and prosper from the barn burning down i know you will overcome any obstacle. 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV

[@doloresniland5580]

You are so right man 😢

[@lizarrrdbeth]

Omg... I literally gasped out loud. I loved Big Bertha! She was amazing! Thank you for sharing her story with us. She will never be forgotten. My love for Arapima started with her!

[@edwardna8849]

Rest In peace Bertha, you were a beautiful fish, & you were absolutely gorgeous.

[@allegro65]

I'm so sorry Blake. I know you're going to question yourself, but you really did do everything you could have done. It's part of the reality of fish keeping as you said. R.I.P. Big Bertha. You were the first, and will always be remembered. 🫂

[@magiegerman6505]

Blake I'm so sorry for your loss... I could see how hard it was to make this video and I wanna say thank you for keeping it real for us.... 💯 a lot of creators on here don't! So thank you for that and again sorry for such a tremendous loss and heart break... 💔

[@sulemanibnmoosa]

Sorry for your loss, keep sharing and educating us all on your journey. Much appreciated

[@GodisTruth914]

oh man! I'm so sorry, guys! My heart goes out to you, Blake, and your family. I know yall all loved Big Bertha! A pet is a part of our family, no matter what kind of animal it is. 💜💜💜

[@johnbubbajohnson5630]

I am sorry about your loss. God bless you Blake and your whole family sir.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@wesleyadriaansz6053]

Really sad to see she is gone😢.. Know you did your best to save her to bad it didnt work out😔! Watched you getting here and had her in the tank in your house with the dolphin fish... RIP Big Bertha💔! Arapaima are by far my favorite fish.. Hope you will have a new one in the future🙏🏼! Keep up the good work Blake👊🏼!

[@lisawindemakernorris5454]

So sorry for your loss Blake. Yes, definitely get her mounted or you will regret it. Make a photo collage of her showing from when you got her till now. You can put that near where you display her. Note: rinse that tape measure off too if you haven't already.

[@blazelightwood1637]

Lesson learned you took to long with that tank project those type of fish are very sensitive and stress to the max don't wait till a fish like that gets almost grown and decide to move them do it while their still small

[@oliverobeid8352]

oh god i’m so so sorry blake i know how much you cherished that beautiful fish. i’m sorry for your loss.

[@LoulaGaming]

RIP Big Bertha ! A beautiful fish that only wanted to live a beautiful life, but I guess the fish gods needed her more. She's in a better place now, swimming in gods water.

[@davep153]

Know its just a fish, but kindness and love you showed her is appreciated. Sorry for your loss.

[@Louisiana-made-me]

Seems like once those fish are settled u can't move them cause the stress level gets so high it kills them I watched predatorfins go through the same thing when we moved his

[@rid1coza]

Blake, ignore the commenters who think they know everything, you do fish your way or what ever you think is best for them. If you gonna allow the comments to affect you then you won't be around for long because there is always going to be a group of people offended by what you do, no matter what you do!

[@a.t.nelson1670]

So sorry for your loss. Big Bertha was a legend. We will all miss her. 😢 RIP Big Bertha, Queen of the land of B.E.A.R. 🐟❤

[@kwills3971]

Oh Blake I’m so so sorry for your loss. Sending you tons of love ❤

[@j.p.7272]

I would bring her to a Vet to see what it actually was in order to prevent it in the future. R.I.P. big Bertha.

[@AngelMartinez-vc3le]

My brother I feel your pain just wanted to say rip big Bertha rest well hope your well as well and so sorry she’s gone keep your head up brother I know the feeling so yea love what you do as well and god bless you and your family and animals thanks for showing us your beautiful animals god blesses people like yourself amen brother

[@jerrysmithers1429]

CAN I ASK MAYBE SOME CHEMICHAL IN CONCRETE DID NOT MIX MY BUDDY ASKED ?????

[@Matt_The_Reptifish_Guy]

You should get ahold of Big Rich from Ohio Fish Rescue. They have several arapaima. I’m sure you guys can work something out. You get it worked out and I’ll even help deliver the fish if needed!!!

[@rowena4989]

Why you say cook… that’s just Awful man..

[@alexanderaquariums9220]

I'm sorry for your loss bro love you good luck

[@garygoucher4498]

Feels wrong clicking on the like button for a video with such sad news. So sorry for your loss, Blake. I would suggest having Bertha taxidermied so that she will always be with you and it will remind people that the building is still Big Bertha's Fish Barn. Hang in there.

[@Dylamos]

probably due to uninstablished new environment. You probably should've kept her in the last enclosure until that tank was established and aged for a year honestly.

[@tftcride]

My thoughts exactly. Too early

[@i_dont_like_andrea]

I reckon had more to do with sudden change in water pressure. Being in a pool pond all her life to suddenly being in a extremely deep aquarium

[@Dylamos]

@@i_dont_like_andrea Would've been more apparent week 1 vs over a month later.

[@sharonduvall7286]

I'm so very sorry for your loss! Keeping animals can be so rewarding and sometimes so painful too😢

[@kerithoma1955]

Blake, I am so sorry about big Bertha. She was a beautiful animal and you built her absolutely gorgeous

[@julieheilman2065]

Blake and family....so sorry for the loss of Big Bertha. I do remember when she was in the tank in the house. I believe it was the dinning area. yes have it stuff and mount to the wall of her tank.😢😢

[@DakotaWages-hz7ok]

So sorry for your lost Blake

[@danielleshavik7882]

So sorry for your loss Blake - R.i.P. Bertha

[@jennythompson1128]

Sorry for your loss. Maybe next time you transfer one from the pond to the 4,000 gallon tank, you acclimate it first and lower the water level in the 4,000 gallon tank, then slowly add to the water level over a week or two. That might help. It sucks to lose a loved one. ❤❤❤

[@brandonfaulk3787]

Sorry for your loss

[@Rubenooh8]

sorry for the loss brotha😢

[@mickehaglund4119]

So sorry for your loss.. RIP..😔

[@wilsonkoh2572]

[@debishere9060]

She was a beautiful girl, so very sorry for ur loss..💙💙🙏

[@Hoonmaster5000]

Rest easy big Bertha!! Sorry for your loss brother! Keep on keepin on

[@thnkx]

That is a damn shame. I feel like I was along for the ride watching her grow up. You did a great job, Blake. It is amazing how big you got her to grow. You must have learned so much from the experience while also teaching others. We will all get to see a new edition soon. I'm really sorry.

[@santoroaquatics5038]

[@thepatriot8851]

[@realjamaljeffersontc]

sorry for your loss! good effort! Been a pleasure to watch her growth and your emotions for her!

[@SeanTheVlog]

Damn imagine making a big aquarium for a specific fish just for it to die smh your comeback will be better

[@breonnapeters5974]

So sorry for your loss

[@Camille-ci2fd]

My guy you probably need the filtration Paul cuffaro uses for his 5500 gallon. And maybe something else to push the water around besides just the waterfall.

[@user-qm4lj8om4g]

Sorry for your loss Blake rip Big Bertha Keep up the outstanding work on the Ranch bro 👍

[@tammyschultz3318]

R.I.P. Big Bertha.. My heart breaks for you !! should get her mountain and put up in the galary. Like top the tank between vuying panels something

[@aleshiamaxfield5934]

I'm so sorry for your loss Blake! R.I.P Big Bertha!

[@ozadventureswithky9781]

Sorry for your loss she was a cool fish at least now you have space to get a new one and only have to move it once

[@kerithoma1955]

I am so sorry that big Bertha passed away. She was a very beautiful fish.

[@030glennful]

What a fish can do to a human specially when u band with it! Beautiful well taken care of fish !👌

[@BionicBenny]

Sorry about your loss brotha keep on going the grind don’t stop !

[@yAveragejoe]

Sorry for the loss. Unfortunately, I Suck with fish.😢 Reptiles seem to be my niche.

[@crobbefdfd1946]

instead of shutting off the water fall like OFR suggested you lower the water and increase the waterfall?

[@Life_is_to_valuable]

Sorry for your loss brother

[@SnapeKillsDumbledore2k10]

Let me just cook and eat this animal I raised and cared for. Un fuckin real

[@amberroach7025]

So sorry for your loss Blake big Bertha lived a long life loved by you rest in peace big Bertha 😢😢❤

[@mirtagordillo3486]

RIP Big Bertha stay strong Blake my condolences to you and your family and friends

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Im sorry for your lost

[@paullangdon7118]

So sorry for your loss R.I.P🐟❤️

[@RomanJR20]

You gotta be Kidding me 😢 sorry about the loss brotha ! She was a beautiful fish . She was one of my favorite on this channel 😞

[@alifffffWolf]

😢😮😮 oh man! I dint expected that news... I loved that arapaima

[@miguelbaguyot842]

sorry for your loss

[@R0B__]

RIP big bertha. Dont give up and buy 5 news one in memory of BB.

[@Waytoochildish]

Imagine “caring” about this fish so much that you title your video “How to catch and cook…”

[@rebeccaking6223]

@waytoochildish it is his way of dealing with the loss, making jokes he is planning on putting her on a display

[@Waytoochildish]

@@rebeccaking6223 you can’t try and justify it. Dude is “on the verge of tears” and instead of saying RIP or we’ve lost a good one he put catch and cook. He always does this and pretends like it’s a big deal meanwhile in the next video it most likely won’t be mentioned

[@kellyfarrell8180]

Swimming in Heaven R.I.P you gave her the best life you could I started watching you when she was in the tank in your house God Bless Blake I know it's not easy ❤

[@felitocollado]

most of y’all don’t understand, it’s not only big bertha who’s in that tank. it’s many other fish, without that waterfall there wouldn’t have been any circulation in the tank. there would have been more casualties than just her.

[@hadrian2505]

5:00 this dude said 70 pounds 😂😂😂😂

[@zsworld6609]

Huge lesson learned. They're such large and the same time fragile fish. Such a shame. On to the next one. I'm sure Rod can get you some new ones. what happened to the babies you just bought not to long ago?

[@domzjb5053]

Guess they died

[@WolverineGaming-wk8oh]

Rip Big Bertha 😢❤

[@ricosexon8485]

sorry for your loss...😢 good bye Big Bertha😭

[@jojoguillory7843]

Awww I am so sorry, rest in peace big Bertha!!

[@urbanexoticuk]

Aww no way so sorry for your loss we all loved big bertha 😭

[@johnmasinare1948]

I am so sorry for the loss. Quickly get two more and raise them in that big tank😢😢😢😢

[@sseanwright16350]

Hey Blake I'm sorry for your loss R.I.P big Bertha I would like to see you get another arapaima from Ohio fish rescue they have a whole bunch of them that could be rehomed I think you would be the perfect spot after owning big Bertha so long and you wont have to do much work with them

[@seanbaros-qe1rp]

Sorry to hear about Big Bertha!! Hope you and your family are doing well!! Stay safe and have a nice day!!

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

I’m very sorry for your loss Blake.

[@FshLyf1]

So sorry Blake, I think we all kinda knew but hoped for the best. You did everything perfect. Let's grow a new one out!! You still have cool fish!

[@wilsonkoh2572]

RIP BIG BERTHA! 😭 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Blake, I think it is time to let Tyler do a Big Bertha tattoo on you. Def. have her mounted and out her on the wall so you can see her everyday. 🙏🏼

[@jessicakourbelas72]

I'm not one for taxidermy but she was an impressive fish and like you said you built all of that for her. You should mount her in the fish buildning.

[@fbomb2523]

It's sad but seeing you on this you keep going a grow more
