I'm Leaving the New Ponds

In this video, I explain why I am leaving the new ponds and starting a new journey!

[@taggyg.6389]

This is very sad but it sounds like it's a necessary change for the better. Very glad to hear you can take the gar with you. Take care dude thank you for all you do!

Q

[@AidanHg]

you've been gone so long, glad you're back, sad to hear things aren't working out with the ponds though.

[@CatchingDinosaurs]

Been an awesome journey, sad to see this chapter end but looking forward to the next adventures

[@URANUSguys]

Same man. I wondered why he disappeared but excited for the new chapter

[@77buickregal81]

That's right, man...

[@TexRobNC]

Man, this slipped under my radar because of KZbin's tendency to not recommend inactive KZbinrs. I hate that this didn't work out, but man, we love you. You're such a nice, caring person, who loves animals and I'll watch whatever you do next! If you can, and have the energy/time to do them, I'd love videos of anything you feel like posting if it would help keep the channel active, and I think a lot of us would too

[@BD-zg7is]

Its so stupid...I've watch like 50 of his video so WHY DONT THEY TELL ME WHEN HE POSTS A NEW ONE?!

[@tothesky8799]

"such a nice, caring person, who loves animals" No... I'm sorry, but you just can't claim to be a lover of animals and go out to a lake, catch a bunch of fish (living animals), then kill and feed those fish to your other fish. It just doesn't work that way...

[@bigboi3337]

I’m sorry the project didn’t work out the way you wanted, but still I wish you the best of luck with your new projects. Looking forward seeing the progress!

[@bextar6365]

The videos were enjoyable while they lasted.

[@zeroman155]

Everything was fine for us with the old pond. Plenty of fish and turtles. We viewers loved it.

[@michaelhargis7036]

And Odie was there. Don't forget Odie.

[@micky4fun]

Agree 100%...!

[@RIPPER334]

Knew this was going to happen when I saw the ponds being dug... Not clayed in, never fertilized, zero maintenance. You cant just dig a hole, throw fish in it, and call it a pond. There's a reason it cost so much to do it right.

[@marshmallowmountains4636]

Yep when I saw him blatantly ignoring all the comments giving him constructive criticism, I knew it would fail. It was really frustrating to watch.

[@chl0wning]

Sometimes things just don’t work out as much as you want them to. Whether it’s ponds or aquariums. It’s just another learning experience to use for your next project. :)

[@jeebus022]

Kinda figured this would happen. The turtles in there went to the center and didn't wanna come out. Same with the gar. Only the fish that were used to being fed by hand stayed by the edges. Throw in the fact that it was underdeveloped with no trees or cover, and its tough to keep them all safe from predators. The lack of rain certainly didn't help either :/

[@mynickisalreadytaken]

As sad as it is and i am sorry for his Situation, this is absolutely true. From Day one it was meant to end like this or something similar like this. The Comment section begged for months, came up with a lot of constructive Criticism and Ideas to protect the Animals and secure a stable Biology. But nothing happend. Just throwing tons of Food into the Ponds. From Day one i felt there was no Plan at all. Just feeding Fish in a big open Bathtub. This was meant to fail from the beginning. There is so much information in the Internet and also a lot of helpful people that know about stuff and wanted to help. But if you hardcore ignore everything that has to be done do garantee a stable System for the Animals to live in or are not capable of doing that... Well. We saw it coming and now it is there. Same goes for "young small" gar and other Fish in these small Tubs. Hurts me to see that. That is not about the Animals. I am sorry, if it sounds so harsh, but this whole Process of the Ponds sometimes made me so angry and sad at the same time. Worst of it was ignoring all the helpful tips from people. This stuff here costs a lot of Money, so i doubt it was lacking that to ensure stability and safety for all the Animals. I hope the Animals and him will we fine in the end and i hope a lot was learned during this whole Project. Moreover we never know the full situation, but that does not mean all the stuff did not happen.

@@mynickisalreadytaken In other news the bamabass channel started a similar project around the same time. Looks like he took the criticism and actually has a successful pond. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJLEe6WIicZsn5Y

[@tracybowling1156]

Well, it doesn't always work out, but you've gained some experience. And we all had fun watching your videos. Thanks for the update! ☺️

[@SiTengoTiempo]

Good to see that the gar are in good shape -- that's what matters. You're making the right call to move on to other things when something isn't working out after giving it a solid try. Best wishes for your new project.

[@jordycastaneda2933]

I have been wondering about you a lot. It is an unfortunate to hear that but as said things will get better! We're here for you! You and your channel!

[@insAneTunA]

Keep the spirit up ! And with your next project, start planting plants first, both inside as next to your pond, it will not only retain a lot of water, but it will also create a lot of biological diversity and a habitat for very beneficial micro organisms.

[@commissaryarrick9670]

gar are built for low oxygenated water . They are tough fish and will survive through harsh conditions that will kill other fish . They can even gulp in air and get oxygen

[@dare2554]

I can hear the pain in your voice but I'm glad you at least tried this experiment. That was just a really rough environment to try and create a new pond ecosystem and really hope you will have more turtle feeding videos in the future. They were my favorite!

[@Kay12111]

His voice is always that monotone

[@Sentinential38]

@@Kay12111 i dunno man, i can hear his voice tearing up sometimes in the video at 1:03 its little bit slight tho

[@NBlanc.]

Keep your head up man! Been here since you had a couple hundred subs and this has been an incredible journey, one the best channels i came across. Best of luck with everything, im eager to see what the future holds!

[@ethanmclachlan181]

Sad to hear these ponds didn’t work out after spending lots of time and money on them but hopefully you new property works out great, you deserve it👍

[@itakei]

I'm sorry to see things didn't work out, the project was big and it's not always going to be perfect. Happy to see you posting again, love watching your videos!

[@yattaguru]

The drought has been affecting several parts of the state. Sorry things have not worked out with this project. Gonna miss the bass, turtles, but looking forward to the future content

[@mia1shooter]

What state is he in?

[@chubbyboi5004]

@@mia1shooter Texas I think because we haven't had rain in more than 200 days if I remember correctly

[@markus8222]

No way?! I've been following the progress of these ponds for so long 😐 I'm so sorry it didn't go to plan as you put in so much hard work.

[@turtsturtles9440]

So sad to see it go, but probably a good decision. Glad to see the content 👍

[@skunkape2]

Yeah, the new ponds were all blue and clear which was obviously good for filming but they're essentially sterile swimming pools. Fiah, turtles, and everything else prefer ponds that are full of life, from the tiniest microorganisms all the way up to the biggest fish. I'm sure the turtles left to find somewhere where they can feel safe and have cover and feed sources without relying on having to be fed. Please do it right if you try it again. Instead of a giant aquarium, go for a dirty and weedy spot. The critters will thank you.

[@kamloopscruiser874]

Good to hear from you. I’m so glad you are making a good move. Not everything works, it’s part of life. Looking forward to seeing your new chapters!

[@DOSHIELD]

I’ve been thinking about you since I haven’t seen a new video in a while. Hope you get the gar moved safely and have good luck in your next venture.

[@-AT-WALKER]

It was a nice journey to watch you take, glad to hear you're okay and taking us on the next one. Welcome back!
