So cool to get a good look at those paddle fish!!! 😊

[@Gyj-s1l9479]

It was nice to see the paddle fish up close! Thanks for the video Rich!

[@mrharyjessica]

Big rich you’re a legend

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Thanks :)

[@JUSTinTx254]

That counting was crazy 😂😂 koi pond has been my favorite part of OFR since yall made it.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

It is hard to keep up with the counting as I did not show all the counting . It got repetitive

[@DaleWatson-g1c]

Isnt this the first time you cleaned this pond? I forgot how deep it is. On Ed the pond professor's channel someone asked if they were still gonna do the infinty edge and hes said you guys are still on the schedule. Thats going to look so good!

[@megamills150]

Really cool to see the paddlefish up close they've got huge and so have the koi

[@tammy8204]

Great video! Happy Birthday Tracy!

[@MrSEANDEERE]

That is a seriously gorgeous koy collection! And they are so big!!! I remember when that pond was made....man its seems like yesterday!

Nice of volunteers to do hard work wow messy job tiring too

[@ernestTbass23]

Mornin Rich! It was so nice to meet you all yesterday and the food was yummy. So amazing all the work you guys put into that place and how large this fish are when you see them in person. Blessings....Barb

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

It was very nice meeting you too.Thank you for coming out and heopen made the job so much easier

[@matthewzito6130]

Unpopular Opinions ... 1) Goldfish are a better option for most small-to-medium ponds. 2) Shubunkin Goldfish are just a pretty as Koi. 3) Very few fish keepers can tell the difference between expensive "premium" or "show quality" koi and inexpensive koi.

Happy Birthday Tracy!!! ❤❤❤❤

I'm sorry I think I seen my favorite koi of all and that was that black and orange one where had big orange splotches with perfect connecting black stripes around it oh he was beautiful

[@Twinkley1981]

Josh not listening to big Rich micromanaging from the side lines…totally reminds me of myself and daughter, only it’s the other way around, she’s the boss.😂 That is a big job you all did. Can’t wait to see it refilled. 🐟🐠

[@Everything.On.Wheels519]

I can also relate to that 😂

[@wirtification]

What's the Mom and Daughter version of "Hold the Flashlight"??? I can't remember it being as dramatic as father and son version, lol. I just did what my Mom said 😂😂😂 I laughed my butt off when my son held the flashlight for my husband, I was listening at the kitchen window and I imagine it went better than when my husband was a kid working with his Dad, lmao... that's all that came to mind reading you, lolol

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

It's not micro managing, it's running the show. It's the Bigg Boss at the job. There has to be a boss. I am that man. This is my house. It will be done the way I say period deal with it. Someone's gotta be in charge and here it's again not micro managing. Josh is helping me.

[@DaleWatson-g1c]

I can't wait for Reaper's video. I can only imagine the disappointment after previewing that pond to only come away with goldfish.

[@MandaPanda12345]

Cool video. Hopefully aquascape team is comin this year to upgrade the filter and add Infinity pond. Great see paddlefish are doin well. Would be cool see them spawn. And put babies in a tank we can view them from all angles.

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JanieAmericanIrish7777]

Wow ! That is a lot of fish and work. Great job getting it done !

[@richardmcnulty6097]

I would guess the sorting of the koi in the back pond at the rear of the property, would be absolutely nightmare if you chose to do it adding the best to Tracy's pond and moving on the rest of them, once medicated? Happy birthday Tracey. Keep it going big rich you and josh are doing brilliant, always enjoy watching O. F. R

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

We did it last season. Pulled out 180 koi. Added 5 to our pond and sold the rest

[@HeilwoodBeagles]

Cant wait to see it full again. Will be a lot more clear!

Dang those paddlefish grew big

[@Willie-js6wr]

Are you guys gonna put one of the Sturgeon or two in the koi pond? They might stir up the bottom to help keep it clean.

[@rathansherigar4527]

nice video.

Swee try work like always n train thanks for being awesome

[@jonas2431]

Awesome video. My local petco last year had a golden koi. I'm sure someone picked it up. It was so pretty. One day I'll have a koi pond

[@jonas2431]

My fave gold fish and koi has always been the all white with an orange head

[@KentAJDK]

A happy birthdaywish for you Tracy. ❤😊

[@gokulsanal9160]

I think you need more filtration for the koi pond. Asking for 60fps video,day 2😂

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

That video is 60fps

[@brockn7878]

There IS a plan to put on a whole nother wetlands filter with an infinity edge. The boys built the pond Bigger than Ed's calculations just cuz they Could. Because they had the liner for it. So they just went ahead and did it. Now we see why Ed's calculations reallly matter ❤

[@SoddenVelvet]

Wow I never knew koi fish were so sensitive and could bleed while using a regular net.

[@coryzimmerman4338]

You ever thought about putting white rocks at the bottom so you can see the fish when they are down deep?

[@Goose00123]

The rocks will get covered in algae being as it’s an outdoor pond

[@millerjohnson4232]

Get enough track to go around the monster pond

[@obryan240]

Used to have to do this with my parents koi pond every year growing up.

Big Rich doing math is great. It’s a mystery how he can get so close with how random hid counting is. Lol

There’s so many n bigg

[@jonathane317]

I would put some lighter color gravel in the middle so you can see the padle fish easier

BTW how is that bleeder Koi doing?

Hese doing fine . :)

[@stefanhayes4818]

The one poll reminds me of when I had an above ground pool it had. A shallow and deep end like that 🤣

Nice, fish.🎉

Wheres Skylar and Jerry? They should be the ones doing all the dirty work. Make em earn that place to stay..lol I kid I kid....

Jerry's sittin on the deck and skylar moved out a week ago

[@EVERYTHINGGUY226]

You should put some sunfish or bluegill so the paddlefish can eat some meat do they eat meat to or no?

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

No there filter feeders

[@DimasFajar-ns4vb]

giant river snail and giant river shrimp and giant river clam

We have clams and snails in the pond

The pond is definitely deeper than I thought it was.

So I hate to be the downer. But I didn't see 7 paddlefish. Nature happens I guess. Can't wait til part 2. Keep up the Good work guys.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Where did you get 7 . We only got 6 in the first place 5 big ones and a 1 footer. The 1 footer we gave to a friend.

What is Josh’s page called?

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Josh don't have a KZbin page. He runs the ofr page on facebook while I run the ofr forum on facebook

[@thebazgaz]

Honestly, im surprised you only have that many, and im surprised yoy dont have any babies in there. Could you get a really reflective white glassy gravel for the bottom, to help see the depths a bit easier ?

[@brockn7878]

Don't forget there are Loooads more in the mud pond out back.

[@robertkolhoffjr6232]

If you ever decide to get rid of large koi let me know I have a one acre pond I’m trying to stock

[@robertkolhoffjr6232]

I’m from the stow area

[@toddgwinn8395]

+/- about 10

[@j_toledo419]

Also, how do you guys determine how many is too many for the koi pond? I assume koi poop as much if not more than goldfish. Idk that kinda thing interests me 😏👍

[@profeturulz8373]

Isnt gravel on the bottom a bad idea? It traps muck and the water current cannot sweep the bottom into the filter

[@j_toledo419]

Are there no good options for the algae? I assume plecos can't handle the cold winters but what about carp?

[@brockn7878]

Koi ARE carp though. They certainly eat the algae. So do the paddlers eat what is in the water column.

[@judyallinson1281]

❤

[@Raven_Claw-g9b]

10:48 poor guy. Maybe would’ve done better using the koi sock net. I hope he recovers soon.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

He's doing fine bleeding was from his gills for some reason. Too much going on . Too little time. Couldn't get them all in a sock net

[@Raven_Claw-g9b]

Totally makes sense. That was a massive transfer, and he was the only guy with a boo-boo. That’s pretty f*ckin impressive. Glad he’s ok. C’mon OFR fans…let’s send them some more sock nets!!!

[@MFoster392]

Is your outside koi pond out back a under ground pool like the indoor monster pond :-)

No, they dug it straight from the dirt, but you can get in and swim in it :)

@big rich there is a butterfly in the left pond

[@j_toledo419]

Just curious, could you guy's take the time thats its empty to dig out a deeper spot in the middle? I only ask because there have been winters here in Toledo when the Maumee river froze and its alot deeper than the pond. 👍👍

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Only the top portion of the pond will freeze. Frost line is 30" in ohio. Typically only freezes top 10" .... will never freeze solid. 5ft at deepest part. Also not able to dig it deeper

[@HeilwoodBeagles]

​@@ohio-fish-rescue It's pretty deep already

[@gokulsanal9160]

Iam i the only one not getting 60fps from this video?

[@graffic13]

Everybody has an opinion i know but i personally think long fin koi look trashy. I'm not a fan of long fins on anything from zebras to koi. They look like they're struggling to swim.

[@airjaff]

What a nightmare of a job, wow, can you put a bunch of algea eating fish in there? Hope you can get more filtration in there so that will prevent you having to do this so often

[@brockn7878]

Man all those volunteers and the edge Didn't get weeded? Sorry. But...

[@puirYorick]

It was shown (by a California koi guru type on an importer channel) that koi bleed from their gills when they get distressed. It's not the same as a cut exactly but it is still bleeding. This one was the worst case I've ever seen. I don't understand what the upside of this kind of pond system is supposed to be. Many of their flashy sales collaboration sessions on YT that I'm aware of seem to end with the other channel having major issues with keeping their ponds clean afterwards. It looks like a closed loop system with no convenient way to get rid of all the old fish poop except by this kind of severe disruption of the entire pond.

[@brockn7878]

The boys built it Larger than Ed's calculations because they had the liner for it. The wetlands type filter with enough jets and pumps DOES work great for what you said! Its just that Rich and Josh circumvented Ed's plan. So we can't blame the system or the people who designed it! Ed is coming to build an additional wetlands filter. Watch a few of his (Ed the Pond Professors) videos on the topic if you want to educate yourself.

[@puirYorick]

@@brockn7878 Been watching their spiel for years. I also know about the history of these OFR installs. As I said, I also saw numerous other KZbinrs get ponds designed and built via collabs then get them grossly clogged with filth. Some of them have even scrapped theirs a year or so after the YT Amway-style celeb party collab session. That second wetlands filter at OFR was spoken of since this pond was still being made. The promised second-coming with better landscaping and infinity edge etc has been imminent for like three years now. To be fair, I watched a rich guy (law student - now lawyer) in South Asia build two huge home ponds with under-gravel filtration which wasn't this brand exactly but a similar principle. He knew going in that he'd need to do this but he had a staff to do his grunt work and spoke openly about all that. A literal truckload of eager barefoot workers would come and do all the heavy lifting and have blue plastic tanks and oxygen tanks with aerators. IF money is no object then everything makes perfect sense. Just pay somebody to do it and carry on. Not a realistic option here.
