Buying FIRST FISH for My SALTWATER POND!!

[@TopShelfAquatics]

Thanks for stopping in Paul! Always fun to have you around the shop, looking forward to seeing the “Tester Squad” in future videos! 😂 -Blaine

Cool hope you get in some live sea coral in the pool too!

[@martinsamazingfishroom9341]

[@hyperspace3022]

A community salt water pond would be very interesting because youd get to see their 'natural' behaviors more.❤

[@elyse1996]

I'm gonna agree with everyone saying a community reef pond would be beautiful. It would be so colorful and lively. And schooling fish are mesmerizing, even those four little Monos in that big as pond bring so much happiness lol. I don't know a lot about salt but figuring out how to do a mix of fish sizes and types where they can all live happily together and not be too predatory would really make the community pop.

[@accelerated_gamer6674]

Never seen another creator do a saltwater community reef pond. But either way I’m hyped to see what you get.

[@dreamsmpwarrior3456]

I personally love the idea of getting hundreds of smaller fish. Like actually hundreds of schooling fish.

[@fathercrim]

This pond should be schooling fish like a community reef pond. And most people don't add coral to their pond, but I think this one would looks great with some coral spread around

[@drewm.2790]

like a few pieces spread around like just imagine when they mature 😳

[@hookedonprjonrojas2314]

Yeah you should definately make the salt pond a community. The possibilities are endless

[@ElfrexCruz]

I have a feeling he is going to do that but it would be dope

[@sheeshhh-l1g]

Omsim

[@rossstone9770]

With live coral as well 🤩

[@briancooke2435]

Know what I want to see a bunch of black mollies in the saltwater pond like a crazy ecosystem, that would be amazing

[@dfish346]

No

[@devinbodager6413]

Community reef pond with schooling tangs is something most of us reefers dream of doing in our small(er) reef tanks, but just can’t due to the size they need. Go for the tangs!

[@itsRebornn]

PLEASE go for the community route with the pond. It would be so perfect!!

[@AmarpreetCheema]

*OmG* The Corals Were _BEAUTIFUL_ ...Heaven!! I Think You Should Go Big & A Lot Of Colour!! The Tester Fish Looked So Cute❤❤❤ Congrats They Look So Happy Swimming 🤩🐠🐟

[@Bree-XYZ]

Just got to say Paul ..thank you for being an inspiration to so many young and old. Never change brother. ❤

[@DeveloperDom]

I’ve built 5 different saltwater tanks throughout my life so far, my largest is 250 gallons, not even close to the pond but mine is a big reef community and I’d have to say that a community pond would be absolutely gorgeous! Lots of movement, tons of socializing between different species and the colours

[@m.o.eentertainment3078]

community pond for sure just imagine the amount off fish and structures plants would be amazing

[@devinbodager6413]

Plus no other KZbinrs have done this - that I’ve seen. It would be such a cool thing to see!

[@HaleyHorn-l1d]

When I saw them I imeditalty thought of Eenie, Meene, Miney + Mo!! I have been enjoying these videos and checking for updates for almost four years now, keep up the great work inspiring me and the other Cuffaros!!!

[@D-PRYDE]

The OG Cuffaroes will forever always remember *Phoebe & Pocket the pet rats!* 🐀🐁✨️♥️💯

[@FrostyAMC]

To see Paul’s sincere joy he got when the fish went in is a vibe! Keep doing you Paul! #PC

[@jackieclarahan2100]

I personally love the tangs. They come in so many different colors and shapes. But that saltwater pond is going to be amazing no matter what you put in it.

[@ashwathpandian4841]

Hands down turn this pond into a community fish pond. That would be unique.

[@xtra_chunky]

People always go for "monster" fish, whether freshwater or salt, but it'd be cool to see more schooling fish in big aquariums or in your case, the pond. Granted, it would be cool to see big fish too. Maybe a mix of both, assuming they can cohabitate.

[@lucidairity7927]

Absolutely second this tangs of all varieties and can be conditioned to be friendly towards all your schooling fishies by using a clear large acclimation bin victor talks about this with BRS I recommend it seriously you'll have a beautiful in absolutely no time Paul I'm so glad to see it filling with fish fan now

[@KingKenny45]

💯% do a salt pond community with different species of large tangs and coral. So many directions you can go with that.

[@carsonswindle5816]

After seeing the painting granddad painted it be really cool to bring it to life on with bigger fishes, to bad there’s not large LARGER clown fish , like the big tangs etc it would be amazing to sit back watch a live painting. Then bring he out show him his painting come alive !

[@jthetreasurefiend201]

A very cool community pond especially since you have to anemones. A colony of clowns. Also tangs, angels, blennies and gobies. Would love to see how these would school and interact. I am sure you could get other stuff like wrasse and rabbitfish as well. Maybe ribbon eels and horseshoe crabs. There is such a wide range that would be so sick. And please some moonfish

[@tobyglickman7164]

This video has been waiting to happen since the build of the pond. The 4 new tester fish look great. They have all of the water to swim in to their selves and the bottom creatures look great as well. Keep up the amazing work Paul.

[@ElfrexCruz]

Been waiting for this. you should definitely do a community pond,imagine how beautiful it would look with corals and reef safe fish. I have a feeling your going to do a community pond

[@RogueAquariums]

Paul, you’re right, I think you should go with the larger tangs for the pond. Vlaminigi, regal, sohal will grow large in there. The monos will also grow large and are a hardy fish

[@owenberino9890]

13:37 you definitely need to buy the tangs and snappers for the tank another cool fish for the tank would be sharks

[@keldaMouse]

UNI the sea Urchin is SO CUTE. I love that he is ruling the pond from up high. Thank you Paul for sharing your lovely creatures.

[@bonecrusher1136]

Honestly I wanna see some giant crabs in that pond, that would be super unique imo, also keep up the good work watching all the vids about the pond always excites me

[@frowboykid]

You should definitely fill the saltwater pond with coral and make it an incredible reef pond. with 100's of fish and all the coral you can frag from the tank inside. Its content gold.

[@joesteinbach7204]

Hey Paul…Thank You for taking us to TopShelfAquatics! That place is amazing! Looking forward to 100k likes to see the StingRay added to your tank!

[@xandergardner1269]

I think tangs would be great. You could put a unicorn surgeonfish in there eventually.

[@murphdawg33]

I think a huge community tank is the way to go! I would probably put the mangrove light above the mangrove for best results

[@bailynn2128]

you should get lots of colorful schooling fish! theres alr plenty of predator fish content. no one else really has a massive beautiful colorful pond like this so i think you should do that. angles, clown fish, puffers, fish that are pretty and cute but also wont eat eachother

[@donovanprice1699]

So excited to see fish in that pond. You should name them Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.

[@K1gixxergoneK6]

^^^ Thats what I was gonna suggest lol.

[@roymeadows5999]

i like it@@K1gixxergoneK6

[@roymeadows5999]

i like it soo much

[@HenryLaufer-t1e]

I think is would be super super cool to have a army of tangs and it’s different then anything I have ever seen so it’s super cool!

[@Dosneskov]

Do a Community. Giant schools are the way to go with these projects. You would even be able to have a school of tangs

[@mirtagordillo3486]

Yes I agree 💯 with everyone doing a community pond with live coral reef and schooling fishes. I love when Paul puts up a video you know he always has something up his sleeve lol that pond reef will so amazing in the coming months can't wait to see that congrats Paul on such an amazing pond 🐠🐠💜

[@Donkeyboii]

A community salt water tank would be amazing! I still vote for a Guitar Ray they look incredible! Also a full tank of Tangs would look insane so many awesome types like the Orange Bar tang! I don’t think anyone on YT has either of these fish.

[@kyleopper4421]

Start small with the tangs it’d be awesome to watch the whole growing process of them cause a tang pond would be awesome with a mix of others that can go with them

[@shannonjewell6800]

Seeing them swimming around I really think you should do a massive community tank, abit like the massive reef tank on finding Dory would be incredible x

[@cal6906]

paul 2 videos away from 1000 gotta do a special video for the BIG 1000 that’s crazy content MACHINE

[@timothytan2010]

You know its a good day when Paul posts a 20+ minute video

[@detalpug1033]

I hope you get the stingray would look beautiful in your pond

[@JerryEasterwood-n3g]

Would love to see a community tank with live coral and enenimies

[@nikkirichards4952]

Was cool too see those 4 lil fishies swimming around all together 🐡 ...?. Many times cheaper does work better then the more expensive stuff

[@MyIOnU]

For the UV, you can take out the soft tubing and do hard pvc pipe. It will look much better.

[@ellianabusick9381]

Finally, it feels like I’ve been waiting for years, but in reality, Polyphemus, I don’t know

[@ellianabusick9381]

I have one and only one request on a fish I think that put in the pond shark please I wanna see a shark

[@JosephsJungle8]

Maybe a community style with tangs and schooling fish and wrasse etc but like 1 grouper or 1 snapper or 1 large fish something like that so it’s like a real coral reef since there’s always so many small fish but then like 1 big grouper or something

[@dianeburnettpookie1237]

Me again! There are all kinds of predatory ponds. I think a community tank would be a lot of fun and showcase different breeds of fish. I loved the tangs. Good luck with all your new pets!

[@nicholastoscano8986]

I agree, tangs, angels, wrasse etc. You can put so many more fish in the pond. Everyone has big predatory ponds.

[@sherri2228]

Paul you’re amazing you spent thousands of dollars to make us happy in the pond looks literally amazing. I built a turtle pond in the whole reason why I wanted to build a turtle pond is because you inspired me too.❤

[@Biggechez]

It’s crazy how far you’ve come Paul, so happy for you

[@chrisharding9710]

Do loads of invertebrates! They never get enough love and some get huge! Those apple squirts were amazing

[@lizzyanthus1]

Progress, lots of progress! Happy to see the first fish going into the pond. They are very pretty, and hope they grow so they can stay. Wouldn't mind seeing them move to the inside aquarium though, if they have to. Anyhow, great view of them through the windows! Windows are awesome! Thank you for the video, Paul! Have a great one!

[@wdjones4735]

Ask Brenten to name the 4 fish! He always comes up with the best and funniest names🤣

[@LifeWithTim1]

Man I know it limits what you can put in but I would love to see the pond as a reef tank. Would be beautiful.

[@sbkpeace.24]

Seeing those fish go into the salt water pond hit different. Grandad got talent!!👏

[@martingaleasoficial6364]

Man, that puts a smile in everyone’s face!! 🔥

[@Ashpops]

I think emperor angel is a must they would look sooo amazing in that tank! Also they look beautiful even when they change colour. A ray would be cool aswell.

[@Vampydan555]

Can we all appreciate the time and effort he puts into these types of videos ❤😊

[@sheHerTheyThem]

So excited for this video,while I won't be able to do salt water, you definitely inspired me to try a little fresh water when we move to new Mexico ❤

[@desereesantillanes-torrez6823]

Fellow New Mexican here. Welcome to this beautiful state.

[@sheHerTheyThem]

@@desereesantillanes-torrez6823 thank you so much! Will be opening a vintage store & a nonprofit there. Can't wait.although I'm not looking forward to y'alls heat 😂

[@garrenanderson4]

The moment we have all been waiting for! Cannot WAIT to see what you got!

[@NezumiTheRat82]

Me too

[@amydoreendarling3309]

Salt pond is looking zesty!! My sons say😊 Love idea of schooling fish as testers and for pond in future, they just look awesome traveling thru the pond.... Tangs would be good idea too. that stingray would be BA. Thx you for great video❤

[@zidax_1490]

Full Predotor Tank: Blue Dot Stingray, Horn Shark, Eels, Grouper and Snapper, plus some massive tangs!

[@D-PRYDE]

*I hope that your pets are doing well and okay, Paul.* 🐟🐠🐡♥️💯

[@ruckus1745]

Before you said anything alls I could think of was how cool a big tang tank would be! Orange shoulder, vlamingi, unicorn! Can’t wait to see this!!

[@wonton5819]

Honestly every fish u suggested is a great idea and can go with huge tangs and angle fish

[@drewmurphy6101]

I'd plan on adding about 6 more. Smaller schools of fish tend to stress out more,especially in that big of tank/pond. Looks great though!!

[@maisie120]

Great video ❤❤ love to watch them always a laugh!! You should name the mono fish Ted, Allan, Po and Mo for a good laugh 😂😂

[@norcal0308]

I think hundreds of smaller reef fish schooling would be the best! Plus some big tangs. Keep up the great job

[@gustav-v8n]

I love you videos Paul!, my family are big fish fans and we are always happy to see fish swimming in a pond or tank.

[@colecunningham5039]

Go with the big tangs, angels, triggers, wrasses. Would be a super colorful and active pond.

[@katw22]

Congrats Paul! The pond is looking amazing! I think you should name the fish GENESIS, NOLA (Irish: first born daughter), JALIL (Arabic: first born son), and NEWLIN (Welsh: a new pond).

[@dedicatedreefer9966]

You should use a few Kessil 500x for the tank and for the mangrove. You can hang them all the way at the ceiling

[@mikalmos369]

I'd love to see a few more Monos added. You don't see a lot of attempts to do schools in home saltwater aquarium. They look fantastic in there in Imagine when they get bigger! You could keep plenty of individual fish with also a decent School of these in that tank

[@jordanharper8297]

Do a FOWLR tank with Some crazy Eels and triggers, maybe angels too. That’s be crazy!

[@robertfalconer7206]

I’ve had those monos before in a tank and loved them! They do get a decent size so you should have no problem keeping them with just about anything.

[@oscarsaavedra1342]

Paul that’s a great idea…… imagine the pond full of TANGS and ANGELS!!!! Never seen that before

[@FarhanDaniel-]

Hey Paul , make it a community tank with perhaps a theme off any living coral barrier reef system in the world, it would look so goood!! All love from Malaysia.

[@kenlier7515]

I love your videos ever since I used to watch You use to make pool ponds in your mom and dad‘s backyard. And now you have just so much more and it’s so fun to watch all of Videos and I’ve already got a fish tank of my own and I’m planning to get a saltwater tank but I’ve gotta learn just like you. We gotta figure out how to take care of it!!

[@larsschults557]

Hey paull maybe you can chance the color of the bucket of the tree in your salt water pond to blend more with the rocks when you do a water change and the water is low 😉

[@JakesExoticPets]

@PaulCuffaro suggestion make the pond a community pond and put live Corals and put a Apex predator in it to where it’s a natural ecosystem and have the other fish / invertebrates / crustaceans to be able to breed so it never ends

[@trista1982]

Omg Paul you have to get that orange fish with the thick white lines in that tank at the 4 mins. 50 secs into the video! Actually just get all the fish in that tank I'm talking about!!!!

[@jonahkdrumming]

Get this man to 100k we all wanna see the stingray

[@sarasibley9550]

Love watching your videos like many do… but don’t often comment, but your new group of fish should be called the “OG’s like many of us are!! As they are the first of many to enjoy your new pond! 💜

[@pappyjames9228]

Hello PC, I am one of your newest Culfaros. I, my wife and I have been watching you and Brinton for about 3 months. Not really sure how many GranFans you have but We are definitely old enough to be your Grand Parents. One if the reasons why I think we love watching you guys because you take be back before there was youtube. I use to get one if them plastic or metal pools and make my own ego system in the back yard. I grew up in Indian River County and there were so many little and big creatures it was l Iike a boys playground. I use to be so much like you I just did not have youtube. I hope someday I get to see your little farm and also some of your friends places like Blake, the reptile man, and the monkey man. You and Brinton make laugh and remind me of my youth. Thank you for that but most of all thanks for caring for our creatures. God speed.

[@handley2k10]

Community pond is the way to go!. Can get some tangs and angel fish to grow big in there

[@cquinata]

Community Pond for sure! And definitely name your fish The Fantastic Four!

[@kevinnelson3559]

You were the second KZbinr I ever watched, been subscribed ever since... You have put me on to multiple others, but I became a member and watch every video! Keep cranking them out!

[@Smmswagfr]

A maculosus angelfish would be awesome for the pond. Not too rare or expensive but a beautiful fish and I don’t know of anyone on KZbin that has one. And they get really big 🔥

[@Tdub-sq1mz]

Yes big tangs and community fish!!! That what I said a long time ago! That’s what I would do!!!

[@thorvikings2011]

Heck yeah Paul get some big ol tangs for the salt water pond since they aren’t too crazy like predatory fish you could maybe add a crustacean to or sea star

[@jcjeff1112]

Ye go with the 1s you said the tangs and that squirrel fish would look stunning...love the channel..❤

[@BrianLaBranche-u4f]

You should do local florida fish. Snook,red drum,sheepshead, grouper,snapper. So on.

[@Marlene_10]

You guys better LIKE because I WANT TO SEE THAT STING RAY! So cute.

[@_cblxck3_394]

Tang theme would be sick! But you should try a Great Barrier Reef themed pond.

[@rileydougbrown8143]

Community pond with lots of small fish for sure, would be so much colour and movement

[@matthewciminicimini9805]

Definitely community pond I think colors would be awesome

[@jakecembrock8655]

ive been wanting someone to do a big community pond, would be crazy cool if you were able to do live coral, i think in a couple years when they grow massive youll be super happy with the decision
