a bunch of fish youtubers need to see this

[@denigong9708]

You know Josh is really speaking from his heart when his teaching us. When he gets happy, serious, angry, excited and so on his stutter acts up and no I'm not making fun of him. I think it's really cool also I know he always speaks from his heart and mind. So glad i found this channel. He has some amazing, beautiful fish. I would love to see a huge flat head or a huge blue catfish in the monster pond. A piebald blue catfish would be AWESONE.. Piebald blue cats are consider one of the rarest catfish. Odds for one are 2 in 2 million babies.. That's insane if you ask me

[@pauls.981]

I hope Ohio Fish Rescue has plenty of drains in your floor. Good job Josh!

[@kathyjohnson4069]

Love watching your vidios. I could never have the big fish and big tanks so love watching yours.

[@micheler3011]

Thanks for sharing those tips about pool ponds, will come in handy.

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Glad you like them!

[@aquahogs]

🕊Blessing to Rich, Josh and Tracy! Your work is nobel, honest, and righteous. All the best from Montana!

[@puirYorick]

I'm so glad you addressed this topic since OFR has become somewhat the voice of experience with fishkeeping situations. You must come into contact with all sorts of nightmare stories plus your own knowledge. Another great video, Josh.

[@lesliesockwell8385]

Thank you so much for this information!! The pools look so appealing for a large fish keeper but not so good if you're constantly having to replace them. Thank you Ohio fish rescue for loving & caring for all these awesome creatures. 😍🤗

[@LacoteCohen]

Do's: subscribe to OFR and turn your notification bell on. Don't's: refrain from believing that most fish channels really care about fish.

[@LacoteCohen]

@@OhioFishRescue-com that's exactly what you guys do and I love it! I'm only subscribed to this channel, Predatory Fins and King Of DIY, all great fish channels that I can actually learn from, and not something where the animals are harmed.

Great tips....we are thinking of trying to mess around with something like this in our yard next year....thanks Josh....👍

[@stephball30]

Josh, I have zero need for a pool pond, however I watched this entire video! You guys have a great channel and I'm always excited to watch your videos because they are interesting, and genuine, and informative. You are bring us a look at things we wouldn't ever see normally. Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing with us!! Love it.

Beautiful rays! 😍

[@swhite8381]

This video made me think twice about using the pool pond indoors. I think I’ll spend the extra money for a nice thick pond . Thank you

[@RededicateYrLife]

An extra pool liner helps alot before putting in the water and the foam on the bottom

[@fishlover9353]

Your videos no matter what there about are so interesting I just love them. And that your trying to help people. I only have 3 10 gal tanks. So I don’t need this information but I can’t stop watching.😂👍

[@Shane.Martin]

Great informative vid 👌

[@dannytoledo9723]

If you fill them up onece and keep in same place, and only use cold water, and protect the bottom and sides from punctures, these pools can last you easily between 3-7 years. And indoors to avoid sun damage

[@RescueDogTreats]

Super informative! Largest I have is a 300 gallon Rubbermaid tote...very durable! But I’ve seen SO many of these pools on youtube! :)

[@christopherallen9615]

This is the problem with calling this hobby a hobby. It makes every Joe Blow think that you just go to Walmart and get a pool or some kind of wooden built thing and it's going to keep living things alive. Building a tank with wood requires a good bit of know-how or education. And those swimming pools from my experience using them for a swimming pool is that they don't last very long. I'm glad you put this video out to help educate people. People usually mean well but you need years of experience before keeping fish especially large fish like that.

[@NCHerpers]

This is good info

[@6Dan6dead6]

So nice I saw this in time💪 ...I ll avoid much trouble and take time to build a 3m DIY one wih pond liner and frontal glass ....the easy way is oftten the shortest lasting one

[@michaela-be4le]

Good stuff as always J :) I'll stick to my concrete ponds....lol

[@NoahTh3PandaTank]

Thanks for this video, I think I'm going to get a pond liner for it to help combat leaks since it's going to be outside.

[@aquaticma]

I used these for 2 years for my kids and after 1 season the pool (about 200gals) began to lose shape. I remember seeing another tuber (Jenny from Solid Gold) using them for her goldfish and when I heard she moved I wondered if she had the same issues. I see them as good quarantine tanks but they would have to stay running all the time! Great video 👍 Definitely sharing with my fellow pop up pool friends!

[@nikolistreeter796]

good stuff bro, thx

[@m.k.s5542]

I’m from the uk and I put the pond underlay and pond liner in mine and it’s perfect can only tell it’s a pool I till I’ve boxed it all in

OHIO FISH RESCUE RULES!!!!

[@stayathomecichlidmom3579]

We are remodeling our house and I have to move all my tanks, needless to say, I decided to buy one of these pools to setup in a family members basement. I can't decide whether to buy a black pond liner to put in it. I'm just afraid of chemicals from the pool liner leaching in and killing my fish. Great video and great timing!

[@eurocoinc]

I'm starting from scratch. I plan on lining with pond liner. Have you guys done this before? is it worth the effort?

[@oatmilll]

Sir u always come up with interesting videos all the time. Please mqke next video on exotic arowanas please 🤗🤗

[@burrow2chase]

Really appreciate this video, just stumbled upon it. Setting up a pool pond very soon. Lots of helpful tips here. Anyone use a liner in your pond?

[@graphite2786]

Depending on the make of pool pond , beware of putting pacu species in them! Some of the real cheap pool brands have big internal seams in the pool liner and I've known of bored pacus having a munch on them. So if you get a pool pond and you want a pacu species in it, make sure it's not a cheap, thin vinyl type and also make sure you have no big folds or anything that a pacu can get it's teeth around! Another fish to be careful with are the big black wood eating plecos ( not the common pleco). Ive seen a two foot specimen gouge an acrylic tank with marks 2 - 3 mm deep! It would nail a poolpond liner with no trouble. But if you can afford one of these plecos I don't think you'd be cheap enough to keep it in a poolpond and not a monster sized tank. Great information as always guys, experience is the best teacher and there are a lot of amateur FishTubers out there that could really use these valuable insights.

[@capearson4522]

I'm surprised you guys don't add a pond liner to the inside of the pool. Seems to me that would be a better long term solution.

[@IHATETHETRANSCOM]

This would go perfect back yard porch if it leaks at least it's out side nothing gets ruined. I have a blue catfish that's growing faster than expected and being a bully. So he needs out and for 100 bucks you can't beat it though for short term. Great video learned a lot.

[@spoiledfish6643]

I have one. Would never use indoors. Just a summer outside thing for me.👍👍👍👍👍

[@mikewind8783]

Good tips! Would you go over the filtration used here? Pump size? Circulation pump? Pool has very good surface agitation. Thanks

[@Katseye102]

My son brought me up his above ground outdoor pool to put my koi in 3 years ago, we live in Nevada where the temperature gets above 115+ during the summer and usually around 34-40’s during the winter. I’m sure it’s going to give out somewhere soon and we’re planning to build a real pond with cinderblock we got an incredible deal for. Any ideas for me in that area is very welcome! At any rate I watch all the time for stress points in the pool and so far so good.....so far! We have it filled about halfway around 1500 gals, it’s a 2500 gal pool.

[@naomimartinez6980]

Thats pretty cool... Im new too fish keeping but i have goldfish and i was thinking to buy a mini pool just for them because they getting bigger. I have done my own research on comet goldfish . my only question for you is what is all the things i need for this a small pool for them thats not too high in $$$$$$

[@jimmoran689]

He's talking so loud the fish are putting their fingers in their 👂 ears 😂 thanks 4 the tips

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

No problem 👍

[@rockskipper5353]

could you just put a pond liner inside the pool to double up the walls ?

[@hanyo1o132]

Do you think using a pond coating on the pool would extend the lifespan of the pool itself? only ask because that would make the pool look better, and if it helps it last longer, then the cost would be worth it.

[@wowdad3055]

You are teaching us is not a horror story it becomes a horror story when it happens to someone that did not know what can happen to their pools.

[@DragonsRage92]

In my experience if you take a pond liner and you fit it to be on the inside of your pool pond you can do across fold to make the corners perfect then you cut the corners just slightly so you can fold everything down you some clamps to hold it in place it'll last you about 8 years before you have to replace the liner which save you from having to constantly by liners for your pool pond and break it down and replace it it's much easier to replace the liner when it's a pond liner as opposed to a pool liner you set it up with the pool liner and then you put the pond liner on the inside of that

[@Cdog-km8pt]

I make reptile enclosures and use that silicone, do you think the acetic acid in the uncured silicone harms the fish at all

[@JUNAID187]

Would large plecos be ok in these?

[@benjaminsilvert1880]

I know some pond companies use a roof liner that is rated to last 20 years. Maybe you could use that to line the pool instead of the pool liner.

[@jonleiend1381]

From what I have been told you can not use roof liner. It needs to be pond liner. The roof liner will leach chemicals that will kill your fish. That may be rubber roofing only and not the tarp material.

[@JS-ny7en]

very informative noice

[@barefootfish3726]

Hey bro can u make a video of the pond filter that’s INSIDE that pool pond please?, just want to do the same thing but I want to make sure I do it correctly. Thanks.

[@ericperry72]

I just want a rounded tank to keep a bonnet shark or two with 2 leopard sharks, So I'm trying to see if there is a fiberglass tank company like Pentariares that makes an octagon, round, or rectangular tank with bull ends and a window in a large enough size.

[@BUHOCEGADOR]

TY for these advices, please help me wich kind of pond its better, circular or rectangular on 100-150 gallons Again Thanks for ur help

[@CAMSLAYER13]

Rectangular will always be more space efficient but either would work fine assuming you can accommodate in the first place.

[@BUHOCEGADOR]

@@CAMSLAYER13 agree now I ve both and the circular is way difficult to find the right place in the room and it’s more delicate to scratch’s and leaks

[@moneymike8575]

Do you guys build your own tanks? If so do you sell any?

[@matthewzito6130]

Plecos could be a problem. They're constant scraping would be really hard on vinyl. In fact, I've heard of them scratching acrylic tanks.

[@MrGrombie]

And that catty lol

[@MrGrombie]

I wouldn't want to deal with the filtration tbh. But it is nice knowing I could. Lol

[@carlosvillanueva8530]

Put, your pump in a five gallon trash can with holes drilled around the top to create a weir, so if you get a leak from your filter that isn't dripping back into the pool, the pump won't totally drain your pool and kill your fish. The reason you put the insolation on the floor under the pool is because, floors transfer heat, If it is freezing outside the floor transfers cold to your pond by stealing heat energy, if it is hot it boils your fish by transferring heat into your pond. With sheets of insolation under the pond it stops the heat transfer. it's a stop gap. yes it also protects from sharp objects.

[@Helveteshit]

@Ohio Fish Rescue, Wouldn't textile that is typically used when building outdoor ponds be a viable option if one wants substrate in a pool pond? Two layers of those and a thick substrate. It shouldn't be any more risk than normal, ye? If one wants for example, not big fish but just a bunch of plants together with smaller aquarium fish.
