Rehoming ALL of My BABY TURTLES to My FIRST POND!!

In today’s video I visit my parents backyard where this entire channel began. I’ll give you updates on the farm and what projects we have going on, and then bring all of my baby turtles that I’ve been growing here for the last few months over to where it all began… These turtles will have plenty of room to grow for the next few months until we figure out something we want to build for them here at the farm!🐢💯🤯

I think a giant freshwater planted pond with live plants would be pretty awesome with discus and whatnot

[@habulouss]

I agree with this as long as there is a side viewing angle too cause discus are so much more admirable from a side angle

[@ghosty3292]

Planted community ecosystem

[@ImaDoggg]

How about a Pond with a Vivarium, a place you could put reptiles, types of bugs if you like and plants etc. in the pond section pay homage to your roots and fill it with mollies, platys, maybe some guppies? This could be planted tank as well. There so many possibility's with these two options. could even put a dwarf caiman in there? maybe Give that snapper of yours a massive home with a glass panel for feeding??

[@AAryan-jj9kh]

That's the idea 💡💯

Koi

[@derp110]

Since it looks like the spot where you want to put a new pond in the fish building looks longer than it is wide, may I suggest a freshwater flowing linear "stream" pond that has a canister filter outlet and inlet at opposite ends of the pond. You could put some of the interesting species that prefer flowing current.

[@mark7s980]

Discus pond! You've been talking about them long enough. Now it's time to do!

[@Epic_Duck984]

9:18 i believe its finally time to bring the discus into the spotlight please that would be incredible 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@joshbeil2670]

Speaking out on the pond I think if you’re gonna go big, you gotta go big all the way! Cut an acrylic window in the side of the pond and a second one in the building so you can see the fish inside and out! BOOM!!😍

[@jakeozoneone]

Dude just because you can, you should make a really cool touch pond, like they have at aquariums, buy yours will be even butter because it’s private and not open to public hands. I know you could do something so cool, like a shallow lagoon! I think that would be so cool!

[@Jg15243]

Yeah with an octopus and sea grass would go crazy

[@anicervelli2190]

I like this!!!!!!!

[@zebedeemadness2672]

8:55 A Florida native freshwater aquarium, Large mouth bass, Striped bass, big Blue gill and Black crappies, Channel catfish, Florida gar, pickerel (Pike), Bowfin. First put in a load of native sail-fin mollies and Mosquito fish, to multiply for 24/7 food. You don't have to buy them and you can go back to doing some fishing videos to stock the aquarium.

[@StraightReals2]

do a freshwater community tank, ton of neons and angel fish along with other species would be sick!!

[@Itzgalmish]

Thanks for hanging out with me today i really enjoyed it.. hope you and brenten have a great day and a killer week :)

[@GianniAzul3609]

If you’re going to do a freshwater pond, I say you make it an Oscar tank. That would be so awesome. Stock the tank with the rare varieties: like albinos, Lemon yellows, ruby reds and marbles (yes marble). I think with proper lighting, dark background and natural aquascaping with driftwood, it would look fantastic.

[@headshotgamin1397]

You should do a tidepool pond. Basically have a wave system and most of the creatures you would have would be stuff you find in your tidepool videos.

[@ALKaorix]

I think you should do a community pond with a beautiful aquascape, like a tree trunk in the middle with roots coming out the sides, some leaf litter and some java ferns, Anubias,Amazon swords,Vals and other plants. Then put in loads of different tetras, platies, mollies, rasboras, angel fish, cories and so on. It’ll look amazing! That’s my dream to own.

[@renzoworm8032]

Community fresh water

[@SuperLallypop]

I know your a busy guy, just focus on building ur brand as it gets bigger and bigger, very refreshing not only to see where you started this entire journey. Most all your mom, the fact that she still gets emotional about specific things she has to let go of because ur not small anymore. As a mom I can relate ❤

[@BobFriz]

You should do a Community Fresh water tank with Plants, Tetras, Angelfish, Barbs, Mollys and Plattys.

[@callumlomax8664]

You should do a Japanese Koi pond! It would look awesome.. You'd have so much colour and they would get massive in a pond that big. If you got - Hi Utsuri / Ki Utsuri / Shiro Utsuri / Showa / Goshiki / Chagoi You would end up with a really nice blend of colour and activity in the pond. A Chagoi will be so easy to train for hand feeding aswell, they are naturally curious and greedy! Keep doing what you're doing man, i love the content

[@chelseajones7528]

Freshwater community pond with guppies, platys, angles, corydoras plecos etc

[@hunterlutz7895]

I think an amazon style pond with some big plants would be sweet. Having a bunch of discus, angelfish, and assorted tetras in a community pond would be awesome

[@RagingEntertainment]

I've noticed we haven't seen any koi fish in your videos for a long time now. Why not do a koi pond in the building? That would be awesome to watch and see what kind of kois you get.

[@JamieGonzo]

He couldn’t even manage to keep his koi or hardiest freshwater fish alive

Hi Paul! I look forward to your videos everyday 😊 I’m 55 My son who is 26 had one of your videos on while I was visiting and that was 3 years ago. I’ve been watching you and Brenton regularly ever since ❤ I love that you send a pond guy to your Moms house to care for the ponds for her! For the new pond, I like the idea of a freshwater pond filled with beautiful Discus and live plants! A large acrylic window would look sick!

[@Thefishdude987]

You should make a native fresh water pond with bass, bluegill, gar, channel cats, and crappie

[@chasechristophermurraydola9314]

[@Alex-hz8ft]

A big long pond filled with live coral/anemones would be an awesome mix up.

[@YourLocalPondPimp]

Should definitely make the new pond a freshwater community since you already have a predatory pond. Should stay away from cichlids

[@fortnite-kid-oe2zv]

Yea like with turtles and fish

[@Carries338Lapua]

Paul, I told you in the video of Hector building the crates that they would be a issue. Copper will also leech into the paint on the walls, and into the sand. The entire shark tank will likely need to be emptied entirely, repainted, and new sand. Sorry brother. I have been keeping saltwater aquariums for 25 years, and have a bit of experience.

[@JamieGonzo]

There were hundreds of comments telling him this. He went out of his way to say he knew what he’s doing, everything will be ok. Per usual, he has no idea what he is doing. I’m sure Tommy is sick of constantly having to treat his tanks and clean up all of the dead animals, so he forced Paul to do water tests this time.

[@AnimeVibesMaster360]

When Paul cafaro upload you know it's going to be a good day ❤

[@tomw7797]

A huge koi pond in the building would be soo good 😊😊

[@rybackfan9253]

Freshwater turtle pond with the window and you could put some cichlids in there

[@JohnHenry.fishfarm]

Paul please do a freshwater pond and put freshwater stingrays and Awana

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

Depends if that was treated wood. Now a days treated wood is heat treated and infused with ionized copper solution to prevent algae growth and rott. Normally a nice hardwood or cedar would be best for long term underwater usage without treatment. There are also prefered woods that are easier waterlogging in an aquarium.

[@amandapittar9398]

This was worth it for the sound of the little turtle feet in the chilly bin. Pittle, pattle, they are sooooo cute. 😊

[@aliasif2837]

9:07 a rectangular shaped freshwater pond would be cool..bring in some discus and some small tropical fishes which are compatible with them

[@rayvenredfield]

I know you said you were doing something big in the yard for your turtles, but specifically for the Indian spotted ones, or anything that you don't want/can't have escaping, rather than having them out in the dug pond (which is where I assume you're planning the turtle project) you could turn the indoor freshwater pond into a combo Fish/Turtle pond? Maybe do 1/8th (or less? Depends on the size) of the pond as a "land" portion for the turtles, and the rest could be aquatic.

[@503shrimpin3]

Consider this no youtuber has a brackish water pond !! Think of the potential ! So many species people never consider and you live in Florida you have brackish water species all over and the right support and characters to ACTUALLY pull that off SHOUTOUT HECTOR

[@jasonhowell6281]

Do a Land and sea pond, and fill it with some Archer fish and build overhanging tree branches over the pond with and a land inclosure connected to pond and you could combine all your lizards and frogs together. Opening up some more room lol

[@loneshark74.29]

You’ve been wanting to do discus forever and this is the perfect opportunity 😄 black diamond stingray/discus 🤯

[@LMA-vk5co]

Fresh water and longfin type fishes because they are gorgeous from the top and side view! If you get Koi you can grow duck weed to feed turtles, tortoise and the Koi. You can use the water from the pond for an aquaponics and grow food for you and the animals.Lowering the monthly cost of expenses for your animals. If you get a big solar panel you will save $ on electricity. I will say start with the fish room 😍

[@thehettichaquariumhole4470]

Definitely discuss in the new pond

[@banktobankganley8723]

You should do a mountain creek/ river set up !! Have it almost tier down with good flow, and maybe with little pools visible through acrylic and stock it with like brook trout, rainbow trout anything or like a just northern crystal pond set up !!!!! Revolutionary if you ask me haha

[@adamgrizzell2288]

9:05 100% fresh should do a massive large mouth pond

[@glub9075]

I would build a shallow lagoon reef pond, with mangroves, giant clams, sea grass, macrolalgae and inshore corals like toadstool leathers. Could also get a wave machine and make a beach on one side of the tank for some crabs or other semi aquatic saltwater things. Check out the mangrove reefs of Raja Ampat for some inspiration Paul Cheers

[@glub9075]

or maybe brackish

[@DomStewartWhite]

Want to say I told ya so about the crates but I guess many people told ya 😂 for the new pond I think you should do a proper fresh water aquascape. Real live plants and 100s of small Amazon fish would be super different and challenging for you

[@truijs65]

If you’re gonna do a giant pond with large viewing panel the only thing fitting would be a Lake Malawi pond. Loads of rocks and colorful Malawi cichlids would be awesome!

[@treevesullivan4577]

Live coral pond would be epic!! Expensive! But the end result would possibly be the best looking pond in the fish building!!!

[@dianeburnettpookie1237]

I would like to see an Amazon River tank. You could have discus fish, giant angels and cichlids! It would be so colorful and a match to your salt water ponds! I think it would be a good series from start to finish.

[@cquinata]

I know it's another Salt idea, but you should do an acrylic, Tide Pool Touch Interactive Pond like at an aquarium! You could have starfish, sea urchins, sting rays, hermits, lots of small things!

[@jruriegas69247]

American cichlids , Dovi, or Umbee, full grown will look amazing. Plus you have enough room for those massive cichlids.

[@ReelKingsNQueens1]

Simple solution since u have Hector, just build a plexiglass, acryllic, or basically a clear box around the lobster traps and seal it. This way when u look thru the window it will b invisible and u can keep the structure.

[@hunterlayfield6377]

Pond suggestion: Cichlid pond. I’m talkin everything from Oscar’s to jack Dempsey, shell dwellers, mbunas, peacocks, just break all the “rules”. Trust me it’ll be so much fun and it will be beautiful and amazing to see what happens.

[@rep1979]

[@Bob-z4b]

9:19 maybe a freshwater, aquascape ecosystem tank, similar to the vivarium series on AntsCanada. Make it a big collab with one of the aquascape creators, and then if you go fully lowtech and very ecosystem, it could be a continuous series, like what antscanada is doing. Could be a educational/experimental series. Like imagine hundreds or thousands of different tetras, and corrycats running along the bottom. A colony of pleckos and idk what else. That should be enough space for a few more territorial species like certain cichlids. And then you can finally have a school of discuss and angel fish as the focalpoint of the tank!

[@MrHoopski]
