RELEASING My BABY ARAPAIMA Into 6000G FISHTANK!

[@varana508]

Blake needs to get a hold of the Ohio Fish Rescue guys. They have thousands of gallons with crystal clear water. All on one system

[@ScottParisi]

Love the constant fish related criticism in the comments. Our man Blake definitely has a lot to learn but he's had some success over the years.

[@Shadowspets]

hey Blake, I don’t have a tank of several thousands of gallons, but I do have 25 years of experience in the hobby. Even tho of massive size, it is still a tank. I would make an enlarged sump with several chambers that goes from more rough filter material, to the finer materials. Ceramic pipes and balls to clean out the bigger pieces of dirt like poop and waste, the finer material like different types of porous sponges filter out the smaller parts. Both have a biological filtration as well. Once the water leaves the sump (can be a series of external filters) lead it up to the tank into a drip filter filled with the white cotton fibre that u can buy in petstores. That fibre filters out the smallest pieces of dirt. And because of the water falling into the tank in drops it ads a lot of oxygen as well. I know your fish species don’t allow for it, but aquatic plants would be very beneficial as well! You could grow some in that dripfilter as well

[@RoseCityReptilesTX]

Most of us here understand that any project is always a process, and we are constantly learning and responding. Keep it up! We love anytime you make a video.

[@cascadeghost2814]

Bite the bullet and follow the same design all aquariums use. Sand filters that can be back flowed and three to four times larger than needed. I also recommend UV sterilization, some sand filters have them built in. Ozone is a consideration depending on your well water quality. You could also RO all your well water, which would cut down on your filter size.

[@kellywidmar62]

You could add in a few ibc totes filters into your system to help clean up the water. Makes one lava rocks then peat gravel and then a plant filter with hornwort. Not in that order exactly. The plant would add in extra oxygen along with cleaning the water.

[@Andersonsbullycompound]

Let's go. That tank is so nice in person. Keep it up bro

[@cityslickershomestead2359]

Brunhilda It is a name that conveys strength, resilience, and a warrior spirit. It also means "battle armor" or "battle maiden"

[@kimcrawford5247]

I like Freya as a name too. There are many KZbin educators to touch base with. Rod, Lori, Ed, Paul…and more. All great people you know who have great connections themselves if they don’t know how to help. ❤

[@mikemeets8873]

Hey greenish or cloudy green water means the pond is well seeded and healthy, leave it the fish love it.

[@skaughtmc6591]

For an indoor wetland, I’d build a trough that circles the upper viewing area where there’s more light. About 8 inches and a foot wide full of gravel and fill it with wetland plants. Pump water into one side, let it flow around and dump back in on the other side.

[@Aussie.Mick.G]

You can build a platform outside the shed next to the tank so you can put an outdoor wetland filter in/on it with dirt and plants. It can also double as a nice place to sit outside the upper loft on nice days to relax and look over the farm. Give the pond guy a chance to do something different to do.

[@VernonBoone-s5m]

Young man listen if no one else is paying your bills don't worry what people say 🙏🏽

[@fenrirgaming37]

I saw some videos where this guy took some of those portable liquid transport pallets. They set up some PVC pipes, drilled small holes, and made a shape at the bottom. They connected it to a water pump, and also filled it with sand and gravel. Might be something to look into, they made it for use in ponds like yours, though theirs were entirely outdoors.

[@itzme1046]

I have around 4000gallons plus pond have quite a few pacus and sharks All the filter that was required to keep my tank crystal clear was a huge pond filter which costs around 700-800 dollars For your pond I’d say about two of those and your good The brand I use is sunsun (CPF)50000 pond series two of those will keep it clear whatsoever Edit It comes with a 60 watt UV light which makes greeen water back to normal

[@clark2491]

Blake get in touch with Brians partner Steve in detroit. He is doing the filtration for the Legasea.

[@tammyjohnson1572]

Happy Halloween to all of you. I hope Kashi has a blast tonight. Tank looks good. Fish look amazing

[@curtisframsey]

What if you used a large whole house carbon filter to add in water from the well to the tank? Would the carbon help remove the discoloration of the water?

[@thebonillafamily269]

Take part of the small pond in front of the fish building and use that has a wetland filter for the fish tanks inside.

[@maronpante5250]

first time here and i just heard you say soemthing about the water... genuine question.. why is the water murky tho ?

[@brendanhodgson9701]

Are you gonna plan to add some plants into that big pound and some branches and pile of rocks to add some in-richment

[@CrispyFiNgErZ94]

Just need to ask a big fish keeper what filtration to use for that type of tank/pond

[@thibaultb9887]

make sure to drop test the water. If your ammonia and nitrites are zero, the murciness is nothing to worry about.

[@ToeTheFoe]

It’s still a nice pond 💪🙂🐟

[@erikadowdy2382]

I just assumed All fish get Oxygen from the water- so I learned something new.😊 What a beautiful, majestic fish🎉. She fit rite in , in the tank. I think she was playing abot in the waterfall😏👑

[@lendlgounden3421]

Love the fish videos the most. Keep up the amazing content

[@jlo3688]

Congrats !!!!!! Amazing fish

[@LanaHrankowski]

Blake... dont worry what other people think....if they have a 6000 + gal tank they can offer u suggestions, until then please, from all of us who enjoy your videos...to all those people who feel the need to give your opinions that dont have a 6000 +gallon tank, keep your opinions to yourself!!!!! i personally think yours (Blake), aquarium looks absolutely amazing and i love watching you, cassandra,your mom and dad, kenya and of course lil cash (hes so adorable) and all of your family adventures....i cant have a farm like that which has always been my dream, so i live vicariously thru you and some of your friends who are farmers....keep up the amazing work! i wish there were more people in the world like yourself and your friends!!! lots of hugs and love all the way from Barrie, Ontario, Canada 💌

[@FishKingdom-sd6qc]

First, nice video🎉

[@Rambosgeckos]

Are you still getting the other 2 arapimas?

[@assiahinarkansas]

Maybe a big sock table/settling chamber topped with lots of pothos? You are doing great! Ignore the negativity 😊❤🎉

[@mr.gardener2551]

I think you should name the arapaima Big Bill as you called it a "he" in the video.😂 glad to see him taking air was very reassuring.

[@oscardean6351]

Is the river fly turtle still in there or was that sold?

[@dojc6526]

actually maybe you want to try grown out a few arapaima together. i dont know why but those who keep 1 or 2 has shorter lifespan or tend to get sick /jump out of tanks. but those who keep more then 2 rarely has any issue. a friend got 6 in a concrete tank and never any issue nor attempt to jump.

[@blazelightwood1637]

Is there anyway you could clear your tank water up a little

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Happy halloween blake exotic animal ranch

[@estherperez4570]

U r doing a wonderful job with all the animals u have on ur new one wat do u think about zodia

[@joanneganon7157]

Hey Blake, Whoo Hoo, success 🎉. I pray she likes it 🌞. JO JO IN VT 👻🎃💞

[@tonymartin852]

A large Bakki shower filter would work well on your pond. People in Europe use them for koi ponds.

[@tinaharshman8469]

Having wood in your tanks can throw your PH levels off and make the water murky. That’s what happened to my 70 gallon tank. Just a thought!

[@channelcats7041]

These aren’t tannins. I have a black water tank. This is a mess up with his nitrogen cycle and his nitrates are probably extremely high

[@born2unbox611]

Happy Halloween Kash

[@TGODSpeaks]

Just call her mama, cause you gonna love her like your mama, I can tell you LOVE that fish, so it fits, if not, something like “amor” Spanish for love, “aire” Spanish for air, “corazón” Spanish for heart, or just call her myhart like my heart lol that would go hard too

[@michellemorningstar880]

Hello Blake don.t listen to anyone else looks good to me thanks so very much for this awesome video Love your videos P,s We Saw It THanks Cassander

[@pennytran1201]

Happy Halloween

[@thibaultb9887]

Is activated carbon an option to clear the water?

[@johnkilpatrick4463]

Please read my stuff I've had the same problem u can't beat old school filtration and the under gravel air filtration kills u will get a cloudy bacteria bloom and within a week or two BAMMMMMMM CRYSTAL CLEAR don't let comments get u down u take care of a lot n u killing it sending love and envy from Baltimore homie go ravens ❤❤🎉😢

[@clintonwray627]

Elvira? Since its a holloween video

[@johnkilpatrick4463]

Brookoo deep substrate for anerobic Bacteria and try a over head sump heavily planted also with deep substrate lava rock bio balls purigen works great also api stress zyme has beneficial bacteria in it seachem makes a similar product but the tint is obviously from the well but the bacteria have what keeps my tanks crystal old school under gravel filters and and a 4 inch gravel bed

[@santoroaquatics5038]

First comment awesome video Blake you rock and happy Halloween 💪👍💯💯💪

[@danielvelez4001]

[@christyler-rz8rf]

Call her Punkin with it been halloween..or Ivy: Symbolizing darkness and shadows, this name adds a touch of mystery to any little girl.

[@jeanettenance1366]

👋😊♥️ awesome!!!! Good stuff 👍

[@alicichlid6805]

Just go a koi shop and get them to set you up a proper filter. Big settlement chamber, lots of mechanical filtration and a load of bio media

[@JoviusAquariums]

He always talks about fixing it but never does. He has the resources to do it, he just doesn’t. The fish look healthy so whatever, but he could have fixed this if he wanted to.

[@miriamvillarreal1452]

Happy Halloween 🎃 love your channel. A good name for the Arapaima is Wednesday Addams since it's Halloween

[@mugene]

Clifford the Big Red fish could be a name since it has the red on its tail and is a massive fish "will be"

[@toddtrierweiler958]

We saw her take that first Breath 🫁❤❤❤

[@benflavell500]

Love the videos put its definitely the worse fishtank on KZbin lol😅

[@robertlukacs1762]

Since you love the fish call it big Cassandra

[@joshscott2955]

Bonnie would be a great name and get a Clyde for her in the future.

[@MikeCrazyCalvert]

Talk to Lori from The Legasea Aquarium (RIP Brian). They just build a bunch of concrete ponds. Maybe she has an idea?

[@dojc6526]

you do know lori has a partner who is in charge of the aquarium side right...

[@GoncaloMaEiras]

What happened to the stingrays ?

[@markbacaron8753]

where is the flyriver?

[@leannagarrett457]

I think Big Betty would be a great name for her

[@WoVanGogh]

I haven’t watched a video on your channel since you first filled it up…. Try some pothos plants maybe

[@erichtomanek4739]

A possible name for the Arapaima formally known as Big Bertha 2.0: Lady Godiva

[@erichtomanek4739]

It's a fun song too!

[@debishere9060]

Elvira ❤

[@Nomics415]

Are you getting more arripaimas I hope so

[@bradleykeep6863]

We need another 1 or 2 6000 gallon tanks built at somepoint with in the warehouse in the future

[@damionkennedy4792]

Awesome dude

[@karenthomas2302]

I say name her sally after the nightmare before Christmas, since it’s Halloween. 😂Tfs

[@austinfoland8069]

Big Bettey seems fitting

[@DANSEXOTICANIMALS-zg2bp]

YOU SHOULD CALL HER BIG MAMA

[@princetonjoshway4689]

Big Rita or Frita!!!!

[@jakejeffersong5121]

Indoor swimming pool ,natural rock pool but giant version, nice and deep so you can get in and swim with the fish , i would

[@larsholm7606]

call it Pumpking. 🎃

[@shamelessme63]

Elvira, Annabelle, or Ursula maybe for Halloween as far as names goes for the fish.

[@jenrayraymond5231]

Call her Big Beulah!

[@ThePollaton]

Can’t believe how quick he grew. Ignore all the haters. That’s one big tank to keep clean. The fish are all healthy ❤

[@iris-jc6147]

Me having a freaking panic attack when she wouldn't go up for air 😂

[@petribz400]

Fish name adipose 🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤❤

[@tadinabis]

kok airnya gak jerinh bang?

[@BrandyHeath-m9k]

You should name her “takini” (ta-key-knee) it’s a Lakota (Native American) word meaning “survivor or one who has been brought back to life” big Bertha brought back to life 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@darksidemajor6780]

You really should think about painting the inside of the tank.. it will be better for when you're making videos

[@bigdubt2003]

Having clear water is about putting the effort in to it. You need to build a sump that can handle the load. With tons of floating plants

[@JoeCarothers]

100% I bet phosphates are super high

[@dojc6526]

😂😂😂the water in fine

[@petribz400]

❤❤❤❤ adipose is the best name from Doctor Who perfect for not Big Bertha number 2❤❤❤

[@K-NaS471]

I think Lugia is a cool name

[@mtrian380]

[@sensen9124]

[@oscardean6351]

Arapima breathe oxygen in water and out of water why do you think they have gills? They just supplement from the surface, you would think he would know this. You’ve only got to Google it. lots of fish are like this 😂Gurami Bichir Pleco lungfish etc

[@Thefishdude-e5w]

Buddy They need the air more do your research clearly don’t know nothing about fish they don’t use there gills when there older kid they use them only as baby’s as the learning to stop using there gills stop hating and do your research before you have on someone you idiot

[@Thefishdude-e5w]

You don’t even have one to be talking

[@Thefishdude-e5w]

I have one over 3ft and I know what they need and don’t needn

[@JamieGonzo]

He doesn’t know anything about the animals, they’re just used as props for clicks and views

[@Thefishdude-e5w]

@@JamieGonzo man shut up if you don’t got nothing good to say shut up I bet you never seen or touched a arapaima in person to say what someone knows about them

[@samhunter6198]

Give her a Halloween name like pumpkin 🎃

[@williamadkins2170]

Lelupi cichlids ?

[@MARKluvsAZcards]

Such a big aquarium pond should have air stones

[@oscardean6351]

Where are the tinfoils 😢 I saw the tinfoil’s?😊

[@elizabethreynolds1696]

Sorry people can be rude i think you should maybe add some above water plants to filter it naturally too! keep it up!

[@mimom1839]

Make a aquaponic system AS a filter
