Six-spotted Fishing Spider - Rehousing & Feeding

In this video I I rehouse my dolomedes triton the six-spotted fishing.

[@derschwarzgeist]

You might try finding a bait shop, or some other place that sells tiny minnows, and put one or two in there to see if she goes for them. It would be really neat to see her hunting something below the surface, since that's what these kinds of spiders are known for. Also, that enclosure is seriously awesome.

[@misconceptions5613]

There are some in there. U can see them darting around

[@jordanbmiddleton8938]

Excellent content and excellent set ups as always :) Feed it a guppy!

[@kreeolaxx2335]

Amazing as usual. Mark you are KILLING it dude. You should have way more subscribers. Great video and beautiful enclosure.

[@dboykinchen88]

I say that all the time! I use to say he deserves more subs. He's put the work in and it shows. I'm always impressed. I agree with u 💯

[@NMW80]

Ms. Davis I agree he should have way more subs, maybe one day.

[@Richard-vu7kh]

I’m a bit late to the party....catching up on your endlessly fascinating videos.....frankly, the best things going on KZbin - educational, professional quality - nature filming par excellence !

[@Heidicabye]

Wow Mark, that's awesome!! Shes beautiful. Love those yellow stripes. Like lightening bolts.

[@MauriceTarantulas]

Very cool setup and very cool spider! Brilliant project👍

[@dboykinchen88]

I wanna see it eat a fish 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣. Awesome 🕷️ Mark. We have fishing spiders by my home in Louisiana. They get pretty big

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

We have them in Texas too!

[@kendramason196]

Great vid Mark. lovely spider and amazing setup as always, keep up the good work.

[@N05man]

Enclosure looks GREAT!!! 😀

[@crackedcontent1846]

I'm getting ASMR from this guy's commentary and accent

[@dboykinchen88]

Paludarium is what u want to make for her 👍. I can't wait 😁😁😁

[@wild2dbone]

Hey Mark nice setup awesome Spider thanks for sharing

[@TheTarantulaCave]

Mate, that was excellent! Brilliant footage, and that enclosure is so good.

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Cheers mate very cool spiders shes always on the water now

[@z0eshi]

that enclosure is really aesthetically pleasing Mark, really nice job Try putting fresh water shrimp in, you can find hundreds of them in British rivers, even just small rivers should be packed with them if you get a net :)

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Nice thankyou

[@michaelde5620]

Super amazing video never seen anything like this so cool ty have a great day .

[@spiderhollow5658]

Awesome set up, I love those fishing spiders. I got a white banded one from the spider shop and tried putting it in a similar enclosure, but it seems to prefer living on the roof instead, lol Great job as always Mark :)

[@troublemaker5376]

Looks like a ninja when it gets in, good work on the enclosure

[@bailz8674]

These are amazing. A bit of a sad story here, where I grew up in Lancashire, we had an area of wetland that had Fen Spiders populating the area... It was redeveloped in the 80s and we lost that habitat and the amazing flora and fauna that lived there. Videos like this are educational though, and help people appreciate the unseen nature around them.

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

That is a shame so many habitats being destroyed

[@philcounty1883]

Amazing spider and such a good enclosure 👍

[@ChantalsCritters]

Oh that was cool to watch. Great Video.

[@imp3rus]

awesome spider awesome enclosure !!!

[@carolmccorry3053]

Awesome footage Mark.

[@jamesbosslet994]

Awesome enclosure!

[@williamj.rieger8965]

What a neat spider, probably minnows. Great job on the enclosure, she took to it right away, thanks. Bill

[@angelbugsUk]

What a beautiful looking spider mark, great video. Her enclosure looks great

[@Envymy64]

That is bad ass!!! Anything that swims would be cool to watch her hunt

[@1968tmb]

Excellent enclosure and beautiful spider! I've never seen a spider like this, really interesting.

[@andrewcosten]

Could put few tadpoles in there...another great video...amazing spider

[@jeorgeprout3672]

Boom! Another fantastic video mate, I've got a fishing spider too and she is wicked. The enclosure for your one is an inspiration and I may have to give making one for mine a go. I think it would be cool to see her hunt a tadpole or small guppy perhaps?

[@sammisoccer7]

I absolutely love how how you gave it a semi-aquatic set-up. I'm sick of people getting a cool animal just for the sake of having it and don't provide it the enrichment or habitat requirements it needs to thrive. Surviving is not thriving friends. Good on you Mark!!

[@PETROCK-NROLL]

Fantastic Video Mark, what an absolutely stunning spider!! Love the enclosure....As you said I think a tadpole would work perfectly 👍🏼

[@StrayMegumi]

What an amazing enclosure your the picasso of making enclosures their truly a work of art 👌👌😊 nice spider beautiful markings

[@jamiefeeney562]

Very interesting video and filmed perfect again , your enclosures are really cool keep the videos coming :)

[@mikepstsandsuch8357]

Tadpoles sound perfect!!!

[@johnswensson6032]

Love your videos, Marc - just amazing!

[@countvolkihar566]

That spider indeed has a fancy life there!

[@ourspookyzoo13]

That was awsome never seen that before. was gonna say tadpoles. X

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Yeah I'll catch some in the summer

[@BasslineJunky]

That was amazing footage, as always. That enclosure couldn't be better for the spider, like all your enclosures. Well done mark, I'm impressed again 👍

[@chrislanier2686]

Great looking set up and such a cool spider!! keep up the good work man!

[@donstarantulas8685]

Awesome video Mark.. different level to the majority :)

[@jordanchapman5589]

Fantastic!!!!

[@andygraham7247]

Wow what a amazing enclosure mate and that spider is absolutely beautiful, dam what a good video.

[@Stevie75]

Many moons ago i was planning doing something similar . I then found out these are highly protected in my area (Belgium) , oh well . Great video as usual . 👍🕷

[@30bside23]

Great enclosure! Looks similar to the fishing spider enclosure at London Zoo. Good work!

[@TarantulaAddict]

Amazing setup mate!

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Thankyou mate

[@angielou123]

Love it ♥️♥️♥️ you did a good job on the enclosure buddy, well done 😉👍

[@NMW80]

Awesome mate, can’t wait to see her catch a fish or tad pole etc.

[@frostedmelon4992]

I'm so happy you made another great enclosure. And if they don't want to see anything being eaten than don't want a feeding video lol. I think may be getting stuff from your local pond or someone earlier mentioned fish from a bait shop... that's a great idea. Would love to see her hunting under the water. In fact they are so interesting I would have one myself! I look forward to further videos

[@jaysantsandpets1017]

Nice

[@spoodsnstuff]

The enclosure looks amazing, real slice of nature. And the spider is stunning, such an amazing species. You have to try fish, maybe minnows.

[@cindysanchez6324]

Interesting Spider, never Seen bevor!!!! Nice set Up. Hope Spider will love IT. Maybe you can put tiny fish Info the water. Like the one for swimming smal snake, who also hunt in the water.

[@egidiosexoticworld]

lol i was the 9000 sub 🤣🤣 good job Sir. I have done a rehouse too, it's to funny with this beautiful creatures 🤣😍

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Thankyou for being my 9000th

[@egidiosexoticworld]

@@MarksTarantulas1980 It's a pleasure Sir. ☺️🕷️

[@theoschannel7114]

That was awesome!

[@kristinamiskulin2394]

Impressive, as usual.

[@samanthabeau-gleur6566]

Hello Mark, what happened to your H Gigas? Did you make it a 50/50 aquarium/vivarium? Now I enjoy watching the T videos, conquering my fear, Thankyou for your nice reply, I love watching the TARANCHULA PROJECT UTUBE CHANNEL with CAIN THE H GIGAS digging his tunnels and hunting minoes and feeder goldfish, doing water gymnastics and swimming and diving, and taking the fish down into his tunnel. Amazing to watch, never gets boring. Have you seen the videos I'm talking about Mark on that channel? Also TARANCHULA GUY 76 or 79 (always forget which number) his amazing tank with diving H GIGAS. Have you seen that video too? Amazing.

[@conflxct4670]

great vid, first for food supply i would recommend just a simple pet store with common small fish that you can buy in batches, also i would recommend clearing a small portion the vegetation within the water as the spider uses vibration within the water to locate their prey and thick vegetation can mess with the vibration causing the spider to become inaccurate. Like i said do not remove the plant, just trim it down a bit and i think you will find she will have a much more enjoyable time hunting.

[@x0Goti0x]

Awesome video

[@nineleafclover1477]

Wow such a unique spider! I know you mentioned how some folks might not want to see it catch fish, but feeder guppies/minnows might be really interesting without offending too many people. My brother used to raise them but would donate extras to our science class's salamander

[@Simplypets89]

This was the best feeding video ever I would love to see minnow's added to the water.

[@TheblackWidowakascarlett]

Loved it!!

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

🙂👍

[@mbdieter7308]

That was pretty cool. Looked like there might be some small fish in there already, they probably just need to get bigger and she will snag them.

[@tomwalker9971]

it is funny to see these as pets. growing up in south georgia we always referred to these things as "hell no" spiders lol imagine canooing, its peaceful and ahhh shoot the light current takes you into a low hanging branch or log; you put your hand up to push off and one of these big bastards is right there by your hand.....then you look around and discover you are surrounded by them.

[@ryanr5139]

cool video!

[@allenmills9449]

Ya, guppies !

[@scottwhitemyer5501]

great intro,,,,good job as always. love the experiment on the tank. I think you need some sound board on the walls of your new room, lots of echo on the audio

[@bonniehawkins2979]

Beautiful

[@stampede-km8qy]

Damn! Your invert room is off the hook bro! Way way better than tarantula dans lazy ass room

[@michelleleclair9993]

Some lil silver minnows and tadpoles!! 👀

[@DuchessMyPony]

Beautiful enclosure and awesome feeding clip! Also just be careful as it is illegal in the UK to use live vertebrates as a feeder. Just to let you know :)

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

I HATE that law,I don't see the need for it,it happens all the time in nature,why not in captivity. So glad I don't live in that country. The problem with these liberal run countries is all the stupid bullshit laws they make!

[@tastytexan9983]

It is not actually illegal. The law is iffy.

[@ItsJadine]

Wow I’ve never seen anything like that spider before! Such a stunning species! Maybe it could eat some may flies? Not sure how you’d get those 🤷🏾‍♀️😆

[@roddyprime1984]

Very cool

[@mell1629]

These spiders are the only spider I’m really scared of for childhood reasons, and I really want one so I can face my fear of them

[@donkellyonie9682]

Amazing all it needs now is some fish 😊

[@alexanderzahariev7481]

Great content, keep up the good work mate

[@rebelicious407]

I wish I could tell if mine was a male or female. It walked up to me on my carport! I thought it was a wolf spider till I got it housed and took a look! It eats everything in sight!! I can't tell if the end of the pedipalps are bigger or not.

[@gottasplit5707]

This is awesome! Just found this channel because I was researching a Six Spotted Fishing Spider that is currently eating bugs off the surface of my swimming pool here in FL. So interesting to watch! Just wondering, will the spider survive only eating small insects that get trapped in the water, or does it need larger prey like the cricket you fed yours in the video? If it needs larger prey I'll have to figure out a way to relocate it to a nearby pond. If not, it's not bothering anyone where it is.

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

The spider is more than capable catching small fish maybe its just having a snack 😀👍thanks for watching

[@randomdude21264]

I have one behind my house that eats minnows out of my pond. It's a huge spider!

[@freaknifethrower8218]

Feed the spooder a mini frog!

[@gottabnic]

should put some guppies in the water next time as prey 👍🏻

[@JanineMarshall61390]

Did you know that semi-aquatic spiders captured fish whose body length exceeded the spiders’ body length (the captured fish being, on average, 2.2 times as long as the spiders) and evidence suggests that fish prey might be an occasional prey item of substantial nutritional importance. So, throw it a fish :)

[@christopher.d.parks.5]

It's probably a tadpole, but you should def put a pump and filter in. You could've made a small waterfall down the left of the bank.

[@rondasullivan6450]

LOL Layne is wearing knee sleves

[@supernaturalunknown9451]

How big can the six spotted fishing spiders get around 3 inch legspan?

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

Almost four inches if not a bit bigger.

[@leechmiller1072]

She's very strong, it could be because she has to deal with surface tension.

[@kevinpoe8137]

Small fish, frogs, and insects are likely part of its natural diet

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

Definitely mine loved to eat frogs,fish,pretty much anything I threw in there.

[@thewildlifephotographer297]

WOAH!❤

[@williamoverton7775]

Same deal with frig hotels just because they can be free standing doesn't mean you cant put pumps in one next to your house

[@davidgrace9785]

Mark how’s fang?? 🕷🕷🕷

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Fangs back with her owner. Shes molted and has her fangs back.

[@davidgrace9785]

Mark's Tarantulas yeh I remember the update vid u did on her being back with her owner but she’s special for me, an thanks bro because of u an fang I know how to handle that situation if it ever happens to me, I only 6 T’s T. Strimi P. Rufilata, P. Metallica, skeleton tarantula, golden blue leg baboon an a Thai zebra

[@kalamacolburn788]

Fish and shrimp

[@redfaux74]

A cheap idea for food would be the common guppy. If you're looking for more complicated then... Maybe an electric eel.... 😐 What?!?... it could happen. 😏

[@MrGaetano100]

"Why do you have 4 outboard engines?...

[@bcpfinishes2791]

minnow awesome set up where doyou get the plants?

[@MarksTarantulas1980]

Just from a local lake 🙂

[@thegreentalons4333]

If I’m not mistaken fishing Spiders 🕷 Have Eyes To See or do I’ve been told. Is that true & I’ll like to see it eat a small live frog 🐸 it’s Size. Can ya make that happen?

[@somdov]

You reckon it'd go for shrimp?

[@pamtri___9198]

I seen one of these when I went fishing and thought it was a wolf spider

[@stphewox7381]

You should feed it tiny minnows like in the wild

[@misconceptions5613]

How did u accidentally catch a fish. And crickets can swim

[@jordanbmiddleton8938]

did this go well long term?

[@panagiotislemontzis9986]

Dolomedes triton is it ??

[@jessicawright7290]

Baby guppies?
