Snails in the eel pit! Crab, loach, eel updates

[@slittng]

he has a lawn chair in there, no way he just casually sits and watches the eel pit like its the superbowl

[@goatcheese4878]

i would too if i had an eel pit

[@-Safijiiva-]

Livin the dream 😔

[@ImFloor]

You wouldnt?

[@slittng]

@@ImFloor Id put a whole bed in there mounted to the wall

Honestly it would be a fun meditation spot

My husband is going to be so pleased I've found a new hobby to aspire to. The chickens, garden and refrigerator mushrooms aren't enough.

“Rough day, babe?” “I don’t want to talk about it. I’ll be down in the Eel Pit.”

[@fred0356]

Came for the eel pit, stayed for the eel pit. excellent idea, out of the norm but satisfying results.

[@j_toledo419]

I don't think I've ever craved more pit content than this channel here 😁👍

[@hypanusamericanus9058]

Always great seeing the eel pit ecosystem develop! Have you ever considered adding ricefish (Adrianichthyidae), coldwater danios (Danio), stickleback (Gasterosteidae), hogchokers (Trinectes maculatus), or grass shrimp (Palaemonetes)?

[@CowTurtle]

They’d have to survive near freezing temperatures and more than likely be a snack for the other inhabitants. If I can source them cheaply enough I definitely would.

[@hypanusamericanus9058]

@@CowTurtle I haven’t has experience with most of these species, so hopefully this online information is mostly correct: Japanese rice fish (Oryzias latipes): 3-42°C but prefers 15-28 °C, prolific breeder Zebrafish (Danio rerio): tolerates 7-41°C, easy to breed, popular laboratory animal Three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus): 5-29°C but prefers 15-18°C Hogchoker (Trinectes maculatus): 5-22°C, prefers brackish water, but tolerates freshwater Riverine grass shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus) prefers 10-35°C, easy to breed Admittedly, I would assume not all the given temperature ranges would be ideal in the long term.

[@edersondeleon5392]

@@hypanusamericanus9058 ricefish can survive even under 0°C (below freezing)

[@thereallevel27]

I was thinking redhorse or quilbacks. Something that roots thru the gravel

​@@CowTurtle is it just me or what? I didn't see the gar in the video?

[@danielkirby5142]

Consider adding more water or a deeper section for them to retreat to if possible.

[@speardrops]

A deep spot would be really cool.

[@Tyler84314]

That’s a beautiful caiman lizard

[@LeafyMouse4478]

It is always a treat seeing your eel pit sir.

[@wannie21294]

Oh man i love the eel pit sooooo much, cant wait for the next update or maybe a long video

[@speardrops]

Same!

[@zzedstrike]

It'd be cool just to have a live feed of the eel pit sometime.

[@kinjura]

I’d tune in and sleep to it, honestly

[@Madamoizillion]

That's an excellent idea. Seconded.

[@knucklesofficial9213]

I agree or just like a 10 hour video

[@aoifebillin314]

True, I would watch

[@jamyorday]

Just discovered this channel and I’m in love with this style of content, I would absolutely love a live stream of this to just watch this ecosystem develop over time. Shit is therapeutic lol. Thanks for this man!

[@Kman82]

We need just a constant livestream in the eel pit. What a cool opportunity to watch the various spawning cycles, predation, and other interactions in real time.

[@Rip_luffydagoat]

The More updates the better!

[@sum_ugly_nerd2205]

Found your channel a week ago and now I'm jumping on every new video notification

[@oldenoughtowatchify]

So glad to hear you've got more fantastic names for these creatures. This time we've got Rangoon the blue crab 😂

[@TaleRavenTarot]

This is so cool. You obviously know what you're doing. Very cool to watch. I imagine it's tempting to just spend all day down there watching them.

[@Fr33zy159]

This is so cool man. I'm not nearly the fish keeper you are (40 gal, 2 20s, 2 10s with Bettas) but I just love creating little biomes that you know the creatures you keep can thrive in, and i can see how important you treat that norishment in your critters.

[@aaronlaughter6471]

I have no idea why I find this so interesting, but it is.

Came from tiktok so glad for these longer videos😮

[@i0nk361]

I love checking in seeing the development

[@Glostahdude]

Bro…. This is awesome. Your very own ecosystem! Love the camp chair so you can sit and enjoy! Nice touch! Keep it going!

[@Lesyaaaaaaa]

No idea why KZbin started suggesting me these videos but I am fascinated. What a cool project.

[@WhispersOfaSilhouette]

So glad I found this channel. Awesome content man!!

[@GlassDolphin465]

This guy really makes me want an eel pit for real his is so fascinating I love it

[@poyaa.40k62]

i could sit in that area for hours, its so nice, i wanna build a pond outside to just enjoy

[@absolutelyunepic3072]

Do it. I did last summer and it's been totally worth it. The fish are waking up for me right now as a matter of fact.

[@yargeht]

This is, in fact, infinitely more interesting than broadcasted sports. The Super Bowl doesn’t have shit on this content. Keep it up man

[@unclerobbieslug]

I'm intrigued by all this. This pit you have is amazing. How did you get a pit?

[@brent829]

It came with the house. It's a rainwater cistern from before the area had city water.

[@VinylUnboxings]

He’s got a pit-guy.

[@jonsutubechannel]

That water is super clear! you must have a good filter system!

[@owensoto1373]

With the wild snails, how do you treat them to make sure they dont pass on parasites to your eel/crabs or lizard?

[@user-hc5nh8kv7g]

came here to tell him handling them could result in parasites in the brain and also the answer to your question is there's pretty much no way short of testing all of them and even that's not conclusive

[@lioneagle2555]

He's probably not going to eat the snails, the disease you're talking about, rat lungworm is only transmitted if you eat the snail.

[@jumpvelocity3953]

[@loganstover5094]

Just found your channel. Recently getting into my small 50gal aquariums… all tropical fish store stuff. I have wanted to make a big local fauna tank! Have to do it now. Very cool and inspiring! Cistern is a great eel pit!

[@aasdfghjka3584]

Thank you so much for your videos ❤

[@kman4842]

Dude you are so awesome. I love the content. You da man. Much love.

[@RalseiGaming]

can you add some sand and smooth some of the concrete rocks in the water since eels love to play in sand and can sometimes get cut from the concrete bricks but if you sand them down a bit it won’t be a problem for them since they act as good hiding spots i also recommend adding some pipes in the water for them to go into

[@bigpoppajersh]

I don't know why the algorithm sent me this suggestion but now I am thankful it did. Never knew I needed to see an eel pit

[@ethanhermsey]

When I first saw the eel pit I was like; That's weird.. But after a while you realize you can't live without the eel pit.

[@asterix_wrld]

The crawfish as soon as he said we probably won’t see him again my brain said you’ve been banished the the shadow realm jimmbo

[@baskerzeke]

I thought that was a decorative lizard at first.

add some cover and vegetation, fish will hang around em and use em to get away from anything, put em near some big rocks snails can use them too.

[@x0Snap0x]

oh god the things id do with a water pit in my basement like that. id line the roof with grow lights and make a tiny eco system with plants too. i probably wouldnt leave the hole..

[@jimbatter5246]

Maybe some worms , crystals mushrooms , more crawfish , plants ,frogs or bugs

[@nigelloewen2105]

You should try to add some more natural cover and plants along with a up light to really liven it up

[@nigelloewen2105]

You could then try to add a lot of food guppies a sandpit and some freshwater stingrays

[@altaccount9203]

The pit sustains.

[@hokudadog7637]

More snails for the crabs! I like the happy crabs. I was sad the burrrowing craw dad didn’t have anything to burrow in?😊

[@RandomizedGamerrrr98]

I saw the TikToks but I deleted TikTok. What more animals does he have added to the eel pit, looks pretty cool.

[@oliverm7138]

Now that there is a light in there, would you consider adding species of cold, freshwater turtle/terrapin?

[@COJY06]

Would quite like to see a hiding spot for the weather loaches. Give them a chance to hide from the eels
