'They'll die if we stop': Ohio Fish Rescue helping surrendered fish live their best lives

A local father and son’s love of fish turned into a passion project and a nonprofit that rescues fish surrendered by their owners.

Special thing I did with my son …. Josh should be proud !

[@dwendel8512]

Ohio fish rescue is awesome been watching them on KZbin for years great group of guys over there

[@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet]

Good people actually care about the fish and fishkeepin community. Even caring for his comatose wife he still takes care of fish he rescues with utmost care. People need research before they buy fish they cant handle . Big rich operates with a big heart.

[@isaiahtaylor9015]

[@2011littlebitty]

That is freaking awesome your total set up

[@irecruitfish7410]

Super cool

[@MikeBronson515]

I follow their KZbin channel. Honestly crazy the amount fish they take care of, and the sheer amount of work they put in, and how well they are able to do it

[@OneStepHomestead]

Big Rich also has his spot in guiness world records too! longest mullet!

[@we.r.wine.bottles.im.at.work.]

This is sweet! Thank you for helping them ❤

[@Tirfing88]

Always good to see Big Rich in the news. He educates on fish, and urges you to research your fish before buying, least they end up neding a bigger home like all of these big boys. Fish are some of the most abused and neglected pets, and quite often nobody really cares hat happens to them the same way they care about dogs or cats. Their youtube channel is not as big as it should be, so every bit of broadcasting his amazing labor helps tremendously with donations. Truly an outstanding human being!

Ohio Fish Rescue (OFR) big Rich I love them. What's so neat about them is what u learn from them

[@jsryan11]

So many people mistreat their fish or are just ignorant to their animals needs, so glad to see someone out there is giving them a life they deserve.

[@jamessutton3513]

Thanks for the visibility they need help from the public.

[@junelawrimore9567]

[@soarer209]

[@CameronAndHisFish]

Saw him on one of the channels i follow years back, as fishkeeper, im glad this made the news

[@bighoss9962]

Ayyy OFR .. solid

[@whiteboi1201]

Need a gofundme to help their rescue out instead of gofundme for Trump

[@BrianMoro-gz8de]

You must be one of those Trump obsessed clowns. Has nothing to do with this. TDS is real.

[@sdqsdq6274]

gofundme for trump ??? lol , not trump fund us instead

[@amx1820]

"I love him" yeah we all do😅

[@EzMoney95]

This guys is awesome but the reality as a fish keeper dont be a butthole and buy fish you cant keep . Do research on a fish before purchasing.

[@slamboy66]

Good thing they didn't watch the last live stream

[@xMentalukx]

Stay fishy my friends.

[@mugzyhillbillie6284]

Wow don’t say anything about your sick wife Tracy “Big Rich” just wow can’t believe you

[@oilucky1]

@OHIOFISHRESCUE THE BEST IN THE GAME!!!

[@jeremybasch]

Only issue is that the big fish eat the little fish

[@Tirfing88]

no, he keeps small with small and big with big

[@michaelayala8646]

Hate OFR. Should be in a commercial area not residential

[@davidsmith8997]

Are you their grumpy neighbor or something?😆😆

[@michaelayala8646]

No I'm on the street that has to deal with all there garbage and the disrespect they show to all there neighbors

[@Nathan_afk]

We all know that’s not true because they post their videos on KZbin where everyone can see! Most of the stuff they have is in the back so you must be a little to nosy🤣 if you have a problem then move to a different neighborhood:)

[@Craig.catfish]

​@@davidsmith8997he must be 1 of the neighbours that had a sook about it 😂ofr ❤

[@yamatosazuske6939]

Nah he probably one of the people asking for a free fish and got denied because he aint got a big enough tank to house it. OFR ALWAYS takes and gives out fishes FOR FREE as long as you have a home the same size or BIGGER than it's current housing aquarium. You have to pick them up yourself. They will never give you a fish if your tank isnt big enough and if it is a downgrade from their current home. It's cruel to do it.
