  • I return to my favorite home fishroom, and one with an awesome purpose: The Ohio Fish Rescue. Big Rich takes in fish that have outgrown their tanks (or that can no longer be taken care of) and gives them a home for life. If you missed last year's video tour, you can see it here:

      Just cannot wait see that swimming pool converted into a fish lake. How amazing! Your lady can swim with the fish, as long the sharks are peaceful ( well fed) and there are no piranhas...

    You can hear so much kindness in his voice when he talks about that one blind fish "He's a lifer here and we're gonna take care of him".

    Big Rich seems like a real stand up kind of guy. The only thing bigger than his heart is his mullet.

  • @stevesolo16
    @stevesolo16 Před 5 lety

    It is nice to see someone who recognizes the "spirit" in living things. When fish overgrow the tank they are in, people can't give them away a lot of the time. And living in Ohio, dropping most of these fish into the local lake is a death sentence due to the cold. Fish are fun, but this is more than just feeding a hobby. This is being a purveyor of our humanity and demonstrating all life has a place in this world.
    Last week I donated a few bucks on your Go Fund Me, and I hope others can see beyond your "wicked" haircut and see the fine example of you "loving all creatures, big and small." Please donate to this good cause.

    Big Rich and his family are truly amazing and kind. My husband surprised me with a tour. They were kind enough to let me into their home. Big Rich I am in the process of putting in a Cichlid tank and would love to purchase baby cichlids from you in the future. Thank you again

    'So amazing how he knows the species, age, health status, background info of every individual fish, not to mention their names of those that have one. Imagine the wealth of knowledge in this man's brain, combined with his love of each fish in his care! Go Rich!

  • @zztalk646
    @zztalk646 Před 5 lety

    Big Rich, if you ever read this, just know:
    Bless your heart, and your love and compassion for aquarium fish. It looks to me that all of the fish big and small in your care are happy, healthy and comfortable. It's people like you that give me some hope in knowing that there are still people out there who think of the care for the fish first, before the owner themselves. I work in a pet store and help manage our fish department, and for 4 long years I've seen some pretty large fish come and go, and tend to wonder if they're still in good hands up to this day. In the past I've seen some fish in pretty sad predicaments when it comes to improper housing, and we need more thoughtful people like you in the world to correct this wrong, and thank you for all that you do for the aquatic critters who can't help themselves. (:

      +Ohio Fish Rescue Whats the filtration of those big tanks? Whats the *nitrate* levels on these tanks and where are the fish wastes? I couldnt see a single fish waste in any tanks...whats your secret?

    • @JosephKarthic
      @JosephKarthic Před 5 lety

      my discus is rubbing against some rocks and flicking its tails and fins rapidly sometimes, ammonia 0 , nitrite 0 and nitrate is 5ppm, temp is 28c, ph 7(also does this in ph 6.4) , could it be because of heavy metals found in tap water? I didnt use water conditioner yet, could it be bcoz of that or is it the temp?

    • @vincenttitone8776
      @vincenttitone8776 Před 5 lety

      ALWAYS USE WATER CONDITIONER WHEN DOING WATER CHANGES. The chlorine in tap water is bad for your fish and will hurt the beneficial bacteria in your system

    Huge respect for his commitment he gives to all of these fish he rescues. Especially how he keeps the named ones. I did notice at 9:50 he said there is no south american cichlids, but there when there are convicts, firemouths, and a geophagus.

    • @shmrgle
      @shmrgle Před 5 lety +2

      I was thinking the same thing, especially about my respect for the work he is doing, but the ctenopoma is definitely not a cichlid... Still, he's managing thousands of gallons of water. I lose track of what I have in just 9 tanks.
