      @Camo Dude Awesome man. I bet your daughters love their fish & that's what's important. I used to have problems with fish dying & learned the single most important thing in keeping fish alive is, DO YOUR WATER CHANGES. It's about a 1/2 hour a week & it sucks, but if you do it regularly, even when you really don't want to, you'll always be glad you did. Do a gravel vacuum when you do it and youll trip out on how much funk comes up the spout, it's pretty gross...anyway brother, sorry for the rant, just tryin to be a good mofo. best of luck, go easy pal!!

    I’m always struck by how much compassion Big Rich has for owners that have to surrender their wet pets. It’s easy to fall into judging people who give up their pets (especially in this day and age) but truth is life happens. It’s really nice to know people like Big Rich are out there making life a little more forgiving.

      If the person doesn't know how big the purchased fish will get, then it's likely that they don't know the specific species requirements before the purchase either, or *maybe* even general fish care information (you just hope they at least look into it after the purchase at some point and that things will be okay in the end).

Ohio fish rescue is a fish rescue, if you didn't know and they adopt fish that have gotten to big for people's tank, they say that they regularly give out fishes to people who are willing to take the fish or public aquariums. So don't be sad about those fish.

    Thank you for this video! Thank you Rick and family for doing this! It is my dream to rescue fish! I am planning on building tanks and making our own filtering system. God bless you all!
