Sounds to me you need to completely drain that tank and change the filter out...Maybe put a lot of antibacterial treatments in it in case there is something in the water still that is harming the fish before any others die
Rod and Lisa, I am SO very sorry for your loss. It boggles my mind that some little punk would want to do harm to your fishes. And that one person has now screwed it up for everyone else who wants to come see your incredible collection. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and in my heart. And I am so glad that you did not let it stop you from going to the event. I am sure your fans were glad you were there. Take care
“I wouldn’t call the cops.” Love it. I actually talked to you at Aquashella about this and agreed about the cops thing. I thought about it though. They have access to stuff you definitely do not. They can access cctv cameras from all over that area and might come up with something. I also thought about an autopsy? Bottom line you’re a business owner and this incident cost you thousands of dollars. We’re talking felony criminal mischief at the very least. It could be your only get back? Btw, you’re a beast for bringing that tank and fish to Aquashella. That must have been quite the undertaking? It was a pleasure meeting you and your wonderful family. Keep doing what you’re doing.
It’s a bacterial infection, the red is sepsis & is a result of bursting capillaries caused by the systemic infection. The Pig-Nosed Turtle also has signs of an infection on the top of its carapace. This can be caused by scratching etc initially, but without adequate treatment can quickly become septic too. It sounds to me like water quality issues…
Assuming the turtle is normally white, I thought the same. Those red blotches scream bacterial/viral infection, the water quality could be the effect of whatever was put into the tank killing off the good bacteria.

@@christopherwallaceorr6977 OH NO they lost you as a subscriber … oh the terror … that’s terrible how will they ever go on without you. I might cry. Bruh use an ounce of deductive reasoning and you may be able to piece together. You don’t know the whole situation so without that everything you say out of spite because they aren’t doing it your way is ignorant.
Sorry for your loss Rod. That was a really big arapaima and sadly the other arapaima lost his friend. Actually, we all loss a good friend in that fish. Hope you can raise a new one soon. Whoever poisoned the tank really has got no soul to take it out on the fish.
Bro you have to take that tank down and redo everything. What ever is in there is still in there. Either something is leaching into the water or you have some kind of disease.
I am worried too now about the others. If whatever was put in there is still in there ugh 😑 praying he got it all out I HOPE THE POS WHO DID THIS ROTS IN HELL HE SHOULD NOG BE Walking the streets if he could do this to innocent animals what else is he doing
Yes and get a necropsy to isolate and identify the problem. Yes it cost a lot of money but it would not only help him and his business but it would also help all that follow his channel...
Awesome video as always!!! Totally understand what he is going thru, same thing happened to us, someone poured floor stripper into out saltwater system many years ago and killed everything!!!y My suggestion to you Rod is to fully Incase your viewing show tanks so there is zero access to your guests. Meaning build a wall in front of your 30 foot long tank and build a wall above shark pool.only employees can enter these areas. Don't let the one person stop the viewing enjoyments of the other hobbiest. Keep up the hard work.
Wow….how can people be so mean???? Karma…Karma will get them soon!!!! Keep doing what your doing Dude…and keep loving that beautiful family of yours! Hold your wife and cute little baby boy and know, they love you, stand behind you, and will always be there for you! And maybe yo cheer yourself up…you can send another dirty diaper to Big Rich at OFR! 😂🤣 Love yourself, your a good man! Xoxo ❤️🥰
Your boy is the cutest lil fella. And I feel your loss. When I went to Puerto Rico for the Maria hurricane restoration, I lost all my fish. About $6000 worth of full grown out. My wife said she was feeding them like I'd showed her, but my son said she just dumped the food in the tanks and they got milky. I don't think I've ever been more pissed off at a person before in my life. And yes we're still married, I just used that as a justification to good bigger and better with my aquariums. So if she thought it was gonna make me stop fish keeping, it only made me amp up. And I've been keeping fish for 40 years.
What do you say to someone you don’t really know about loss, you’ll always say sorry or that’s rough, or my favorite is time will heal your pain… But it never really does, it’s a life lesson… After all it’s just a fish, how wrong. I love and have goldfish my beloved one died on me, she would swim into my hand for pets and food. She was a lionhead Oranda. Her name was Peaches…. I cried days, so Rod and Lisa I truly feel your pain. Never to this day have I ever had another one like her. I would truly love your give away and I would give them a good home. If the price of shipping ever goes down I want to order some from you because your fish all look healthy well cared for and real good prices. Bless you all, and kiss the munchkin for me!
Rod I hope god blesses you and your family your wife, son, and all those beautiful monsters in your tank. I am very sorry for your loss and it breaks my heart that some of us will not get to see those beautiful fish. Let’s hope that god opens up new doors for you in both your family life and in your monster keeping. I got to meet you briefly at the event and it was an honor. You have inspired me in my fish keeping hobby stay strong. The dream for me is to one day have a pond with some big boy red tails those are my favorite fish. Also wanted to let you know that you had the most amazing fish at the show. My little man fell in love with that golden gar.
I started tearing up right before you told Lisa not too cry (don't worry Lisa I cried for the both of us) just not for losing the fish but the hurt that it brings to us follower's, Rod, and your family. Thank you for showing me that it is ok to just be strong and to keep my head up head think positive and know things truly will get better so I THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!! btw I wanna add to my daughter's state fair fish that they won. What something that I can add to them that won't kill them or they won't kill it
Wow! Blown away that you lost one of your beautiful arapima. Id be getting it autopsied to see if they can find traces of the cause... in the meantime i would do a total bio restart on that tank... dispose of all your filter media. Clean all piping and filters. Set up a pool pond and remove all fish. Total scrub down of tank. Restart bio with filtration media from a non affected tank and start from scratch. Buffer your water and return fish to tank... just to make sure that there is no residue to keep on affecting more fish! Hugs to you and Lisa and the little man from me in Australia. Love the new tshirts...especially the betta one!
I use to have one of those green little chairs for my boys when they grew up. They´re amazing, the one that came up with the idea for such a chair is genius.
Your #1 is that so cute baby,he claped after dad did and he's talking baby talk after dads talking ,very sorry for your loss ,I myself had to stop because it killed me inside when my fish passed title break down that was 3 years ago and I miss them so much that why I now watch Chanel on u tube its almost safe ,but I get attached to these to,when you lose I lose,God speed .and your son is the sweetest
Sorry for the loss of your giant friend. Really sad that some people can be so empty that hurting others is the only way to fill the void they have. Glad you are continuing and your new arapaima couldn't have a better home.
So sorry for the loss of your fishes. Keeping fish is a labor of love. Rod, you work so hard doing your craft and what you love. Its awful when someone takes indecent liberties on fish and animals. They are defenseless.
Hey Rod, you didn't lose the Arapaima...we all lost that beloved monster fish. It's kind of hard to imagine life as from now...but we have to let go memories and move ahead. 💙✊
It Sucks what else is there to say on another note rod u are a Fukn roe model not letting it defeat u and keeping on wh what u do despite what happened speaks volume to u and your wife thank u for allowing me the opportunity to learn about these fishes otherwise I wouldn’t even know they existed!! Thank u and may god bless !!!
Haha I'm just here for the comments of people with a betta bowl telling Rod how and what he needs to do with his setups. Like they have any idea what it takes to do a cleaning and water change on a tank that big
Not gonna lie, your son is a little cutie. He looks pretty happy go lucky. Also I'm so sorry for your loss, all us fish keepers know and understand exactly how you feel.
My name is Beth and im from upstate ny. I love all fish. Im severally dissabled and can longer work. I love my tanks and it is so peacefull to hear the water and watch them swim. Im so sorry to hear whar happend. I wish i could enjoy tanks like you have. When i losr my job of being a schook bus driver of 18 years due to no longer be able to walk well any more because i have sever neropathy and is getting worse, I wanted to committ suicede. the connections i made with all age groups on my buse was extremely fullfilling and my enjoyment of tanks and fish. I dont get to see my family much. the complex i live in is riddled with crime repairs arent done. i could go on but wont. I became a sever alchoholic went to rehab. I have no one that stops to say hello. It is just me and my small support dog. Watching your shows lifts my spirits and you all give me a reason to continue in this life. I will never be able to affprd your fish or get the chance to meet you as i can no longer travel. Please continue to do your shows because i look forward to them very much. your son is beautifu;; and so are you guys as well. Thanks for letting me share. Lpve Beth Terrell Rome Ny
Me and my father in-law stopped to see you at Aquashella and had a lot of fun and he was so happy to see you and was upset with what happened with the fish.
I hate that you lost your favorite fish! It’s so unique to be in a position to have that kind of fish in this hobby. But we all MoveOn and hopefully, the person responsible will get his back in Carmel tenfold. Sorry I missed you at Aqua Sheila as well. I came by your booth two or three times but miss you each time🐠🦯
My heart dropped. I'm so sorry for you loss as she was such an amazing fish that you raised. Hope the problem in that tank get sorted out and no more issues arise
I'm so sorry to hear that sir. Arapaimas are also my favourite fish and I started keeping one because I saw how beautiful they are in your videos. Really cool personality and really really beautiful fish and to hear that your paima died it's just heartbreaking. I'm really sorry for your loss.
It was a pleasure meeting you at Aquashella. I’m sorry about the loss. I could tell how much you loved that fish. Thank for all the effort you put in to set up what was the most epic display at the show. We have losses along the way, some minor and some major. We carry on. Thanks!
I think you need to do another water change and change the driftwood and sand. Whatever they used might still not be flushed out or soaked into the hardscape
Hey guys I’m a huge fan I’ve been watching the videos for over a year. Seeing the monster fish you have has pushed me to work harder so I can some day keep monster fish too! Seeing you lose fish always makes me so sad, watching them for so long, I can’t imagine how you feel, so sorry for you’re lost. Finally I have a 400 gallon outdoor pond I keep goldfish in year round. I’d love and be honored to take care of those 2 goldfish you have. Love from Buffalo, NY.
I’m so sorry to hear about the ARAPAIMA. I love how instead of you giving up on your hobby. You decide to get more ARAPAIMA. I understand what it means to grow up a fish . I just lost my Koi I had for eight years. I had this female Koi since she was a Fry. Remember Bro you have an amazing Job . God Bless 🐟😃👍
Hi Rod Sorry to hear you lost more fish bro, I can see the pain in your eyes, when you talk about it. The fish you lost to no fault of your own. God saw who done it, that scam bag will get delt with. Ryan's alittle cutey pie. Lisa great videoing.
So very sorry for your loss It's never easy to lose a pet especially when you put so much time and love Into I understand why you don't want to know who did this trust me. Stay strong I think it would be super cool to see another airplane or 2 You and the family be good.
Sorry to hear of your losses. Maybe you should think about cameras to have on the big fish 24/7 for the future to keep an eye on them. Just throwing it all there. Condolences to you.
SO sorry for all of your recent tragic losses, it's enough to make anyone consider leaving the hobby... But just think of how many fish you have saved/gave a better life, a true fish hero! Also, it looks like even baby Ryan had a good time at Aquashella! Such a cutie!
I have a shirt that says. I used to be a people person but people ruined it! So sorry gor all the loss but looking forward 😊 you got a BEAUTIFUL family and friends. Stay vigilant and stay positive. You got this. 💚✌🏻
that guy who ever messed with your fishes will pay for it Rod the we always on your side keep rocking like you always have we look up to you and when we go down we come back up stronger dont we
Was amazing getting to meet you at Aquashella, and thank you for being apart of the Fishtube picture! Your son is absolutely adorable!! So so sorry for the loss of your Arapaima!
I lost my puffer last year unexpectedly. Bad live feeder shrimp I'm thinking. It kinda knocked me off my game for quite awhile. I'm down to 1 easy tank that basically runs itself and I just can't quite bring myself to get that second tank up and running again with another expensive fish. It sucks to lose fish, especially when somebody else ruins it for you. Keep your head up man...
So sorry for your lost…. I can feel you and lisa how sad you guys coz it’s the same feeling i had when i heard the sad news… those are my favorite to watch on your videos and i admire you how you raised such a wonderful fish…im here for you guys from the Philippines 🇵🇭 love you all
Hi rod, avid sub here and loving that arapaima since this channel started and I'm sorry for your loss.. I think you need to check the tank system too (maybe there's something still in the water/system that causing these chain of events to happen) and you can narrow and identify the cause if its still there.. cheer up and we know you will overcome this! btw your little kiddo is so adorable haha!
Now you watch lil man & the new Pima grow at the same time. No worries bro. Just the start to something much bigger. Also anytime you want to get rid of salt fish I'll take em. Esp if you ever come across coral
I'm so sorry for your loss Rod and Lisa and lil man that fish was living art like all the other ones you guys have . Hope things stay on the up and up and as always stay and blessed 💙💚🐐💚💙
Rod and family, sorry for the loss, she will be missed, as you mentioned people from all over the world knew and viewed her many times. Is their a lab in your area that can test the water or a tissue biopsy to determine the organism. Again so sorry,
Sorry you lost the arapiama. That was my favorite of your pond fish. I personally believe the person who poisoned the pond should be held accountable, once you find out who did it. Anyways I hope you and your family have good days with your sales and have a happy Father's Day
Sorry for the loss. Everyone says its your loss. But we do love those fishes as much as you do. Hope a new fish will outgrow the lost one. Hope his soul be in heaven.
1st it was good to see you at aquashella. Hate to be this way but autopsy by a ichthyologist will likely be the only way you might know what the cause of death was. However, I do agree with others that you need to break down that entire system and quarantine each fish. Gonna take some time to reestablish and cycle. But it’s gotta be done. I am so sorry for your loss and wishing you better days ahead.
I would get the water tested and have a necropsy done. Especially with the amount of money in your tanks. May she swim in peace ❤️ Also I’m legit so excited for that betta fish shirt! As I rescue bettas all the time so I’m super excited
I'm so sorry for the loss of your favorite fish man it's just not fair to happen to a good man like you. Please keep advancing though man 🤟 your a role model to people you don't even know.
Man, I'm so sorry about your pet. She was well loved, and we are all hurt that she's gone. There aren't many people that would take care of her like you did. I understand not wanting to know who is responsible because we can all imagine how that'd go.
Am sorry for your loss man... As a fish hobbyist myself since 5 years... I know that deep pain😢😥😥😥... But like you said never give up and do work harder ❤️❤️❤️... The future does have surprises ❤️❤️
Hey Rod it was good meeting you and the family at the show, very rare you me a rockstar and they live up to their persona but you the real deal. We all lost the monster you should make a special edition muscle shirt with it
Sorry for your loss I know how you feel I got a beautiful wild arowana from you guys had ham for almost a year came home from work and found him float ing I wonder if we'll ever put stuff in your tank even if you did a water change if the chemical or whatever managed to contaminate the filters I'm sorry but if I were you and I found the fish dead that first day I would have cleaned everything and started from scratch I know it's a pain with the bigger tanks but got to do what you got to do to save your fish I'm praying for you and hope all your other fish make it
Rod, you need to completely drain, clean and replace your media aswell as decor and sand. I feel as though whatever got dumped into there is still lingering. Also I am sorry for your loss… it only gets harder before it gets better. Just hang in there!
Sounds to me you need to completely drain that tank and change the filter out...Maybe put a lot of antibacterial treatments in it in case there is something in the water still that is harming the fish before any others die
That breaks my heart, man. That araipama was one of my favorite fish in the shop.
My hart feels weird when he said that
Rod and Lisa, I am SO very sorry for your loss. It boggles my mind that some little punk would want to do harm to your fishes. And that one person has now screwed it up for everyone else who wants to come see your incredible collection. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and in my heart. And I am so glad that you did not let it stop you from going to the event. I am sure your fans were glad you were there. Take care
“I wouldn’t call the cops.” Love it. I actually talked to you at Aquashella about this and agreed about the cops thing. I thought about it though. They have access to stuff you definitely do not. They can access cctv cameras from all over that area and might come up with something. I also thought about an autopsy?

It’s a bacterial infection, the red is sepsis & is a result of bursting capillaries caused by the systemic infection. The Pig-Nosed Turtle also has signs of an infection on the top of its carapace. This can be caused by scratching etc initially, but without adequate treatment can quickly become septic too. It sounds to me like water quality issues…
Assuming the turtle is normally white, I thought the same. Those red blotches scream bacterial/viral infection, the water quality could be the effect of whatever was put into the tank killing off the good bacteria.

I’d love and be honored to take care of those 2 goldfish you have. Love from Buffalo, NY.
I’m so sorry to hear about the ARAPAIMA. I love how instead of you giving up on your hobby. You decide to get more ARAPAIMA. I understand what it means to grow up a fish . I just lost my Koi I had for eight years. I had this female Koi since she was a Fry. Remember Bro you have an amazing Job . God Bless 🐟😃👍
It was a pleasure meeting you guys. Hope to see you when we visit ur site. Sorry to hear about your tank.
So sorry for your loss! I've been raising keeping and keeping for 30 years! Keep crushing! Congrats on a happy healthy baby boy!
I am very sorry for your loss! I am just catching up on some videos. I had no clue this happen. Keeping your family on my prayers.
Cute baby guys congratulations!!! I also very much agree that it is better that you not know who hurt your fish. Much love guys.
Hi Rod
Sorry to hear you lost more fish bro,
I can see the pain in your eyes, when you talk about it.
The fish you lost to no fault of your own.
God saw who done it, that scam bag will get delt with.
Ryan's alittle cutey pie.
Lisa great videoing.
So very sorry for your loss It's never easy to lose a pet especially when you put so much time and love Into I understand why you don't want to know who did this trust me. Stay strong I think it would be super cool to see another airplane or 2 You and the family be good.
I hate to hear that those fish died. I know you love all those fish! Great attitude moving forward! #Progress
Sorry for your loss. I can't wait to see the new ones grow up.
I’m sorry for your loss!! We appreciate and thank you for sharing what you do with us!!!! 🤍🤍
Sorry to hear of your losses. Maybe you should think about cameras to have on the big fish 24/7 for the future to keep an eye on them. Just throwing it all there. Condolences to you.
The most iconic fish, heart breaking. Take time to grieve!♥️
SO sorry for all of your recent tragic losses, it's enough to make anyone consider leaving the hobby... But just think of how many fish you have saved/gave a better life, a true fish hero! Also, it looks like even baby Ryan had a good time at Aquashella! Such a cutie!
I have a shirt that says. I used to be a people person but people ruined it! So sorry gor all the loss but looking forward 😊 you got a BEAUTIFUL family and friends. Stay vigilant and stay positive. You got this. 💚✌🏻
that guy who ever messed with your fishes will pay for it Rod the we always on your side keep rocking like you always have we look up to you and when we go down we come back up stronger dont we
No room for the huge fish monsters, but do have a pond full of gold fish. lol they are cute. Tfs hugs
Was amazing getting to meet you at Aquashella, and thank you for being apart of the Fishtube picture! Your son is absolutely adorable!! So so sorry for the loss of your Arapaima!
Aw man! Sorry for your lost. I definitely want to come back to the shop. Haven’t been by since the Fish Bash. 💯✊🏽
I loved watching you feed the the fish and I will miss that one. One day I hope to get a set up so I can get some beautiful fish.
I lost my puffer last year unexpectedly. Bad live feeder shrimp I'm thinking. It kinda knocked me off my game for quite awhile. I'm down to 1 easy tank that basically runs itself and I just can't quite bring myself to get that second tank up and running again with another expensive fish. It sucks to lose fish, especially when somebody else ruins it for you. Keep your head up man...
Sorry for the loss of such a majestic fish...🥺😞... many blessings predatory fins fam!🙏🏼
This little guy is so cute ...love you little bro Ryan
So sorry to hear about your fish. Please bring in the tank top in 2x and 3x. I wish your family the best.
So sorry for your lost…. I can feel you and lisa how sad you guys coz it’s the same feeling i had when i heard the sad news… those are my favorite to watch on your videos and i admire you how you raised such a wonderful fish…im here for you guys from the Philippines 🇵🇭 love you all
So sorry for your loss but do a complete water change and scrub the tank out just to make sure the other fishes do not die.
I wasn't even watching the video, I was vibin with the song.. had to watch it twice
Damn brother, god has a plan for you with bigger and better things. Keep pushing we still here
Sad to hear that, love that araipama. Hope things get better, like you said dont think about it. Get back stronger rod!
That baby is the CUTEST CHILD I've ever seen. Including my own. ***shhh don't tell them***
So sorry for your loss. Loved that fish. Thank you for staying strong thru this evil. Y’all are encouraging so many!
Hi rod, avid sub here and loving that arapaima since this channel started and I'm sorry for your loss.. I think you need to check the tank system too (maybe there's something still in the water/system that causing these chain of events to happen) and you can narrow and identify the cause if its still there.. cheer up and we know you will overcome this! btw your little kiddo is so adorable haha!
Now you watch lil man & the new Pima grow at the same time. No worries bro. Just the start to something much bigger.
Also anytime you want to get rid of salt fish I'll take em. Esp if you ever come across coral
Sorry for your loss Rod,this really sux mate,love your fish and what you do for the hobby 💔😪😢😥😰🇦🇺
It was awesome to have met you at aquashella rod, So sorry to here about the fish bro.
I'm so sorry for your loss Rod and Lisa and lil man that fish was living art like all the other ones you guys have . Hope things stay on the up and up and as always stay and blessed 💙💚🐐💚💙
Rod and family, sorry for the loss, she will be missed, as you mentioned people from all over the world knew and viewed her many times. Is their a lab in your area that can test the water or a tissue biopsy to determine the organism. Again so sorry,
Sorry to hear about the araipama that sucks beautiful fish. The Goldfish are so cute
Sorry you lost the arapiama. That was my favorite of your pond fish. I personally believe the person who poisoned the pond should be held accountable, once you find out who did it. Anyways I hope you and your family have good days with your sales and have a happy Father's Day
Rest in peace for arapaima.. love seeing you being strong n going on with what you love .. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Respect from India 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sorry for the loss. Everyone says its your loss. But we do love those fishes as much as you do. Hope a new fish will outgrow the lost one. Hope his soul be in heaven.
sorry for your loss your pets are like family and i always love seeing your family love the vids
1st it was good to see you at aquashella.
Hate to be this way but autopsy by a ichthyologist will likely be the only way you might know what the cause of death was. However, I do agree with others that you need to break down that entire system and quarantine each fish. Gonna take some time to reestablish and cycle. But it’s gotta be done.
I am so sorry for your loss and wishing you better days ahead.
I would get the water tested and have a necropsy done. Especially with the amount of money in your tanks. May she swim in peace ❤️
Also I’m legit so excited for that betta fish shirt! As I rescue bettas all the time so I’m super excited
I'm so sorry for the loss of your favorite fish man it's just not fair to happen to a good man like you. Please keep advancing though man 🤟 your a role model to people you don't even know.
Man, I'm so sorry about your pet. She was well loved, and we are all hurt that she's gone. There aren't many people that would take care of her like you did. I understand not wanting to know who is responsible because we can all imagine how that'd go.
Am sorry for your loss man...
As a fish hobbyist myself since 5 years... I know that deep pain😢😥😥😥...
But like you said never give up and do work harder ❤️❤️❤️...
The future does have surprises ❤️❤️
Hey Rod it was good meeting you and the family at the show, very rare you me a rockstar and they live up to their persona but you the real deal. We all lost the monster you should make a special edition muscle shirt with it
Try to get the fish that died tested to see what in there system
Sorry for your loss I know how you feel I got a beautiful wild arowana from you guys had ham for almost a year came home from work and found him float ing I wonder if we'll ever put stuff in your tank even if you did a water change if the chemical or whatever managed to contaminate the filters I'm sorry but if I were you and I found the fish dead that first day I would have cleaned everything and started from scratch I know it's a pain with the bigger tanks but got to do what you got to do to save your fish I'm praying for you and hope all your other fish make it
Rod, you need to completely drain, clean and replace your media aswell as decor and sand. I feel as though whatever got dumped into there is still lingering. Also I am sorry for your loss… it only gets harder before it gets better. Just hang in there!
Sorry for your loss but keep at it you inspire so many of us
You are such a great dad
I would buy 2 or 3 of those sponges for my IBC totes with grow outs
Sorry for your lost,but as you said you're nice to everyone,soon you we'll received more blessings rod
