Freshwater prawns don't require brackish water, heck; we have freshwater prawns in the concrete irrigation canals in central California and prawns are often cultivated in the rice paddies in central and northern California. Those mosquito fish were likely decimating any freshly hatched prawn larva. If you want the prawns to breed successfully, they'll need cover of some sort for the larva to hide in.
Use to make PVC frames with 1/4 in mesh spaced about 2 or 3 inches part for cover for the fry. This was at a deer lease and we’d feed the prawns the scraps from what ever game was taken. Scoop a few out for use in the bass pond. Worked like gang busters. Minnow traps to keep the mosquito fish at bay.
As a fisherman and a scientist, I am addicted to your videos. I could fish and tag fish all day. It would make my day if you graph the data and show a geotagged map of the pond. Keep posting.
I live in one of the most densely populated places in North America (Downtown Core, Toronto, Canada). This channel is straight up therapy for me sometimes- it helps me forget the day. And as someone who shares your passion for maps and graphs, I completely 100% agree.
You just popped up on my feed. Youuuuuu sonofabisch..... 20 minutes and I do believe I'm as hooked as your aggressive bass. Wild project, beautiful scenery, attention to detail, and all around pure relaxing entertainment. Thank you!
You should reach out to native habitat project (guy is located in Alabama I think). He is really passionate about restoring native prairies and wildlife populations. Since you like doing experiments and such, you could maybe do a small plot of native, no mow prairie and see how different it is than planting the food plots for your deer and wildlife.
Those two falcons are definitely Kestrels. You can tell by the bluish grey on their wings. They are tiny falcons that basically only eat small song birds or insects. We have a few at are sanctuary. Super cool little birds. They're like 100ish grams so they are tiny. The males have more bluish grey so you can tell which one is which. Also the females are slightly bigger than the males, like most raptors. Super cool to see though. Love the natural wildlife videos! Keep it up!
Those bass are GROWING! Nice to see. Love the methodical, disciplined approach you've taken to this project. It's become quite the experiment and makes for damned good entertainment.
Definitely move him to the aquascape pond then feed him protein pellets and other protein packed meals as much as you can. It would be interesting to see how quickly he'd grow compared to the other bass.
The birds you saw are kestrels they just have a thing known as ocelli which give them those false eyes on the back of their heads. The feet have different colors that can vary based on location, diet, sex, age and genetics I fixed my comment based on reply, thanks for the clarifications.
It is not genetics or location that determines foot color. the feet color varies based on DIET and age. Younger birds are not able to build up extra beta carotene which is what makes the feet go from yellow -> orange -> a very reddish shade of orange.
I love seeing updates on the pond. I live in GA and i hope to be able to do something like this at some point in time. Just a serene pond to relax at and harvest from time to time.
I’ve practically memorized the intro at this point, but I never get bored of these videos and I’m always excited for a new one. This is simply the best series on RUclips.
Definitely American Kestrel. Peregrine are larger and don't typically have that rust coloration, and the 'eye spots' mark them as Kestrels for sure! When I was a kid we had a nesting pair of Kestrels make their home in a crevice in our roof for a few summers. I loved watching them, one of my favorite bird species! 🐦
I live near Castaic CA, and it’s a good sized lake. I try to pay attention to the different marking/scar stuff on the fish I catch. I’ve caught the same bass several times.
Up here in Michigan we use steel wash tubs with holes drilled in bottom for drainage and owls nest in them every year. U can screw them to a existing tree with multiple limb groupings. As high as u can get it. We then clean them out once a year after there babies have flown the nest.
Early congrats on 1 million subscribers!! It's wild how much your channel has blown up over the past couple years.. this pond series if without a doubt my favorite on RUclips.
I think Tiger must definitely be moved to the new Aquascapes pond! Will be a good place to monitor and compare his progress to the rest of the same bass species in the 5 acre pond
Kestrels for sure. I have six nesting boxes. They're mouse/vole specialist. The 'windows' in the primary feathers are the 'tell'. Peregrines don't have them.
I've seen several that I thought were falcons, but at the same they couldn't be. So I concluded they had to be kestrels which I didn't know we had up in new England.
@@danglyballs Hobby no - but merlin yeah, sort of, but the rich rufous brown of the male's tail is never seen on either. Merlin's probably the most likely confusion species for a female American Kestrel though.
honestly think putting tiger in the smaller pond would be a great idea. observing one solo bass and being able to directly monitor feeding and watch him grow would be super entertaining and very interesting.
I absolutely love your little laugh when you catch a fish. I can sure hear the joy in your voice and it reminds me of my daddy fishing when I was a kid.
I'm always in bed before your video drops but always enjoy it on my way to work on Mondays. Congrats on such an incredible pond and on doing such a great job sharing it.
The way you’ve documented so much about your pond build is very impressive. The spreadsheet you are compiling is very detailed. Are there any other entities interested in what you’re doing? (Universities, feed companies, etc)
I think it would be really cool to have tiger in the aqua-scape pond. it would be interesting to see how he interacts with infinite prey and far less competition, compared the the 5 acre pond bass who have potentially less food and more competition.
@@stankysixinch For I handed on to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures; that he was buried; that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures 3c 1 Corinthians 15:and w i
That is definitely a pair of kestrels. I see a pair of them every morning while I'm out walking the dog at a nearby park. The color and size gives them away, the smallest bird of prey.
I'm a longtime birder: Defiantly a Kestral, unless, the other choice would be a "Sparrow Hawk". Peregrins are my favorite bird, as well as Cooper's Hawks, found in most neiborhoods across the nation. Both are larger than Kestral's. the Kestral's (or maybe sparrow hawks?) shown here are a breeding pair and fully grown. I call the hawks "Ghostbirds" because if you see them they're sure to disappear before your eyes, lol. I even named my bass boat the Ghostbird, lol
Yeah most definitely kestrel, growing up we had both kestrels and peregrine's. Kestrels are about half a pound at full size where the peregrines are about 2lbs.
Another birder. I agree, too. Definitely a kestrel. Ive never heard of a perergrin eating dragonflies but have seen kestrels eat them. Plus perergrins are bigger than these birds.
@@AverageSulli Yep. The Cooper's hawks are just slightly smaller than the peregrines, and what folks see more of. Both incredible flyers and can pick off a songbird midair. I'm in the country. I have a large "Snow on the Mountain" shrub that grows really dense by my platform feeder. After the Blue jays sound the alarm, they stay still in it while the Cooper's hawk sits right there waiting for one to try to escape, one time it was over an hour!
Move Tiger to new pond and then eventually to the 5 acre pond. Like the idea of transitioning them from aquarium to small pond to 5 acre pond. Gives you a history with them!
An interesting and tasty suggestion for your pond. Try Redclaw Crayfish ( Cherax quadricarinatus). They breed like rabbits, grow very fast ( up to 15 inches and 20 ounces in 18 months) and they taste great
Move tiger into the aquascape pond, he will provide a great start for it in terms of video footage, and will make a nice transistion from aquarium to massive pond
I would recommend for owls to build a nesting box ! Here in Germany owls love nesting boxes … especially for reproduction! … it is important to have a hiding spot for the young owls
I agree. I have never seen an owl on a platform. They are nesting somewhere so the offspring will need a place, and nesting box at the pond would be cool.
The only thing I don’t like about your videos it’s honestly the fact that you don’t post more… keep up the good work man this will always be my favorite channel
With the prawns, I'm assuming they are a lot like amano shrimp where they can mate and get eggs, they just wont hatch/develop unless they have access to brackish water
very likely correct. I've had the amano shrimps in aquariums for years and they are constantly holding eggs similar to the ones on that prawn, as far as i understand they release the fertilized eggs and they then go down rivers/streams to brackish conditions where they develop as larvae until they are developed enough to go back into freshwater. Not 100% on this of course 👍
New subscriber here. I love the wildlife care you're doing on your property. Creating a good enviroment for all is key to conservation. Your pond looks to be in great shape, growing several different species. You seem to have hit the right balance of feeders to predators, something i don't see in alot of ponds. Those bass creeping into 3lb range will start decimating more and more Prawn.
It would be neat to see Tiger in the Aquascape pond with other native species including some monster live prawns and live shad. Greg does amazing work. Can't wait to see what y'all have in store. I wish I could have him come out and help me with my pond!!
Owls like box nests ( hollow tree , barns ect) to protect the young.. would be fun to see them build one but I think they like to be more secretive... thanks for the videos
Those prep meals look incredible, wish they were available in the UK! Thanks for the content, I’m obsessed with this video, I watch with my son and it’s inspired me to move out of central London and get a place in the country to start fishing and doing outdoor activities with with 2 kids 👍
The eggs need brackish water to survive and hatch but the prawns don't need brackish water to spawn. You could make a low saline hatchery with trofs and tubs. Looks like its pretty easy to hatch them.
Stumbled on this channel. This guys set up is AMAZING. Auto Subbed and off to watch more of his vids. Man this place would be so relaxing and good for mental health. He should build a few chalets and offer country retreats for folks.Good business idea right there.
These vids have been better and better everytime. Love the deer in Bonnie's bayou also. That October full moon was closer than ive ever seen in NJ. Thanks for everything we appreciate the hard work. GOD BLESS y'all
I say put the tiger bass into the new aquascape pond for monitoring. Then use the aquarium to get into a tropical species since you already have so many options for the bass. I highly recommend Parachromis dovii. They call them rainbow bass down south, and for good reason! Get yourself a nice Costa Rican blue male and you'll see how beautiful freshwater fish can truly be in person!
Those particular prawns need brackish water for the first larval stages of their life. Once the molt to a post larval stage they live entirely in fresh water. So more than likely won’t hatch, but there is always exceptions. Also, I vote to put tiger into the aquascape pond and power feed him to be a monster. 😂
Maybe he should establish a nursery tank with brackish water. When he traps females with eggs he can drop them in there until the eggs release and raise the larvae until he can put them back in the pond.
@@arttrumbo9496 it’s a good idea, the trouble is the only places these shrimp can overwinter in the US is south Florida and Hawaii. So he would need heaters, and a recirculating system to keep an eye on them for when they are close to hatching, then you have to separate the larvae from the freshwater and move them to brackish because the adult shrimp can’t tolerate it for very long. It’s a lot of work when you can have the convenience of buying thousands of larvae for a couple hundred dollars
@@rosshusty6240 I was thinking more along the lines of a glass aquarium like the one in his house where he keeps the pet bass. I suppose he could also use a livestock trough in the garage or something.
Definitely an American Kestrel, they have the eyeball pattern on the back of their head, and they are muchhh smaller. They are the smallest falcons. Also Perregrines wouldn't be eating bugs, they are after bigger game, like mice, rabbits and similar sized mammals
Freshwater prawns don't require brackish water, heck; we have freshwater prawns in the concrete irrigation canals in central California and prawns are often cultivated in the rice paddies in central and northern California.
Those mosquito fish were likely decimating any freshly hatched prawn larva. If you want the prawns to breed successfully, they'll need cover of some sort for the larva to hide in.
Use to make PVC frames with 1/4 in mesh spaced about 2 or 3 inches part for cover for the fry. This was at a deer lease and we’d feed the prawns the scraps from what ever game was taken. Scoop a few out for use in the bass pond. Worked like gang busters. Minnow traps to keep the mosquito fish at bay.
Most likely a lot will die off because it's not brackish water but it shouldn't make a huge difference though I doubt any will survive the bass
I agree, mosquito fish are noxious, should have gone with Melanotaenia fluviatilis or M. duboulayi imo
If you have a lot of tilapia deaths your ammonia levels with get dangerous for the other fish
@@Aiken47 he didn’t put the mosquito fish, eggs just get carried from ducks to separate bodies of water.

Yes!!! Kyle Lybarger. He is up in northern Al. Great dude!!!
I love his videos about controlled burns
I would love that 😻
Those fresh water prawns are some of the best eating shrimp there is.
Something to note, the owl at 24:10 was a barred owl. But the owls you usually see on the pond are great horned owls. Pretty neat.
Yep definitely Barred
and 'hooter' and 'owl capone' are great horned owls FOR SURE.
That is also the owl we heard.
The owl was barred from the property?? Lmao…. 😮😊😅😂
@TheAlmighty896 Shit trash🤣
Fresh water prawn cook in coconut milk with lemon grass, onion and green chillies .... so good
I love the drone shots of the bass feeding, It is always cool to watch new bits of nature you have never seen before
Ok
Yes! I thought they were solitary ambush predators!

Wow a bass is growing!
Been watching since day 1, just absolutely insane how much life has prospered in this pond thanks to you!
We needed more of the green light bass feeding. Love to watch those bass blow up.
Definitely move him to the aquascape pond then feed him protein pellets and other protein packed meals as much as you can. It would be interesting to see how quickly he'd grow compared to the other bass.

@@geoffhirschi803 alot of birds feet change color during breeding season too

The fishing and tracking weights is really great - I could watch an hr of this easily
You should test using a white colored lure mimicking tilapia and a bluegill colored lure and see which is more effective. Love the progress
I second this!
Could probably hook a piece of grass for lure and catch a bass
Yea

“Folks at home…” it’s becoming a classic.
I will admit I do skip them now but its funny cause every week it grows longer and longer so I have to skip further and further.

You should have an underwater scanner at the dock always active to see what bass swims by.
Great idea!
Fantastic idea
He’s already got plans for multiple
I absolutely love fishing small ponds…and this project is so fascinating to see the tag data.
I live near Castaic CA, and it’s a good sized lake. I try to pay attention to the different marking/scar stuff on the fish I catch. I’ve caught the same bass several times.
Your channel as well as you efforts are amazingly enjoyable to view. Thank you for all of your efforts to share with us.
Amazing Pond.
With love and admiration from New Zealand.
Always brightens my day to see another pond video. What a cool project.
it would be intersting to see some of those shrimp in a fish tank and see if the eggs do hatch.
Up here in Michigan we use steel wash tubs with holes drilled in bottom for drainage and owls nest in them every year. U can screw them to a existing tree with multiple limb groupings. As high as u can get it.

It’s always a blessing seeing @bamabass posts!! Loving this series!
You should keep legal limit of bass and keep some 5 plus pounders from spots that you know have a lot of big fish for ur 5 acre pond
I really hope this series is still going 5 years down the road.
Those aerial shots off the bass were awesome!
Also, thanks for the info on feed training - my goldfish are def getting better now that I have a regular sound system to cue them to come and eat.

They will hatch, they will die after a couple days though. Orange eggs will turn brown three days before release. They need 14 ppm salinity to develop
That is correct.
Maybe he should establish a nursery tank with brackish water. When he traps females with eggs he can drop them in there until the eggs release and raise the larvae until he can put them back in the pond.
@@arttrumbo9496 it’s a good idea, the trouble is the only places these shrimp can overwinter in the US is south Florida and Hawaii. So he would need heaters, and a recirculating system to keep an eye on them for when they are close to hatching, then you have to separate the larvae from the freshwater and move them to brackish because the adult shrimp can’t tolerate it for very long. It’s a lot of work when you can have the convenience of buying thousands of larvae for a couple hundred dollars
@@rosshusty6240 I was thinking more along the lines of a glass aquarium like the one in his house where he keeps the pet bass. I suppose he could also use a livestock trough in the garage or something.
We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.
Definitely an American Kestrel, they have the eyeball pattern on the back of their head, and they are muchhh smaller. They are the smallest falcons. Also Perregrines wouldn't be eating bugs, they are after bigger game, like mice, rabbits and similar sized mammals
peregrines hunt birds, not mammals.
