Hi twitch. For the arapaima you would use a fabric/ wet stretcher & a forklift truck. They are used all the time in large aquariums & wild rescues of sea animals.
Side note: Here’s a text translation if anyone ever needed it “When they were tired of being locked up in the aquarium, they tried to escape but found out they suffocate on land”
He’s breathing in His final breath AUAUUUUGGHHHH *sigh He’s going to Emergency To see if his nards Can be remedied A catfish, with ma-alice. Made him a girl And recorded it
Hello! I was actually working as a beach lifeguard last summer and saw the Coast Malone catfish scene go down in person! Guy was drunk and tried to catch an ocean catfish with his hands, ended up trying to restrain it to his chest and got stabbed in the belly by the inch-long dorsal barb. Deep. Worst part is, by the time I showed up his friends had cut the catfish off, leaving the barb in. As soon as the guy took a breath in the barb got sucked underneath his skin… He ended up going to the hospital to get it removed. You never know what the next day will bring out there
A thing to note: I looked into the river of fish and what happened is that a tanker truck full of small fish (for a fishery or something) had a valve open up somehow as it was driving so all these fish where then pumped onto the road along with all the water in the tanker too as it drove along, creating the "river" of fish. Those fish are sadly probably all dead soon after and thats also thousands in whatever currency of fish just gone
AVNJ actually thanks to your vids my mom put me on aquarium duty. Thank god too, because she's one of those "fish don't deserve to be treated well" people. I'm gonna make sure whatever little guys we get are treated well! (she saw me watching you and was like "ive actually been thinking about getting an aquairium"
For your camera get a extremely buoyant slip bobber rig on a very heavy action fish rod with some 80-100 lb braided line, that way you can cast, and adjust just your cameras depth in the water Column, the wind, waves, or current can all help move the camera around and get you more fish on camera!
9:34 incase anyone was curious about what it said: "When your so tired of getting imprisoned in an aquarium so you try to escape but you realize its actually deadly on land"
That mountain one is probably north western US or BC/Alberta. And I could absolutely see some of my family members from the BC interior doing something like this, it's just kinda the vibe up there you have to make the best of unpredictable situations in that environment. 10/10 wholesome and hope he enjoyed his fish.
@@zeallust8542 last year i went to steamboat from Denver and there were two on the way. The mountains didn't look the the Sierras either, but there can't be too many tunnels with a river/body of water at one end.
I always was pretty confused by the notion of flushing fish myself. Whenever one of our fish or frogs died, we buried it in the garden. I don't get why Fish and Frogs so often get this shafted treatment, they're just as alive as your other pets.
I doubt you'll see this one, but maybe you could put the new camera on fishing line? or some kind of rope, and maybe give it a wider, weighted bottom to slow it down in the water and keep it upright
Had an upside-down catfish (synodontis nigriventris) in my 125 with a baby endlicheri Polypterus, and I guess I missed a feeding so the endlicheri decided to go after the syno, got his head and only his head into his mouth, saw it, shooed the bichir away and thought the syno was dead, wished him a rip, put him in the toilet and flushed, he didn't go down, about an hour later i went back into the bathroom and he was swimming around, I was like "WTF HES ALIVE?!?" got him out, put him in a hospital tank and he survived, to this day
one bulletproof syno. oddly enough my nigriventris was the only fish in my entire tank that perished when my filter busted and almost completely drained my 72 gallon out of 11 other fish 2 of which were other synodontis
That one dude picking up the stonefish reminded me of when steve from walked up to a snake and said "this is the most venomous snake in the world" then proceeded to pick it up
I'm going to be honest for a second I thought the guy in the thumbnail was a picture of you from a dark point in your life we didn't know about. Like where you got bad tattoos, moved to Florida, had a dark fish professor era until a fish bitting you lead to turning your life around to your current streamer/RUclipsr era.
Ha fun fact: As i worked at the one zoo we did our morning routine and noticed a fully sized arapaima in the wrong tank. He jumped from the one tank to the other over night. Took about 10 men to hunt him untill he didn't have enough energy anymore and we could catch him with a net and lift him over to the other tank. That was quite a morning xD. If i find a article about it il send it in😂
To answer your question: yes, my family flushes dead fish down the toilet. My aunt and uncle have had fish for 20 years now, and when one dies, down the toilet it goes. I... never questioned it until now. We live in Europe btw, specifically Portugal, don't know if the location is important.
i do it from time to time. then again over the years i have disposed of deceased fish in various ways over the years. flushing, burying, disposing of them in the trash etc.
flushing supposedly dead fish down the toilet was a phenomenon before Finding Nemo. The movie got kids doing it with live fish, which is a bigger problem.
For the big ass fish out of water, you get a blanket lay it down, scare it to rolling that way onto blanket, then 4 people lift the corners and carry to water.
Gotta admit, yeh, when a fish dies, I usually flush it. I mean, our sewerage system handles thousands of tons of human waste every day, it can probably deal with a 20 gramm carcass once every few years. And since I keep fish that require tropical temperatures and I live in a temperate region, I don't really have to worry about some fish miraculously resurrecting and becoming invasive in the sewage system (plus, it's like really obvious when they're dead because they become heavily discouloured very quickly). I guess there's probably other ways of disposing of the carcass but really, I don't see any downsides to it and also I'd rather have just a quick solution when a fish dies because I know from unfortunate experience that they very quickly start smelling utterly horrible once they're dead.
10:15 I guess you can tranquilize it? I don't know if that's even an option, I don't know how fish react to tranquilizer but if they react like almost every other animal then it should work.
I never flushed my fish, my mom just told me to bury them in the garden to help the vegetables grow better lol. I now usually give them a burial in a terrarium since they just decompose and feed the plants, I dont get many dead fish tho.
You said arapaimas have killed people so I went to look it up because I've never heard of that, and I couldn't find any cases where that happened. Only articles about how Jeremy Wade almost died from one hitting him in the chest. Is there something I'm missing or were you just mistaken?
Yeah I looked it up as well and the only thing I found was the Arapaima being the ones found dead/killed and one alleged story about a Paima supposedly causing 2 people to drown but nobody can confirm what was the true cause doubt it was a Paima tho
11:30 so this may sound weird but my grandma used to live with me and used to own a garden so whatever dead fish i find i double check if their dead then remove the ammonia from their tank if its been there a while and then put it in my grandmas compost lmao(i own a garden and i still do it to this day)
"If you have nothing to do in traffic" Not gonna lie, I was tempted to go wait in the que to see the queen lying in state just because I thought I could actually get away with throwing a few lures around while there.
Yeah, Arapaima(our dear Pirarucu) is known for killing people, but if there was 1(one) crazy Manaura there they would tell u how their 90 year old grandma did it once, and it would be tru.
Yes. Originally people would flush dead fish instead of burying them or cremating them or whatever. Then kids saw finding Nemo and started flushing live fish down the toilet because “all drains lead to the ocean” so they thought they were setting them free and they’d live a better life than the child could provide with a goldfish bowl. This happened everywhere including places nowhere near an ocean and often they were freshwater fish.
A note about the last tiktok: There was a huge trend on Tiktok a few years back in which people would pretend to believe their betta was dead and be in the process of flushing it when the fish would "suddenly" show signs of life. However, most of the videos in this trend included the fish being completely flushed down the drain while the person behind the camera pretended to freak out. So, yes. People were literally killing their fish in droves in order to cash in on a Tiktok trend. At least the person in this video didn't actually flush it and can retrieve it from the toilet bowl after she's done filming, but I 100% guarantee this was not accidental.
Hi twitch! And I'm pretty sure people flushed them because you can just pour the fish bowl down the toilet easily, and then people lost the logic and started spooning them down the toilet.
I have NEVER flushed my fish down the toilet. It always seemed so callous. I buried them. But I understand if someone doesn't have a backyard why they'd flush them.
That music with that image honestl;y makes me think about the Plauges in the bible? Like loctus or frogs suddenly appearing...is that what the video is going for? Trying to like...compare it/make it a plauge?
The carp is in China, I can hear Chinese. Common carp are not native in China but have been in China for thousands of years. They are prized gamefish but not common in the wild cuz overfishing and pollution, these might be a fish pond that anglers pay to go fishing there. Probably hard to understand as an American cuz in the us fish are everywhere 😂 but in China, no.
Betta. They can live in a tank as small as 5 gallons, tap hardness(at least where I’m from) and room temperature water. You don’t need anything special for the params and they won’t disturb your sediment, though they can eat crustaceans .
Going off the comment that said Beta fish. It can be the ONLY fish in the tank, I know this as I made this mistake with a beta. They are super agressive and will attack any fish it is housed with. Also for Betas, they breathe air and will surface to the top of the tank every so often for a gulp of air. Also don't be alarmed when you don't see them moving much, Betas are just like that sometimes, doesn't mean they are dead, they are just chilling. I once had a Beta when I was younger named Blue-Violet. The fishie lived for about 5 years, it was a good fishie.
8:45 I love the fact that he kissed it, and then the cops came XD edit: also, n, I had fish as a kid, but I never flushed them. my at the time best friend helped me burry it outside

You know your tank has shitty water quality when the fish prefers toilet water

The weighted bottom is a good idea, people should like this comment so it gets seen.

That's one hell of a fish
Avnj being worried that the fish will eat the hook meanwhile the fish aren’t giving a fuck
The guy that picked up the stone fish made a video 7 years ago where he laid down next to a pregnant sting ray, I’m glad he still makes videos

my take on the 1:27 is they made a hole in the ice, where fish came to breathe or something and the guy stunnd them with the bucket
1:55 I can sense the overproud Indonesians from miles away and they're coming for you
11:15 When your fish is dying your aquarium water, and the toilet water is better quality and brings it back around 🙄.
As an aussie, i will replicate that behaviour to my detriment everytime
In Texas you can actually get charged with a felony for cheating a fishing tournament by altering the fish.
For the big ass fish out of water, you get a blanket lay it down, scare it to rolling that way onto blanket, then 4 people lift the corners and carry to water.
1:58 At least he doesn't have to worry about having any babies.
transparent plastic cases exist! you could also get a transparent cover for just the lenses

The only issue I can see is that it's quite wasteful, toilet flushes use multiple liters of water and are a major component of household water use.
10:15 I guess you can tranquilize it? I don't know if that's even an option, I don't know how fish react to tranquilizer but if they react like almost every other animal then it should work.
11:37 yeah. Clogged the toilet pretty bad by flushing a big goldfish once.
7:22 nahhh she'll be right mate, nothing to worry about.
"how are you just interacting"
Mate, that's us Australians for ya
for the arapaima: just wait till it dies and then flush it down the toilet like dory.
Fish go be eatin hooks like a mad lad
I never flushed my fish, my mom just told me to bury them in the garden to help the vegetables grow better lol. I now usually give them a burial in a terrarium since they just decompose and feed the plants, I dont get many dead fish tho.

Yeah, Arapaima(our dear Pirarucu) is known for killing people, but if there was 1(one) crazy Manaura there they would tell u how their 90 year old grandma did it once, and it would be tru.
Considering that toilet water is usually way colder than any fish tank has a right to be, it was probably dying from temperature shock in the toilet.
Re, the stonefish: He probably checked out the site before lying down. at least, I hope he did.
Those fish were just running from Crabzilla
Shark mystery box has to be the coolest thing I have heard of for a while
Welp, I just learned a lot more about Arapaimas than I expected and gotta say, I'm equally grateful to know this stuff and horrified that I now do.

Hi twitch chat I need to tell you about your car’s extended warranty!
They were fishing in the first one using a hair rig, it's where the hook us placed slightly off the bait so carp don't notice the hook

I put in the toilet when I didn't know better. Now I burry my fish under my roses. They are my pets as much as any other and I love them.
the last time my dad flushed a fish of mine
I sobbed
to prevent "Dori" experiences, if you think your fish is dead, put them in the freezer for 24 hours to ensure death has passed.
New fear unlocked
I mean he handled the stone fish correctly at least haha
