Speaking of water bills I have a coworker that believes he gets charged for any water he drains in his sink so anytime he changes the water in his tanks he pours them all outside to keep the water bill down. Lol
I used to have a few eels. Very intelligent and friendly. They would swim through fingers and eat from hand(loved chopped raw shrimp!) Often overlooked and underrated, eels are still awesome 🤘
thank you sir for spreading the word of how awesome eels are they are one of the most underappreciated animals and its sad their numbers are dwindling in the wild
Just came across eel pit guy on tiktok then found this vid! I don’t really have an interest in fish or anything but this was such a fun vid! Loved seeing you excited about all the creatures in his house!
So unique. Really cool. Thanks for sharing. I met a guy one time that said to me and my crew...." You gotta see this out back". We followed him around the house and he had 100+ finches and parakeets inside his screened in porch. It was beautiful !!
Pretty sweet! I would install a bunch of lights in that pit and plant a crapload of plants. Make it and underground tropical paradise. It would also cut down on the echo.
The water filtration involved in maintaining these guys would seem insane. Like they must spend a lot of time and money with charcoal - but I’m not familiar with the way fresh water is is dealt with in the south. Seems like they have everything under control and all of the animals seem very healthy and happy. Cant ask for more than that.
I grew up in a small town in QLD Australia, one of the few places to have a healthy population of Lung fish. Super protected, but every now and then they'll swim around you. Definitely a great experience, like swimming with dinosaurs 🙂🦕
The tortoises seems to mostly have some pyramiding going on. With the Star s sometimes that seems inevitable in captivity no matter how precise the care is but the sulcata not so much
That Caiman Lizard was awesome looking. I would of had to spend a lot of time to calm him down. Cause they are very good pets when tame. And the lung fish, flyriver turtle and eels are my favorite animals in there besides the big skink and Caiman lizard.
Feel like he should be giving some of those animals better housing or living situations that tarantula is just in a box all day with nothing for it to interact with or even burrow in that fish he showed off at first was just swimming no plants no rocks no nothing ?
Tarantulas don’t really need much. They’ll keep themselves active maintaining a burrow. It’s not like they’re birds or mammals, which benefit from enrichment, as long as basic needs are met the rest are aesthetic choices.
Ive never seen a caiman Lizard until now, I didnt even know they existed. That thing is beautiful! I hope he adds a red tail catfish to that pit it'd look awesome in there❤❤❤🙏
You should put sand of something down there eel skin is very sensitive it it will hurt them rubbing up against the concrete and they need more hiding places
My rose hair passed away at about 13 she was awesome super gentle. I don't believe you're a spider reard it looked like it was trying to catch its balance
@@aquabeastsrj just never seen something like that before. Some people collect rainwater for washing cloths, watering plants and utility things. Not for drinking. Plus it's not a tank it's all concrete. Is there a way for the water to drain out? At first I thought it was a mechanics pit for working on cars. It's pretty big. Make a good hiding spot if cops were looking for you. Lol
Very cool, while giving me anxiety at the same time. I'd have a phone line wired down there, including an old laptop with internet too; should something happens.
@@aquabeastsrj You might get hurt; like break your leg or ankle or hit your head down there from a slip & fall, or something. Or someone traps you down there; yeah pretty silly. What about getting electrocuted? That place is cool as heck though. Wish I had something like that to turn it into a survival bunker.
Not sure if you keep light on for a night day cycle. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a uvb for vit d absorption because they get it from food. But they do need it for their health. Keeping fish in the dark will lower their immune system, making them prone to diseases and generally weakening them. With insufficient light, fish like goldfish can loose their colors. Keep on 8 hours a day at least.
This all has the potential to be so amazing, but I'm not going to lie I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of some of his tanks, especially considering that he's clearly interested in what he's doing and has invested a lot of resources into it. Im sure he has the best intentions, but dirty, empty tanks that only have one fish in it and still manage to be too small ain't it chief
I was going to say the same thing! His tanks offer zero enrichment for the animals. It’s no better than how they’re treated in most fish stores. He’s just collecting animals at this point. Really disappointing to see them kept this way. Every one of my animals enclosures mimics their natural environment as close as I can get in captivity. But I actually care about my animals not the views or getting on the news.
I thought the same thing it’s a fine line but he’s basically hoarding from my point of view if he actually cared for all the animals like he makes it seem he would def take the time to add some more stuff or re make some of those enclosures and tanks
Well, this *would* be a valid critique, if you had actually paid attention to his purpose for having tanks in the first place, which is to *temporarily* house fish till he can add them to the eel pit, or until he can sell them. They are not long term residential tanks, so while your surface level analysis would have been understandable from a place of concern for the animals, it is rather unnecessary because none of the fish live there permanently. as he states clearly in his RUclips and TikTok videos.
@@aquabeastsrj that would bring out the pit out or maybe Salamander or frogs like that would make it more badass like Creature would fit with this that won't clash
Honestly this is so cool I had of them in a 120 gallon tank before I had them for a while but unfortunately they got infections or something like that in their lungs and they ended up dying on me I've never tried ever again but it was really cool to see this video I haven't seen these guys for a long time maybe I'll get back into it if I can find some
iwas the 69th like. cool video ! iam currently working on my own home in the sticks where ill build aquaponics and maybe an underground fish sanctuary aswell!

It's one of the coolest houses I've ever seen but I would hate to pay his water bill
its rainwater
True that
And if u own the house or depending on the lease it's all bills paid all u gotta do is pay monthly rent
It’s that electric bill that’s the killer!
Speaking of water bills I have a coworker that believes he gets charged for any water he drains in his sink so anytime he changes the water in his tanks he pours them all outside to keep the water bill down. Lol
I used to have a few eels. Very intelligent and friendly. They would swim through fingers and eat from hand(loved chopped raw shrimp!) Often overlooked and underrated, eels are still awesome 🤘
Thats awesome! I have two different types of moray eels on my channel
In been following this guy since day 1 it’s crazy how far that pit came
Ya he’s done great with it! Hope you liked the video you might enjoy my fish cave stuff if you like the eel pit
thank you sir for spreading the word of how awesome eels are they are one of the most underappreciated animals and its sad their numbers are dwindling in the wild
Glad to help I didn’t realize that their numbers are dwindling
@@aquabeastsrj sadly its like impossible to captive breed them
Just came across eel pit guy on tiktok then found this vid! I don’t really have an interest in fish or anything but this was such a fun vid! Loved seeing you excited about all the creatures in his house!
Thanks so much I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it despite a huge fish interest! Hopefully u can enjoy some other videos
Same bro I was here for the eel pond but turned out watching the entire video 😂
Appreciate it hopefully you’ll enjoy my other vids too thanks
So unique. Really cool. Thanks for sharing. I met a guy one time that said to me and my crew...." You gotta see this out back". We followed him around the house and he had 100+ finches and parakeets inside his screened in porch. It was beautiful !!
Glad to share it, people should see it! And wow that’s wild!
I'm extremely jealous of this eel pit man
Me too! You might enjoy my fishcave on my channel!
@@aquabeastsrj I'll check it out
“Yo this is awesome”
-“yeah”
😂 the whole vid
😂
Pretty sweet! I would install a bunch of lights in that pit and plant a crapload of plants. Make it and underground tropical paradise. It would also cut down on the echo.
That would be sweet I think he’s thinking about it!
The concept of an eel out is so funny but this is actually genuinely so cool

Like they must spend a lot of time and money with charcoal - but I’m not familiar with the way fresh water is is dealt with in the south. Seems like they have everything under control and all of the animals seem very healthy and happy. Cant ask for more than that.
He’s got good filtration and there’s often new rainwater coming in, which does water changes frequently!
That was awesome. The eel pit is so rad. I have one zig zag eel. I love that eel.
Zig zags are awesome I have some crazy fish in my fish cave that you might want to check out in some other videos on my channel!!
I wonder if he could grow aquatic plants with a nice light in there
I have wondered the same thing and it would be awesome. I think it’s defiantly possible with the right light
He needs to take the fish to a vet . Apparently they’re all sick
Oh really I didn’t know that. That’s a shame
I get what what your saying. Lol “That is sick” , “This is sick”
😂 I guess I said that a couple times
Where did you hear that from
@@aquabeastsrj it's hilarious but it's also endearing, just adds to the sauce, keep going ❤️ stay sick
I grew up in a small town in QLD Australia, one of the few places to have a healthy population of Lung fish. Super protected, but every now and then they'll swim around you. Definitely a great experience, like swimming with dinosaurs 🙂🦕
That is the coolest!
Man I love this I want to have stuff like him when I’m older I love these animals!!!
Ya it is awesome! You might enjoy my fish cave I have a full tour of it a couple vids back!
@@aquabeastsrj ooooo bet man I love your content
They’re both so cute and handsome! 😍
The tortoises seems to mostly have some pyramiding going on. With the Star s sometimes that seems inevitable in captivity no matter how precise the care is but the sulcata not so much
All houses should come with eel pits.
I agree!
What was that space used for originally? Fall out shelter? Cold storage? Very interesting for sure
It holds rainwater
@@aquabeastsrj oh ferfect habitat for eels
Was a cistern to hold water
This house is probably one of the best houses ever
It’s dope
Please add more things inside the pit like plants rocks & drift woods !!
Where u guys at westcoast???those eals everywhere in Baltimore
Ohio area
I'm from Australia and I have only ever seen one lung fish in the wild while kayak fishing. Would be amazing if you could breed them in captivity.
Yes that would be amazing. That’s so cool you saw one in the wild!
homie, you got that straight up Mac Miller energy. honestly refreshing to see. sick video boys. sick.
Thanks a lot check out my channels other vids if u enjoyed
That Caiman Lizard was awesome looking. I would of had to spend a lot of time to calm him down. Cause they are very good pets when tame. And the lung fish, flyriver turtle and eels are my favorite animals in there besides the big skink and Caiman lizard.
Yes all so cool but fly rivers are one of my favorites. The caiman lizard was probably my 2nd favorite
Fascinating what a great passion you have for those creatures! Great video Thankyou!
Thanks! Checkout what I have at my house in my full tour!
i love my local fish store guy. he’s such a W
For sure
I was hoping to see some escalators but all I got was eels
Feel like he should be giving some of those animals better housing or living situations that tarantula is just in a box all day with nothing for it to interact with or even burrow in that fish he showed off at first was just swimming no plants no rocks no nothing ?

@@nathanbennett9563yeah, I agree
Tarantula don't give a phook.
It made me feel some sorta way too but thats the truth
and he just keeps his folding chair down there lol, i fkn love it, thats where id be.
Gotta have the chair!
@@aquabeastsrj that pit is the coolest fkn thing ever, id be down there forever lol
@JJ_Jahronus it’s awesome, checkout my fish cave tour. I think you will like it!
Hey whats the name of the first fish that you showed? The one that you said was very old
Australian Lungfish
@@aquabeastsrj thx man, Australia really got some of the coolest ones 😅
It really does
The 3D printed Glavenus. Was the first thing I saw. The second one was first lungfish.
Did he build that basement set up I would love an in depth video
No it is a water cistern. It has been there since the house was built
Where does this guy live where he has a rainwater cistern under his garage?
Ohio area
Soo cool!! Wish I had a neighbor like that
Ya it is amazing! You might enjoy my fish cave tour it’s a couple vids back
Dude was on the other side of the door listening to you do your intro waiting for you to knock 😂
😂 ya Fr tho
"That is so sick". Is that your catchphrase?😂.
Btw nice video.
I guess it is😂 and thanks a lot hopefully you enjoy my other videos too
Where did you find your tortoise enclosure?
He built it I think
Awesome collection but the tarantula needs more substrate and a hide.
Bro rockin the grandpa joe special orthopedic sandals 🤣😂😂 why? Just why?🤣😂😂
I really liked how he had so many fish and animals and he new all about him
He does for sure! You might enjoy my Fish Cave. I have a full tour a couple videos back!
Aqua besat.. come to malaysia - SABAH you can find some more
More what?
Bro besides it being a cool underground eel pit it would be perfect hotbox 😂
Awesome collection of pets you have, but when you showed the Tarantula I was like oh hell nah. Hahaha
That’s exactly how was. I’m not a spider guy checkout my full tour of my fish cave it’s a similar type of video. It’s a few back from the most recent
what species of tarantula did he own that he states makes a great pet?
I believe it was a rose hair
Grammastola Rosea. Many of the Grammastolas are very mild natured once they reach maturity.
Ive never seen a caiman Lizard until now, I didnt even know they existed. That thing is beautiful! I hope he adds a red tail catfish to that pit it'd look awesome in there❤❤❤🙏
Yes caiman lizards are incredible! And unfortunately he can’t because the water temps get way too cold for tropical species
Sweet vid loved the eel pit!
Thanks brotha!
You should put sand of something down there eel skin is very sensitive it it will hurt them rubbing up against the concrete and they need more hiding places
My rose hair passed away at about 13 she was awesome super gentle. I don't believe you're a spider reard it looked like it was trying to catch its balance
Can anyone tell me how this is built so it doesn't leak out the water?
That’s a good question
What was the pit originally made for? Or did he make it to be an eel pit? Never seen a pit like that in a garage before.
It was made to collect rain water
@@aquabeastsrj to reuse it or is that just a thing were you live? Does rainwater still go in? Thought maybe it was a tornado bunker.
@@caseykillion I believe it was made like this back then to be used as a drain or maybe even to have water not sure
@@aquabeastsrj just never seen something like that before. Some people collect rainwater for washing cloths, watering plants and utility things. Not for drinking. Plus it's not a tank it's all concrete. Is there a way for the water to drain out? At first I thought it was a mechanics pit for working on cars. It's pretty big. Make a good hiding spot if cops were looking for you. Lol
If I was water bill guy I would probably lower his water bill his house is cool
😂 ya me too
What is a water bill guy?
What do you call that room ? And can I get one built ?
His room is called a rain cistern
How does he ventillate?
He has a large aerator bringing new air in
I fucking love cowturtle hes a king
Ya he’s great!
I been following this guy since day 3 on tiktok
Cow turtle? Or me?
Ayy this man has great taste definitely start building that pheasant aviary would be cool to have some lophuras or chrysolophus's or tragopans
I think I need an eel pit
I think everyone does😂
just 2 bros being bros frfr
Frfr
Omg the fly river turtle is my dream pet
One of mine too!
@@aquabeastsrj their just so cute and adorable and the way they swim
Yes their amazing!
Very cool, while giving me anxiety at the same time. I'd have a phone line wired down there, including an old laptop with internet too; should something happens.
What would happen?
@@aquabeastsrj You might get hurt; like break your leg or ankle or hit your head down there from a slip & fall, or something. Or someone traps you down there; yeah pretty silly.

wish the tanks were scaped a bit better, but amazing collection

Very cool and unique!
For sure! You might enjoy my full tour video of my Fish cave it's a couple videos back from my most recent!
Will the pit not cause subsidence?
I have interest when I first saw your channel I’m in love with it keep up the good work bud and never let the hate comments let you down❤😊
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!!
Your welcome❤️😊
Nice vid, very cool tour
Much appreciated hope u enjoy the other videos too!
This guy is in it for the money
Nah he’s been doing it forever and he loves it
I love the reaction to the tarantula 😂
😂 ya not a spider guy

Having crystal clear tanks is for humans viewing pleasure. Good bacteria growth is a good thing

I wish you could add little turtle in the eel pit but there not going to be sunlight energy in pit
Unless a uvb and heat lamp were added

It is awesome!

What that's fish at 5.25
Endilichir bichir
It's so calming
Yes it is. It’s sweet
That pit is awesome
Yes it is
I get the feeling this guy is an absolute animal hoarder
It's a nuke shelter basically and water in the room acts as a damper
A loud whisper would have been perfect in the cave
Ya sry the echo is bad
You have been there before. You don’t just walk in someone’s home without being invited in first 😏. Great video 👍🏾
Obviously he new I was there and thanks!

That’s awesome!
Idea for a bunker!!
"This is so sick.""Oh my gosh." How often you can throw in "like" in one sentences?🤢
Butterfly fish and archer fish would be a awesome addition
Ya both of those are sweet!
Y’all know him as eel pit guy I know him as nick from my local fish store 😂🙌🏼 awesome dude
Ya I met him years back when he worked at a different site!
Kind of crazy I had to go to someone else's channel to get an explanation of WTF this eel pit is I keep seeing in my feed.
Hope this video helped the explanation. You might enjoy my fish cave I have a tour a few vids back if u wanna check it out!
How is that good for the foundation of the house
It was built there to collect rainwater
