      @@nomdeplume2213 people who work on fish rescues like these need those extra hands and they never have the proper funds to save and grow there dreams out to the world. I would volunteer daily to the average joe who just wants to help. Men and women like him are really valuable and are ALLAYS overlooked, i mean common stop these false TV shows and start making these rescue chanles to give out to the world so people locally can support there residents. I gets me how these large corporate companies are man handling these joe's of the world. T_T
      (I also hate these life drama shows like the kardashiens, if the stop that and made a chanle dedicated to pet wield life rescues then set up a Monthly, those funds plus donations can help "JOE" here and everyone elts whos doing this out of their hearts!)

      Fish therapy? Sounds good. I can definitely relate to the concept. It is a very "zen" activity. Definitely one of the best ways to learn about a Microcosm of Nature too. Maybe I should start keeping an aquarium again; even if it's only a pet Oscar in 20 gallons. Does anyone have a good guess regarding how large a tank would be solidly adequate to keep a female Peacock Bass vs keeping a male? That might be an option too. They are both super successful South Florida immigrants in the Everglades, which is 5 miles right down The Trail.

If i lived near id volunteer daily, i can't imagine the cost of food, chemicals, ELECTRICITY it takes to keep it going. Please make a gofundme!! Id donate, the moment he said that if a fish is named and donated the family can come back and spend time i felt tears haha what an amazing man!!! I am in awe, what an amazing couple. He and his wife seem like amazing people id love to know! My daughters would LOOOVE to see this in real life which is why i mentioned doing tours. Elementary school kids would be in heaven! My 5 yr old is mesmerized by the video alone haha Maybe charging for tours could help with the financial requirements.

      Daniel Weinstein greedy??? Really? Jesus, you are so ignorant it hurts. This is not a hobby, he’s doing this because he CARES. It costs thousands and thousands to keep this place running! Having people pay for tours wouldn’t even cover the cost. And HE is not greedy either. If he did make more money than he spends somehow, he would just make expansions to take in even more fish. Do you know how much labor that all takes? It’s a full time job and he’s paying out of pocket to do it! Let’s hope you are just ignorant, and not just a selfish prick like you sound.

    Rich, thank you for all you do! Our loved pet, Mowgli, is a red belly Pacu. I bought him in April 2004, and I estimate he was just over a year old. He was kept in a 29 gal standard, then I moved him up to a 75 gal, and eventually to his 210 standard home. He is 22" long and is quite content still. Until I saw this video, I began to think that Mowgli was the only fish to want to be petted! He knows all of in the family and follows us when we are in the family room. He loves to be face to face to me for up to 5 or ten minutes at a time, without moving away, as I talk to him (he probably feels the vibration of my voice, I guess), and he looks straight at me; so cool. For many years now, he lives on frozen Italian cut green beans, and an occasional earth worm from the garden, as a treat. When my arms are submersed in the tank for cleaning, he will not stay away until I pet him over and over. I do have a very healthy respect for his teeth and jaws though, at all times. I know the damage he could do to fingers, as I have fed him dry chunk dog food, or Brazilian nuts which he crunches with ease. I know his average lifespan is 25 years and we hope he thrives through then. if our life should change, I will be sure to count on you!

Had to talk a friend of mine out of putting arowanas in a four foot tank once - he had no idea what he was getting into and the shop was pushing the sale like it was a TV. I'd never even think of keeping big fish like that - it's a full time job. Rich is a true fishkeeper.

    Iam a fish lover since childhood, catching fish from ponds mostly catfish,barbs, pencil fish etc. Mostly they use to die because of the water condition. Now that i have learnt the tricks of the trade,i have few tanks, which has sharks, dollars,tin foil etc. I was touched by watching the video the word RESCUE is a very rare thing in fish hobby, normally what i have found here is that they dump the big grown fishes into lakes or wells 🙂 it's great work that you are doing to fishes, feeding them and caring takes lot of time and energy and money of course,i would say a great work towards humanity 👍. I am ERIC JOHN from India, Bombay., hope some day,i would also love to open a fish rescue home, when i have enough place and finances to take care of them. Hats off to you brother. Take care. God bless.🙏

    It's a wonderful thing you are doing to save these fish. The spotlight is usually on dog and cat rescue. Until coming across one of your videos, it didn't dawn on me about the need for fish rescue.

    The comets may be $0.50 when they're babies, but by the time they're that size they're hundred-dollar fish! Amazing set-ups and you're doing great work! I came across this trying to find information to advise someone on how to house their Red-tail Catfish which they're committed to keeping and taking the best care of--seeing all these amazing monsters is sure to inspire!

    Great work...OMG...I cannot tell you how much respect I have for you. Rescue is one hell of a thing to do. It is tough and expensive but oh it fills the heart with such joy. I know. Rich you need to start a you tube page. Do live streams and tell us the unique stories of all these precious fish. People will watch and donate and possibly sponsor certain fish. We are already in love with the fish and you for doing what you do. Did you look into becoming a 501c3 so you can get tax breaks on donations and get grants? Please look into it.
