"If you've named a fish, then we keep it forever, you can come back to visit your fish."
That's one of the most generous things I have ever heard. What a wonderful guy, truly.
You are the bomb my friend, keep up the excellent work.

"if little Joey names the fish Spot or, ahh.., Butfuck, whatever..." Lol 2:50
Yes! What an awesome man, i have endless love and respect for him, id love to know him in real life, if i lived anywhere near him id volunteer daily! I can only imagine how much food and time it takes to care for all of them. That sand fountain was gorgeous
@@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!)
The tanks and fish are very impressive, but that mullet is legendary.
Lazaro Quintino I’m surprised there weren’t more comments on his mullet, he’s literally got the definition of a mullet! 🤘😝
He seems to be a really nice, cool guy too!
Agreed...that mullet is epic!!!

LMAO!!!😢😢😢😅😅😅😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😭
Keeping fish as pets is helping me with my drinking and also my anger has vanished almost in 3 months. What a beautiful hobby and lifestyle.
That’s incredible, congratulations! I hope you’re doing well.
It has helped a lot with my anger too. Good luck brother, continued success be upon you
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.

I'm a friend of bill W, and you are so on point with that. I'm happy it's working for you.
Clicked to watch a big fish tank, ended up getting mesmerized by the size of the mullet. You rock Big Rich.
I read your comment and was looking for the fish called mullet and then he turned around and I saw the hair and burst out laughing!
Right that mullet is awesome!
😂😂😂😂
Only thing bigger than those tanks is that man's heart.
Can’t be.
His heart is contained in his thoracic cavity which itself is smaller than his smallest of tanks.
You mean his mullet
Mullet bro
Well said
Best comment
Nearly dropped my phone when he first turned around and I saw that mullet! What a god
Omfg i did too!!!
a thing of pure beauty

@@OhioFishRescue-com you know how to run a perfect fish rescue well chief
All I can say if everyone was like you the world would be a better place. That’s for Sure. Respect
That turn around mullet reveal though damn
caught me off guard
Most mullets died in the 80’s!! I was astonished to see one still going!!! 😳
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ZYGTropicals his did not 😆
@@tash8193 exactly!!! But now it’s covered in cobwebs!!!
best mullet I've ever seen WOW
The fact that you keep family pets and let the owners come visit them shows that the amount of water in your home is exceeded only by the amount of love. May you be blessed and happy in all that you do.
Should charge $5.00 for people to come in and see the fish. Might help on a little bit of the costs involved.
it would be nice if a solar panel company would find it in there rich hearts and donate one heck of a state of the art electrical system it would help keep all those fish safe and help big time with saving all that money for hydro bills now it can be spent on more food or what ever some local farmers and other businesses should also help if possible this guy and his efforts are worth it and start a GO FUND ME
Man even $5.00 per family would help or $5 for adults an $2 for kids
@@brianchapman9283 dude me too you have no idea
Make it a suggested donation and free for children. Then nobody is turned away because of ability to pay.
@@audreywall3904 his go fund me is www.gofundme.com/ohio-fish-rescue-addition
I love how the water is so clear you can tell he loves them 🥺
Definitely a very serious set-up. Really used to annoy me when I saw something like a red tail being sold to someone with an ornamental tank. 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.
Water should always be clear lol
Did you know you're the first video I ever watched on RUclips as far as what came across my suggested videos? I thank you for that that was a year ago and here I am!!🙏❤️
Bro praise this man .he takes care of fishes and he doesn’t even need to .much love to him .
Me: * mesmerized* "WOW look at the giant tanks"
Him: "Should we show them the big tank?"
Me: "Wait what... "
same
i was like whattttt
😂😂😂
Absolutely fascinating. We know about dog rescues, cat rescues, etc, I never heard of a fish rescue until now. Well done guys, great work Rich.
Dude has a heart of gold. This is what happens when your hobby spirals out of control into a lifestyle. Just imagine, he can't go on a vacation or leave that fish room sitting by itself for long.. btw that mullet is glorious!
This is the idea of traditional family living. One generation stays and cares for the land while the other goes traveling for a 2 week vacation somewhere. Multigenerational estates aren’t that common in the states anymore though.
Rich should honestly start charging for tours! Hes hand built an aquarium thats better than most "pro aquariums"..., absolutely amazing!!!!!! 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.
I agree! He could make quite a bit for the rescue this way.
It’s also great to take the kids to see. I would’ve begged my parents back in the day to take me to see something like this at least once a week. Even if the charge was like $1 per person, it could add up quickly!
I had never heard the name Storie before and now I've seen it twice in the last few hours (the other was Stori) the odd thing is you both look alike.
You greedy people. He does this as a hobby not a way of income.
And he’s a great spokesman. But we all know, the majority of the questions would just be about his legendary long locks
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.
Our planet needs more people like you sir
Customer: So what kind of fish you have?
Big Rich: Yes
I was born in ‘69 and I have seen all the fads come and go but… Never and I repeat never ever have I seen a 1980s feathered mullet like that!! NEVER!! You go dude! 🤘🏼
There must be a tremendous amount of time and effort spent to keep that many big fish and big tanks. I hope he receives donations of money and labor to help cover the cost. The monthly feeding bill alone would break a lot of people.
ecleveland1 has come
Yeah shit like this makes me what they do or did for a living. Some people just make it look easy
ecleveland1 xnxjxy
A lot of people think a fish is just that a fish, a creature easily abandoned at the slightest inconvenience. I'm glad there are people like this man who have a heart and know that fish are wonderful creatures, creatures that over time show great personalities. Good for this man!
My fish have personalities and they've taught me they're a lot like birds. They are feeling animals with sensitive skin. The way they're treated is disgusting.
Sushifoo hi sushifoo
His heart is larger than any of his huge tanks. What a wonderful man. True charity!
that is why he is called big Rich
Damn this dude is awesome. Total respect to anyone living their dream when so many of us don't.
He cares for fish when SO many people behave as if they don't feel.
Im glad there's SOMEBODY out there to show some love and respect to these creatures
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this guy is living the fish lovers dream
I know right
Thanks so much for saving these beautiful creatures. I've had several of these "pet store" purchases, but had educated myself as to their eventual sizes, so I was prepared with sufficient space.
This gentleman is doing God's work
I worked at an aquarium for a long time and one of the worst parts was turning people away that wanted to donate their overgrown fish. Oscars were the biggest problem. Wish we had a guy like you around!
9:16 blew my mind, a waterfall out of sand, and it's in the water. Wow just mind blowing!
That Mullet deserves to be a part of Guinness records
Omg! You're awesome! Thanks for saving them. You're very knowledgeable. The tanks are huge and the fish look healthy and happy.
LOVE what this man is doing. So VERY caring. Thank you Steve, it was one of the best and most enjoyable walk throughs I've ever seen on YT. Let's get Big Rich Price as much support as possible.
Thanks Ben. I tried to capture the experience but it's even more impressive in person.
+Ohio Fish Rescue What an amazing thing you're doing. A fish hero! Best wishes to your fishes! And you and your family of course.

Really was one of the best walk throughs watched the video twice I enjoyed it so much keep up the good work
When he pulled back the curtain my mouth dropped. It is my goal to rescue fish like this someday, you are awesome!!!
Make your dreams come true! JUST Do it!
Big Rich you’re the greatest you really are bless you in all the fish and your wonderful wife for her support
This man deserves an award. Fish are beautiful and deserve to be saved not thrown away. There should be more places like this.
That has to be the sweetest mullet I've ever seen
That mullet. What a thing of beauty.
he goes big on everything
I thought it was just me...that's a big mullet lol
THAT MAN IS A HERO
I keep viewing the same video over and over again once in a week at least! Man your tanks are amazing!
you can tell that this man interacts with these fish on a whole other level, they all come up to him and just follow.....adorable!!
he feeds them
the world needs more people like this guy!!
Dan Wiles totally true
Mm that you can get more fish?
And more hair like this!!!!!!
You are man with a good heart. The fish are happy they saved 👍🐟
We had a Pacu we bought from PetSmart over 15 years ago and he was approximately 2 inches then. He was almost 2 foot long and 2 inches wide when we had to donate him to a rescue.
Shame on you jessy 🤣 jk
Man O man I have been waiting a long time to see a full tour on Big Rich fish room.. I live in Yo Ohio and have heard nothing but good about his rescue. Thanks a lot
Dan the Man Cichlids 07 foreals he need a another arrowana
This dude has LITERALLY the best mullet I've ever seen. Amazing what he does, I cant even make a joke about the mullet. 🤩
That is the biggest, most glorious mullet I’ve ever seen! Great job on all the hard work!
Big Rich has a BIG Heart. He probably spent hundreds of thousands to care for them. God bless him and I hope more will visit him and donate for his fish care and maintenance. Thank you Steve for giving us a tour. I have never seen a fish rescue as beautiful as is.
sadly it is not just the fish hobby that pet stores and breeders sell animals that get very big and do not tell the person buying the animal it's true needs or the size they will grow to, it happens a lot in the reptile trade as well. thank you for what you do for these animals.
Well my python have a room all for himself 👌
"Micro" pigs that grow to a 100-150 lbs or so, also.
That was amazing. Thanks for the tour. And also bless that man for saving so many fish .
Wow! I love your passion to the hobby.
While this is very admirable and impressive, I can't believe how many people buy these fish without doing research on whether or not they're actually going to be able to keep them.
Fault on the sellers as well..
@@TeHy11 I'd have to disagree. It should always be on the buyer to do research on what they're buying. This isn't exclusive to fish, but applies to everything you buy. You can't get upset at a car salesman, computer salesman, or any other salesman for not doing your research on what you're buying.
The fault lies with both parties on the sellers side its greed its all about money and of course if you sell something that has the potential to get huge some dumb yahoo is going to buy it, they dont care about the animal at all. On the buyers side its not doing your research and being really naive in thinking oh ya i got this and if i dont well ill just get rid of it. Like Rich said the stores shouldnt sell em or at least you should prove that you are fully capable of taking care of this animal that will get huge.
@@ainokea8916 Same handling as with more popular household animals such as dogs!
@@TheFishingNomad
The people selling are obviously at fault as well as the buyers. I worked in a pet store when I was younger and it would've been really irresponsible for me to not make sure people understood what they were getting into. And I very often discouraged people from buying species that I could tell they'd never properly care for. In fact I often discouraged people from buying anything at all. If I hear you talking about putting a fish in a little "fish bowl" on your desk then I won't sell you any fish at all unless you first buy a proper tank from me and get it set ip before you take the fish home
All these people talking about a mullet, I’m here thinking it’s a fish and trying to find out where it is 😂😂
I was confused to because it is a type of fish
...it is the style of his hear lol
...or hair even - doh
Steve Ball 🤣🤣🤣
Business in the front, party in the back. That mullet is fantastic.
Business in the front party in the back
You know I love those ten-nineties !!!
Kentucky Waterfall !!!
I just want half, just half of the sheer style and swag and overall flow this guy has.... Legendary mullet, amazing artisan/human, velvet voiced spokesman, eloquently gave us a master class.... geez leave some for the rest of us guy!
agree except for the moobs...hard pass on them
@@an0therdimensi0n99 HAHAHAHA
What a wonderful man.
This dude is truly all business in the front and party in the back. Love it.
Most epic mullet I've seen since 1991
Very nice to see fish being treated as the great and feeling animals they are. They are not toys! Big respect to this man
Your a good man. Your purpose in life is great.
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen on RUclips
Great job lots of respect for that guy
Respect, a mullet hair style worthy of a man that rescues fish.. respect.
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.
Awesome. Most pet owners or people thinks about the for legged pets and forget that fish also are living creatures that some fish owners not out cruelty let their beloved fish suffer and eventually dies but they just out grew their tanks and cannot afford nor have the space to upgrade their tanks nor a place that will take their beloved fish. Keep up the good work and we need more people like you and a place and organization like yours.
I agree with this Man pet shops shouldn't sell fish that get so big without proof they would have a good home or something..
🔱 Respect for "Tryin" Sir 🔱
I started being a fish parent about a year about and honestly I loved bettas for a long time so I did my research on them and it's terrible what they go through. Watching this I'm inspired to run my own fish sanctuary. Of course it'll be some years from now since I'm still learning how to take care of fish, but there's need to be more people that care about fish care. There are dog rescues, cat rescues, bird rescues, reptile rescues, rodent rescues within 25 miles in the suburbs where I live, but no fish rescues. To be honest I struggled with what I wanted to do with my life and fish keeping has helped easy my mind. Starting a fish rescue feels right to me and I'm grateful the youtube algorithm took me to this video. Thank you so much for having such a big heart and showing the world your rescue ^-^
This guy is such a sweetheart. You know he’s got a big heart especially at how he talks about his wife at 9:40. So glad there’s some out out there who genuinely cares for pet fishes!
This is insaneeeeee. This guy deserves so much donations from us fish keepers
My favorite part is when he said "come into my fish room" and turns around to show those luscious locks :D
Love what he is doing for the fish. They need love too 👍
The only thing bigger than Rich's mullet is his heart! 😊
When this video started i could see big rich was all business. Giving these fish a second chance. When he turned around. The party was serious. Joking aside this is a great service he is providing
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!
God bless this guy for saving them!
Absolutely Amazing!😱
Fish 8/8 hair 11/10
How can anyone dislike this man for rescuing fish. I love these types of videos. 😍
Fantastic 👏 well done for caring ❤
Breathtaking...
What a good guy, great fish room there Rich !
Saves fish and has that mullet?
*Respect*
You're a badass. Kudos to you. We need more men and women that are willing to take on a thorough challenge to save the innocent. Once again, great job
Thanks for showing your aquariums they r awesome and thanks for taking all these fish in and giving them a good life
Now he is the real life AQUAMAN!!!!! FOR REAL!
Not many are capable of something so huge!
God Bless you, sir, for the great work you are doing for these wonderful animals. An amazing fish room! Keep up the great work!
Until I saw this I thought I was the best dad in the world!
This is an amazing effort for both you and your son.
All the fish come up and say hello! Well done.
The bad thing is this has been the same in the industry for years, I started out back in 2005....and the usual suspects still show up in the bottom of dealers tanks. (I’m in the uk)
Lovely fish.
"You can come visit your fish anytime" 😭 So sweet!
What a legend. Glad to see someone doing what he loves and helping some beautiful animals in the process!
That mullet is almost as glorious as the fishroom! Mad respect for this guy.
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.🙏
Wow! Fantastic!
WHAT...massive...super clean...super well kept
slotcarj I feel sorry for your English teacher. Whomever that may be, clearly failed miserably.
What an absolutely kind and beautiful soul. I love Big Rich!
Thank GOD for people like this🥰
You could open an aquarium to show them and sell tickets and the fish will pay their own upkeep until they get a forever home.
This is INSANE!!!! I cnt even comprehend the work and time thats required for this to work.BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Look at Rich!!!! Best mullet in Ohio!!
Whoooa!! I was NOTTT READY for THAT MULLET!!! I had to tap it back to rewind!!!!😱😱
That guy is so cool. Glad there are people in the world that can do this.
