I've said it before that I think they could do well with a continuous high-def channel of underwater in the monster pond. You see lots of nature and aquarium channels out there but few, if any, are as interesting as the monster pond, especially with the cichlids.
Them paroon Sharks swimming around like that looks so cool and Brutus is one beast of a fish he seems so chill just swimming around also them chichlids that got in there by accident are a great addition to the pool pond great video Josh 👍👊🐟💯
Those paroon Sharks are getting so confident, I remember when they were first put in they would stick to the bottom end corner now the large one is circling the whole pond….. if he becomes tank boss there will be trouble !!
i swear every time i look at the 58000 this reminds me of my dream pond i swear everyone wants a pool pond quite litterly POOL pond so yeah great pond love it keep it up
i like the green algae on the tiles....looks natural. it also provides more surface area of nitrifying bacteria and is a potential food source for foraging goldfish.
Good Morning! 💙💚 Always a treat seeing every-fin ♡ The algae in the goldfish tank looks absolutely epic!! It really is a work of art nature style......so glad the blanket helped! It has definitely helped a ton! Those high finned banded sharks are some of the cutest little, but eventually MASSIVE guys and gals ever!! Quickly becoming a favorite tank of mine. Thanks so much for the walk through, a few names always escape me. It helps so much! Happy Tuesday OFR family!! Hope you all have a little quieter and gentler week!! Love and hugs are always on the way!! 💌🦈💌
@@vic6427 Aww, Thank You so much! It is so wonderful to see all the compassion flowing in this group, within the OFR family 💙 Thank you again for your kind words!!
Your monster pond reminds me of when i was very little, i used to imagine that our local swimming pool had a shark living in the dark depths of the deep end & i was terrified to go too close in case it got me!🤣🤣🤣 the imagination of kids🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the in depth look at the stocking, there's fish in there that i completely forgot you had. Showed my hubby & he said oh that's cool, then i told him Brutus is 6ft, he didn't believe me coz all the fish look a lot smaller on video so i had to rewind the video so he could hear you talk about how big the fish were! Those Paroon sharks look incredible when they're swimming in the shallows, truly like a shark hunting on a beach. Fingers crossed the glass on the Bass tank holds up till you can find a solution & it doesn't end up with another disaster. Real shame coz that tank & it's stock look amazing.
Thanks for the monster pond update. Nice seeing all the monsters. I don't do the Friday night thing. To long for this old man. Is Matt still in the hobby? Have not seen a video of his in forever. Stay fishy and stay safe.
the platinum alligator gars are incredible! love the marbled albino too. what a beautie. so none of the large fish eat the cichlids? they are so small I would think they'd be prime prey but I know nothing about this. I always get ghourami's when I have tanks. love them and I am so amazed at their size in your tank. I am so dumb in a way not realizing aquarium fish do grow up LOL
Will you fix the cabinet skirt that is falling down in one corner on the goldfish tank next to the pool, just need to restaple it, it always sticks out as an eye sore on videos to me! ⁉️👍😎
If you ever want to get some those Cichlids out of the monster pond you can always get a cast net. Throw in some food, get them together in a corner and cast net them
How come the smaller Malawi cichlids don't get eaten? Are they too well fed or are they too fast? What would happen if you didn't feed for a couple of weeks?
How old is "Big Bail"? and how big is she? I have a 3 year old Redtailed catfish, it's barely 2 feet in size. It made me think of my RTC's growth, when you said that that Arapaima - Brutus - is at the 6ft mark at 4 years old. Or I guess arapaimas just have a faster growth rate?
Love the video Josh! You didn't say anything about the frontosa tank. Did they have babies? It looks like there are some smaller ones in there as you walked by. Thanks!
Love seeing the tanks as a fish keeper it's great to see what can be done. Do you ever see the larger fish in the monster pond predating on the African cichlids?
Holy shit, this is what 11 year old me always wanted. A big cool fish pond (or aquarium) with big predators in it. Me and my friends were very obsessed with big carnivore fish. We would visit a local fish store. They were known for their carnivore fish, and yes that's why we loved big scary fish. But nowadays, while I still love them and even still want to have something like that in my house, I've learned that it is not easy to take care of them, especially with the whole predator thing which makes me nervous around them. But still, if there is a way to have a big pond/aquarium with predators in it without having to worry about losing my fingers then I would love to
Brutus was 2 ft? He always was huge and the BOOM guy..would be nice to have a flashback glimpse.. but he sure is a monster at 6ft.. He dwarfs me.. He looks very graceful
Looks like when they were putting the glass together maybe they didn't get that end sealed the best and the seal as given a little and let air, or possible choking into the sem of the glass but who knows if anything can always be rebuilt one good thing about glass it cuts and reusable.
Didn't you put that albino channel cat in here too the pond but wasn't mistaken you forgot your arowanas too those are some of the biggest arowanas I've ever seen I just find the collection of fish that you guys have is just phenomenal a zoo would be lucky to have as many different fish as you guys have I look back at some of the old videos from 4 years ago and you just got one big tank the pool pond and a few other small tanks I look at that and then I see what you guys are now it's like wow you guys come so far not kind of like doing that going back and seeing how far you guys have advanced and it's just amazing I love your channel keep it up God bless you and God bless your mom your dad God bless your whole family because you guys deserve it you really do you do a lot for the community
Do you think the cichlid population in the pool will ever get out of control? Or would the predators keep them in check? Also what’s the best way to become a channel member? I don’t see an option
How can we come and get fish I have a 220 and 75 gold fish tanks Would love to get some koi for my father in law for his 20 by 20 koi pond please and thanks for the response
Just an idea but maybe a zip wire over the monster pond and attach a go pro to get a over view of it? I hope your ok josh you sounded peed off to the core none of our business just look after yourself!!
When i was a teenager i always wanted a swimming pool full of fish with a natural scape. You guys have my dream pond🙂
same here
Third that ;)
Literally
Ross don’t know where you live but you should treat yourself and fulfill your dream with a trip and swim with the fish!
@@1craftygal156 unfortunately the other side of the 🌏 so would be a big trip, I’ll just have to settle for viewing from a distance
this pond really is the highlight at the rescue
Im not sure. The fish room is its own masterpiece on its own.
@@JC-ps2zy I like how these huge fish have tons of space in the pond, they really are living the life
No!!! Big Riches mullet is.the highlight of ofr
@@MandaPanda12345 🤣😂😎
It is awesome to just watch these videos. Don't have the room for monster fish, but still love to see people who do. Thanks for sharing. ✌️🤘
Brutus coming on 4 years, that's when I started watching the channel. Can't believe how far you guys have come. I miss Matt too, hope he's doing well.
the pond is amazing man, you guys are really the GOATS in fishkeeping. keep up the great work!
Thanks Josh for the very informative video. I could sit on that chair in the corner and stare at that pool all day. ❤ Stay fishy my friends ❤️🐟🐠🐡🐢

Beautiful pond and fish
Epic Josh! Thanks for the update.
I am so JEALOUS of that MASSIVE pool pond. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!
Well done, thanks for the update
Good Morning From Texas Stay Fishy 🇨🇱
Thanks for the update
Those paroon Sharks are getting so confident, I remember when they were first put in they would stick to the bottom end corner now the large one is circling the whole pond….. if he becomes tank boss there will be trouble !!
Truly love to see this pond every time! Such a amazing place to keep these awesome fish!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Josh.
I didn't know that about the big sharks in the pool.
The biggest mouth. That would be scary for the rest .
Play safe have fun.
i swear every time i look at the 58000 this reminds me of my dream pond i swear everyone wants a pool pond quite litterly POOL pond so yeah great pond love it keep it up
so peaceful I could sit and watch for hours. You're incredibly lucky. Beautiful animals
Good job Josh, we haven’t had a full blown monster pond update in awhile.
Can’t wait to see who makes it into the pond next.
i like the green algae on the tiles....looks natural. it also provides more surface area of nitrifying bacteria and is a potential food source for foraging goldfish.
I love fish update videos this is awesome. All you need to do is add a giant stingray in the pool pond. ❤️👍😃 Have a blessed day 🙌😃
Such an amazing idea to turn a pool into a pond like this! Turned out so beautifully!
You guys should put the big pleco in the 58,000 pond and put all in the fish tanks you guys shouldn't have the problem
Good Morning! 💙💚

wow i wish i have a pond like this☺️😏👍👍👍
the cichlids seem to multiply every time you show the pond LOL!
Stunning! Wish I could have a large indoor pond like that someday

The sturgeon seems to have grown since you introduced it to the tank.
Really enjoyed this video! Thanks
Morning from the UK, stay fishy 🐟.
Love you guys love the fish 👍👍
Josh, tyvm for telling us about the fish lengths, also their ages too
Thanks for the monster pond update. Nice seeing all the monsters. I don't do the Friday night thing. To long for this old man. Is Matt still in the hobby? Have not seen a video of his in forever. Stay fishy and stay safe.
The algae on the goldfish tank tiles looks good actually

I always get ghourami's when I have tanks. love them and I am so amazed at their size in your tank. I am so dumb in a way not realizing aquarium fish do grow up LOL
After this video I think the shovel nose/ red tail hybrid is one of my new found favorites, that’s a real thicc boy.
Would be so easy to spend hours looking at that pool pond
Will you fix the cabinet skirt that is falling down in one corner on the goldfish tank next to the pool, just need to restaple it, it always sticks out as an eye sore on videos to me! ⁉️👍😎
Water looks great good job boys
The paroon sharks are they best fish in the pond, best looking is that marble gar
Great work OFR looks awesome!
Cool video Josh. Thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
Quality update Josh, cheers
Great video 👍🏻
That sturgeon is looking like they’re putting on size!
Fish look different in this vid.. maybe long time .. nice video
it's crazy that this is only the 3rd biggest pond that i know of on youtube
Place would be cool to see! Should do tours or something
he's such a big boy, dont ever get rid of him !
I liked this video,not boring interesting ✅️
Let's hope there will be no problems with the bass tank for the next 20 years.
The short body alligator gar looks like a shadow in the water its mind blowing
Wow. Just wow.
If you ever want to get some those Cichlids out of the monster pond you can always get a cast net. Throw in some food, get them together in a corner and cast net them
That white in the corner is, moisture in the laminate between the 2 pieces of glass.
Hey fishy family!
How come the smaller Malawi cichlids don't get eaten? Are they too well fed or are they too fast?
What would happen if you didn't feed for a couple of weeks?
Need more Mexican Musk Turtle. SFMF!
Beautiful fish love it
Are you okay josh? Your tone sounded really off@ Hope everythin is okay and/or gets better soon! Thank you for the amazing video
He's back to work now with having a newborn baby. He's tired

Wow Brutus is more impressive every time
Impressive.. Is that a swimming pool converted? What are the dimensions?
25 x 45 x 12 deep end 3.5 shallow end
I hope someday ofr makes.ton of money and expand with bigger facility and the goonch and jau get huge to 8ft
Put a couple of GoPros inside ..I wanna see more haha
Love all the big fish an room they have to swim, thoughts on a barramundi or Murray cod ? Might be hard to source over there
I'm surprised the smaller fish don't get eaten.
Lovely
How you guys feeding the big monster pool pond? I mean how you guys know the fish are eaten well?
Any concerns with the cichlids over breeding?
How did Saturday go? Was it a good day with selling/cleaning?
Sold 99 percent of everything , had to go find more to bring out
@@ohio-fish-rescue
Good job!
@@ohio-fish-rescue that's amazing! Made space & extra cash for the rescue. Win - win
@@heleninglis9961 yes ma'am:)
@@ohio-fish-rescue So great to hear! Been anxiously waiting for the video on the sale!
Awesome
Brutus was 2 ft? He always was huge and the BOOM guy..would be nice to have a flashback glimpse.. but he sure is a monster at 6ft.. He dwarfs me..
He looks very graceful
how do they make sure those arapaimas catfish and arowana dont eat those tiny chichlids?
Looks like when they were putting the glass together maybe they didn't get that end sealed the best and the seal as given a little and let air, or possible choking into the sem of the glass but who knows if anything can always be rebuilt one good thing about glass it cuts and reusable.
Also speaking of MMF i thought he was coming back after getting the donation for fish??? Hope he's ok, used to enjoy his vids.
Didn't you put that albino channel cat in here too the pond but wasn't mistaken you forgot your arowanas too those are some of the biggest arowanas I've ever seen I just find the collection of fish that you guys have is just phenomenal a zoo would be lucky to have as many different fish as you guys have I look back at some of the old videos from 4 years ago and you just got one big tank the pool pond and a few other small tanks I look at that and then I see what you guys are now it's like wow you guys come so far not kind of like doing that going back and seeing how far you guys have advanced and it's just amazing I love your channel keep it up God bless you and God bless your mom your dad God bless your whole family because you guys deserve it you really do you do a lot for the community
He did go over the arrowanas.
Do you think the cichlid population in the pool will ever get out of control? Or would the predators keep them in check?
Also what’s the best way to become a channel member? I don’t see an option
I always wonder this as well.
What happened to the third tilapia. We know you had one big one in there and you introduced those two smaller ones . Did the paroons eat one?
It's in the 3000 pacu tank . Someone went after him, had to move him
Wow!
Do any of the predator fish feed on the cichlids?
I'm surprised that the predators in the pool pond don't eat all of those cichlids.
How can we come and get fish I have a 220 and 75 gold fish tanks
Would love to get some koi for my father in law for his 20 by 20 koi pond please and thanks for the response
How do u feed all of those fishes?
New contest: who has the bigger arms between Josh and Matt from Predatory Fins….
Just an idea but maybe a zip wire over the monster pond and attach a go pro to get a over view of it? I hope your ok josh you sounded peed off to the core none of our business just look after yourself!!
Can you do a video of the filtration setup on that tank
I’m still astonished as to how that African cichlid colony is surviving
They must taste bad
@@OpinionatedChicken59 🤔 you think so?. Not only they are surviving they are flourishing. So many large predatory first I just don’t know how.
They must have used laminated glass, do some research on it. It's just delimitation imo
Wont come apart, it'll just go milky
Wondering what's the second biggest fish next to brutus? ;P
Rtc x tsn hybrid
Will you keep Brutus in you 58,000 gallons of mega pond until he or she dies? Even the era can get too small
How you holding fish of so many different size without being eaten
What happened to the big dovii (Wolf Cichlid)?
Are those cichlids? How come they dont eat the little ones?
the two platinum gars look like they haven't rendered in lol
