Moving into the pond is a solid option but don't know if it's ready for your bio load lol!
😂😂😂 This... Is amazing!
Well I'd have put it lengthways so they can swim longer before having to turn around. Good idea though to stop them fighting.
That Re-enactment prices. Don't know why when u balled the paper up, just killed me. 😂😂
Glad you found something that works out! Also, can you do a full update and feeding of all your animals (including the salamanders)? Hope you have a nice day!
I'm going to have my daughters do a full fish room tour soon!!
I like videos like these DIY's Zac! Simple and informative. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man!!!
That is an excellent way to keep them separated.
Cant wait to see the filter build!!
Thanks man!! I need to grab a couple more parts for another filter and then I'll make that video!
@@SCFishKeeping sounds good. I cant wait to see it =)
Very nice to see the pair back together...you know how i feel lol...nice idea for divider...had no doubts it would work...looking forward to more diy videos.... ohh and btw.....LOVE THE REENACTMENT OF THE FIGHT...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No need to apologize Zac, great job on the dividers. They look good.
Keep the videos coming brother
Appreciate you buddy!! Hope you're doing well!
SC Fish Keeping thanks, still recovering. Want to get back in the hobby so bad
Keep up the good work you put a smile on are faces burning these bad times
I appreciate that!! Thank you!!
For anyone looking to emulate this or Zac (hindsight 20/20, sure you've considered it already), you could use 5 way joints with small extensions to act as supports instead of the 3 way joints along the bottom. Wouldn't have to drill any holes either if you left them uncapped.
I actually bought some of those 5 way connectors the same day I post this video! Couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it! Gives it more structural support and therefore less worry! I'd still probably cap the legs though just to not have the hard edges sticking out of the sand. Wouldn't want to potential hurt the catfish!
I haven't been a subscriber for too long, but in that short time you inspired me to make my own mini native fish/turtle pond. I'd love to be featured in one of your videos. Big fan of your content.
Your a genius Zac
Glad the fish are good
😂😂 Appreciate you!!
Great DIY build.
It works, doesn't have to be pretty.
Glad that beautiful fish is healing nicely.
And clever idea by the way!
Thanks Natali!! I definitely wanted to go for functionality here and make sure I could keep the Achara safe!!
For real it looks good, better than the plastic ones in the stores that you have to pressure wash the algae off. I have some cool fish that are fun to watch eat. I'm currently in the process of moving them between tanks. My rescue Gulper catfish needs a bigger tank though. She is in a 10 for now but she is all healed up and finished with quarantine, so it's a matter of time before she is in her new home
You'll definitely have to send me some clips!! Especially of the Gulper!!
Nice thinking about separation looks very cool plus they might make friends lol.
Awesome that'll work great! Good to see the situation is rectified.i love the idea showing the viewers feeding , just wish I had some monsters to feed I have Acaras and rams and the feedings are pretty uneventful. However I think that's an awesome idea!!
I'm not wanting to limit the feedings to just monster fish!! Beautiful Acara and Rams would make some awesome clips for a video!
I like the DIY divider. It was well thought out, effective and great that you decided to upgrade it in the same video!
Thank you for the support man!!
Great build. I would use a net with slightly wider holes to allow minnows through.
Zach the hair is growing...x
😭😭 I know!! It's driving me nuts!
Hello just wanted to say lve just brought my first 400 litre tank and you really have been an inspiration... Keep up the good work. Thanks x
Just want you to know that you really are my favorite youtuber and you inspire me to reach my fish keeping potential. I'm picking up a 300 gallon stock tank for a indoor pond for my Oscar's and tinfoil barbs next week. Planning on moving my 16 inch silver arowana to my 150 gallon, as well as raising baby arowanas in a 50 gallon frag tank. I would love to be in a video man, thanks for being you
I really appreciate the kind words and the support!! I'm going to explain how to send clips here in a future video. Can't wait to see the setups!
Zack I don't have fish but I think it would be cool to see you and the Fish Whisper together swapping stories
Good solution Zac, would have been nice if everyone just got along but seems like they both have enough space. Love your channel, interested to see what you’re doing with your garage pool
I'm still hoping in time they'll figure it out! But for now they have plenty of space like you said and are content! So I can't complain!
I have a video coming on the pool in the garage soon 😁
The divider looks great 👍 The fish looks good too I can't get over how beautiful he is. Florida er out 😁
I need to try and film him when I'm not just hovering over him. His colors are get much lighter when he's not stressed! Appreciate your support Florida. 😜
@@SCFishKeeping
Underwater footage is always a bonus.
Beautiful big guys & it's great to see them taken care of..
( more 😎👍👍
From Florida )
(Not sure what kind of native fish we are allowed to legally own , but we have a great variety to choose from )
I love the grass pickeral ,
If they are legal here , I'm getting one , lol & a 200 gallon tank 😀🐟👍
And dreaming about how i want the pond in my back yard..
( guppies 😕) lol
Love the divider!! Great idea bud! 👍
😁 Thanks!
Great work as always bud keep it up man so glad you got that hybrid from fish freaks me and my wife were there before you got it and that lady took our picture and sent it to you love your content keep up the good work
😂 She sent me that picture with no context! I went "Who are these people?!" Then she explained it. I appreciate you watching the videos and for the support!! You'll have to let me know the next time you swing by fish freaks!
@@SCFishKeeping for sure bud
Love the video keep up with the good work and the devider looks grate
Thank you!!
Man, you had me thinkin this catfish had viciously killed the other cat. Like tore him into pieces and shit lol
That was really smart! love the DIY ideas! I really enjoy watching you, you are entertaining, funny, really smart with your fishkeeping and your choices for music are spot on! thank you for making such good content!
VERY INTERESTING ZAC, ALL I HAVE ARE 5 15" KOI AND I ADDED 14 NEW 1" KOI'S...A TRADE FOR 7 BEAST KOI. GETTING TO BIG FOR MY SMALL OUTSIDE POND. THE SMALL GUYS WILL GET BIG SOMEDAY....BUT (ENJOY WATCHING THEIR LIFE)
I have a couple wild caught bluegill, and the biggest one, my tank boss, was handfeeding less than 2 weeks after being caught on a hook. Hopefully I can get some clips of my little tiny LMB feeding he’s still a bit shy he seems to only hunt minnows when I turn the lights off at night
Man those are some killer catfish!
Pretty awesome right?!
That is a very nice jail :) I love the idea of viewers sharing their videos with you, not that I have anything interesting to share. But you still have a lot of fish you haven't updated us on in any detail in a verrrrry long time. (You KNOW I had to say that lol) You could just sit at home and film each of your tanks in detail and never have to visit the hardware store or anything. Don't you have a whole school of Oscars we haven't seen in a while? And the muskie and the bowfin and the gulper and the garage pool and how the heck is Millie and... You get the idea. I also seem to recall another tank you haven't shared at all.
😂😂 Classic Bonnie.... Keeping me honest!
@@SCFishKeeping Doin' ma best! :)
I would have put cross sections on the bottom pipes to allow pass throughs for the feeder fish ( if still going to keep them in there ) and to make support struts so you don't need the rocks to keep it vertical.
Smart!! I might actually make that change to get the legs on there! Makes way more sense than the rocks.... 😂
Lol moving into the pond would be the perfect way to reach the next level of dedication to the hobby 🤣 if you need more feeding clips I can try to get one of my lungfish! He's still a pretty picky eater so it's hard to time right but I'll see what I can do!
Maybe use a plexiglass sheet so that it's still see through and just drill a bunch of hole for minnos to pass through
🎵You gotta keep'em separated🎵
😂😂 Great... Now that's going to be stuck in my head all day!
@@SCFishKeeping LMAO 😂😜👻
Haha loved the video!!! Keep it up!
Thanks buddy!!
I love your videos, I have a question about filtering systems, do you think it is possible to to use a hole home filtration system as a pond filter? Thanks, Caitlin
I have a Redtail and Marble Acara catfish and looking to do the same setup. Where did you get the pool/pond from?
It would be awesome to be in one of your videos! I have a 60 gal with some neon tetras and a catfish, and I also recently rescued some tadpoles from a ditch by my house that fills up with rain sometimes.
Awesome!! I'm going to talk about how to send me clips in one of my next videos. Excited to see your set up!
Love your channel lad, the catfish look beautiful
Thank you!! I appreciate your support!
I have that cheap netting double layered loose over my pond and recently a small tree branch fell and it didn’t rip at all. It’s so cheap that I’f it rips its easily replaceable
No lie, you came on autoplay and for the 1st few sec of your vid i thought a was watching Ben Milliken with the "What is up everybody "
😂😂 maybe subliminally that's where I got it from!
thats an awesome idea bro i have a couple fish i could film
option 4 deep fried hi-bread catfish then you can keep adding more fish in future.
I'd love to be featured with my 17 COD in one of your videos.
Good job mate! :)
Thank you sir!!
@@SCFishKeeping any news on ant from unconventional aquatics Zac? Know you guys are mates so figured you may have heard from him, hope he's alright.
Noticed he has made any uploads in over a month :/
Great tank divider! What about making "T" feet on the bottom of the jail wall??
I would love to be in one of your videos! I have some videos of my largemouth eating some minnows and a few videos of my old long nose gar (in my profile picture) gulping down some minnows. Oh and a small Colombian catfish eating blood worms😂😂👌 love your content!!!
All of that sounds awesome buddy!! I'll explain what I'm thinking and how to send me some clips here shortly!
Man that’s awesome 😊
Nice divider there bud I I'd love to be in one of your videos! I've already got an idea for what to do to lol today sucked at work more paint booth stuff.... but I had chili dogs again for dindin my kids love them.... maybe I like them more
I'll explain how to send me some clips then here shortly!!
Ideas a brewin 😎
What kind of heating element do you use for your pool ponds?
Would the Achara be able to coexist in the same pond as the bass and muskie or would there not be enough space for all the fish?
The temperatures are too different to put the Achara with them right now! I keep the native fish around 68-70 degrees and the tropical fish closer to 80 degrees!
Yes! Would love to be featured :)
Awesome!! What sort of fish do you keep?!
SC Fish Keeping I have a baby tiger shovelnose, a Jardini, and a Frontosa :)
SC Jail Keeping! Zac, if you want a feeding video just tell me! You know ya boi LIFG got the dank boi footage of the long boiz eating gud....... In all seriousness, I'll send you a video of the Red Wolf destroying krill 🦐😳
Hey Zack, great idea!!! that should keep the gangster on his side of the jail lol Vince
😂😂 For now!!
I’d be down, rescued a oscar recently if he’s eating I’ll record it.
That sounds awesome! Glad to hear you rescued it!! I'll be excited to see it
They are two titans, they must not see each other, the titans will fight each other
Cue the epic battle music!!
Lol I Litteraly guessed you’d make a divider
You nailed it then! 😂
Would love to be featured. From Michigan and wanna come see you all!
Bro i wanna try it my rtc is about 45cm and my hybrid is 22cm but im scared the hybrid will go underneath
What's that hard plastic stuff called?
I have some fish but not live feeders but would love to have my tank featured
It would be amazing to be featured in one of your videos!!! I have a largemouth bass that hand feeds!!!
That'd be perfect!!
Like their furry counterpart, they are territorial as well. My cats would attack any unfamiliar cat coming into our yard. I was thinking of getting a catfish, butttttttt no room for a big fishie.
It would be cool to be in one of your videos!
Then you'll have to send me a clip!!
is the netting safe to put with cichlids?
I can't see why not! Assuming they're not small enough to try and squeeze through the netting. I lost a couple feeder minnows getting stuck that way
SC Fish Keeping thank you, my cichlids are pretty big but I don’t know if there are any chemicals in the netting. Also love and support the channel keep up the great work!
Sure I'll send a feeding video. Specifically of my assorted danios and neon tetras, because it'll be funny to see them with all the monster people show off ;P
😂😂 perfect!!
I could get you a feeding video it will probably take me a week or 2 though. 2 to 5 pound channel catfish in a 7 acre pond almost eating off the bank.
I like the idea! But I have nano fish I don’t know if that is a problem because it isn’t like a predatory fish😂
Not a problem at all! 😂 I want a big mix of fish for this video!!
SC Fish Keeping Hahaha okay! Where can I send it to?
I love ur channel I wish I could have a pool pond but I don’t have a basement and I live in ny so exotic fish outside doesn’t work any ideas
I have 2 brim that completely tear up some earth worms. Where should I send some video.
I'll explain how to do it here shortly!! That sounds awesome!!
My mother switched my dad's indoor RTC pond to a Koi pond after he passed and the koi attack the food like they are starving every time. That would be fun to record.
That sounds awesome!! I'll definitely want footage of that if you can get some!
@@SCFishKeeping , Sure I can record some footage on my phone on Sunday. Where would I need to send it to after I get it.
i have some fish that i feed. i'd love to be in your video
Are reptiles also fair game for the compilation? Love the videos man, great seeing that beautiful fish is healing up.
I suppose I could throw in a random reptile clip or two! 😁
Put 90 degree elbows on the ends of the bars so it doesnt fall
oh thank god
Ever own a clown knife fish? My dad used to have one, lived for like 10+ years, should get one, they're like phantoms
I've had a small one in the past that didn't make it. They're awesome fish! I might need another!!
@@SCFishKeeping they're one of my favorite, my dad had him on a diet of night crawlers lol
So if I can catch nice blue or flathead and keep it in my tub. Grant if you go back to months ago on a comment I picked up a 120 tank. Well I live in a apartment and when I was getting it ready I had a maintenance inspection. Well they said I couldn't have it. So if your doing this. I'll go out get a few bubbliers and catch a few cats or whatever and guess raise them in the tub. What the complex dont know wont hurt right!!. And if anything we have 2 ponds that I always throw fish in that they can call home!!.. apartments suck balls!!..
😂😂 just in case your apartment landlord watches my videos... I can't condone any of these actions!
But...
Do it. 😂
@@SCFishKeeping well I hope shes one that doesnt. No offense!!.. but would love to win this
Here we go again 1:25...... ☺️☺️☺️
😂😂 it was too good not to use again!
I have a largemouth bass that is always hungry
Got a small mouth and largemouth in a pool pond, trying to start a channel so maybe the feature is a good idea
Sounds great! I'll definitely use the footage if you can get some!
@@SCFishKeeping the smallie is pretty new so we'll see
Yes ofc but how would we send the clips
I'll explain how to do it here shortly!
I'd love to be featured on ur channel but I live in the UK so I cant sadly 😥keep up the good work though
I'm down to be featured I'd love to show you my bluegill, pumpkinseed, and my largemouth bass
I have 3 big eclipse catfish that I would love to have in one of ur videos
Love those catfish!! I'll be excited to see the clips!
How do I get them to you and what do u want to see??
That'd be sick, I just wish I had a better fish to have a cooler feeding. Although my flowerhorn and Oscars are always insanely eager to eat and my bichirs smell the food and come swimming out for some food every time. Just wish I could house some peacock bass or regular bass because that'd be awesome. Btw how are yours doing?
yeah I had this same problem with a different animal I had this big leopard gecko that was over a year old and he has always lived alone and if you don't know leopard geckos are very territorial especially when they have lived alone for so long anyways my dad got my a new leopard gecko baby, not even a juvi and he just put him in there and freaked out and I was like"NO wtf he is going to eat him" and sure enough fucking buddy (my big lizard) came running out and bit (harry) the baby and started to drag him by his leg. luckily I was able to separate them before any permanent damage was done. So to combat it I used a cricket aquarium as a jail and put harry in it and put it in my big aquarium with buddy. I would switch them every day so that way harry could explore and get use to his new home and buddy would get used to him in his territory and plus I did supervise playtime with them so they could socialize, worked like a charm they were best buds by the end of the week. Hope you enjoyed my story love your videos!
Yooo I live in omaha and me and a buddy would love to meet ya and be in a video!
I would but right now I just have 2 Betta and no other fish yet
I'm not wanting to limit the feedings in anyway! I want a mix of all kinds of fish! So Betta feeding would be great!
@@SCFishKeeping ok, how can I send a video of the feed to you
Can you wait like two months I'm getting a pike cichlid and jumper catfish
I'm thinking this could be a regular thing!! So you'll be able to send me footage!
Great Idea, but what type of plastic was that, if a bio plastic the bacteria of the pond will eventually break it down, and if it abs it can leech bad chemicals into the pond. best safe plastic is PET or PETG
It is HDPE plastic. In my research I've found that it is fish safe! This however is not a permanent solution. I plan to try a few more things to get these fish together without the divide!
Appreciate your concern and knowledge! Means a lot!
@@SCFishKeeping yea just becareful with dyes, then as dyes can turn an okay plastic into a toxic one
I don’t have any monster fish so feeding my angels and such would be real average
I'm not wanting to limit this to just monster fish! So I'd love some footage of your angels!
Yes how do I send clips to you
Hey Zac, Dude I love what youre doing here! I'm new to youtube and starting my own channel showing my tanks and builds...we are just getting into raising tilapia and rainbow trout for food in our tanks. In the coming weeks and months i plan on going full time into making videos for my channel, from Pittsburgh area. Anyways, maybe hit me up, if you work with small guys like me, maybe we can collaborate on something down the road. Either way, good job love the content.
Billy Cuthbertson Jr
yes i would love to be featured in one of your videos i have two aquariums a 20 and a 30 gallon long in the 20 gallon i have live plants 1 male koi betta and a couple of pond snails in my 30 gallon long i have 1 raphael spotted catfish 1 spotted silver dollar 1 sailfin common pleco 1 female marble angelfish 1 upside down catfish 5 pearl scale danios and 1 Madagascar rainbowfish i can get footage of all of my fish eating or swimming around in the tank i can also send you pictures of some to if you want :)
Sounds like a cool mix of fish!! Definitely send me some clips!! I'll explain how to do it here shortly!
@@SCFishKeeping ok awesome thanks for letting me be in one of your videos
I have fish that I feed, but they aren't very aggressive eaters.
Hey man. I was looking at live fish to ship and I saw someone selling a tiger nose like yours for $5k!!!!! Did you know they were that sought after?
I haven't heard of them going for that much! That's crazy!
Still waiting on those feeding clips 👀
Any ones specifically man?! 😂
@@SCFishKeeping yea , the big boys in this video man 💪🏼
I don't have any big fish but I got some large snakes? Haha does that count?
I'm thinking about including a couple reptile clips! What sort of snakes do you have??
I have 2 reticulated pythons, a blood python a 3 ball pythons, a carpet python, and a Brazilian rainbow boa.
@@taylorksturtevant nice collection!! I was strongly considering a carpet python for awhile. They look so cool!
He is definitely awesome looking! His face kinda reminds me of a dragon. He's a little stunted, he was a rescue from a bad situation, so he's definitely not as big as he could be, but he's a show stopper for sure. Haha
Maybe next time label them Part 1 and Part 2
HECK YAH, I would really want to send a vid of my killer fish eat
Sounds good!! I'll explain what I'm thinking and how to send it here soon!
