- We found an abandoned pond in Virginia that had tons of fish suffering in what can only be described as a black mud puddle.

Probably some of the rude comments are of those who can’t appreciate the size or beauty well through a video. It looks gorgeous! And I’m sure even more in person. Great on you guys to have taken those fishies off to a better life.
I think the white and grey koi is called a kujaku. Im not 100% sure on that, that's just what I found by looking it up. Love your channel and I have learned a lot from your videos. You and Lisa are awesome
Thanks for blasting those idiots in the comments. Sometimes the trolls need to be put in their place. Also hats off to the girl who reached out about the fish. She could just killed them all and not tell anyone. But she cared enough to help out the fish in need. Great video!
The new homeowners did a great thing to have the fish rescued ❤ The previous home owners should be ashamed of themselves!
Moved to Springfield, Mo in 2003, put in what I thought was a small pond, appx 8,000 gals. Pond was 5 feet at deepest. Just move and sold the house. Arranged for the Koi to have new home before we left. Worked with AquaScape. The better half said no more fish. I will continue to try to set up aquarium in the future. Great job on rescue.
The fish look so much happier.......that's all that counts for everyone 🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🐳🦈
Lovely pond! Shout out to the couple who were thoughtful enough to rehome these beautiful creatures. 🐠🩵🙌
I am absolutely 100% jealous . What a beautiful pond. So happy you guys were able to rescue fish as well to put in it they are just as beautiful as the pond itself.
What a great start. Getting to watch the pond videos all at once is great. Still wish we weren't absent for so long and missed this as it was happening. Just like the inspiration you guys gave us at the beginning of our journey you have now revived that aqua fever lol. You guys are great keep doing what you're doing!!
The pond is splendid for the Koi and it looks great!
Beautiful!! Just a side note: I doubt you would do this, but a friend had a prized koi pond and their groundskeeper applied something to their lawn without protecting the pond - all died quickly. 😢. As for 'evil' people - let's not say that the previous folks were the bad guys either. They may have been elderly and couldn't take care of them as well as they used to. Someone's grandkids might watch this someday, and it will break their hearts. Somebody clearly cared for them at one time - it was a beautiful setup. No bad guys, just lucky folks able to help others at just the right time!
I don't have a pond but do have two aquariums. Even I get really upset when a fish dies. (white cloud mountain minnows and platties oh and one zebra danio). Survivor of six.
I think it looks great! Good on you for getting them a new home 😊
My husband would love a pond like that. Some people are just toxic. That pond is awesome. ❤
great rescue couldnt of planned it any better pond ond fish look amazing
John there will always be critics in this world, the pond looks good, and the rescue koi looks happy. You might need a net just in case (extra protection) birds and racoon might attack them.
Did you take the frog and where's the turtle?
John don't worry about what other people say about you, they are just mad they don't have a beautiful pond with fish .I would not give them any time or thoughts. 😊.much love from North Carolina love and hugs.
love the pond! don't let the haters get you down, focus on the positive!
Naysayers need to see and say negativity to feel validated or seen. This pond and situation is a dream come true and is the cherry on top of a long growing journey to your property. Cheers!!!!!!
Much love from Milford Indiana!
The kids who bought that home are amazing for finding those fish a new home 😊
Congratulations John and Lisa❤❤❤
Cracking Fish there, what a Result! 👍
Hello John and Lisa, the pond is simply beautiful and the rescue fish are gorgeous. I love everything in it. ❤
What a perfect outcome! I swear I saw those fish smiling when they made it into your pond! 😊
I only recently found your channel. Your online personas are refreshingly genuine and you give great practical advice. Yes, you run a business, but I don’t feel like I’m watching an infomercial. I wish there was something remotely like you in these parts. We are heading into winter soon, & I’ll be working from home in an office in a semi-finished basement for the foreseeable future. So I’m cleaning up my old tanks, replacing equipment as needed, and will be slowly and deliberately setting them up again following your advice. Your channel is perfect.
Love a rescue i would say the black and white with red mark seems to be a tancho showa perhaps and the fully red could be a benigoi great video
Rescuing these beautiful fish was a wonderful thing to do. And I think your pond is the perfect size!
Good on you
Just make sure wildlife doesn’t get to them
Great job, great pond.
Beautiful fish. So glad you all saved them from that muddy mess
lmao!😅 you are sooooo right about the comments saying negative things about the pond! sometimes I just dislike people and their stupidity! they need to just shut the piehole!
I love the pond. So happy for you and for the fish that were kindly rescued to enjoy it.
Wow this touched my heart ♥️
A job well done! ❤
Man i am happy for you. It is also my dream to have a pond like my grandma used to have. Great rescue!
Awesome pond
The pond looks great! The fish are beautiful! Enjoy!!!
Congrats on accomplishing your life long dream, awesome pond love it. Great looking fish sure they're a lot healthier and happier now. Look forward to seeing your updates and should you get the opportunity to add a further pond I look forward to seeing it Good luck on all your present and future projects.
AMAZING RESCUE.. the pond looks amazing in every possible way.. i would not change a thing on this pond.
hopefully the other smaller fish were also rescued.. they must have been .. its john after all!!!
The pond is gorgeous! Someday I hope to have a pond too! Ignore the people who try to bring you down 😊
Great job! Amazing pond!! Well done! 👏
My neighbor had a pond and her Koi were taken by owls. Or perhaps cats but she thinks owls. She ended up getting goldfish and there were so many it was unbelievable because they breed so quickly.
Very Beautiful Pond and Fish 🐠
I caught that Step Brothers reference
So what's your plan for winter? I've been wanting to build a pond myself but that's my main concern.
Oh I forgot to tell you that if you want to know what kind of koi they are then hit up Hawaiian fish keeper. He does all things koi. He will definitely know what kind you have and will be more than happy to help you out. His name is Mel and he's the happiest person I know.
this pond if well cared would be interesting
Did you get the little minnows?
Lovely pond, lucky fish.
While not 100% my taste, I'd put in water weeds and not be able to have Koi, those fish are going to be so happy they out grow that water. You might want to put some underwater plants up by the rock sphere to help the pond filter by removing some of the Nitrates (where the koi won't destroy them).
Those dangly bits keep your pants from falling down…
They're called built in suspenders.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's odd is all the comments mentioning hateful comments, yet ive scrolled for days seeing nothing. Censorship? Violation of free speech? UA-cam at it's finest not showing both sides.
Do fish really mind the green water?
It's a shame about the homeowner's pond. That was originally a beautiful pond, and the plantings still looked good. It would have needed a lot of water quality improvements, but that old pond still has potential.
Now you need some GoPros in the pond.
I fully believe fish are the most abused pet.
Who in their right mind leaves a pond with a bunch in fish in it? Then doesn't tell the new homeowner how to care for them.
Did y'all not think to drain that pond to make it easier to get the fish?
Love your pond and good on you guys for putting rescue fish in there. I would have expected no less with all the amazing cat rescuing that Lisa is doing. You guys should get nothing but praise for all you're doing!!
What a great resolution for everyone involved! Those fish get upgraded to the Cadillac of ponds, you get gorgeous Koi, and you saved 28 fish lives. Love how it all came together. Good luck managing your impending MPS! lol
The fish look totally happy in their new home, those 4 koi are stunning. (Great names as well) great rescue story. Ignore all the negative comments they are not worth your energy. Looking forward to seeing your pond mature with some time. 😊
I think that's the first time I've seen you in pants. Sure, they were rubber pants, but I'm counting it! 😂
Due to illness my pond has fell into disrepair, fortunately, no fish were lost. This stunning pond is giving me the motivation next spring to bring it back to life, not as great as yours but I’m definitely giving it a go. I love it.
There's an amazing video from Sacramento Koi called "What It's Like to Buy Koi in Japan" and you might be able to identify your other two koi from the tons they show in that video!
It makes my heart feel so good that your pond fish are rescues! I bet they are so happy being in a fresh new pond! And the little ones are especially precious! 🥰🐠
Man, you gotta give me the mod power to bring my mighty Axe of Discipline down on these keyboard clowns! 😂
Awesome job John. Only curious but what happened to the minnows?
Good stuff, I wish I had a yard to do that. How do you deal with predators that want to eat your fish? Heron, Racoon, Otters etc., are all in play here. The Otters especially can wipe out a lot of fish and crayfish
Yeah, look at those nice Koi and goldfish! So much happier now, and so are you. It turned out so much better for all three parties (Fishes, new homeowner that didn't want to be a fish-pond owner and you). Good video, man, I hope you'll read (or hear about) this and all other positive comments that will flood this comment section ;-)
Amazing rescue John what you and Lisa do for animal's is amazing your both great . And dont waste your time replying to haters you have some amazing people in your community.
you crack me up you tell them!😂ppl are going to have stupid opinions
i do not get the shallow part complaint lol. without the shallow parts you just end up with a bathtub looking hole.
A good rainfall will raise your waterlevel a couple feet and double the water volume.
Awesome video, great work rescuing the fish! I’m glad the lady cared enough to call someone to get the fish. She obviously cared about them even if she isn’t interested in them! Good work to everyone involved! Thanks for the amazing videos and your new fish are beautiful!
I wouldn't worry about the haters. There's always going to be users that like to shitpost. I'd take it with a grain of salt. Most of us know you've got a great handle on things and this channel has been instrumental in helping so many people with their tanks, myself included. The one thing to remember is that responding to shitposters is what they want.
That guy just wanted 5 minutes of fame.
Lol...john told em...mama boy gotta grow up
they wil eat rt out of your hand in no time!you can even train them to come to a bell halarious 😂
The ponds plants and nitrifying bacteria must be amazing keeping those fish alive in that nasty pond. They are huge, can’t believe how good they looked. Shows how a good older pond can do it’s thing. Granted they probably needed to vacuum it out at some point, bet in it’s hay day it was a very nice!
The pond is gorgeous! Some really lucky fish,they got the best home,💚💙
Hi it’s a nice pond ❤
Makes me sick how people treat animals. Pets rely on us to take care of them. Besides looks to me at least $400 for the koi to be resold, definitely a good gain for y’all and n the new pond. Fired Up!!!
Todays words of wisdom from the man: Grow up, it´s not that hard!" I could NOT agree more! Have a beautifull day out there folks and keep em swiming!
I didn't know KG Tropicals was in NC!!! Another North Carolinian here, I'm glad you were able to give those fish a new home. The pond looks fantastic, and it will look even better when the plants fill in! I love how crystal clear that water is!!!
Quick question. Do you have to cycle a pond like you do an aquarium? It may be a stupid question, but I've never heard or seen anyone mention it, so I thought I would ask. I've always wanted a pond, unfortunately, I'm not where I can set one up right now...
Great video. The pond looks amazing and I thought the part with you reading the comments was hilarious. Just remember you can’t fix stupid! 😂😂😂😂😂
This was so amazing. The fish must be so happy and hell with whoever just left the fishes like that!!! smh.....
Oh man I wish I had that pond. Love the jumpy fish. Hope it lives many more years
These pond videos probably my favorite as I catch up on my fish keeping algo, are there updates since this video? I’ll look
YAASS POND #2 and CALLING OUT HATERS! 👏👏👏 i am here for this! also you sir are living my dream im so jealous
hi cutest couple of the fish world! ... hey John you really dont have to explain your self to local haters... dont fall in that trap. make your videos and enjoy your life. thank you guys for sharing this beautiful moments with us!
It's absolutely gorgeous, John! Congratulations! Since I know virtually nothing about ponds, what is involved in the maintenance? Are water changes, vacuuming, etc. needed as in aquariums? Just wondering. Have fun!
@KGT sword signed by Randy Jackson?? I pissed myself. Lmfao
The big red koi is called a Benigoi, I think.... The fourth koi might be an Asagi, only lacking the red underneath?? 😊😊 I really love my koi!!! Here in Norway they are inside for the winter! 😅😅 You must remember yours came from muddy to clear water..... That makes them skittish. I found that adding some floating plants helps their confidence! 😊😊 Enjoy your pond, it is gorgeous!!! ❤❤
I remember a Nc pastor named Je' Michael Howard Kennedy have moved into his home 🏡. With his family included his wife for 28 years with 4 daughters, 2 sons, but one of his daughter was like daddy their fish in the backyard. It was 25 koifish and 6 dojo loaches. They decided to keep the fish after the former tenants lift behind the animals for whatever reason . But also have 3 dalmatians and Barred parakeet who thinks it's a dog. Just like macaw in the Disney's movie 102 dalmatians. But melneted godly family. Gossipy chick, Peppa Lucybaby, Nori and Polka cookie.❤😂😊.
It's a beautiful pond and the fish are gorgeous. Don't listen to the haters, they are just jealous
I'm sure the fish are very happy to move to such a beautiful pond. I love your pond and the fish look so happy and energised in their new home!
just a word of warning. If that is Mexican Petunia be careful. It will spread like a weed. If is going around the pond in cracks and crevices it will be fine. It's kind of like bamboo. It grows everywhere and you will not get rid of it no matter what you do. But if it's not then I don't know what it is. But I LOVE THE POND. It brings such a peaceful environment for you to go around and just relax.
4 years ago I went to a pet shop saw a school of yellow male guppies in a vase. So I purchased them for $ 20 a piece. Than I get them home/ quriontion before introducing them to their new home 🏡. I already had a clown pleco, 6 X- Ray tetras, 3 cocktoo dwarf cichlids and 12 Scissors ✂ tail rasboras. In a 129 gallon aquarium. 6 ferrets Raj Hopt iv.
This was sooo nice...such beautiful fish.....they will now be spoiled again..i think....lol..i know they will.
Funnily enough Carp like mudponds. The best of the Koi go out in mudponds in Japan for growth and health. Goldfish and Koi are Carp. They are nice shaped Koi you rescued.. I like the Red Ogon l think it is, might be female. You best check those goldfish carefully might be baby Koi in there too!
That’s funny about the critical comments. I like your response even more! I’m guessing those people don’t have ponds😂 I live on a famous lake in Arkansas but would love a pond of my own! My 37 and 55 gallon aquariums are good for now. Y’all are great and I always enjoy your videos.
Looking fabulous m8, the Koi look amazing, only thing missing is a bench for you and the wife to perch and view.
I love the pond! I had a little goldfish pond in my backyard growing up. I used to stick my finger in and let the goldfish “kiss” me. Lovely tank!! I hope the joy of fishkeeping can overrule the negative feelings you expressed.
Sword signed by randy Jackson lmfao. John you wanna go do some karate in the garage an become best friends lol. Screw the haters bruh! Ponds the perfect size for infront of your house. Thats why you make the natural pool that your can swim with your fish later 👍 "You wanna bigger pond ill give you a bigger pond Bit@%s"
I wish my pond was so beautiful! I have a natural pond , it holds about 7000 gallon of water. I have 42 koi and thousands of goldfish(there were 20 of them in april) .
