seen in the world don't get to gist now I love my big man eating fish right so I never thought I'd see one of those in person in my life that's amazing if I had this I would be swimming in there every single day you want to get some shorts on you you can go I I brought I actually brought shorts just in case you said that I'm like if Josh invites me to go swimming in there all right guys this is not going to be an easy day for me because I am giving away my prized sting race and it took me a long time to collect these I've got a black diamond I've got a king Henley ey some of you guys know fish probably most of you don't but here's a couple these are called bosani these are some of the only bosani stingrays that I've ever seen anywhere in the in the world and for me to get them I actually connected with a guy that lived in Finland who traveled to South America cuz he was the only one that could get a permit to collect them and he brought them back to me they were about that big and I raised them as little tiny babies but we are hiking them when I say we're giving them away we going to hike them about about 12 hours down the road and the person I'm giving them to has the most amazing fish collection of anywhere I've ever seen in the world his entire house has monstrous aquariums that have the rarest fish of anywhere I've ever personally seen in my life it's unreal so you know if I was going to give my prize fish to anybody I would rather give them to him than to sell them to somebody else and I'm going to take you guys along for the ride and show you exactly his place it will freaking blow you away but here's how I'm transporting so I went to my nards and I bought these 27 gallon totes and I'm going to fill them up with the water from the aquarium and then I have a air pump that I will plug into the dash of the truck and then I will air rate them the entire Journey um I'm not going to take a chance of losing them at the last minute on the on the journey there so cross our fingers we have a safe journey um the next time you see me we will be showing up at Josh's house sometime tomorrow and uh we're in for an adventure if you haven't seen this it is legitimately the most epic fish set set up rare fish whatever you want to say anywhere in the world and he's got his own YouTube channel but we're going to see him in just a moment so let's go now all right we only got 2 hours left and we'll be there and here's how the load is looking so far everything is still going good air pump is is pumping and uh the rays are doing good everything's stacked up

4400 a 2200 a 3,000 a 58,000 you get the gist we got some big tanks so let's take a look let's go check so first and foremost this is one of the two bagio aquarium so we call it both of these came out of the bagio casino on the show tank each one is 20 foot long 3T wide four 4ot tall $1,800 gallons each tank cost over $150,000 to originally be be built with filtration full life support the corals and the facading we didn't end up getting any of the facading we just got the aquariums and the filtration so we got a hell of a deal we brought them here to Ohio fish rescue we set them up this tank is home to a bunch of what we call Community monsters so we have you know B sharks leenus barbs all sorts of stuff that you really wouldn't see grow big but you sell them at the pet stores for $2 $3 and they get big I'm going to let him take over and show you what's in the next you saw that I wanted to talk and I put my hand up I saw that yeah yeah yeah you did the same thing I did same thing you did um you can actually look up it's called the bagio Heist is the video of us getting these tanks and bringing them home when fish come in they go go through 3 to four weeks of rigorous quarantine they get treated for parasites bu fungle um bacero and we make sure the fish are eating and they are doing well before we ad adopt them out not to say put them into our you cannot adopt him beforehand but there is a disclosure this fish did not finish quarantine you know he's bit been here for ex am M amount of days if you want to take them that is on you because you're going to have to quarantine them when you get them to your to your house your water y yep so yes we have all these fish in quarantine this is a whole breeding colony of HS and if you look behind you yet another 1,800 G gallon tank and I'm going to let him tell you all about this one oh me I get to talk I'm kidding watch this this is the neatest thing you put your hand up here and they think it's feeding time now if you look look off to the left and look off to the right there's no fish over there they're all here now I feel bad I'm not feeding them let me give them some food you're tease now you got some brand new fish in right and we've got um one of the gold base albino Pearl yep we've got you know all these are quot quarantined to be fish so we've got tiger shovel nose giant gramy bman stingrays we've got sturon over here you've got the albino sterlets you've got the white the Diamond Backs you've got the super white cross big spot stin thing right here and then down here is actually something really neat I don't even think I told you about these yet but there is four tiger more eels one is right there they are there's uh one back there they're hidden all over they hide really really well ones underneath that decoration what do you mean tiger Mo eel so when you think of a saltwater Mor eel it's a saltwater Mor eel that they've converted over to fresh water so it is a tiger Mor eel and fresh water and there is four of them there I um the the fish I've seen fish here that I've never seen in my life ever ever anywhere more fish I I mean this is over it really is overwhelming you guys it is such an amazing hav SE the part look at our new Rays we just got in there's look at the tubs behind you we had our buddy drive here 12 hours bringing them so we got we're still still at acclimating getting them end up to the tank we're do doing good we're giving you guys the tour while we're still you know do doing work and what it's 10 to 10:00 at night there we go it's been a long day so this right here is an mbu puffer he would fight me and call it a what it's a mauo puffer how they're pronounced Mao that's what I would say a ma that's what it's actually called that's what it's known in its native territory they call it Mau I've been corrected so many times but he will not leave go of this mbu thing M and just because of that we've got three more we've got one two and three so we're going to get to the sting raay but I want to show them the big fly River Turtle for the stingray collection here is is the best Stingray collection I've ever personally seen ever in my life ever anywhere I mean you're you're getting special treatment right now we we got the big man he's getting in the pond and if you can kick that star fish over to me and I'll get it out out of the pond starfish there's a starfish on the ground right there it's not a real starfish it is a yeah it is a mounted starfish that fell in so we just don't want it to leak in the pond there we go and speaking of rays we have a r breeding pair of muros in here one just went underneath the the sump there is a platinum yeah I have to repl that one that's another one that went bad this week come here buddy hang on give me turn come on big boy here we go this is Mr Hubert he is a fly River tur turtle and these guys come from Papa new skin he's going to do his flipping thing ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow all right now he not yet will not yet now he's done good all right so this is Hubert this is our mascot here at Ohio fish rescue hey buddy he's so soft on his fence but his shell is hard like weather so so he is uh one of the only species of fresh water what we call a sea turtle but he is a fully aquatic freshwater turtle he gets the name because he's got the pig noos that little snout it's so has a pig noos Turtle but he has flippers and not claws like uh regular turtles that what was a a scrape it is he he he went back he scraped himself on the stmp trying to get over there y hangang on all right Bud off you go bye Hubert now we're going to look at the collection of the the pipus yes I love these pter we have a little bit of everything in here first and foremost we have two Peron sharks which the these things should not be in the hobby whatsoever they get upwards of 8 feet long that they can eat small human depending on how you want to look at it but they are one of the biggest most ferocious in at any aquarium he will the will be the biggest and the fastest fish tell the story of our buddy up in Canada with a uh 50 he he had a 50,000 gallon of Arium and uh he had some Peron sharks in there and ate a 5ot long air P his per shark's dead you know what kind of fish you have to be to eat a 5ot arima we're going to show him a 6ft aropa in a moment and if you can imagine that getting eight that had to be a really big yeah they get big and bulky you know like you know okay you see a prune shark they're hard to and distinguish between um uh iridescent sharks okay except for their Top Fin has a long thing on it but if you look over here this is a blacke pero shark see how big the body is yeah so when they get 6 8T long their body is huge you know it ain't it ain't just long as skinny like they are when they're little they get big and thick like that but we also have you know we have the Saratoga or the jar Dei arowana we have uh almost a 3ot this is a true a theopus which is a marbl lung fish this is the big beast from Africa that they can get upwards of 6 ft long he is just pushing about 3ot right now when when he's uh right here I say he's probably about 35 and A4 so I say 3T but not quite you also have flag tail long nose gar and then we have a very nice collection of callipterus we have kikus we have delhey we have lapray we have enl cherries we have orates in here which are back there there is a uh there's another oret there is Del uh delhey and we weekie in the the back and then some fish that you don't see that are also in here is a 2T fire eel we also have granulosis cats we have aeni catfish and what you call a rock Baku which is one of the three largest armored cat catfish you don't see them in the hobby all too often but there's one hiding in these very Waters then next door this is The 4400 gallon aquarium where we kind of jumped around but kind of the star of the show here and this tank is Schwarzenegger this is a 3 foot Sanic iridescent shark this is the only one in the United States we have we know of we've heard of that we we know if we've been offered $8,000 for this fish and this F fish alone but we've turned to turned it down we've had him for what four years which one him right here I thought you said zanic yeah zanic which is basically all it is is a a sort of albino it's a white wash fish it's it's a shark zanic to me always referred to Yellow yeah yellow or gold yeah yeah so so you either get that bright yellow with the the black eyes or a deep like gold with black eyes and him got here so here if you look up over here there is a zanic clown knife right right there and he is a deep ah I see it now oh yeah yeah yeah okay and now that we're over here come on this is my favorite part why not this is my so right here this is our 2200g aquarium you won't believe this story but we actually stole this tank as well this tank was paid for by a car dealership they spent over $100,000 that's right $100,000 on this aquarium alone he had black tip reef sharks in it and uh when he he got busted by by the feds he was in bezeling money feds came in shut down the Deep dealership everyone they they shut down and confiscated everything and sold it at a public auction when they came in for the auction you know everyone came in they were looking for Harley and cars nobody came there looking for a fish tank right well the the the the guy put with a first bid in 750 bucks he thought you know I'm going to double my money he put it up on Marketplace in a uh buy sell trade je jewelry group group and one of our members called us says you need this tank 1,500 bucks we called him up says I'll come pick it up tomorrow anyways the two forklifts picked it up I backed the car trailer under it and they set it on the car trailer and my little Ford Edge said like this so we've got a bani and here so so this is a designer Super Spot Bose Moni we've got a super white cross female which is actually pregnant you can see the humps on her back she is ready to give birth so soon she is also pregnant right now you've got a nice black diamond male this is an eclipse Black Diamond you can see all the little Donuts on her her back that is a a trait that a lot of people have forgotten about in breeding rays and now it's starting to make a comeback and these rays are worth a lot of money really and now we've got a big female that looks nice and if you got guys know the majority of your your rays they come from the niceness of the the male so if you want to give it like a split you probably do a 65 35 from father to to Fe female so you have a nice female and a nice but father you're looking at some very very nice rays and so then we when we're talking about nice Rays we're not even close to being done all right so over here we have what we call our growout the holy Grill so this is uh an albino black diamond that is a p pure bread albino black diamond we also have an albino uh Black Diamond hybrid then we have a couple other BDS and then we have what we call a designer hybrid this is a Bose Moni crossed with a black diamond and you kind of have all these lit little spots which you know over in Asia they're they're now more concerned with the hybridization and getting the pet patterns on Rays I kind of like to keep it a little bit more simplistic and pure so I never thought I'd see one of those in person in my life that's amazing I've seen I've seen pictures but unreal I mean drool drool drool uh that big that new big spot you just got yeah un unreal un there there is another one that's actually looked past I even think you noticed her over here but this girl right here I have dreams about have you ever seen anything like that it looks like a p14 cross almost it's nothing but tiny spots all over her I don't know what she is mixed with I don't know she is just a designer I at this point but I've never seen anything look like her in my life I would sit in my aquarium uhhuh and clean it cuz I would just crawl in it and these two p14s would just come sit in my lap and I'm cleaning I'm cleaning right and I'm like oh this is so awesome my rays are just swimming all over me and then I get the bamani and I crawl in my tank and I'm cleaning and I see one of them coming by and I'm like what is it doing the tail goes up like this Josh and I'm like what what is it and I'm in the tank and I'm like what and it goes boom and it just hits me I'm Thanksgiving I jump I could I was screaming in pain while I was jumping and not fear the the pain the amount of pain it was so bad it hit me on my bare foot I spent the entire day on Thanksgiving in the tub running hot water over cuz it's supposed to alleviate the pain I gave myself third Dee bre Burns because that felt better than the pain from the bani thing that's why you have them now now look at this bad boy tell me about that one this is a jelly catfish he's uh probably about full grown right now but pound forp pound probably the meanest catfish I have here if you look up here he is always hunting and he is ready to hit at any point come on buddy he wants to get you when I get in this tank he follows me around the the tank he will swallow my elbow my my fist one time he got me so hard it felt like someone just took a hammer and whapped me and I was like what the hell that's when you know you're loved by your animals right what what one of my prize fish in this tank is that planiceps or a firewood catfish down in South America they get their name because they are long and slender so when they catch them they get about 5T long they are good for nothing except for drying out and using them as firewood but th those are a super rare cat cat fish you normally there's more this Pond 58,000 G gallons it was revamped by Greg wittock the the the pond guy he came in put a uh reverse flow Wetland f milter on it and now it is home to lots and lots of Monster Fish well we get my boy Brutus coming up he is a 6 and 1/2 ft arima let me go ahead and get their attention a little bit you've got a 40 in or so Platinum alligator gar swimming up right here and you got a pie ball gar right there I call it a xanthic pie ball that's an alligator G that right there is one of I think that's one of my favorites one of my five favorites in your place so he he is that golden color that you think a xantic is but he's got red red eyes so he's technically and a marbl albino some people like to call him a kyar um we have one of him there he is yep that's the big boy we have a smaller 4 and 1/2t maybe closer to 5ft Aima but the big guy 6 and 1/2 foot probably about 200 100 lb not now you think a 200 lb fish he's not that that big but let me tell you this guy is probably this bit big around when I stick my hand next to his tail he's about that tall so I can stick two of them out my hands and not cover the you know the the tallness of his body he is a big massive fish here goes another one of those fly River chook Turtles this is uh the baby that I grew out this was not a rescue so you can see he is a little bit more Flawless no you know uh wounds on on his shell nothing like that he's got the perfect roundness he's got no curling of his shell so this is my my boy that I've been growing out now for about 5 years and now you've got in here we so this right here here is a uh a Scarlet Cactus pleco this is a l600 that's an l600 okay I have a whole uh uh breeding pair of the these guys I've got a rhino pleco here I've got a water met melon or a royal right here this is the other 600 the cactus Leo those are rare I mean I've had them but they're just average and now you've got a certification plaque on the wall for a fish that you can't have unless you have yes that that is the Australian lung which we will get to here soon there's also a Chinese albino Wells so the these guys are rare enough as is and he is an albino on top of it yeah it's just unreal I mean if if a guy had one or two of these fish in his collection he would be really really proud cuz I had I had four gold gar and I was I thought I was King of the Ring I'm like I got the coolest fish in the world and I come here and I'm like I can't even keep track of them and just I've seen pictures of some of the fish and you just have them all over oh we're not done with the super cool fish we're not even close right here is that Australian l lungfish i was T telling you about they are aides two species which means they are…
