In todays video I find axolotls in an abandoned pond, along with a ton of crazy fish, snakes, and turtles! After getting a message from a subscriber saying they couldn’t take care of them anymore
Comments are disabled for this video.
I just found this abandoned pond that is filled with axolotls.
And my goal is to catch them all out and save them because they're not going to
survive in here much longer. You see for the past few years this
pond has been a breeding ground for axolotls.
But recently the owners haven't been able to take care of them so they asked
me to come save them. But it's not going to be easy because
there's not just axolotls in here. It's also full of a ton of other crazy
fish and there's no telling what we're going to find.
All I know is we're going to catch a ton of axolotls because there could
literally be hundreds in here. And to help me do that I brought all of
my nets and fish traps. So let's start netting around to see what all we can
find. Now since the axolotls are breeding in
here we have to be on the lookout for not only the adults but also the babies.
So with that in mind we started exploring and it didn't take me long
until I caught something. Oh my gosh! I think that's an axolotl.
Oh my gosh! You cannot make this up you guys. This
is our first net in here and we already got an axolotl.
Well it didn't take us long to catch our first axolotl however this one's a
little small and he's just a normal one. Inside of this pond there's also albino
axolotls but they're a little bit more rare.
And they only live in one part of the pond and we'll be exploring that later
in the video. But first let's get this guy into the
bucket and keep going. I then took another net and I managed to catch
another fish. This is probably the dirtiest abandoned
pond that we have ever been in. Oh my gosh! No way! Second net we already
caught something else. That's a little angel fish. This is so
cool you guys. We already caught an axolotl and we already caught a fish in
just two nets. So who knows what else we're gonna find
living inside of here. I took another scoop and as I was searching through the
net I spotted another fish. Is that a fish? What the heck is that?
Look at this. It looks like a dolphin. Wait a minute.
We've caught these in sewers before. I think you guys said they were called
elephant nose fish. I mean it makes sense. They kind of look
like elephants. Look at his nose right here. Ew that is
just disgusting. Well the fish are getting crazier and
crazier as we go on. So let's keep going. Oh what was that right there? I just saw
something come up. I'm just gonna dump it out. Let's see.
Did we get anything? Oh what was that? There's two fish in here.
One's an axolotl and then we got some other fish. Look how small he is. That is
the tiniest axolotl I've ever seen. You can see his little feet right there and
his gills. That is so cool. And then we got this
guy. Some sort of fish right there. I don't know what that is but he's crazy
looking. We added both of them to the bucket and we kept exploring to see what
else we could find. Whoa look at this. Oh my gosh that's an
iridescent shark. An albino one too. Not just a normal one.
Wow that is so cool. Well now we know there's freshwater sharks
in here so we're gonna have to be careful in case there's bigger ones.
As we kept exploring I started to realize just how many fish were in here.
Oh my gosh. Every single net I was catching crazier and crazier fish.
That is by far the prettiest fish we've caught yet so he's definitely going in
the bucket. We were even catching fish that I've never seen before.
Oh my gosh is that an arowana? It looks just like a baby arowana but I don't
think it is. Guys comment down below if you know what
this fish is. He's really cool though so we're definitely gonna keep him.
Clearly there's a lot of fish in here but it's not easy to catch them out with
the water being so gross. But since there was definitely still
fish in here I had to keep going to save the rest of them.
Anyone in here? Oh what the heck is that? Oh it's like an eel. Oh my gosh. Oh my
gosh. No no no. You guys what the heck did we just
catch? That looks like an alien right there. We just caught ourselves an alien
fish. Oh my gosh look how tiny its eyes are.
That's some sort of fish. Oh my gosh. Okay let's get him in the
bucket before he escapes. There is some weird fish in here you guys. That is
crazy. Now if you thought that was weird what I caught next was even weirder.
Oh what is that? What the heck? Oh ew. Wait a minute. Oh Helen this is a
pippa pippa frog. We've never caught one before. These are
extremely rare. We've only bought these. These are called
pippa pippa frogs and they look like freaking
aliens. Look at that thing. He looks dead but trust me he's alive. Look see he's
kicking out. That is the craziest looking frog I've
ever seen you guys. Fun fact about these guys is when they
have babies they lay the eggs on their backs
and when they're ready to hatch they crawl out of their bodies.
They're literally like aliens so that is a really cool find. We're gonna get him
in the bucket. I don't know how it can get any
crazier than that. I mean that's insane. All right let's get a little bit deeper
here. Who knows what we're gonna catch there.
Come on give me something good. Oh it smells so bad.
The only reason I'm doing this is because there's some really cool fish in
here and axolotls. Oh there's another angel fish. Look at
that. Oh that is so cool. He looks just like the first one.
Wait there's another fish. No way there's two fish in here. He's got some blue on
him right there. He's pretty. Is there anything else in here? Oh my
gosh there is. That's a ghost knifefish. No freaking way
you guys we just caught three fish in one net. Let's get these guys in the
bucket and we're gonna keep going. I took another net and when I pulled it
up I noticed something crazy. Oh oh my gosh another axolotl Helen.
We've only been netting for 15 minutes and this is the third axolotl that we've
caught and it didn't stop there. In the same
net I noticed another axolotl. No freaking way there's another one.
Look at that we got two axolotls in one net.
This one's big. Look at that. He's got like green eyes. That is so cool.
This is the most axolotls we have ever caught you guys.
They are literally loaded in this pond. So let's keep going and try to catch
some more. I took a couple more nets and eventually I caught another fish.
Did we get anything? Oh my gosh. It was a goldfish and it was the
fattest one I've ever seen. Well usually I'm not a fan of goldfish
because they're pretty common but I've never seen one like this. That is a
crazy looking fish. Now up until now all the fish that I've been catching have
been pretty small but soon that would change.
Come on. Oh I think I just saw something. Oh what is that?
Oh my gosh there's two fish. There's one right here and then there's one right
here. Those are so cool. This is a Raphael
catfish and this one is called the Chinese hyphen loach. We don't catch
these all that often so that is really cool. Two more fish.
Let's get them in the bucket and keep going.
All right here we go. Let's get in this corner. There's got to be something there.
Oh my gosh. That's a little albino bicer. That is so cool.
Bicers are one of my favorite fish. They're so prehistoric looking.
We got another fish right here. What the heck? I've never seen anything like that.
Well we got another mystery fish. Comment down below if you know what it is.
Now we've already caught a bunch of really cool fish and axolotls inside of
the pond but so far we've only explored the
shallow end. As we move further down the water's gonna get deeper and deeper and
I have a feeling that's where the monsters are gonna be.
So I started netting around in the deeper end and immediately I caught this.
No freaking way. First net in the deep end. Look at this.
Something crazy. Oh my gosh. Is that a ripsaw? Oh wait no that's an orweenie.
That's even cooler than a ripsaw. That is by far the craziest fish that we've
caught so far. And since he was so big we had to put
him in his own container. Well first big fish of the night. That is
a crazy find. Let's get back in there and see what else we can get.
And now that we know the monster fish are in the deeper end we kept exploring.
As I was searching through my next net I spotted another big fish.
It's a baby red-tailed catfish. Oh my gosh he is adorable.
Well that's another monster fish however he's not fully grown. These guys will get
massive. So that is an awesome find. Let's get him in the bucket. We added him to
the bucket and then suddenly I was attacked.
Ow! Oh my gosh. Something just freaking hit my leg.
Something just hit my leg right there. There was some really big fish in here
and one just ramped into me. Well whatever it is we got to get in
there and catch it out because we have to save everything.
So I took another net and I managed to catch another fish.
Oh I think we got something. What is that? It's colorful.
That's a mighty cichlid right there. Wow he's pretty. He's got orange and white on.
That is awesome. Well the fish are definitely getting
bigger so let's get him in the bucket and keep going. I took another net and I
ended up catching something crazy. Anything? Oh my gosh an axolotl.
But this wasn't just any axolotl. It was actually one of the rarest ones in the
world. I think this is a melanistic axolotl you guys. He is jet black.
Now you guys know what albino ones are. That's when they're all white.
Melanistic is when they're all black and I think we just caught one. These are
super rare. This is by far the best axolotl that
we've caught so far but who knows there might be a bigger one still in there.
And well I was right because in my next net I caught this.
Is that an axolotl? That's the biggest axolotl I've ever seen Helen. Oh my gosh
look at the size on that thing. I didn't even know they got that big you guys.
That is a monster axolotl. That's definitely one of the ones that
are breeding in here creating all these babies.
Wow now we know there's some monster axolotls in here so let's keep going.
Here we go. Oh my gosh. Oh this is disgusting. Look at this.
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. What the heck is that?
Oh it's an arowana. I got him. I got him. I got him. Look at that you guys. We got
an arowana. That is probably the coolest fish that we've caught so far.
We added him to the bucket with the other monster fish and we kept going.
Oh let's see what else we can get. Oh wait what the heck is that? Oh
there's a fish right here. Oh it's a puffer fish.
No way. What kind of puffer is that? The thing is huge. I think that's a fahaka
puffer fish right here. We've caught these before but this is a massive one.
Look at the teeth right there. Those are so sharp you do not want to get bit by that.
Let's go ahead and add this guy to the bucket and keep netting around.
I continued going deeper into the pond when I suddenly caught a whole family of axolotls.
Did we get anything? Oh my gosh right here. Look there's an axolotl. Oh my gosh.
Oh wait there's a baby too. Look at this. There's a smaller one.
As I kept searching I was finding more and more babies.
There's two more right here. In total I caught five axolotls in one net.
This is literally crazy guys. We're gonna have an axolotl army.
I took another net and this time I caught something completely unexpected.
Oh I think I see something. There's something yellow in here.
Oh there it is. There it is. What is that? Oh my gosh. It's a turtle.
Oh my gosh he's so tiny. I've never seen a turtle this small.
And this is not just any turtle. He's albino. That is so cool.
I don't know much about turtles so if you guys know what this is comment down below.
Either way he's really cool so we're gonna toss him in the bucket and we're gonna keep him.
Oh big scoop come on. Oh that's heavy.
Oh I see something. What is that? Oh my gosh.
It was an albino oscar but sadly there was a dead one in the same net.
That just shows guys we have to catch these fish out because they're dying in here
and they're not going to survive much longer.
So now that we know the fish are dying in here we kept on netting to try and save the rest.
Oh my gosh. That is the biggest blue crawfish I've ever seen.
Oh my gosh I'm shaking right now.
Wow that is a monster. It's literally bigger than my hand.
I had no idea there was blue crawfish in here let alone one this big.
You guys this is insane. I'm telling you this is the biggest one I have ever seen.
And since he was so big that would explain why his pinch was so strong.
Let go. Let go. Oh my gosh. Let go. Ow.
Once he let go we added him to the bucket and then we got back to catching fish.
Wait I caught a bunch of fish though. There's like three fish in here.
Check this out. I have no idea what this is.
That's some sort of catfish but I've never caught this before. That is so cool.
Oh we got another ghost night fish. Check that out. That's a big one.
We got him and then we have one more in here I think.
It's another African cichlid. This one is super pretty.
Three more fish. Let's go ahead and add them to the bucket.
Let's keep exploring and see what else we can find.
Now we didn't catch any fish in this net but we did catch something else.
Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. There's a snake. There's a snake right here. Look.
Is that venomous? I don't know snakes guys.
I don't do snakes as you guys know. I am terrified of them.
This guy's really small. Look at his belly. It's like orange and red. That is so cool.
I don't think he's venomous because he doesn't have a triangle head so.
Oh god. Oh god. Oh he's in my hand. He's in my hand right now. Don't bite me. Do not bite me.
I guess we'll just let him go in the woods. I don't know what he was doing in the pond.
See you later buddy. Don't come back.
After we removed the snake we got back in the pond and kept on netting.
Oh my gosh. Helen. Helen there's something big. Look. There's a giant fish in the net.
What the heck is that? It's a vampire fish Helen. Whoa it's a big one too.
They have some of the biggest teeth in the world. Check that out. Ow. Ow. He just freaking bit me.
That is one crazy fish right there. We're gonna add him to the bucket.
I was not expecting to catch one of these. These are one of my favorite fish.
They get massive and as you can tell they got some chompers on them.
We're going deeper into the pond you guys. Oh gosh this stuff is so nasty.
As I got deeper into the pond it started to get a little scary.
There's something big right here. Helen. Helen. Helen. Something big.
Honestly I think that might be a gator. I'm not even kidding. I think that's a gator.
Clearly something big was down there and I wanted to find out what it was.
I think it's a big turtle Helen. I'm gonna grab it.
Ah. I don't know where its head is. I got it.
Oh my gosh. What is that? No way. Look at that thing. That is a giant mata mata turtle you guys.
I had no idea that it was a mata mata turtle. I thought it was an alligator.
As you can see his shell right here it resembles a gator.
I stepped on it and I could have sworn a gator was down there but nope.
It was a giant mata mata turtle. These guys are from the Amazon and they are crazy.
Now we already have a couple of these guys back at home but I think this one is way
bigger than them. This is so cool. We put him in his own container and
then we kept exploring the deep end. Did we get anything?
Oh my gosh. Another axolotl. This is a big one too. Check him out you guys.
Now we've caught so many axolotls already however the biggest ones are still to come.
There was so many in here that I was catching them in almost every net.
There's another axolotl and some sort of catfish right here.
This kind of looks like a whale's catfish. I have no idea. That's really cool though.
Axolotl. Catfish. Going in the bucket. Well so far we've explored the shallow end and the
middle and what we're going to do is we're going to take a couple more nets right here
and then we're going to venture off to the deepest part of the pond
and see what all we could catch over there. All right here we go. Oh I think we got something.
Oh my gosh look at this. There's something big in here Helen. We've only caught a couple of
these before. This right here is a pink jack dimpsy. Usually we catch the normal jack dimpsies
but never these and this is a really big one so let's get him in the bucket and then we'll take
one final net here in the middle. Let's try to end it off strong here. Come on give us something good.
What is that? Oh my no way. We definitely ended it off strong. We got another pippa pippa frog.
That is so cool you guys. That is the second one we've caught tonight. It would be really cool if
this one was a male and the other was a female and then they could breed and then we could witness
that monstrosity in person. Oh that would be disgusting you guys. Okay well another pippa
pippa frog. Let's get him in the bucket and then it's time to go to the deep end. I am not looking
forward to that. Okay here we go guys. We're making our way to the deepest section of the pond.
Oh my gosh this is absolutely disgusting. Look at this. This is pretty terrifying. At least
I got my waders on. Okay I'm just gonna take a net right here okay. Come on please no gator,
no snake, no anything crazy. This better be worth it. This pond is so deep I can't even see the net
Helen. Is there anything? Tell me. Oh my gosh. What? What? Oh I see it. A binoplankton. I see it
a binoplankton. Look at that. Oh my gosh that's so cool guys. I am so deep in this pond right now.
I literally cannot look in the net. This is crazy. We're gonna go ahead and get this guy into the
bucket. First scoop in the deep end. There's gotta be a lot more where that came from. All right let's
go deeper. Oh my gosh. What was that? There's something. Oh my gosh. There's something crawling
on top of the water. That had to have been like a snake or something. Okay no thank you. Did we
catch anything? I think that's a ghost knife. Oh wait I feel. Oh I see. Oh my gosh. That is a giant
ghost knife fish. I think that might be the biggest one I've ever seen. Look at that thing. Man he is
big. Okay we're definitely getting him in the bucket. I don't know though. I don't know how
much I can take. This deep end is really scary. And as I explored it some more it got even scarier.
Something just hit my foot. Oh my gosh. Okay that was a big fish. I tried to catch whatever it was
but then it attacked me. Oh my gosh. Get me out of here. Get me out of here. No no no. Get me out of here. Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh. That was a big fish. Did you see that? I swear something big attacked me. Okay I'm
not going back in there. Well you guys we managed to get to the deepest part of the pond and we were
catching some crazy stuff but we weren't able to explore it all because there's something big down
there and it was just too scary. But thankfully we brought all my fish traps and these will hopefully
catch whatever is still down there. And we're gonna place one in the shallow end, one in the middle,
and one in the deep end. So let's go ahead and bait them up. We placed a little bit of tilapia
in each trap. That way whatever is down there will smell it and hopefully go in. All right here
goes the first trap. Here goes the second trap. And here goes the third one. I am not going back over
there. And while we let these fish traps marinate we're gonna be exploring the area where the albino
axolotls live and hopefully we could catch them all out. And in my first net I caught something
but it wasn't an axolotl. Oh what is that? Oh my gosh. I think that's a discus. No freaking way.
We have never caught a discus before. That is actually super cool. I guess there's more than
just albino axolotls in here. I guess there's also fish. So who knows what else could be down there.
I kept netting around and finally I found this. Oh my gosh. Yes let's go. We got an albino axolotl.
It's a pretty big one too. Look at that. First albino one of the night. These guys are super
cool. And there's plenty more where that came from. We just started. So let's get back in there
and see if we can catch some more. Not long after that I caught another one. Come on there has to be
something in here. Oh my gosh. I see a big axolotl right here. Look at this Helen. Oh my gosh. No
freaking way. That's like the biggest one we've caught all night. But that wouldn't last long
because soon we would catch an axolotl that would make this one look tiny. That right there is the
second albino axolotl of the night. This thing is literally massive. We're gonna get him in the
with the rest of them and we're gonna keep exploring. Here we go. Let's take another net
right here. Give me some more. Oh look at that. Oh my gosh. It's another elephant nose Helen. That
right there's the second fish that we've caught in this area and it's another elephant nose. We
caught one earlier in the video so that's really cool. That's two so far. We're gonna add this guy
to the bucket and I think we're gonna do a couple more nets in here. This pond it's not like the big
pond. There's not as many fish and axolotls. We've been netting in here for a little bit and we
haven't caught much. But we kept going and eventually we caught something else. Big big
scoop. Come on. Give me something good. Oh are you kidding me right now? Do you see the size of that
axolotl? Oh my gosh. I'm shaking right now. This is the biggest one I've ever seen and it's albino.
This is insane you guys. This is by far the biggest axolotl I have ever seen. That's got to be like
14 inches long. That is so cool. We're gonna have an axolotl army after this. Well we got him.
Oh oh my gosh there's another one. Look at this. That is two albino axolotls in one net. What a way
to end it off. We're gonna get these guys in the bucket with the rest of them and then we're gonna
let our fish traps sit all night long and we're gonna come back and hopefully we catch something
crazy. But yeah so far this video has been insane. We waited a few hours and we came back to check
the fish traps in the middle of the night. All right here we go. We got the rope. Let's check
the first fish trap and see what all we caught. Look at this. There are so many fish in the trap.
Here we go. Let's see what all we got. Oh my gosh. Right off the bat that looks just like the other
goldfish that we caught earlier except he's like almost all white. That is super cool. Oh man we
gotta go quick Helen. There's a lot of fish in here. Look at this handful. Oh my gosh. I don't
even know what to say. We have cichlids. We have albino bichirs. We have elephant nose. We have
sharks. This fish trap is literally loaded right now. What else we got? We got another handful.
What the heck is that? We got a gourami. We got a little puffer fish. We got a cichlid but I can't
tell you what this one is. I have never seen this fish before in my whole entire life. Comment down
below if you know what it is but we're gonna get them in the bucket. What else we got? Oh we got
a couple more fish in here. We got another gorgeous African cichlid. Oh we got another
of these weird eel looking things. Oh this one's a lot bigger. Look at that creepy looking fish.
That is insane. In the bucket you go. Well guys I think that was it for the first fish trap. There
was a lot of fish in there. Check it out. We got the whole entire bucket filled up with just one
trap but we have two more to check. So let's go out to the middle and see what we caught in that
one. All right here we go. We got the rope for the second trap. Oh gosh this one is out deep.
Here we go. Let's oh oh my gosh. Look at this. There's a giant oscar in there. Oh my gosh.
We got a bunch of fish in this trap guys. Let's see what we got. Right off the bat I could see
a massive albino oscar. Easy buddy. Don't jump back in. Wow look how pretty he is. In the keeper
bucket you go. Oh we got another one of these guys. I'm pretty sure that's a Texas cichlid but
they're just really fat. Look at that. We got a little Raphael catfish and we got another ghost
knifefish. We've caught a lot of ghost knifefish today. Oh we got another big catfish right here.
That's another one of these guys. They kind of look like wells catfish but I have no idea. Oh
my gosh look at that. Two more ghost knifefish. Holy crap. That's gotta be the most ghost knifefish
we've ever caught in one video. Oh check it out. We got another axolotl. That's a decent size one.
He's pretty cool. Oh and I see another one. Another axolotl. Two in total from this trap.
That is so cool and I think that'll do it for the second trap you guys. Well we got a lot of fish in
there and that just leaves one and that's the one all the way in the deep end. I'm really nervous
for that. There could literally be anything in there. So let's see what we got. All right here
we go. We got the rope. I am not going nowhere near that deep end. I'm just gonna pull it towards us.
It feels heavy. I think there's something in it. Here we go. Oh my gosh what is that? What the heck
is that? There is a monster fish in there. Oh I think I see two fish actually. They're both really
big. I have no idea what this one is though. What the heck is that? That looks like a freaking alien
you guys. I think it's some sort of catfish. Oh man he is big. Oh my gosh that is so freaky looking.
Look at his mouth. Wait I have one of these. I think this is a pac-man catfish. These guys are
extremely rare and we've only been able to come across one before and this one is a lot bigger
than the one I bought. That is so freaking cool. What they do is they bury in the sand so only
their eyes and mouth stick up and they wait for prey to swim right over them and boom they get
them. So that's really cool. We're definitely adding him to the bucket and then there's something else
in here. Oh that's a big bicer. I definitely know what that is. Look at that. That is a big bicer
right there you guys. Oh wow that is a monster. That is so cool. Get him in the bucket and I think
that is it for the third and final fish trap. We caught two monster fish in there and all together
we caught a ton of fish in all three of our fish traps as well as earlier when we were netting
around. So what we're gonna do right now is we're gonna bring all the fish all the axolotls and all
the turtles back to my house and put them into their new homes and if you guys want to see me
come back and do a part two at this crazy abandoned pond go down there and leave a like and leave a
comment but for now we'll see you guys back at my house. When we got home we started putting
everything into their new homes including the pac-man catfish which went into the fish room.
The blue crawfish and the albino turtle went into the crawfish tank. All of the axolotls got their
very own aquarium and the mata mata turtle went into the turtle pond and we also put the pippa
pippa frogs in there and the rest of the fish we added to my other backyard ponds and fish tanks.

will see you guys in the next one. Peace out.
