In today's video, I revisit the ABANDONED POND to catch out more rare aquarium fish and SAVE THEM before the pond is filled in! This time we placed traps and netted in a different pond FILLED with fish! We ended up netting a bunch of colorful cichlids and caught albino oscars, African cichlids, green terrors, albino pacu, AND MORE in our diy fish traps which we brought back to my backyard pond to keep as my new pets! Should we do a part 3 at the abandoned pond?

All right, this is perfect guys look at all the fish rob get them. Oh, that's so cool
Oh no, look at that
Wow, oh look at all the fish jumping around there's a lot of fish in here. Oh my god. What is that?
What is up vfb nation welcome back to another awesome video guys today
We're here at the abandoned pond trapping collecting more fish out of here and bringing them back to my house
Recently we found this spot and it's crazy
It's this giant property where this guy used to live and he has a total of four ponds here
He used to load them with fish, you know koi cichlids all that stuff just endless amounts
We did a video here about a week ago and we caught some really cool fish
We caught a big paku silver dollars african cichlids big gourami and yeah, lots more. We weren't here at this pond
So this is a completely new pond to me, but my friend kaden has caught some insane stuff here
Lots of cichlids and yeah, it seems this pond is the most loaded
So we're here today with a giant trap a cast net and a dip net and we're gonna see what all we can get out
of here now these fish everyone that we catch we're gonna be saving today because they will fill in this whole entire pond soon and
Get rid of everything all the fish will die. So it works both ways
We're catching and keeping really cool fish and we're also saving them
So we're gonna bait this trap up place it in this pond. Look how cool this pond is
It's not too big, but it's just loaded with these lily pads. You can go around the bank and just see fish everywhere
There's lots of fish now. This guy did take most of the fish out
The thing is, you know, it's such a big pond that he left a lot of stuff and they're still breeding
So there's lots to catch so we're gonna bait this bad boy up with some bread
And get her in the water
We're gonna we're gonna load this thing up because we're planning on catching a lot of fish guys
I want to catch as many out as possible. So let's put the lid on there's a big log
That's broken down there fish like structure and that's really the only structure in here. This looks like the perfect spot
I'm gonna take my shoes off and i'm gonna get in there and place this trap guys cool thing about this spot
Every pond is different. It has different fish and we haven't been to this one yet
I haven't even looked at it. So this is completely new we could catch anything here
I'm gonna place it. Oh
Wow
Okay. Well i'm gonna place it here and face the hole out to the middle just so all the fish can smell it
It's right there. It ain't going nowhere. That's perfect. So the trap is baited
Now we're gonna get that cast net whip out the cast in a few times
Try to cover the whole pond because it's not that big and we're gonna see what we can get with the cast net
There's a shell look at this
Look how cool that is
Oh, that was pretty good rob. All right guys now to put in perspective what could be in here
Our friend literally caught a flower horn. All right, I chummed up that area
Oh, yeah, pretty good. Come on
Come on
Let's see
Oh, what is that? What is that? Oh
Oh, it's a worm mouth that's a native species, but it's really pretty look at the purple on that thing
It's not what we want. Nothing cool yet. We throw in the cast net like four times haven't caught really anything too cool
So we're gonna move down throw it at a different spot. So hopefully we catch something over there
Oh, that was perfect drop. Come on. Give us something good. Well, you felt a good kick. Oh you feel something
Oh, I do see something here. Pull it up right here under that big lily pad. I'm pretty stressed
Oh, oh, it's a bluegill dang it look at that
Colorful little worm out there. We're gonna throw him back though. Oh, dude. What? Oh, no. Oh, he's stuck
Oh, no, that's an african. Hey, buddy. Oh squeeze surgery right there. Yes
Okay, beautiful little sick first cool fish of the day. That's a pretty blue african cichlid. That's gorgeous
Wow, look at the colors on that one. Okay, i'm gonna fill up the bucket here
There we go. We got some water and we're gonna put our first fish in here a little african cichlid. That's cool
That is cool guys
But let me tell you there's much cooler stuff in here from what we've known so
Wind up the cast net again and give it some more throws
We should get the dip net here in a little bit and net all these little fish because there's definitely some cool stuff mixed in
Like look, look at all these little guys
There's got to be some cool stuff sick. Um
Oh money. Oh, you caught a tree. That is cool
Caught a couple fish. Oh nice. Yeah, there we go. Some more fish. Those are normal little tilapia
Under the fish you caught some sticks too. That's a good sign. What is that? Hold on
Ah stupid tilapia, I thought it was something cool. We'll throw these guys back. Yeah, there's a shrimp
Oh, I caught a shrimp
Look at this. Look
Big old script. We're gonna throw him back. That's cool. Oh
Dude, what is that? I don't know you just holy crap. What is that? It kind of looks like a happy eastern happy
Here we gotta wash them off i've caught something pretty interesting. Oh, wow, that's cool. Okay, that's really cool rob. Oh, that is so cool
Oh, that is nice. Oh, no, he's trying to escape guys
Now you're probably wondering why we're not saving the tilapia and all that all the invasive stuff
That's because we legally can't the worm house. I just realized we could save though because they're native
So we'll start keeping the worm house and relocate them. We're catching good stuff. Let's keep doing the net
Let's do like two more throws and then i'll get out the handheld net and start netting all these little guys
Yeah, go back in that spot. That was producing
Uh, we're horn wow, we're horn not seeing much
Oh some more warm mouth, I think there's more than a warm mouth in there. I see more. Holy crap. What is that?
Rob what is that? Oh look at all the baby warm house. We just caught but look at this
It looks like eastern happy almost
Oh, no, that's not. Oh rob
Rob, what is this? Rob is killing it with the cast out right now. We just caught
This cichlid he's cool. We're definitely keeping him because I love me some cichlids
It looks like he's some sort of african cichlid. Let's get him in a bucket comment down below
What kind of cichlid that is you guys? He's really cool. There he goes. Okay, we have three keeper cichlids. Hey
Shut up. Look at all of them. Look at that croquet
Oh, I caught something oh lots of fish actually. Oh, yeah, lots of mosquito fish there
Look at that
More i'm gonna start scooping the lily pads because that's definitely where the cool stuff's hiding sneak attack
Oh, no
My keys. Oh, no. No, I didn't get anything wasn't even worth it. Wait. Hello. Oh, what is that? Holy crap
Why did I just throw the net in the water
I'm so excited
Dude, oh my god, rob. That's gorgeous. Are those colors coming out on camera? Look at that. Oh
Wow, that's my favorite one so far. Oh my gosh
Let's get them in the bucket. Look at that. Look at the blue stripes. Oh, dude
This is the cichlid honey hole right now. All right. Oh, what was that? Who's that rob white?
Albino here get the cast net get him. Come on. Get him. Get him
Oh, that was so perfect
It was right on him. Okay guys, I don't know if you saw it on camera
But there was a big white fish albino dude straight albino. Come on rob. Come on. You got him, dude
That was actually like the best cast net that was right on him. Yes
Oh my god, holy crap
And albino
That was so cool because we actually saw him come to the top try to eat those little mosquito fish or something
And you cast it right on him. That was so perfect. Oh, yes. Oh, that's so cool
Wash them off
Beautiful dude for the oscar army that works out perfectly guys
If you didn't see my last video we set up our new predatory pond and now we have a new oscar pond
So go check out the video. This guy is gonna fit in perfectly with them. Let's get him in the bucket
Oh, yeah, look at him. Oh, that's so cool. Okay
We did say we weren't gonna cast it anymore, but we couldn't help ourselves
We saw him out there and we just had to throw it
So let's keep scooping around with the net and then soon we're gonna pull out that fish trap
Look how good it looks over there. You know what rob?
Let's take a sneak peek at the trap see big fish in the right next to the hole
Oh, look at that one. Oh, there's so many in the trap rob
There's so many fish. Look at all the fish rob. Oh, yeah, there's bigger ones, too
Oh, look at the big one down there bottom right now. That is really good. That's a good sign
We know we're gonna catch fish in the trap now. Where's my little net? We gotta keep scooping
Come here
Oh, we got so many oh, what is that? Look at the striped fish right here
What is that? That's uh, least killie fish. Oh
He's gonna throw these guys back. Oh my god school african cichlids. Oh, yeah
Oh, I think I got one that was a massive school i'm just gonna dump them please
Yes, look at that
Look at that. Oh, we got another one. There's two. Oh, no, that's a molly dude
beautiful
Look at the stripes on this one
That's a lot different than those than those other blue ones we catch awesome new additions to the cichlid pond for sure today
But i'm looking to get something else. Okay. I'm looking to get something that we don't even know what it is like something crazy
You know
Another one another albino
I still see him. He's sitting there guys. We see a big albino fish. It looks just like that oscar's brother
He's going down. Oh, no, he's going down. Oh my god
Not horrible
I was like a couple feet away from him
No
Okay, rob next time we see something like that you're throwing it. Oh, what? Oh, no, they got daffy
No, kaden must have did that yeah guys kaden decapitated this duck he must have
Yes, let's do it
Oh, oh my god, what is that? What is that look right in here?
What
That's the giga chad mosquito fish wait, what is it definitely not that's a look
Look at it next to the normal one. It looks very very similar. Yeah, it's like it's like teal. Yeah
Okay, that's really cool. We're keeping that for sure the diversity in this pond is so cool
That's why we just got to keep coming back coming back until they fill it in
I think we're gonna go check out the other ponds. There's three more we're gonna see how they're doing
We're gonna see if we can see anything visually. Maybe we'll cast net it
Yeah, guys, I think we're gonna come back to this trap soon
Maybe about an hour and see what we caught so let's go check out the other three abandoned ponds on this property
All right, guys, we're here at the second pond on this property. I really like this one
We've been here before caught a bunch of silver dollars and a big gourami and a few african cichlids
Me and rob are actually here the other night for his video and he caught a giant
Try even tell him. No, no
Yeah, that's right
We know the majority
Dude one of those water bugs bit my freaking foot. Oh, that's so bad. Of course. You were the one to get bit by
Look at the size of that tadpole. He's got little legs on him little chubbers. We're gonna throw him back
Hey, man, don't don't body shame him
He's fat
All right. Now I think honestly let's go back to the corner. We always catch the good stuff
It's just like the most densely weeded place. Yeah, a lot of stuff could hide in here. Oh my god. Look at this
Oh, it's so heavy
I'm gonna dump it right here. That's so heavy. Oh god, that's incredible. What is that?
Is that a fish? It is a fish. Oh my gosh
Oh, what is it? Holy crap
Rob that's sick. This is the albino honey hole. Is there any more? What is that? Holy mother of tadpole?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Look at that. It's his leg
Dang, let's get this guy in the bucket. I have no idea what that is, but it's cool looking so we're keeping it
Loading up on them cichlids today. Now, let's go to the third pond
This is the biggest pond and this is the one we caught the paku and silver dollars at I think we might throw some cast
Because last time we can only throw one because kate and got it stuck. Let's see what we can get there
Look at this. Look what I found electric fence. No
I'm gonna test it. All right, guys, we've made it to the third pond
This one's absolutely loaded with fish as we saw in the first episode here
If we cast down here, we're gonna catch some cool stuff, but it failed we got the cast net stuck
Now we have a new one and we're gonna throw it over here and see what we can pull out of here
Nice
Oh, no
Oh jesus christ, what did I catch you caught something? That's not a fish rob. What is that?
I don't know but it's heavy dude. This is literally all mud. That's all mud
Oh my god, that's all mud. That's so gross
Up gave me the awesome job to go through this. How is this?
How there's no fish. There's no way there's a fish in here
I don't even think dude if there's a fish in here i'm not even gonna be able to see it
This cast that's that's that was a one and done. Look at this
Ew, oh this cast net's ruined. That's it's over
Oh, what is that? What is that? Red hook red hook silver dollar. We actually caught one. Oh
Bro, oh my god
Even better it's a paku albino paku albino paku. Okay, this is insane. Look at that thing. That's an albino
Albino red belly paku. Look at the color from the sun. Wow. Okay, we gotta wash them off. Look at that
Wow
Oh my god, it doesn't get
That's the nicest albino i've ever seen what that means
They gotta be breeding in this pond because this is a small one and they grow super fast
So I doubt this is one that that guy put in here. I had to have been born in here
This is one of the you know a few times where we had to use multiple buckets to you know
See all of our catches in one video. We're just catching so much stuff right now
We had to get a whole new bucket for it. But look at that albino paku. That is insane
That's the coolest thing we just caught right now, dude, there's got to be a red tail or something insane
Okay, if you have any ideas on how we can explore this and get all these fish out because one
Cast net doesn't work. Maybe just a big fish trap with a giant hole because the fish job did work
Well, we caught all the silver dollars in it. So guys, let us know what you think. This pond's loaded
Okay with paku and silver dollars, we know for sure. So guys the sun's going down right now
We're gonna head to the first pond check our fish trap and see what we caught. What an insane day
Let's go check that fish trap. All right, guys. We're here at the first pond where we placed our fish trap
It's sitting right over there sitting pretty it looks really good. So i'm very excited to see what we caught in it
I'm nervous. There's our trap. I see a lot of fish. Oh, yeah, you might even be able to just pull it back and drag it
backwards
I can try rather than just like pull it out. I want to get the hole out of the water
Just so just so the fish
Can't escape. There we go. There we go. Oh, perfect. Oh, yeah. Oh, look at all the fish jumping around
Oh, yeah, I want to get it up by you. Oh the handle came off the handle broke
God, we really need to drill some holes in this. Yeah
Oh my god, there we go
Oh my god, jesus christ. That is heavy. There we go. All right moment of truth guys. Let's fill up the bucket
All right, here we go
Please my water's kind of milky. Oh my god big fish right here rob. Big fish. Oh
All right, let's get this lid off there's a lot of fish in here what is this oh
Looks like some regular degular fish bass
It might be that's a warm ass a lot of mosquito fish. I mean, look at all these little guys. What is that?
Oh, I just felt something
What is this?
What is that?
Massive green terror. Oh my god, rob. That is beautiful. That's the coolest thing ever
We've never caught a green terror that big look how cool that guy is. That's called a green terror. Wow. Look at him
He's fat. Oh, he's so fat. Oh, he was feasting in there, bro. I am so excited. Look at the green
That is so cool. Oh my god. He's like pooping right now as we speak. Oh, that's so cool, dude. That is amazing
Okay, that is a good sign. Oh orange
Orange right here. What is that? Oh my god. What is this? What is that? Holy crap
What is that
Oh my god, rob. Okay. This is insane. What is that? That looks like a vin vin stratus
Venus stratus. I don't know stratus. Maybe I don't need guys some sort of sickly. That's really cool
I haven't i've never seen one that thing. That's that's might be the coolest thing. We've caught like period wow. Oh my god
That's cool, that's like the one we caught earlier in the cast net but the one we caught did not have those colors on them
That's so cool. Comment down below what kind of sicklies these are we're gonna get them in the bucket though
Perfect additions for the cichlid pond. It's like an orange zebra. Got him. Let's see
Oh, wow, was that albino?
Red eyes again. Oh, yeah
Red eyes, that means it's albino. Okay, this is cool
This looks like those orange cichlids will always catch but it seems to be albino that is freaking sick guys
Oh my god, what is that?
Is that like a big tilapia? Oh
No, that is not a tilapia. No, it's not
Oh my god, oh my god, what is that?
Look at the blue specks on that look at the mouth on them. What is that? Do you know?
looks kind of like a
When I first saw it, I thought it was a vieja a very common fish that we caught here
Um that are from like south america, but this one's definitely not a vieja. I mean look at that
I've never seen one with those colors
Oh, wow, look at this. This trap is freaking loaded
This like this is insane
Another one just like that other one. That's his little brother right there. Definitely aggressive
All right, we're gonna get these guys in the bucket. They're really cool
There's a million of these big ones look at that that is so look at the mouth shape on them
They're really cool kind of looks like a grouper. Oh, there's so many
Yeah, very unique mouth shape in the bucket. This is so cool
Look at that. Oh, that's a wow. What do you mean? Is that I don't know could be like a female
Of those colorful ones little war mouths everywhere. These are cool guys. We're gonna save them native species
I think that's all the cool stuff rob
I mean, come on guys go down there and leave it like this spot's insane rest. We can dump out
Later guys, I think the green tear is my favorite fish we caught today
I mean, you can't beat a huge green tear. I've never even seen one
I've never even seen one that big gonna get all these fish back to my house right now
Put them in the ponds and tanks if you guys want to see a part three at this spot
Go down there and show some support like and comment. Yeah, we'll see you guys back at my house
All right, guys, we made it back to my house with our finds
We're here at the predatory pond. Now, like I said last video we gave them a huge upgrade
There's a big red tail. There's ian right there. We got a little iridescent shark. There's the rip saw
All the fish in here are doing great
Now we opened up a whole new pond when we moved these guys and we created the oscar army
Garami right there a lot of oscars are hiding back there in those vines. They love it
So now we're gonna put this really cool cichlid that we caught in the fish trap
I don't know what it is, but it definitely will do great in here
Look at the colors on those on those fins. Just such a cool fish
We're gonna add him to the oscar army
In you go
Oh, that's cool. What a cool fish little baby oscar
We're gonna add him in here and then catch that bass out so he doesn't get eaten. There you go
Where is that thing? All right, we just caught one of the bass out from the predatory pond. Look at them
That's a big old bass. We're gonna keep them guys because you know a pet bass is pretty cool
All right, guys now we're here at the cichlid pond. We're gonna add the cichlids that we caught in here into the pond
Let's get them out
boom
Check them out
They are really cool boom and the big guy that's in the first bucket right there
Those are the ones that we netted and cast netted. All right, so these are the first fish we're going to be adding
Lots of little guys and then that big one. Oh
There they go sweet new additions to the pond look how amazing it looks
These guys are the ones we caught in the fish trap. I mean, look at that. That's pretty cool
And he goes look at this. Like I don't even know what these are. I've never even seen these. Oh, no the warmout
No, look at that one, that's gorgeous
In he goes now guys. We have this really beautiful greens hair cichlid
Oh, but for now, we're gonna get this guy in the pond just so he gets even bigger
What a cool fish look at the orange tail now
I decided this guy is gonna do best here in the oscar pond and he's gonna go rapidly
And then once it gets a little bit bigger, he'll go with the predators
But there he goes insane haul today at the abandoned pond
We caught some insane fish if you guys know the names of any of those cichlids comment them down below
