In today's video, I give an update on my new nano tank filled with tiny aquarium fish and I go out and net baby freshwater pufferfish for my aquarium, and catch tons of exotic fish in a fish trap! We also feed crawfish to our predatory fish, and show underwater footage of our cichlid pond!

Oh, yeah, oh dude, it's so tiny dude, that's a puffer fish you guys for reference guys, that's my pinky nail next to him
Oh my god
Look at the colors on this thing. Pretty stool sick. I've ever seen
What's up BFB nation, welcome back to another awesome video guys today
We're gonna be catching more fish for my new nano tank. So guys a little recap of what we have in here
We have two of these baby orange crawfish
We have one bumblebee goby, which is actually right there and we also caught another really pretty fish for this last time
But I moved him into the outdoor pond because he was a little too big for here
And we also had a banjo catfish in here
But the thing is guys a little story about the banjo catfish
I woke up one morning and the banjo catfish was dead. But here's the thing
There was also eggs all over the aquarium
So I think the banjo catfish had eggs like laid eggs and then died
I don't know if that's normal, but that's what happened. And then the crawfish ate all the eggs, of course
But guys there's a situation going on in the nano tank and we're gonna try and take care of it today
Basically, there is a crap ton of snails now
I put two snails in here in that one video and you guys flooded the comments do not do that
There's gonna be millions of snails in a couple weeks. Well, you guys were right
There are snails everywhere snail there snail up there two snails up there baby snails all over the bottom
And I don't know what to do guys. So I looked it up. And what do you know pufferfish Dakota?
Pufferfish, that's our solution. Yes pufferfish is the solution to get rid of the snails
All we got to do is put some pufferfish in here and boom they'll eat all the snails in like a day
So I thought today why not go to the little creek where we've caught pufferfish before and try our luck
See if we can get a little pufferfish for our nano tank
We're gonna get a little net probably place a little fish trap there and try our best to get a pufferfish before we do that
Guys, I'm gonna give you a little update on our cichlid pond outside. It looks really good right now
The water is crystal clear. So let's head out there and feed the cichlids. All right, guys, here we go
We're gonna feed the fish. There we go, dude. It is crystal clear. Oh my gosh. Look at the Texas
Look, look how bright that blue is. That is so sick. All the cichlids are doing so good. Everyone's getting really big
I love this pond. It's like my favorite pond. Look at them. They're going crazy
Alright guys, so now the cichlids are fed a little update for you guys
I'm at cuz you guys have been asking let's head down to the little tiny creek where we always find these little pufferfish and
See if we can catch one. Alright guys, we made it to the spot. Here we go. This is a little tiny creek here
There's tons of pufferfish and other cool stuff like albino play goes African cichlids all that cool stuff
We're gonna walk down. We got our supplies here. We got a fish trap little bucket and some net
So let's head down here and start netting around. We're gonna check our infamous pipe traps ready
We got one there one there. I guess the other ones got stolen. So thanks a lot guys. Thanks for stealing my traps
Here we go. Oh
It's a mine guys. Nothing crazy. Oh, we spine me. Look at that. Oh, look at your hand. Yeah, I know
It's my hand. What do you think to this one Dakota place your bets? I'll buy no crawfish
Really? No, I'm just kidding. Give me something good
Come on, dude. I'll buy no crawfish
Yes
Looks like it's gonna be a fish trap kind of day guys. Let's place the trap first
We gotta bait it up though. So we're gonna put a little piece of bread in there. This is actually Dakota's trap
It's a mini fish trap. Look how small it is. So hey, we're going for tiny fish for our micro aquarium
I thought why not use a small fish trap. Here we go. Ready one piece. That's all you need, dude
How about you decide where we place it today put it over there?
under the duckweed
Right there good, that's good. All right trap is placed now. We gotta have some fun. All right
We got some nets. We're gonna walk down this little creek and try to catch some puffer fish
I guess Brandon actually caught like a million baby puffer fish in that tunnel. They were like micro puffers. So that would be cool
Here we go Dakota. You ready? Let's start exploring
Yo, I think we should put this now on my micro aquarium. Yeah, so you eat your crawfish. Yes
So the whole thing is they're really small. So you got to look closely
So Dakota keep your eyes out and usually you'll see them just like floating around on top
Once you move all the weeds away from them. Oh
Look at that scrimp right there, dude
Crawfish pinch Dakota get them sink them. I'm gonna stick my crawfish on you bro. This is an attack crawfish. That's a good start
We're gonna get him in the bucket
There you go, buddy
It's starting to rain. Not good. We should go inside the tunnel. That's a good wait. That's a good idea
Let's go in the tunnel while it's raining. Well, we'll seek shelter in there and we'll look for fish along the way
Yes, two crawfish look at that guy's second crawfish of the day, what was that big fish bro, all right
Let's go find whatever that big fish
Let me let me find him wait
Guys we see a pufferfish
Yes, I saw him
Well, we know they're in here we just saw one it was right up in there guys look look at all those fish
It was right next to all those little fish. All right guys, I'm gonna switch to the bigger net guys
Dakota just saw a little pufferfish. How big was it? It was like the size of like your fingernail
That's small
Okay, guys, we're going after something that small. We're gonna see if we can get some guys. All right guys
We're out of the tunnel stopped raining again. So we're back out here
I like this spot a little bit better because you can see more and we're not freaking hunched over the entire time
So what we need to do now is just go slow and just start looking really carefully
Just tell me if you see anything. Okay, maybe I should just net the whole thing, right?
You can get a lot of grass but go for it Oh
What dude do not do not move do not move
Zoom in right. Do you see him? No, I don't know. It's so tiny right there right where my finger is. He's not
Oh, I see him. I see
That's a pufferfish, oh my god, okay ready I'm gonna get him I'm gonna go slow I'm gonna go slow
I don't want to spook him ready
Come on, buddy. Oh
You look at him, I got that really good on camera really look at how cute he is dude, it's so tiny
Dude, that's a puffer fish you guys. Okay, that's like the size of my pinky nail
Look at how small but for reference guys, that's my pinky nail next to him. That is so sick
Okay, let's get him in the bucket. It's so cute. I don't even know what kind of hover that is
It looks like a fahaka puffer like real the really expensive ones, but like a baby
He's got water now, I brought this little container so we're able to inspect everything we catch don't want to touch him a lot
There he goes. Look at him. Oh
my god
Dude, it's so cute. Look at that. You guys this tiniest puffer fish you can ever imagine. We just caught him
This is perfect. There's a perfect my tank
I was expecting to catch like the figure eight ones like the bigger ones
But this is perfect dude for the micro aquarium, look at how tiny he is
We're gonna see if we can get any more
But honestly if we don't I'm fine because one will probably do the job
He'll probably eat all the snails in that little tank
We're gonna keep looking around see if we can get any more
But yeah guys, this is what we came for and we got him. They're sitting on top of this grass
So I'm just gonna like scoop the whole thing, you know, like this. Oh
I caught a lot of fish. Look at all those little fish
No, it's not a cover
I don't want to miss any but it's really hard to make sure there's so much going on in this net
What the heck is this Dakota next to it bro right here
What it's movie it's crawling
That ain't no puffer fish
No way you didn't get anything wrong I got something I mean I could see him moving around in there
Oh my things a monster, but we should feed him with Bruce Bruce loves the shrimp
This one's tinier, oh, there's two
There's two look one two to cover fish two more baby. Yeah
Oh my gosh, that is so cool. They're so tiny like they're so small
I don't even want to like touch them because I don't want to hurt them. That's how tiny they are. Yeah
Look at that. Come on guys. Oh my gosh, there's so many
Do that puffer fish is fat that's a fatty right there
We got so much stuff in there two more buffers. All right guys
We're up to three puffer fish right now, like I said, I don't know what kind of puffer fish these are
So if you could let me know in the comments, that would be very helpful
But we also have a little tadpole tagging along with us now. They're so tiny so cute. This guy doesn't have a yellow tail
See, these are yellow. This one's not yellow. That's so weird
Maybe there are different species now gets a lot deeper down there
So we don't have much more Creek to you know, roam around and find puffers in so right now
We're at three and three is, you know, totally fine
That's like plenty for that nano tank, but I can't get enough of catching these little puffer fish
So we're gonna keep going see we can get some more. Oh
That hurts
I think I see a puffer fish. Oh, no, it's a crawfish. Look little baby
Really oh my god, he has no claws, bro. Wait. No, wait. No, he doesn't little baby. Oh, well now he's gone
He's gone. Yeah, he's gone. No, he had no claws. I saw those were his little arms. Oh
my god
No, I have a bunch of tadpoles in that weird bug thing
Got lots of little tadpoles in there and then this weird alien dude, you should eat them Dakota. Let's be honest
You should even wait those things can bite you
Well to make sure Dakota's gonna get bit by it to see if it actually does bite. So give me your arm
They're really bad bro, they're like they like I forgot what they're called get away from us
Dude, yeah, I get them. Those are puffers
I don't think I got him bro. You saw how quick he was. I didn't see him. No, dude. It was like lightning quick
He was on the bottom
No, all right guys now we have this orange bucket to put all the fish
We catch in the fish trap because I don't want to mess it with the puffer fish. Let's go Dakota. I see it right there

That is crazy, dude, oh, he's already lightening up in the bucket
That is so cool. What an insane day. We caught three little puffer fish. They're in the other bucket right now
We're gonna head back to my house put those guys in the micro tank feed these guys to the fish
But uh, yeah, we got where we're coming for. Let's head home
Oh
All right guys now we got the really pretty jewel stick with right here
There he is. We're gonna put him into the signal pond cuz he deserves it bro
Just an absolutely gorgeous cycling. He's light colored now because he was in the bucket, but
He's gonna get that natural color back to him. That is so cool. Ready? Here we go
Frickin prettiest jewel signal that I have ever seen
Into the pond. There you go. We're gonna go ahead and put these puffer fish into the tank
I got one. Look at that

It looks like there's three family reunion. Here we go. Ready? Look at this
Yeah, oh guy, it doesn't even look like a puffer fish
Like if you weren't looking for him, you would think that's like a mosquito fish third and final. There he goes. Yeah, that one's micro
He looks a lot different than the others, right?
Oh the squad dude, look at the squad. Oh the orange crawfish is coming out
He's coming out to check on him all the orange crawfish. He's coming out to check on what's going on
They should be chilling because the bumblebee goby is in here and they're fine with him
So they should be fine with the puffers. Oh all three of them. Look at that three buffer fish, baby
Different species or he's just
Oh, no, you dare don't do it do it don't do it don't you even think about it?

Look, he's squaring up with him the puffers squaring up with him. Just look see the bumblebee goby in the grass right there
They're the same
He's the same size as the puffer fish, but they don't mess with him
Look that there's two
He's really
What's gonna happen
Don't it. Oh get away from him to me. All right guys. I think that was just a fluke
