Oh my god, Brandon. What? What the heck is that?
Look at this thing. Look at like the stuff on his head like his gills. They're so cool. There is everyone
What's up DFB nation welcome back to another awesome video guys today
We're gonna be heading out to the florida everglades in search for something
I've never caught before and that I just recently found out you can catch here in the wild here in south florida
Now in one of my previous videos
I met a subscriber and he showed me something that he caught in the florida everglades and it blew my mind
It was in one of my videos. You guys might remember it. We were driving down looking for the coin. We met a subscriber
Hey louise, how are you guys? Show him what you caught?
Oh my god, right
It's pretty close where you
Where you caught an axolotl you caught an axolotl in the wild. I've never heard that before. Yeah, that's
Something oh that big. Yeah, oh my gosh where you caught the
Fire eel. Oh, yeah the fire. Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about. Yeah
So this one is it?
with the
With that man, basically, he said he caught an axolotl in the everglades and I was freaking out
I was like, dude, there's no way he caught an axolotl like this is groundbreaking
I've never seen anyone catch one before so we got some giant nets
We're gonna be going to the florida everglades and see if we can catch an axolotl to bring back here
I've never had an axolotl as a pet. A lot of you guys have wanted me to get one recently
So I figured hey might as well try my luck and try to get one in the wild
So yeah
So we're gonna head inside right now because we want to be prepared in case we do get one
I'm gonna set up a tank for it. But yeah guys, we're at the koi pond right now
Check it out a little little quick update. There's bruce right there. There's goldie the two stars of the show
There's the arowana. The arowana is putting on some size right brandon. Oh, yeah, that thing's huge now
Look how big the bristle nose. Yeah, look how big it's mine. I caught him. The thing's massive
But yeah guys, we just went to the pet store picked up some sand and like a little rock for this axolotl
Let's go set up the tank now and then we're gonna head out there start netting around and see if we can get one
All right, guys, so we got hey, we already got a fish tank in here. This is gonna be the axolotl tank
Oh blue crawfish. There's still blue crawfish in here
Now this used to be the crawfish tank. We had that white one in there the two blue ones now
Unfortunately, I haven't told you guys this yet, but two the two blue ones fought and I guess one killed the other
I just showed up one day and one was dead. I thought one was a male and one was a female
But I guess I was wrong. I guess they were both males and the white one
They started fighting so I just put the white one in the cichlid pond, but we're redoing this whole thing
There's gonna be no crawfish in here. If we catch an axolotl, we're gonna move this blue crawfish somewhere else
We have some surprise right here. Check it out. We got some sand
Oh, we got this little rock thing for the axolotl to go in, you know, like a little cave because these are like big rocks
I'm, just gonna put the sand over the rocks and kind of create like a cool little substance for this axolotl
So i'm gonna do that right now
We're gonna give this tank a little makeover and i'll show you guys the finished product
All right, guys the tank is all set now we just have to wait for it to clear up and everything
I stirred it up because you know new sand and all that but check it out
You'll be able to see a lot better once it clears up, but it looks really cool
We got you know, half rock half sand everywhere. We got his little cave there
We got a bunch of rocks here another little cave. So guys, we're gonna go to everybody's right now net around
He gave us the spot so we know where they're gonna be. We know where he's caught it
We're gonna try and get one and by the time we come back
This should be good to go crisp and clear and then hopefully we have an axolotl to put in there guys
This is gonna be epic. We'll see you out there guys. We're here at the spot now
This is the spot my subscribers said he caught the axolotl at and if you are a big watcher of the channel
You would recognize it
This is where I caught that giant fire eel was in one of these pipes
And that's why he came here in the first place. He saw that video. He recognized the spot
He was like I want to go catch an eel
So he went here he didn't catch an eel, but he caught an axolotl
So i'm gonna show you guys where he caught it. All right guys, we're here. This is where he caught this axolotl
He had a net just like this and he was netting around in here and he caught it
So what we're gonna do today is we're gonna net around in here and it goes on forever
So we're gonna net this whole thing. I'm literally gonna be out here all day until I catch one of these things
I want one so bad. We got our trusty bucket here for all the cool stuff we catch
There's also croaking gouramis here and i've caught a few of those there's some really cool stuff
So let's get to netting see if we can get one
Some little fish just looks like little mosquito fish maybe
I feel good about that. That was a good one. Nothing
I don't know where these things sit
and they're nothing
I don't know how they got here too because i'm pretty sure they're not native
i'm, also pretty sure axolotls are like super rare even where they come from like i'm pretty sure they're endangered no
Gotta be careful of the gators and the snakes. We are in the everglades
This is crazy you guys
I have no information on how they got here why they're here if you know anything about axolotls in the florida everglades. Let me know
I don't know. I'll try everything i'll try the bottom
What was that I do not know that was something though, right? I don't know what that was that scared me though
I just want my axolotl
All right, look how pretty that is. Is that a wormmouth? I think so
That's the biggest fish we've caught today we're microfishing today boys look at that we're gonna toss him back
Oh, that's so deep. Oh
Oh, that was a good scoop. Oh, I can tell that was a good one
Dude what is this stuff really deep right there bro hit me with a stick bro. Am I hitting you? Yeah
Oh
Oh my god, brandon, what what the heck is that?
What
Dude, that thing's pink
That's actually the coolest thing I think i've ever caught. Oh my god. Brandon. Look at that. You see the colors dude. What?
Oh my gosh
Is he like like breeding or something that mixes that color?
I've caught one that's like really orange before but never like
This one looks like it's a mixture of like a white one and an orange one
Look how cool that is. Oh my gosh
Okay. Well, it's not an axolotl, but it's a really cool crawfish
Comment what kind of crawfish that is i'm really bad with crawfish. I've caught blue ones before white ones orange ones
Gray white blue. Yeah, and I I don't understand what makes them this color
I don't understand if it's the same species or like
Something really special. I don't know. Let's go get the bucket
Do it again. Oh
This thing is so cool
All right going in the bucket. We should do laps. We're definitely taking that thing home. We're keeping that for sure
It's like a peach color. See that we should call him peachy. This is princess peach
I think it's a female too. Leave a comment saying princess peach in the comments guys
Should we do a couple let's see if there's anything over here. Yeah
I don't give up very often, but we've been out here for like how long like an hour
And we have caught literally nothing except that crawfish
Dude guys bobby's freaking crying because he didn't catch one yet
I'm, not you literally you literally set up a tank and you didn't catch them. I'm not crying
I'm done. Like i'm actually done. It's been like two hours in this heat. We have no water. It's
Dude that was my fish water my good way
We got literally nothing. We caught like a bluegill and a crawfish even though the crawfish is cool
Like I want it in axolotl. So i'm probably still gonna post this video because that crawfish is really cool
I don't know. We might do something else. What is this? Oh marsh trail
Oh, look marsh trail
Hell yeah
Marsh trail sounds axolotl right?
Oh my god brandon, oh my god the danish ham did you see that?
This is so sick, we're in like a swamp right now and there's this little creek
Oh, it is a little creek dude. Look how sick this is. Oh, yeah. Okay. This is it
This is where we're gonna get 100 right the honey hole
Dude, this could be it. You think this is it?
I think so. Brandon, there's a giant fish back there
It's like a big gar or a snakehead. What is that?
Oh my god, what was that?
I see minnows more minnows. I feel like if I met up like under all that stuff I could possibly get something
This is like right down the street from where it is. So
They probably connect there's definitely fish in there
Go jump over there
Should I net? Yeah, look there's like a little ledge there. Oh, yeah
That's the same clamp from last time dude, there's nothing how am I not catching anything in here?
Is there any life
There's gotta be something under here, right
Oh, dude, what?
Brandon, Brandon, look
Look, look, I don't see anything
Holy crap. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Get in the net get in the net
Dude we got one. Oh my god
Look at this thing
Holy crap. Holy crap. Oh my gosh, we did it. I can't believe it. There's actually axolotls in here
Oh my god
It's like a big salamander i've never seen one before it's green. Oh, oh my god, I love him. I love him so much
This is so cool
Dude, look how sick that thing is
I am so happy right now. Oh, he's so cute. Wait, can they breathe air too?
No idea are they yet to be in the water? I don't know anything about him. Oh, he's so cute
Look how cute he is
Guys, can you tell i'm happy right now?
Happy birthday
Oh my gosh
Guys, get a look at that. I think this one's a lot bigger than the one he caught
He said the one he caught is like this big. This guy's a lot bigger
Oh my god
Hey, baby
Oh, he's oh
Is he gulping air?
I don't know guys comment stuff about axolotls. I know nothing about him
Look at like the stuff on his head like his gills. They're so cool. It's like a half fish half lizard right there
Okay, well we found a spot dude there's got to be more they got to be loaded in this place
Let's get him in the bucket and we'll keep looking for more
Now I saw him because he's like a little blue. You see that? Yeah, I see that like he's a he's glossy
So I was moving through the creek and I was stirring up the uh, the water a little bit
And I saw this little blue thing
Like it shined almost
I don't know how to describe it. It's like really shiny
Oh my god, dude. I love him. It's like the coolest thing. Oh swimming. He's swimming
Guys
I don't know what to say right now. I got me on axolotl dude
I'm like beaming with excitement right now guys already right now comment a name. We're keeping this guy
He's our new pet comment a name for an axolotl. You're just walking the snake infested canal
I don't care bro. I know there's snakes in here, bro. I know there is too. I I literally grew it's worth it, bro
Axolotls just look for like a glossy blue thing, you know, oh, yeah, because like their skin shines
They don't have scales. They have like skin
I swear if I see a python
Come here axolotl
I feel like randomly I feel like netting around randomly doesn't work because I saw that one
I think you gotta spot him first
Oh, there's a jaguar
What? Yeah jaguar. I just saw him. He went back there. I don't have a rod though
Guys, we already covered the whole creek. It's like very tiny like it goes from there
It's like there there's no space. I feel like there
I feel like they're tucked up on the ledges, but i'm kind of scared of snakes right now
And I already know there's gonna be a snake on early
I'm, not sticking my hand under any ledges. Do they come out at like night?
Maybe we come back at night with like a spotlight and look for them, but mission accomplished
That's all that matters today. We actually freaking got one. They are real. They do exist here in the everglades
Oh my gosh, I don't know what to say
This is just the coolest thing ever and we came across this little tiny creek
And it paid off we actually oh my god, he's crazy
I didn't know they were that feisty. I thought they were like mellow look
Let's get one more shot of you buddy. Come on. We gotta show the bfp nation
Dude, that's so sick. That's like a big salamander. They're like salamanders
I've never seen one before
So cool
Oh, what do we name him brandon? We'll be back for sure
We're gonna come back and try to get more axolotls, but we're good with one today
We're gonna head to my house now 10 000 likes and we're gonna come back
maybe at night with a spotlight and we're gonna try and like
Really load up on them like catch like 50 of them or something
I don't know how many there is in here and we're gonna acclimate this guy to his new tank
We got one. We have an axolotl. I'm so happy. We'll see you guys back at my house, dude
these freaking animals are so I don't even is this a fish or
Reptile amphibian. I don't even know. Oh, he's so weird looking
Oh
Oh, he's buddies with the crawfish
All right, we're home
Please be alive. There he is
He's alive. Oh, thank god guys. We're gonna throw this guy and the blue one into the silica plant
I guess that's where we're putting all the cool crawfish now. Wait, he's actually going nuts
I didn't realize they were that quick though. I thought they were like slow. Oh
Easy, dude
Dude he's going he's going freaking crazy right now
Crazy, here we go. You guys should I get the blue one out first? Yeah
Oh my god, don't pitch me oh
There's our blue one who's been fighting with the others
There is everyone. All right, we're gonna acclimate this axolotl because this water is a lot colder
We're gonna acclimate them here. The tank is still a little cloudy because you know, we got a lot of new sand
It's got to get filtered, but it should clear up soon before we put the axolotl into the tank
We're gonna get both these crawfish into the cichlid pond
Here we go
Look how pretty dude this one's like super red. Wow. I love colorful crawfish like this. They are so pretty
There he goes, let's hope the big freaking oh, oh, oh, oh he made it he's in the rocks
There goes the blue one, let's see if he can make it
Oh quick get in the rocks dude, oh
go
Dude, he's so so go. Oh, he's fighting him off with his one claw. There he goes. He's in the rocks
That's the scary part is getting them down there. Once they're down there. They're chilling. They're in the rocks. They can hide
Let's go acclimate this axolotl to the tank. So cool guys. Once again coming to name form right now
I'm so excited. Oh my gosh. Ready? Here we go. Get close
There's our axolotl
Going into the tank
Three, where's it gonna go two?
One I say left there he goes
Oh my god, oh my god straight into his hut
No way. No left
Dude, he's so cool. It looks so cool. Oh my gosh. Oh, what did you just do?
He just like did something
Oh, you did it again, okay guys
I have decided to film the rest of the axolotl video the next day just because the tank is a lot more clear now
And you can actually see him. So he's been in here for a full day now, and he is looking really good
It looks like he started digging like right here because that was not like that before. It looks like he's digging
Oh my gosh, maybe dude, maybe it's pregnant. Maybe it's like laying eggs
I don't know if you guys know anything about axolotls and why?
They dug this let me know I don't know if that means something but yeah
I fed it a little piece of tilapia earlier and it did eat so it's already eating. Mr
Axolotl is doing okay. There he is, dude. They're so cool. I love oh, he's digging back there, too
Leave a comment right now for our new axolotl. But yeah, we finally got one
If you guys have any suggestions on what I should add to it, let me know
But yeah, so that was absolutely insane
You know that doesn't happen too often here where we have a plan we try to go out and catch a specific thing
and we actually get it done like I had to set up that tank this morning because I was like
You know what?
I think today is the day we try to catch an axolotl go down there like this video guys
Like I said 10 000 likes and we'll go back at night with a spotlight and try to catch more
Also comment a name for our axolotl i'm gonna be picking a name and giving you guys a shout out in my next video
