Stocking My BACKYARD POND With Tons of EXOTIC FISH!

Oh god, oh my gosh I love that fish so much Look at the babies coming up. She had like 40 babies. Can you believe we caught that in a walmart ditch? Look at that. Look at all those colors, dude What's up dfb nation welcome back to another awesome video guys as you can tell it's a little different today We're in my room. We're here at the 125 gallon cichlid tank Now I asked you guys in a community post like a week ago If I should take all the cichlids out from here put them into the new pond and it was like a 90 to 10 Like yes do that I've had this tank in here for maybe like five years as an african cichlid tank and it's to the point where like I don't know. I have the big pond now. I feel like I should just have all my eggs in one basket I'm, just gonna put all the cichlids in one pond so I could do something differently in here You know, I want to switch it up. I really want to do something, you know completely different So today what we're going to be doing is we're going to be draining this whole entire tank This was my big collection before I got the pond a lot of this stuff I caught in the wild like oh and also these little guys these were babies that I hatched From that orange mama right there who also has babies in her mouth right now We got so much going on in this tank that mama right there. She has babies in her mouth So today we're going to be getting everyone out We're going to be seeing everyone and then we're going to be getting their babies out as well We got that giant jack dempsey. Let's see if I can if I can get him out. Oh, it's tumbling over There he is he loves his cage so much. Come on. Oh my god. He's like way back there Okay Well, you guys will see him eventually because we're getting them out today A lot of you might be worried about putting a jack dempsey in the pond like oh my god He's gonna eat the fish, but no he's been in the cichlid tank He's not eating anyone, especially these little convict cichlids that we caught. I mean, they're so tiny and he has not eaten them at all so Uh, everyone should be good. We're gonna start by siphoning some water We're gonna be we're gonna start by siphoning water out of the tank We're gonna get this stuff drained now a big reason i'm doing this right now is because of this stupid orange mama She has had babies in her mouth for months now And I have not been able to catch her out and I knew I would have to you know Take all the rocks out completely get everything out to catch her. Oh, there's the little frontosa I mean, there's so many fish in here that they're just in the rocks and they come out and it's like oh my god They're in the tank too. Here we go. We're gonna we're gonna start siphoning the water out This is like it's kind of sad like I hate to see the All the fish in here go like I love sitting here watching them But it's gonna be really cool to see them in the big pond like go out there and see all my fish like I know These fish so well, they all have their personalities and now i'm gonna be able to see them in the big pond They're gonna be super happy. And uh, yeah, I also get to switch this up do something differently spice it up for you guys All right, this is happening. I guess I can start netting fish out Here we go Oh, there's that little bumblebee man, he's gotten big we caught that one actually That bumblebee right there. Oh Come on double net. I should start taking these rocks out. I might do that actually Yeah, I got one I got one this is I honestly don't even know I don't even know But that's a little african cichlid there I'm gonna start taking these rocks out and we're gonna I guess i'm gonna place them here I'm gonna clean them as well. Check it out. You can really see just how many fish there are in here Uh, the big jack dempsey. I took his little cane down. There he is right there I'm gonna need a bigger freaking net areas Oh my gosh, look at the colors on him, dude. I love that fish. Let's start. Let's start trying to catch these fish out There's like no rocks over here. It should be oh my god. Don't go crazy Got it There's a hole in my net No I got him. Got him. Yes. Look at that frontosa. He's gonna be doing so good in the pond. Wow, look at the blue on him He's gonna do a lot better in the pond. He's gonna have a bigger area. He's gonna get nice and big there All right. I got a different net. This one doesn't have a hole Big old bumblebee got him There you go. Nice and slow. That's how you do it. Oh my god. It's massive Whoa, how did it get this big? How did it get that big dude I the last time I emptied it out and I had him in my hand. He was probably like that big That thing is probably like four Four inches right there. Oh, this one has babies. This one's got babies. Wait, that's a baby who has babies That's the blue one's baby. Now. She has babies. That's crazy Catch the check to see what this little net Oh god, no, no way Oh my god it I got him. I got him. I got him. I got him Calm down. Look how pretty that fish is All right, we'll see him We'll see his colors a lot better and the light once we put him into the pond guys I got a freaking giant net this thing. This thing is bigger than the whole tank So I should be able to catch something now, right? I'm, so bad at catching fish out of tanks, but i'm so bad at it Look at everyone. Everyone's just piled up here. I can catch like 20 fish right here one scoop 20 fish One scoop 20 fish. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh God, I got so many. Yes it worked Oh so pretty. Oh my gosh. I love that fish so much He's gonna look so sick in the pond. See i'm really happy I'm giving this fish a bigger home too. Like they're gonna love the pond. Look at that big old mabuna we caught Dude, I just love these fish. Here we go. That's that's actually a baby that we raised Here we go a little female Convict cichlid. All right. That was all in one scoop guys. This is this is the strap. We found the strap Oh my god, give me come here orange orange mama orange mama Orange mama, she got babies. Give me your babies Come take your kids. Yes I finally got her. Okay. I don't want to be rough with her because she will I don't want her to drop her babies. Where'd that bucket go? Okay in the bucket right there. Hold on. Hold on. Let me get some water Check this out guys ready Look at this. Are you guys ready for this? Watch this look at all those babies in there look at them go Look at the babies Look at the babies coming up Look at that. She's got so many i've been trying to get these out for months, dude Oh my god, they're so freaking many oh They're so many I still feel them. She's got so much more in there. Look at them. Oh my god. This is the most she's ever had This is a record dude. She's not being hurt at all right now. I'm just getting the water in in the mouth and that's Getting the babies out. There's a couple more in there She's used to this. Oh my gosh, she's got like 10 more in there. Wait, there's a black one Wait, those are like different colored Yo, you see that? That's crazy dude, this is so cool guys if you don't know african cichlids are mouth brooders and that means they carry the eggs There's still a couple more in there They carry the eggs in their mouths And then once they become babies, they let them go. But since she's in the tank, she's a smart mama She knows they'll get eaten by the other cichlids in there So she just holds on to them until I catch her out. But sometimes she gives me a hard time All right, we got all the babies out You can see it right there. We're gonna get her in the cooler There she goes good mama dude, look how cool that is Look at all those babies. Yeah guys count how many babies you see and comment it in the comments We're gonna hold on to these guys and then we're gonna we're gonna put them into the pond later on with the adults They'll have plenty of rocks to hide and to get big. That's actually what I do in the koi pond All right, as you can see we got all the rocks out. The tank is freaking dirty as heck all the the years that I haven't been able, you know, I would clean the tank a lot but Back in the rocks, you know dirt would get back there all that stuff. It's all coming out now We should be able to catch a good amount here. There's nowhere for them to hide Oh, look at that. We're gonna get the texas cichlid right here texas cichlid One of my probably my second favorite fish in here. Oh my gosh, he got out Okay, we got one. Oh, he got out I got the texas.
