Buying FIRST FISH for My SALTWATER POND!! 

Thanks for stopping in Paul! Always fun to have you around the shop, looking forward to seeing the “Tester Squad” in future videos! 😂 -Blaine

A community salt water pond would be very interesting because youd get to see their 'natural' behaviors more.❤

Never seen another creator do a saltwater community reef pond. But either way I’m hyped to see what you get.

I'm gonna agree with everyone saying a community reef pond would be beautiful. It would be so colorful and lively. And schooling fish are mesmerizing, even those four little Monos in that big as pond bring so much happiness lol. I don't know a lot about salt but figuring out how to do a mix of fish sizes and types where they can all live happily together and not be too predatory would really make the community pop.

This pond should be schooling fish like a community reef pond. And most people don't add coral to their pond, but I think this one would looks great with some coral spread around

I personally love the idea of getting hundreds of smaller fish. Like actually hundreds of schooling fish.

Community reef pond with schooling tangs is something most of us reefers dream of doing in our small(er) reef tanks, but just can’t due to the size they need. Go for the tangs!

Yeah you should definately make the salt pond a community. The possibilities are endless

I’ve built 5 different saltwater tanks throughout my life so far, my largest is 250 gallons, not even close to the pond but mine is a big reef community and I’d have to say that a community pond would be absolutely gorgeous! Lots of movement, tons of socializing between different species and the colours

Just got to say Paul ..thank you for being an inspiration to so many young and old. Never change brother. ❤

To see Paul’s sincere joy he got when the fish went in is a vibe! Keep doing you Paul! #PC

PLEASE go for the community route with the pond. It would be so perfect!!

When I saw them I imeditalty thought of Eenie, Meene, Miney + Mo!! I have been enjoying these videos and checking for updates for almost four years now, keep up the great work inspiring me and the other Cuffaros!!!

People always go for "monster" fish, whether freshwater or salt, but it'd be cool to see more schooling fish in big aquariums or in your case, the pond. Granted, it would be cool to see big fish too. Maybe a mix of both, assuming they can cohabitate.

Paul, you’re right, I think you should go with the larger tangs for the pond. Vlaminigi, regal, sohal will grow large in there. The monos will also grow large and are a hardy fish

*OmG* The Corals Were _BEAUTIFUL_ ...Heaven!! I Think You Should Go Big & A Lot Of Colour!! The Tester Fish Looked So Cute❤❤❤ Congrats They Look So Happy Swimming 🤩🐠🐟

I personally love the tangs. They come in so many different colors and shapes. But that saltwater pond is going to be amazing no matter what you put in it.

This video has been waiting to happen since the build of the pond. The 4 new tester fish look great. They have all of the water to swim in to their selves and the bottom creatures look great as well. Keep up the amazing work Paul.

💯% do a salt pond community with different species of large tangs and coral. So many directions you can go with that.

The OG Cuffaroes will forever always remember *Phoebe & Pocket the pet rats!* 🐀🐁✨️♥️💯

A very cool community pond especially since you have to anemones. A colony of clowns. Also tangs, angels, blennies and gobies. Would love to see how these would school and interact. I am sure you could get other stuff like wrasse and rabbitfish as well. Maybe ribbon eels and horseshoe crabs. There is such a wide range that would be so sick. And please some moonfish

Been waiting for this. you should definitely do a community pond,imagine how beautiful it would look with corals and reef safe fish. I have a feeling your going to do a community pond

You should definitely fill the saltwater pond with coral and make it an incredible reef pond. with 100's of fish and all the coral you can frag from the tank inside. Its content gold.

13:37 you definitely need to buy the tangs and snappers for the tank another cool fish for the tank would be sharks

After seeing the painting granddad painted it be really cool to bring it to life on with bigger fishes, to bad there’s not large LARGER clown fish , like the big tangs etc it would be amazing to sit back watch a live painting. Then bring he out show him his painting come alive !

Paul posted yay

Hands down turn this pond into a community fish pond. That would be unique.

UNI the sea Urchin is SO CUTE. I love that he is ruling the pond from up high. Thank you Paul for sharing your lovely creatures.

For the UV, you can take out the soft tubing and do hard pvc pipe. It will look much better.

I think is would be super super cool to have a army of tangs and it’s different then anything I have ever seen so it’s super cool!

Honestly I wanna see some giant crabs in that pond, that would be super unique imo, also keep up the good work watching all the vids about the pond always excites me

you should get lots of colorful schooling fish! theres alr plenty of predator fish content. no one else really has a massive beautiful colorful pond like this so i think you should do that. angles, clown fish, puffers, fish that are pretty and cute but also wont eat eachother

I agree, tangs, angels, wrasse etc. You can put so many more fish in the pond. Everyone has big predatory ponds.

Do loads of invertebrates! They never get enough love and some get huge! Those apple squirts were amazing

Was cool too see those 4 lil fishies swimming around all together 🐡 ...?. Many times cheaper does work better then the more expensive stuff

I think a huge community tank is the way to go! I would probably put the mangrove light above the mangrove for best results

I hope you get the stingray would look beautiful in your pond

Yes I agree 💯 with everyone doing a community pond with live coral reef and schooling fishes. I love when Paul puts up a video you know he always has something up his sleeve lol that pond reef will so amazing in the coming months can't wait to see that congrats Paul on such an amazing pond 🐠🐠💜

I think tangs would be great. You could put a unicorn surgeonfish in there eventually.

Salt pond is looking zesty!! My sons say😊 Love idea of schooling fish as testers and for pond in future, they just look awesome traveling thru the pond.... Tangs would be good idea too. that stingray would be BA. Thx you for great video❤

So excited to see fish in that pond. You should name them Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.

Start small with the tangs it’d be awesome to watch the whole growing process of them cause a tang pond would be awesome with a mix of others that can go with them

id love like a huge community pond for the saltwater pond, they’re a lot more lively (no hate against the poolpond lol)

Me again! There are all kinds of predatory ponds. I think a community tank would be a lot of fun and showcase different breeds of fish. I loved the tangs. Good luck with all your new pets!

I think emperor angel is a must they would look sooo amazing in that tank! Also they look beautiful even when they change colour. A ray would be cool aswell.

You know its a good day when Paul posts a 20+ minute video

A community salt water tank would be amazing! I still vote for a Guitar Ray they look incredible! Also a full tank of Tangs would look insane so many awesome types like the Orange Bar tang! I don’t think anyone on YT has either of these fish.

Would love to see a community tank with live coral and enenimies

Honestly every fish u suggested is a great idea and can go with huge tangs and angle fish

Do a Community. Giant schools are the way to go with these projects. You would even be able to have a school of tangs

Paul actually looks through his comments for advice Massive Respect from CA

Paul you’re amazing you spent thousands of dollars to make us happy in the pond looks literally amazing. I built a turtle pond in the whole reason why I wanted to build a turtle pond is because you inspired me too.❤

It’s crazy how far you’ve come Paul, so happy for you

Hey paull maybe you can chance the color of the bucket of the tree in your salt water pond to blend more with the rocks when you do a water change and the water is low 😉

Man, that puts a smile in everyone’s face!! 🔥

Man I know it limits what you can put in but I would love to see the pond as a reef tank. Would be beautiful.

Seeing those fish go into the salt water pond hit different. Grandad got talent!!👏

Ask Brenten to name the 4 fish! He always comes up with the best and funniest names🤣

Maybe a community style with tangs and schooling fish and wrasse etc but like 1 grouper or 1 snapper or 1 large fish something like that so it’s like a real coral reef since there’s always so many small fish but then like 1 big grouper or something

Fish Name Suggestions: (Pokemon Edition) 1- Magikarp - when grows up into Gyrados 2- Goldeen - when grows up into Seaking 3- Remoraid - when grows up into Octiller 4- Finneon - when grows up into Lumineon or Fun Names combos: 1- Peeka 2- Boo 3- Splish 4- Splash

The moment we have all been waiting for! Cannot WAIT to see what you got!

So excited for this video,while I won't be able to do salt water, you definitely inspired me to try a little fresh water when we move to new Mexico ❤

Can we all appreciate the time and effort he puts into these types of videos ❤😊

You should use a few Kessil 500x for the tank and for the mangrove. You can hang them all the way at the ceiling

Yes! Also lots of nice angels. That would be cool.

*I hope that your pets are doing well and okay, Paul.* 🐟🐠🐡♥️💯

Before you said anything alls I could think of was how cool a big tang tank would be! Orange shoulder, vlamingi, unicorn! Can’t wait to see this!!

Progress, lots of progress! Happy to see the first fish going into the pond. They are very pretty, and hope they grow so they can stay. Wouldn't mind seeing them move to the inside aquarium though, if they have to. Anyhow, great view of them through the windows! Windows are awesome! Thank you for the video, Paul! Have a great one!

Go with the big tangs, angels, triggers, wrasses. Would be a super colorful and active pond.

Ye go with the 1s you said the tangs and that squirrel fish would look stunning...love the channel..❤

Haven't seen Cornelius in a while. I hope he is good. 🐸🐸🐸

Community pond is the way to go!. Can get some tangs and angel fish to grow big in there

Full Predotor Tank: Blue Dot Stingray, Horn Shark, Eels, Grouper and Snapper, plus some massive tangs!

Buncha BLUE TANGS for sure!!!! :)

I think hundreds of smaller reef fish schooling would be the best! Plus some big tangs. Keep up the great job

Hello PC, I am one of your newest Culfaros. I, my wife and I have been watching you and Brinton for about 3 months. Not really sure how many GranFans you have but We are definitely old enough to be your Grand Parents. One if the reasons why I think we love watching you guys because you take be back before there was youtube. I use to get one if them plastic or metal pools and make my own ego system in the back yard. I grew up in Indian River County and there were so many little and big creatures it was l Iike a boys playground. I use to be so much like you I just did not have youtube. I hope someday I get to see your little farm and also some of your friends places like Blake, the reptile man, and the monkey man. You and Brinton make laugh and remind me of my youth. Thank you for that but most of all thanks for caring for our creatures. God speed.

I love the large tang idea, could also add large angels and wrasse.

Seeing them swimming around I really think you should do a massive community tank, abit like the massive reef tank on finding Dory would be incredible x

@PaulCuffaro suggestion make the pond a community pond and put live Corals and put a Apex predator in it to where it’s a natural ecosystem and have the other fish / invertebrates / crustaceans to be able to breed so it never ends

Yes please! Do it paul! Great idea

So glad Wawa has made it all the way from Jersey down to Florida

Pop pop!! I need his paintings! Please sell them at the new shop!!! ❤

You should do local florida fish. Snook,red drum,sheepshead, grouper,snapper. So on.

Community pond for sure, get everything

Definitely community pond I think colors would be awesome

Omg Paul you have to get that orange fish with the thick white lines in that tank at the 4 mins. 50 secs into the video! Actually just get all the fish in that tank I'm talking about!!!!

great video! btw, you should swicth out those metal hose clamps to plastic ones. theyll start to rust with the salt water.

Yes big tangs and community fish!!! That what I said a long time ago! That’s what I would do!!!

I think we should make the saltwater pond a tang reef with tons of tangs and other community fish

Community Pond for sure! And definitely name your fish The Fantastic Four!

Hey Paul I would Love to see a peppermint Angel fish for the pond If you can't it's ok, Love your videos

Do a FOWLR tank with Some crazy Eels and triggers, maybe angels too. That’s be crazy!

Heck yeah Paul get some big ol tangs for the salt water pond since they aren’t too crazy like predatory fish you could maybe add a crustacean to or sea star

Great video ❤❤ love to watch them always a laugh!! You should name the mono fish Ted, Allan, Po and Mo for a good laugh 😂😂

paul 2 videos away from 1000 gotta do a special video for the BIG 1000 that’s crazy content MACHINE

Pond looking awesome

You should Get a Moon Tail Sea Bass for your pond It has that gold fish kind of color which will stand out in you pond

Hey Paul , make it a community tank with perhaps a theme off any living coral barrier reef system in the world, it would look so goood!! All love from Malaysia.

Community pond with lots of small fish for sure, would be so much colour and movement

I reckon you should do tangs and parrot fish
