Up north muskie and pike are together all the time. I also have no doubt that they will eat each other if possible. Pike are cannibalistic so there's no reason to think they wouldn't eat a smaller muskie.
Trout r very very hard to keep in an aquarium they're very fragile plus they're a cold water fish so a chiller is a must I would like to see him give it a go tho
I had 3 Muskie about 20 years ago living in my pool with some painted turtles and some 9 inch blue gills. They got about 30” so I let them go back in the lake I got them from. They are fun to watch eat. I should make a pond out of pool again. Lol
I so appreciate you commenting on how you like to scape your tanks towards natural habitats of what's in them. Drives me nuts how so many of these fish-tubers dont worry about that. In my humble opinion if we decide to keep any fish in our homes in tanks it's our responsibility to try our best to make the fish feel like they are living in a smaller version of home. Dosnt matter imo if the fish are tank raised or wild caught still should go out of our way to replicate natural habitats. Especially those of us who keep stingrays! Sand is so cheap compared to the comfort level it provides stingrays. I cant stand seeing fish kept in plain glass boxes basically, even in quarantine tanks. Especially when and if the keeper has more than enough means to provide it.
You and me both. I've scoured You-Tube and I can't beleeeve how many channels actually make a case for bare tanks and having no plants (fake or real) gravel or substrate in their tanks. I mean, these bare tanks lack personality, drama, and warmth. if you ask me, i think these bare tank aficionados are just plain lazy and don't want to deal with cleaning their tank.
Those Tiger Salamander Tadpoles will change if you slowly start to take the water out day by day. If they have water like that theyll stay in that stage most times and I think they might even be able to breed like that, not sure tho.
Told ya that Musky would grow ridiculously fast! Awesome to see him getting a big upgrade! I've never been able to keep musky in a pond/tank that big. I kept 2 in a 220 gallon and I had to release them into a buddies private lake when they hit 20 inches. Awesome idea with the netting and cling on hooks.
I knew the Muskie would grow quick... But he's exceeding my expectations!! Having that extra space in the 125 caused him to explode! Can't imagine how big he will be in 6 weeks in this pool!
About 20 years ago I had a 55 gallon tank. I was 15 years old so of course I wanted killers so I had 2 Oscar’s, 3 red belly’s, and the ultimate freshwater killer that’s now illegal…the giant snakehead. Let me just say I came home one day and there was only one Oscar and two snakeheads left….they were the most vicious fish I have ever seen. Unfortunately they both jumped out the tank and died. The Oscar was left standing.
You get side tracked to fast when explaining what it is you are doing. Don't get me wrong it's interesting what you are doing no question,you just get off track on things that distract from your point. Now I've noticed that you feed your musky differently than I do my pike and tiger musky. What I mean to say is during times of stress or low to no eating I use fish oil. Anyways good luck 🤞🤟
I feel like the Wiper's are a big river current type fish so a recirculating waterfall style filter that can create a current for them would be best. Same for the Smallies
The filtration video would be super helpful! Planning to build the bass a pond in the next couple months. Like you have in the past with wood and a liner
Awesome. Lot of dream fish for me. Had Northern. Steelhead. Alligator Gar. Chain Pickerel. Tiger Muski. Cats & pan fish. Have bow fin. Would love to have the Muski! Walleye & Stripers. Really cool man. Dig it.
I would love to see a tank set up for just panfish. Such as white and yellow perch, black crappie, sunfish, and maybe rock bass. Thanx. BTW..Cool channel.
I live on the Susquehanna River in PA and the Smallies and Musky get big but the Smallies get crazy...seen them eat duck's before...not ducklings or full sized ducks but I'd say a yearling duck
[wow, that's cool that pond you have so that pond is for keeping inside the house almost like a swimming pool I've got a 2 story house so I've got plenty of space to add more fish just like you did]
Do a mixed Sunfish set up, I once had a 150 gallon tank that i scraped with wood ,rocks and live plants and stocked with 2 little bluegill, one green Sunfish, 2 Texas Banded Sunfish one Red Breast, and a Warmouth! I caught them all as wild fish except the Texas Bandeds which were a gift. They all actually got on together nicely with very little aggression even after they all grew larger( I'm thinking because they all grew up together except the Texans which were adults when I got them and even so the Bluegill were already the same size!) They all would school together kind of circling the tank making half circles and up -down variations, and sometimes when resting they would all just float suspended at varying depths about the same distance from each other, the Green Sunfish didnt school with the rest after it started getting bigger and had a log hollow that he hung out in coming out now and then and making rapid dashes to and fro for a dizzying moment and then back to his log, the Warmouth NEVER schooled with the rest preferring to hang out at a pile of rocks that had 2 big plants next them on each side in the back right hand corner and would come out now and then to make a slow cruise around the tank half heartedly chasing some of the others as if to say " that's right bitches run, I'm the baddest mofo in this tank!" Then back to his rocks. I also had a green Corydoras Cat, and some native snails that must have got in on one of the plants I snagged out of the creek for the tank, I had a very hard time controlling them as they multiplied faster then anything I've ever seen, so 4 times a year I would put All the fish in a kiddie pool, or the Bathtub a couple of times, remove ALL THE pebbles I used for substrate ,and took all the Rocks and wood out along with the plants and start over scrubbing the tank thoroughly baking the pebbles boiling the rocks, replacing the rocks and sticking to store bought plants, and then put everything back, and still the snails would somehow reappear!! In smaller quantities each time but I never could completely eradicate them. They were like the COCKROACHES of the fish tank!!!
You could do little fish highlights once a week, of different fish, could be anything, would give you that extra bit of content that might attract more subs/views, and it wouldn’t take much filming, coz you can just use majority footage of the fish. Know people do them about other pets but not fish
Great fish but can I make a couple suggestions? I think you should get some bells or better yet those little electric alarms that gets triggered if something touches it so the net on top of your musky pond if he should ever try and jump out you could be alerted if you are in the house. I really like the electric ones because they will beep up to every 10 seconds. Also did you ever think about getting the few different types of pumpkin seeds? Lots of nice coloring in many of them and they also will hybridize and you can come up with some fantastic looking fish. Some of them will do this in the wild also. One other thing, did you ever think about getting a northern pike? They are a lot more aggressive than muskies when it comes to stalking prey and they won't get nearly as large which can also be a neat thing. Your little pickerel I don't know if you knew this or not but there are many different species in North America and somewhere really cool looking. Anyway that's all I have! Great channel!
You just need to put the musky in the biggest pond right away. Moving it around and keeping it in smaller aquariums could slow its growth and stress it out more when you could have put it in the garage pond right away.
[thank, you for you're video I, also have live fresh water eels in the fresh water stream that I've been trading all of these fresh water fish I don't keep the live eels the reason is because every eel that I've traded and put in the fish tank is those live eels will get inside the water filter I think they enjoy the running water honest I don't like the eels they look to much like a serpent.
The bad thing about catfish especially flat heads, is you will never have a fish that will ever be safe in the tank with them not even the muskies! They are like a gulper cat! Blues are pretty bad also plus you know these cats all get larger than any of the fish you have even if they reach their top-end! I mean when you talk about simple blue catfish state records being 90-100 pounds in almost every State that starts to get pretty serious and they can grow faster than people actually believe! You know the blue cats and flatheads are straight up predators or the channel cats are scavengers so if you really want a cat you're better off with the channel cat. In my opinion they simply a lot more trouble than they're worth and they were for me!
[I, guess after a while I'm going to have to keep some of those live eels for those bass that I've got I just do t like those eels because they look to much like a serpent]
Great vid bro cant want see diy filter build video, I think some crappie would just complete the collection, like blue gill but can be as aggressive as bass
You should get your fish nice rocks you can male like caves for them. For cover so the feel better about life. Some fish just do not to be on camera. Lol. I have a few myself. They all have personalities thats for sure.
I just bought a redtail catfish a few days ago and i am so excited but i am now tasked with getting a large tank set up for it. I was wanting to go the rectangle pool route, but i think if i can get a decent deal on a 10 or 12 foot round pool i would make it work. Right now little baby titus is only like 2 1/2 inches long but i want to have his big setup ready for when he needs it. I do not want to end up being stuck rushing when he gets too big for my 125. Right now hes in a 75 gallon grow out and then he will go into my 125 tank with a few yellow bullhead. Im so excited for the near future with titus. Whats the best for a red tail? A rectangle pool or the round pool?
Wowwwwwwwww this cat got some sweet ass shit , that Muskie , that bass was big asf. Them pikes, then snakehead looking fish was super hard. I like this dudes channel
I just love watching those fish, they navigate in the water like a bird navigates in the sky more specifically like a hummingbird how they zip around, it's really cool to watch
What species is that pair at 11:53 feeding, also those pikes at 12:05, are they of the same species as the one you got in the pond, of no, how big those ones get and what is the name?
😂😂 I was about to go to bed... And then finished editing this video... For another 6 hours! Appreciate you staying up to watch it! Hopefully you got some sleep after lol
