In today's video, I find an ABANDONED POND filled with aquarium fish that need saving! I got an email from a subscriber saying that this community fish pond has been abandoned and that there is many fish that need rescuing! We looked through this filthy algae pond and ended up netting out koi, goldfish, cichlids, oscars, angel fish, mollies, AND MORE which we brought back to my backyard ponds and tanks! We also found a bunch of dumped kittens which we also rescued! Should we go back for a part 2 and drain the pond?

Oh, that is nasty. Oh my God. There's so many fish, dude. That's a big girl.
We have to save them. They're right next to the road. What is this?
Oh my God. Oh, oh dude, you just missed a big fish.
What's up BFB nation. Welcome back to another awesome video guys.
Today we got another rescue mission.
I got an email from a subscriber the other day saying that he lives in this
community where they actually built a pond in the front of their neighborhood.
Not a fountain, like a legit pond.
And they were stocking it for a long time, feeding the fish.
It was a beautiful pond, he said.
But recently they changed management, maybe about a month ago.
And the new guys, they don't take care of the fish.
Everything's run down. It's abandoned.
The water's murky, it's algae ridden, and no one's taking care of these fish.
We don't know what kind of fish they are.
He just said there's a lot of them and they were stocking them for a long time.
And there's a lot of fish in there that are not being taken care of.
They're in really bad conditions.
He said he was willing to save them,
but he doesn't have a fish tank or a pond to put them in.
So he contacted us. We're going to go there right now.
It's about an hour drive.
We got to go there with some nets, get in there, see what we can get out and save them.
We're going to bring everything back to my house, put them in my tanks, my ponds.
It's going to be a good one, guys.
You love the fish saving videos.
And it looks like we got another one today.
So we'll see you at the spot.
That looks like a pond right there.
You see that?
I think I see like the rock outcrop.
Right next to the road.
I don't know how to get there.
Here, we can go through here in the bushes.
All right, guys, we just found the pond.
It's right here.
It looks really abandoned.
Let's take a look.
Oh, my God.
It's like slime.
There's algae everywhere.
Look at this, Rob.
Oh, my God, there's fish.
There really is fish in here.
Look at all of them.
Oh, right here, there's a bunch.
Look at all of them.
What are those?
Are those goldfish or platies or mollies?
I can't really tell right now.
They're really...
There's a lot.
And they're all...
Oh, there's more over there.
There's even more.
There's a lot in here, Rob.
Oh, my gosh.
Look at this algae.
This pond is completely run down, it looks like.
Like very abandoned looking.
Oh, that is nasty.
Okay, we need to be careful here
because if we murk it up at all,
it's going to be very hard to find these fish.
Our subscriber didn't tell us what kind of fish they were.
I see a lot of goldfish, which makes sense.
A little decorative pond in the front.
They're probably going to have goldfish, koi, whatever.
There could be some other stuff.
Look at that, there's so many.
That looks like that was the filter right here.
Oh, yeah, that thing is submerged and stuff.
Oh, my God, look at this.
Look at the fish swimming away from me.
Ew.
This is a filter.
Oh, there's fish food.
Wait, wait.
This is all fish food.
Someone's been trying to feed them, I guess.
That might've been our subscriber trying to feed them,
keep them healthy until we come save them.
I say I take off my shoes and we start getting.
Oh, my God, Rob, cats.
Oh, oh, my God.
Oh, Rob.
Yo, get him, get him, get him.
There's three of them.
Dude.
That is adorable.
Come here.
We need to adopt these.
Oh, my God, they're so cute.
That is the most adorable, oh, my God.
Bro, we need to take these back.
Come here.
They're definitely like strays.
They're definitely strays, bro.
No way.
We just found some stray kittens.
Oh, she's running out.
They're kind of quick.
They're in this hole.
They're in these holes, look.
Ow, I got one.
Oh, my God, Rob.
Oh, my God.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
Oh, my God.
It's okay, it's okay.
That thing is adorable.
It's okay.
Dude, they're living in that hole.
Look at that.
There was like at least three in there.
Oh, that thing is cute.
Okay, we have to save them.
They're right next to the road.
There are definitely some kittens that someone dumped off.
Oh, look at you.
Oh, guys, this just turned from a fish rescue
to a kitten and fish rescue.
And now we're rescuing these.
Oh, look, she's adorable.
That thing is so cute.
Please don't bite me.
Look at her.
Oh, my God.
Dude, they're young, too.
She's adorable, bro.
She is.
How could someone dump her?
Look at this.
All right, guys, we're gonna try and save
as many of these little kittens as possible.
We just saved two of them.
I think there's more,
but we're gonna get to saving the fish soon, guys.
We're saving the little kittens right now.
They're right next to the road.
Someone definitely dumped them.
Look how adorable they are.
They're adorable.
They're calming down now.
It's okay, guys.
Also had to save the fish, too.
There's so many things we need to save,
so let's go get these little cuties in the truck.
Okay, guys, well, we just saved two kittens.
We just saw another one.
We're gonna focus on the fish now.
There's a lot of fish in this really nasty abandoned pond.
This is crazy.
I'm gonna take my shoes off
because we definitely gotta get in there.
Look at all these fish, dude.
They're every, oh, they're fast.
What are you guys?
Oh, my God, Rob.
Dude, we caught so many.
Oh, wow.
What are these?
Oh, my God, that one's been eaten on.
Oh.
A dead toad, too.
Yeah, a cane toad got slaughtered.
Oh, this is just, there's dead stuff everywhere here,
but look, these guys are alive.
Those look like little feeder goldfish.
That's so weird.
Look how tiny they are.
There's a bunch of them in here.
I'm gonna fill up the bucket.
We're gonna, oh, my, that could have been bad.
Almost fell in.
Oh, I just lost all the fish.
Right here, look, they're in the trash bag.
Oh, this one's pretty.
That's a nice one.
Is that a koi?
I don't know.
That's a goldfish, I think.
That's cool.
Looking good, my boy.
All right, in the bucket.
Oh, God, this is gonna be tough, dude.
There's a lot of fish in here.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, there's something different back there.
There's something different.
Guys, we're going in.
I see something really cool in the back.
It's white.
Look at that thing.
Rob, you see it?
Maybe I can net him.
No, I missed him.
Let's see.
I don't think I got what I was going for.
Oh, what is that?
Is that a mosquito fish?
That's probably just a mosquito.
Yeah, that's a mosquito fish.
This is another little goldfish for sure.
That one's cooler.
It's got a little orange head.
Yeah, he's got a little personality to him.
Yeah.
Where did it go?
Oh, there he is.
Look, Rob, you see it?
Yeah, dude.
It's white.
Oh, there's, oh.
Oh, my God, there's so many fish, dude.
Did I get it?
I got it.
Oh, my God.
This thing is so cool looking.
That's a molly.
It's a fat molly.
Oh, my God.
That thing is a unit.
That is so, oh, my God, look how fat he is.
That's a big girl.
Guys, look at that.
There's a lot of them in here.
These are little mollies, but he's so fat.
All right, we're going to keep him for sure.
More goldfish.
Oh, my God, look at that one.
This one's even fatter.
He's got a little base.
Dude, they are, I mean, at least they're eating good in here.
Look at all these little bugs, bro.
Oh, there's some on my hand.
Yeah.
This is going to be a mission, bro.
Oh, my God.
Rob.
What?
Do you see it?
Tell me when you see it.
Like right here by your foot.
Oh, my God.
That's a giant pleco, dude.
Look at this thing.
Ready, I'm going to grab it.
Yeah.
Is he alive?
If it's dead, that's going to be gross.
Oh, he's dead.
Oh, no, no, no.
I think it's alive.
Oh, it's got scoliosis.
Oh, my God.
Look at the size of this thing.
Guys, these are called plecos.
We just made a video catching albino ones,
but this guy's just a normal common, but he's massive.
He's very broken.
I don't even know what the,
what do we do with this thing?
Offer it to the cats.
True.
Kitty, kitty.
All right, honestly, we really can't save this guy.
He's very invasive.
What happens is people buy these guys
when they're this big.
They put them in their pond to clean up the algae,
and then they get huge.
Then you just don't know what to do with them.
Like, where do we even put this thing?
He's thriving in here, I guess.
We'll put him back.
Yeah, let him do his thing.
He'll slither away.
If you want us to come back and rescue this monster pleco,
we'll do it, but I think he's chilling in here.
We're going to try and save all the little guys.
Dude, it's, they are everywhere.
I mean, look at this.
Oh, you just caught so many.
Here, come over here, look at that.
Oh my.
Oh, that's crazy.
Oh yeah, there's so many.
How is this happening?
There's so many in there.
That's one, two.
Three.
They're in the mud.
That's a nasty pond, bro.
Dude, this pond is full.
Literally, the mud is moving.
Look, I'm catching more.
Bro, Bobby, look at this.
The mud is moving.
Ew, look, I just caught some more too
while you were doing that.
Look at this, they're everywhere.
This one's a little, little fancy tail guy.
Little funky.
Yeah, a little funk.
Oh, look at the tail on that one.
That one's cool.
He's got a long little tail.
I don't know what we're going to do with these guys,
but we got to save them.
There's no filtration in here.
This pond is absolutely disgusting.
The only thing keeping them alive is this subscriber.
So good job on you feeding these fish.
Oh, look, they're back in there too.
Yeah, they're hiding.
Ready?
Gotcha.
Oh, I gotcha.
Dude.
Oh, dude, you just missed a big fish.
What do you mean?
There was a big fish.
How big?
Way bigger than the mollies.
Is this something that's going to attack me, Rob?
Oh, this one's cool.
Look at this, Rob.
I wish I would have seen this pond
when it was like really nice and clear.
Yeah.
Because it would have been really cool.
I mean, look at that.
Look at that molly.
Another balloon molly.
Yeah.
Look, I like the red, the black face.
Yeah, the little black.
That's cool.
All right.
Ew.
Dude, this stuff is nasty.
This is absolutely disgusting.
Oh, there's a goldfish.
Look at that.
Hiding in the mud.
Oh my God, there's a giant toad.
Look, there's more right there.
Oh my God.
Oh, oh, oh.
Here, hold this, hold this.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, what was that?
That's a big fish.
I know, I saw it.
Bro, what the?
Oh my God.
Look at that Oscar.
Oh my God.
Look at that Oscar.
That thing is insane.
That is not normal.
That's the prettiest Oscar I've ever seen.
Oh my God.
Dude, that thing is beautiful, bro.
Let's go.
We just went from catching goldfish to Oscars, bro.
He's the color of the bucket.
Literally.
What kind of, is that just a regular albino?
I have no idea.
That makes sense now a little bit.
They're probably trying to, they're,
dude, there might be some sick fish loaded in here.
They're probably.
Because they're feeding them the goldfish, I'm guessing.
You're right.
You get what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Like, there's probably like cool fish in here
that they just threw goldfish in constantly to feed them.
That's the coolest Oscar I've ever seen.
Like, actually.
I'm just gonna, you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm just gonna net in all the algae,
because that's how I caught it.
Oh, look how many fish are down there.
Yeah, look at this.
Look at that.
All day.
Yeah, see, this nets way better.
We switched to the white one,
because it's actually got some grip on it.
Oh, look, they're all stacked right there.
Oh yeah.
Oh, I got him.
Yeah, that was a good one.
Look at this.
Straight goldfish.
There's the fish food that dude's been feeding them.
Ew, dude, it's so thick.
That thing, it's gross.
That's why I'm not in there.
We're gonna have to get rid of this.
If we want to catch every fish,
we're gonna have to get rid of the algae.
Oh my God.
Look at the hook.
Dude, look at all the fish at the back wall.
Oh yeah.
Here, I'm gonna net it.
Ready?
Come on.
Come here.
No.
Got it.
I think I got it.
That's a nice molly.
Oh yeah.
Oh, two of them.
Three of them.
That one's sick looking.
I've never seen mollies this fat.
Look how fat these little guys are.
Oh, I love that one.
That one's the coolest.
No, these are a hundred percent just feeders.
Cause look, there's like a ugly one.
No one bought that willingly, right?
They're definitely trying to feed something in here.
What that is, we don't know.
Oh, wait.
Oh, back there.
There's a big fish.
Look.
Oh, oh, you see that?
Big orange fish.
Ready?
Yeah, I see him.
Ready?
Oh.
No.
That's another Oscar.
I swear to God.
Where did it go?
You saw that thing.
It was like, it was just the same size as the other one.
Okay.
We know there's another one in here for sure.
I just saw it.
I got it.
Oh, it's huge.
Oh, it's a goldfish.
Is it goldfish?
It's a goldfish.
Oh my God.
I guess that one survived the feeding.
Probably, dude.
How long have they been in here?
I don't know.
This is a goldfish that is, it's a big one.
This is a feeder too.
This is the same species as these little guys.
Look at the Oscar in there.
That is so sick.
Yes.
Okay, so that's really odd.
We're catching big goldfish now.
I thought, dang it.
I wish that was one of the Oscars.
Look at this, Rob.
Ready?
There's so many goldfish.
They also might be breeding in here too.
That's why there might be so many.
Rob, I think you should get in.
Dude, honestly.
Come on, you don't want to play in the mud?
Oh, what is that?
Oh, new species.
New species.
A little platy.
That's a fat one.
That's a nice one.
All right, so we got some variety in here too.
Not just goldfish and Oscars.
That's sick.
That is called a platy.
They're very similar to Molly's, but they're different.
That is a platy.
I think it's pregnant too.
It could be.
That's sick.
Okay, there's babies in here too.
Ew, oh my.
They're in the trash.
They're in the trash?
Rob, I'm not.
Here, come over here.
They're in the trash.
Oh no, they're going out.
They were in the trash bag, I swear.
There's still one, look.
Look, oh yeah, he's in the trash.
Guys, this is why you don't litter, okay?
Even in fountains like this, fish still get stuck in it.
Oh, there's a fish.
Where?
No, that's a leaf.
Oh, back there.
There they are.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, right here, right here.
Oh!
Oh, wow.
I didn't get it.
What was that?
Oh, what the heck?
What the heck are these?
Okay, first off, what is this?
Is this a goldfish?
I think so, right?
What is that?
Yeah, I think that's a goldfish.
It's like blue though, that's crazy.
But look in here, ready?
Another Molly, another fatty.
A unit.
Dude, so sick.
Ready, watch this.
Boom.
Oh my God.
Is that a Jack Dempsey?
I think that's a jewel.
Oh, it is a jewel.
Look at this guy.
How did you wind up in this fountain, dude?
Yeah.
Look at that.
Oh, he's a jumper.
He's really pretty.
That's a really pretty one.
Really pretty.
Here, we'll throw him in the bucket.
That wasn't even what I was going for.
I saw something in there.
This big.
I saw it swimming, bro.
He was back here.
Maybe he's back there again.
I don't see it.
Oh, right there.
Yes, yes, yes.
You got it?
Oh, yeah, you got it.
It's a koi.
Yes, it is a koi.
That is sick.
Look at this guy.
He's beautiful.
Oh, that's a nice one.
Oh my.
It's a butterfly too.
Right?
I think so.
Yeah, that looks like a little butterfly koi.
Oh, he is.
He's been nipping his fins.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, see, that's why we gotta get him out of here.
There's cichlids in here.
Kittens, dude, the kittens.
Yeah.
Look at this, guys.
Look at our finds already.
We have a koi, giant old goldfish,
big old freaking fat mollies.
I've never seen them that fat before.
That's so cool.
And my favorite yet, this amazing albino oscar.
Hold her.
Ew.
Dude.
Oh my God, that is a filter right there.
That thing is disgusting.
That is so vile.
Oh my God.
The water.
This makes me, I feel disgusted.
Oh my God, wait.
Ron, there's a fish.
Oh!
Oh my God!
What?
Put the camera in there.
Oh my God.
Is that a freaking angelfish?
Dude, that's an angelfish.
No way.
They must, is there two in there?
Could they be breeding?
No, I don't see, I only see one.
Look at that thing!
That thing is beautiful.
That is, that tops the Oscar.
Look at this.
Bro, I heard something flopping around.
I was like, there's a fish in there.
I was not expecting this.
So now we know there's angelfish in here too.
Look at him right there.
He's beautiful.
Guys, we might even have to do a part two
with this whole pond.
Dude, we should just drain it.
We don't have the equipment to drain it right now,
but I think that's a good idea.
If you want to see that, we'll come back, do a part two.
Right now, we're going to try our best
to get all the fish we can.
But if you want to see us come back,
drain this whole pond and catch everything out,
go down there and leave a like.
Dude, that is disgusting.
That is vile.
Yeah, it smells wonderful.
Oh my God.
We're trying though.
I mean, we don't want to leave anything here
because this is really nasty.
We don't want to-
Oh, oh.
Oh, I'm sorry about that.
Rob had an accident, guys.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Dude, why?
Why is there a glove in here, dude?
Who?
I don't know, dude.
Why is there a glove?
I don't know if you should have touched that glove.
Bobby's on the prowl.
He's the biggest predator in this pond.
Behind the back, misdirection.
Oh, yeah.
You know what?
Yeah.
Oh, what is that?
What is that?
What?
Rob, come here.
Reese's Pieces or Rice Krispies?
Ew, it smells, no, there was a fish.
It smells so bad.
I saw a fish, though.
Oh!
Oh, what the?
I don't want to swear.
What is this?
Is this alive?
Oh, it's alive, bro.
It's like an eel.
I can't do this.
Dude, dude, it's like an eel.
I'm gonna, stop it.
Something smells really bad.
What is that?
What did you get?
I don't know, but I don't want to drop it.
Oh!
That's not what I'm smelling.
What is this?
That's a loach, dog.
Yeah, that's a loach.
Oh my God.
I knew I saw something.
That's an albino, too, dude.
A little loach.
Oh!
Oh, it smells like it again.
Oh no.
Oh!
I just saw something in the bottom of that net.
What is that?
Ew, I don't want to know.
Dude, my foot's burning.
Oh, I just saw something jump.
Ew!
Rob, look at all that.
Oh my God.
Yes!
Another one!
Look at that thing!
These are, that's the same exact one.
That's so sick!
Those are gorgeous.
This was the last thing I was expecting.
I've never even seen these, bro.
They're so red.
I'm really itchy, bro.
I'm nasty, I'm itchy, I'm smelly.
I'm done.
Look at this, this is disgusting.
Guys, go down there, drop a like.
It's gonna take a lot of likes for me to come back.
This is nasty, bro.
We're gonna bring the kittens back to my house.
I don't know, we're probably gonna
put them up for adoption maybe.
Maybe Rob will take one, maybe I'll keep one.
And yeah, this is, this is disgusting.
Guys, we made it back to my house now.
We have the kittens inside set up
in a little temporary thing.
We also have all the fish we saved today, dude.
We saved so many animals today.
Fish, fish, kittens, everything.
But look at this, guys.
We're here at my koi pond,
and I think we're gonna put this fat,
oh my God, there's the angelfish.
We're gonna put this big old goldfish in here.
Look at that.
Big old feeder goldfish that made it through.
There he goes.
We also have, yeah, that is a butterfly koi right here.
I guess we'll put him in the koi pond as well.
You know, he's not the prettiest,
but hey, for catching it out of an abandoned fountain pond,
I think it's pretty cool.
There he goes.
We're gonna put all the mollies in the mini pond,
and then I think the angelfish
and those really cool oscars,
I think we're gonna put with the discus
in my tiki hut tank.
That's gonna be so cool.
So let's go get these guys in their new homes.
Look at that.
Dumpy.
So funny.
All right.
There goes one.
Look at that.
I love the one with the black head.
He's so cool looking.
In they go.
Oh, this one's fully orange.
That is sick.
In he goes.
One.
Right there.
Sick.
Gotcha.
That's a platy right there.
That's really neat.
In he goes.
All right, we're here at the tiki hut tank.
We just fed him.
There's the discus.
There's the female.
There's the male there.
The Monte Cristo cichlid, the rainbow fish.
First is this angel fish.
Dude, so sick.
I really never had an angel fish like this.
I've had one before and he's in a pond right now.
You never see him, but this is really cool.
I can't wait to see him in the tank.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Oh my God.
Gorgeous.
Dude, to think that thing was living
in that nasty mud pond.
Here we go.
We got the two Oscars.
Look at this, Rob.
They're, oh my goodness.
That is not normal.
I've never seen them that red.
That orange.
Oh, that is so cool.
We're going to get them in the tank.
Ready?
Three, two, one.
Oh my God.
That's insane, Rob.
Hopefully no one picks on them
and they're able to get big in here.
They should do really well.
They should get really big.
And once they do, we're probably going to move them
somewhere else.
Oh, and I also forgot the doja loach.
Three, two, one, boom.
Oh, he's so cool.
I love those things.
We catch them a lot.
Super, super cool Oscars.
Nice angel fish.
This was awesome, guys.
Now, all we have left really is these goldfish.
All right, now check it out, guys.
We have a plan for all these goldfish we caught today.
Right now behind me is the white pool pond
that has had nothing in it for a while.
Hopefully they do good in here.
And if not, you know, they're food for our new fish.
But there they go.
All the little goldfish.
That's crazy.
Let's go check on those little kittens.
They are freaking adorable.
All right, guys, we got the little kittens in here.
I think they're sleeping.
Oh my goodness.
Oh, they're so cute, dude.
Right now, we have two kittens in our possession.
There's more there, but for now,
go down there and comment a name for these two.
They are adorable.
I think we're gonna raise them here at the house.
And they're gonna be new members of the family,
new members of the BFB Nation.
This is so cool.
If you did enjoy today's video, go down there,
leave a like, subscribe if you haven't already.
I will see you guys in the next one.
Peace out.
