Buying an Abandoned Angler Fish and Transforming Its Home!

I just found the craziest deal on Craigslist—a completely abandoned angler fish setup. In this video, we take this creepy little deep-sea creature and build it the most insane custom aquarium it’s ever seen—complete with a glowing sunken shipwreck, an erupting volcano, and a full-on sponge forest straight out of Bikini Bottom. 🌋🧽⚓ From sketchy Craigslist pickups to glowing underwater caves, this was hands-down one of the wildest builds I’ve ever taken on. Did the angler fish approve? Watch ‘til the end to find out…

This transformation is absolutely INSANE! What’s one wild addition you’d make to take it to the next level? 👀

"Yeah we wanna simulate the pressure, cold, and dark.of the deep sea" "ok here's a fully lit, pressure free, and room temp tank"

[PaleHorseO.o]

Man, the vibes on this upload are like info commercial

[lisov]

Guaranteed. These fish werent kept in a filthy tank. This was done to make the video interesting.

[mstybrkwtrs]

I'm glad you rescued some fish. but they are super lucky to have lived through the parameter shock from being popped into perfectly clean water.

[crouchingcamels]

“We need to act quickly” mean while does an intro with it sitting in the truck 😂😂😂

[audreymeyer]

If they were actually worried about the fish being dead they would’ve searched as soon as they saw the tank. There’s no way those fish would’ve survived without proper care for months. ESPECIALLY STARFISH

Put leaf fish in tank. Leaf fish: "Look, I'mma leaf, flopping in the surge. Nothin' to see here, just a leaf"

[mattbarrett]

so amazed at how many fish you find that live in neglected tanks with no filters or food for months, you really need to start buy lottery tickets with all the luck you seem to have

[lancexrena]

I'll make sure to remember this youtube channel name so i won't fall for another clickbait again.

[celinegreenidge]

An angler fish could NEVER survive in this atmosphere.

[jonathane]

It's almost like we have seen these same fish used in other videos lol😮

[connorparnham]

Frogfish - Sandy Reef, Anglerfish - Deepsea. same family, completely different species

[jtg_edc]

Didn't we just see these fish?? I know yall just had that frog fish and that popeye fish in a recent video.

[MickeyCuervo]

I had no idea you even COULD house an anglerfish. I thought they were all the really deep sea ones, like the ones with the glow lure that needed that high-pressure pitch dark. I guess there's a few different kinds! Neat!

I am so happy to have found your YouTube channel. I used to keep African cichlids in one massive tank and gorgeous discus in another massive tank. My aquariums where my world. My Africans bread frequently and I then got into breeding my discus. I would sit for hours watching them interact and the babies grow from little fry to exquisite adults. I did this for years and my adult discus grew to amazing sizes and different colours.

Unfortunately I started to get osteoarthritis in all my joints and had to sell all my fish, aquariums and gear. I was heartbroken 💔. My discus were my favourite fish and I still think of all my fish today. I can only pray they all lived happy and healthy lives. I'm now in a wheelchair until I can get all my joints replaced, but I'll never be able to keep fish again.

Your enthusiasm and beautiful fish and aquariums had me transfixed. That angler fish is so beautiful. I couldn't bare to see those fish in that horrible tank and totally neglected. Poor fish. I'm so glad you managed to save some of them. You are my favourite channel now. I'll be watching your other videos, for sure.

For all of us OG's, we want new and real content!

[davidk]

can everyone agree their click baiting buying fish and torchering them in that poop water, THOSE FISH just spawn from no where

[jonathanvanwijmeersch]

you are making up stories and the worst is that some people believe you, the decor of the tank is horrible, the fishs are nice but for the rest you are being to theatral what can please maybe a six year old...max a 12 year old, the videos you make are a make up show for
