They are swimming among the hornwort in the 5 foot deep area.

Just a side note, the pond has not been touched this summer, no cleaning, no bottom netting, no lily grooming.

Thanks Addy. Beautiful fish and crystal clear water!

Perfect pond and fish! Do you have a glass side, or underwater camera?

We found a gopro on the beach in florida last year. Finally used it to film the fish. I do have them on a underwater camera, dvr system, but it does not give the best of pictures. We watch them on a tv screen in the living room, fun to watch them swim around. A good way to check on them over winter too. That system is around 4 years old.

The newer dvr system won't support the underwater cameras and I have not found new ones that will work with it.

You have happy gorgeous fish!!! I don't think the fish mind one bit about a little stuff in their house!

I just need to make sure I do a good cleaning of excess matter before it freezes over. Every time I think of grooming the lilies they send up more buds and are blooming so pretty still, so they are spared!

Pretty little babies. I saw one with really nice, long fins!

I have seen a bunch that will probably end up being nicely finned. I like have a combination of long and short fins, makes a nice mix. There are a few real blue looking ones. It is fun to watch the fry grow up. I don't pick any to be my favorite, that way my favorite won't disappear some day.

I love this! The world underwater is so cool to watch. We share the same space, and yet we don't. Very pretty little babies addy!

Thanks, the smaller ones are all pond fry from this year.

Did it have any video on it? Would be cool to see what it was used for when it got lost. I hope to get one someday to film my own pond and adventures.

Your fish all look great! I can't wait until my baby fish start growing up. I also love that the bottom of your pond looks natural. I hope mine transforms into that eventually.

The deep end has a mixture of a fine layer of pea gravel and kitty litter (all spills, opps). The horn wort seems to like growing out of it, makes it look like a forest. What is interesting where this layer is, it stays pretty clear of algae, muck etc. Keeps a whitish color to the bottom. You can see it in the video.

The go pro had a ton of video and pictures I posted them here, on facebook, and other places trying to find the owners. Still have the data saved just in case some day they show up.

Looks like a natural habitat pond underwater there and fish are so pretty. That camera takes great vids!

So is this camera in a water proof case or does the camera go in the water as is?

Any idea on the model?
