aquanaut Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I have finally remembered to take some pics and a vid of the pond at my parents place. They are close to a river and it runs naturally underground through the river rock with a high static level. They dug it out about 10 years ago and just let it do it's thing. There were heaps of large goldfish but when there are dry summers the pond dry's up. We try to take out as many fish as possible but over the years they have died off and been picked off by predators. I find it amasing how the snails end up being in there from just a hole dug in the ground. The huge goldy is the last one left, Survival of the fittest one would say. http://s467.photobucket.com/albums/rr31 ... V00059.flv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Were the closeups of the fish taken at a different time to the pond pics? The pond looks very clear but the closeups don't. What a pity it dries up during summer months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whetu Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 That is one big, fat fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquanaut Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 It looks clear from the angles i took the pond pics from, but is pretty green up close. The shallower part is alot clearer than the deeper part, All the photo's were taken at the same time. The rain we are having in christchurch at the moment has helped fill it up a little so it might make it through summer this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
