Fish and Pond Videos
Last Updated: 5/3/08
This page has videos of my aquarium and pond fish, aquariums, and ponds.
Videos are listed from newest to oldest.
1800 Gallon Pond - 1559 KB, mpg movie.
This shows the pond on 4/13/08 before I cleaned the filters and tidied up. You can see iris loose
in the pond and that the water is flowing more slowly. The fish made a mess from spawning.
1800 Gallon Pond - 2783 KB, mpg movie.
This is a video of the pond after I cleaned it on 4/13/08. It jumps around a lot because I wanted
to show all of the pond (and I am not a good videographer; I use a digital camera for short
movies).
There are photos from that day on this page.
153 Gallon Pond - 5170 KB, mpg movie.
This is a video when the pond was empty during the cleaning on 4/1/08. Go to this page for details.
153 Gallon Pond - 2837 KB, mpg movie.
This is a video after the pond was done with the cleaning on 4/1/08.
1800 Gallon Pond - 2491 KB, mpg movie.
This is a video of the 1800 gallon pond on 12/6/07 after four inches of snow the day before. I
pan from the north end of the pond (biofilter) to the middle of the pond (where the fish are) and
down to the south end (marginal area). Four photos of the ponds taken at the same time can be
seen on my winter pond photos page.
Quick Pond Video - 929 KB, mpg movie.
This is a quick pond video on 5/26/07. I just stood on the east side of the pond and panned from
the southwest end to the northwest end. It starts at the Cyprio filter then past the yellow flag iris
and marginals to the fish and finally the waterfall covered in water celery.
Long Pond Video - 3659 KB, mpg movie.
This is a long pond video on 5/26/07. I walked from the north side of the pond to the south side
outside the mulched area and then walked up to the pond from south to north. The standard iris
and yellow flag iris in the pond are all in bloom. The waterfall area is taken over by water celery.
The video is shaky because I was walking around fast to put as much into the video as possible in
a short time. And yes, I talk.
On 4/22/07, I took this video of the goldfish spawning. As I zoom in on the goldfish slamming
each other out of the water in the shallows, a green frog also jumps from the left of the screen to
the right.
Spawning Goldfish - 2740 KB, mpg movie.
On 3/29/07, I cleaned out my 153 gallon pond as detailed on my pond cleaning page. I took these two videos.
Rosy red minnows - 1291 KB, mpg movie.
This is the rosy reds in a bowl. I was moving them for the pond cleaning. It looks like I had six
babies and six adults in that batch.
Pond animals - 1463 KB, mpg movie.
This shows two crane fly larvae (the worm-like animals), a medium-sized green frog tadpole, and
a baby rosy red minnow (at the bottom near the end of the video).
On 2/6/07 around 5 pm, I took four videos of the 1800 gallon pond encased in ice. I was trying
to get an ideal video but none are that great so I put them all up. It was 7 degrees F that morning
so the pond is frozen solid except for the waterfall running, mostly under ice.
Frozen pond - 1397 KB, mpg movie.
Waterfall, facing northwest, then pans to the left to show the rest of the pond.
Frozen pond - 929 KB, mpg movie.
Main waterfall, facing northeast, then pans to the left to show the side waterfall.
Frozen pond - 2143 KB, mpg movie.
Waterfalls, starts at the top, goes down to the main waterfall flowing under partial ice tunnels
and then back over to the side waterfall.
Frozen pond - 896 KB, mpg movie.
Starts at the biofilter (top of waterfall) and pans down the main waterfall.
Glowlight Danios - 927 KB, mpg movie.
These are four new glowlight danios that I got on 1/14/07 swimming
around in my 20 gallon tank.
Rosy Barbs and Siamese Algae Eater - 1343 KB, mpg movie.
This video on 9/2/06 shows my tons of rosy barbs and one Siamese algae eater gathering in my 50 gallon tank in a group because
they want to be fed.
Bristlenose Pleco - 1143 KB, mpg
movie.
This shows my male albino bristlenose pleco on the glass in my 20 gallon tank sometime in July
of 2006. He was doing something neat with his mouth (sucking along) but I did not catch that on
video. You can mostly just see him breathing (yes, it is that exciting). Here is my bristlenose plecostomus page.
Pond - 1812 KB, mpg movie.
This is a video of the 1800 gallon pond sometime in April, 2006. I start on the fish (goldfish,
koi, and orfe are all seen) and then pan to the waterfall and then back to the right side of the pond
while I am facing east.
Goldfish Spawning - 1397 KB, mpg movie.
Goldfish Spawning - 1790 KB, mpg movie.
In April of 2006, I took these two videos of the goldfish spawning.
The actual egg laying part was not captured but you can see them chasing each other like mad.
The orfe can be seen swimming through as well only in the first video
near the upper right.
1800 Gallon Pond - 2928 KB, mpg movie.
I scanned the 1800 gallon pond on 3/18/06. The shot starts
showing the fish. The net blocks some of the clarity but if you look carefully, you can see my
koi, orfe, and goldfish. Then, I scan over to the waterfall which at the time had a lot of green hair
algae. Moss is all over the fall rocks. I still had the Rubbermaid tub lid on the biofilter which I
do in the winter. Then, I scan over to the marginal area (everything is dormant). Finally, I back
up towards the house so you can get a better overall view. I cannot wait to get a video when the
pond is in its full summer glory! By the way, the sound in the video is those horrible winds I
always mention in my newsletters!
Goldfish - 1469 KB, mpg movie.
My fantail goldfish in my 40 gallon tank are shown swimming
around on 3/18/06. My 14", decade old common pleco, Plecy, can
be seen hanging vertically from the back right corner of the video.
These videos were just tests, all done the same day. They were taken in 2004 with my
brother's digital camera which also does short movies. The first two have Robyn's voice
(saying dumb things!). These are not meant to be great.
Fishy Day - 985 KB, avi movie.
This video taken early 2004 is of the 50 gallon tank. There are
mostly rosy barbs swimming around.
Pond Brrrr - 988 KB, avi movie.
This video taken early 2004 is of the 1800 gallon pond frozen
mostly solid.
