Heres the first bit of video to give anyone thats interested a bit of an idea about what happens in and around our pond.

Apologies for the quality of the video which has suffered due to being uploaded to Youtube, but hopefully it will still give you a general idea.


Here is the Youtube Link:

What kinds of fish are those hitting the bait at the surface? I don't recognize any... Nice pond too!

The underwater cam is awesome....

How big are those Loaches? They look monsterish.

 

[barratoga]

thanks conner, the fish are barramundi and the smaller ones that are flitting around are mullet.

 

[barratoga]

Thanks Muske... There is about a dozen loaches in the pond, ranging in size from approx 8cm to 25cm. we see more of them out feeding during the hot summer months. ..cheers.

Wow I live in hawaii and there are mullets in the canals here. I know they are brackish water here but are the mullet purely fresh water mullets or did you have to convert them?

 

[barratoga]

Hi Fatmantechno, Thanks for your interest...The mullet in the vid have been converted from salt water as has the mangrove jack. We have had the mullet for about three years and they come from clear saltwater.
