Have U missed your fishies lately?

Vidar-Alexander's pond has been entombed by snow

Circa 12,000 miles away from Vidar-Alexander, Jonnie's pond also has been entombed by snow.

Vidar-Alexander and guys, have you missed your fishies during snowy winter? I surely have missed them daily. That why whenever I can, I love to peek, spy-cam them and share the photos with you guys.

Note: Fishies are 3 feet under the water covered & protected by the plywoods, tarp, and snow.

How to spy-cam the fishies

Hi Johnnie...long time. I missed seeing your fishes, and for that matter seeing mine too. What are you using to get the pictures?

Boxer, Greetings! you've been away from here for such a long time...we are going to call in the U. S. Marines to search for you at your hometown, USA . To answer your question, I've used these gadgets:

A strong flood-light and a good zoomming camera.

Boxer, just for you and my fellow ponders, I spy-cammed more pics for your perusal and enjoyments:

Air for fishies

Great photos! Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering if fish could suffocate under a netted pond fully covered with snow (I do have a bubbler and donut heater running under my 8' x 11' pond).
I guess this shows that they do fine even being covered 100% by snow?

Comet, thanks for your kind words. Here are my tricks to give air to fishies:

1) I use the stainless-steel-drum to "build" an air-dome at the center-peak of the pond. Note that the pond is covered & protected by plywoods and the tarp.

2) My pump circulates water into the drum to mix water with air. When the water is returned from the drum into the pond, the water is oxygenated for the fishies . Pictures are better than 1,000 words. Pics are provided to aid your understanding of my tricks.
