I took the uv light out of the major fish pond because the water is super clear. I just have algae on the bottom, which I don't mind for a fish pond. The swimming pond has algae on the sides and bottom which we clean. I like just a little bit of free floating micro algae in the water because it helps hide the imperfections of the pool. It's only about 4 feet deep max.

I think that would be awesome! I would love to have this and swim with my fish
Here's a little savage drama in the other pond today. I caught two male not sure of their species, fighting for rights over a female. These fish are usually pretty neutral. Today they went crazy. I first noticed them because I saw their backs out of the water thrashing around. Then the dominant Guapote would come and settle things down. When he would leave the whole thing would start over again.
You can really see the root growth into the water from a couple of self planted trees growing on the stump I put in the pond.
While all of this was happening the turtle just stayed out of the way. I also noticed a Fiery Billed Aracari up in a tree. It's like a Tucan but smaller. This really made my day.
