Thanks for the compliments, I do love to be in that pond almost as much as my Lab mix (actually she drives me nuts when she jumps in there)
The camera is a linksys WVC200 it has both wired and wireless capability internal and external voice, will take pictures or videos. it will send a live feed or e-mail you pictures. Good stuff all and all. I have them mounted in bird houses with clear Lexan fronts. I like it. wife thinks I am crazy
trust me I like my neighbors they are all great and kind people, I would not want to see any of them skinny dipping in my pond. Catfish might mistake the wrong thing as bait and then we would probably have a lawsuit on our hands.
Guess that answers the Koi question as well, there are to many native fish, koi just end up as bait that is unless I find somone who wants to part with some big ones.
I cannot wait for the water to warm up a little more to get those lilies up off the bottom and give the other Water plants the cue to grow up and out. Then I will get these in there and if joyce is correct those Colorados will get the party started!
