Hi, I'm Aiman, and in this video I am going to show you my dad's fish pond. It looks like there is no fish in the fish pond, but trust me, there is fish
it looks like this is water but
really it is actually ice
maybe in one of my future videos, I am going to show you
the fish in the fish pond
but for now I am going to show you
pictures from the past
[picture of the fish pond]
[a side view of the fish pond]
[picture showing deck on top of the pond]
[picture showing a few small yet]
[very colorful koi fishes]
[you can see some regular fin and butterfly koi fish in the pond]
[aquatic plants]
[the kois were very small in this picture - maybe 2-3 inches long]
[the kois are very big now, some are 12 inches long]
it took my dad 3 years just to build this fish pond, originally it was 3 feet deep in the ground. It was winter, and all the fish died.
my dad added 2 and half feet of concrete wall to the fish pond and it became higher
the total depth of the fish pond is 6 feet deep
it is about 18 feet at the longest point and it is about
10 feet at the widest point
the fish pond holds about 3,000 gallons of water, in all
the concrete wall is about 12 inches thick or 1 feet thick
as you can see that is actually a waterfall
but it's not hooked up so
and there is no water in it
and you can see there a filtration system. There is a river near the fish pond, so my dad
hook up the pipe and
and connect it to that
and make the water go up into that, then suck it up, and that is what the
filtration system is...You can see the green thing under the ice...uh..the green things are
actually plants that grow in the water and though the concrete...that is not
some people might think that may look
like a monster
but it actually just plants
the plants provide
natural foods for the fish
the water goes through this
pipe and
goes beneath the rocks
the the water goes up
and then leaves the dirt on the bottom
and the water [rock] filters the dirt
the water goes through the reservoir
and then it goes right in here, comes out through this hole in the pipe, and then when there is enough water, the water will come shooting out, and it will make the waterfall
there is a valve in the back of the waterfall to get the sludge out that was in the waterfall
as you can see
there is valve and there is
the pipe and that would take the sludge out of the trash bin
and down there
