Take those water hyacinth plants out the pot and the roots will go to bottom and they will spread pretty quick and have a flower that blooms every couple weeks
I have a pond and I put water Hyacinth in it you just throw them in the water and they float and The Roots goes down and it gives the fish the cover and protection that they need you do not put them in pots they're not going to do what they're supposed to do they will spread and cover the whole surface of your pond because they are in invasive species of plant you cannot buy these water hyacinths in Florida but you can go out and get them in the wild which is what I do for my pond
I put the hyacinths in our pond and they took over, I just kept them thinned out by putting what I took out into the big sediment pond down the street and they multiplied and bloomed and were beautiful.
They float and multiply like crazy. Good for filtering your water as well. Leave them unattended and they will cover the whole pond. Lol. I used them in my bog filter above the waterfall for a koi pond. Also have some water lettuce. Also a fast grower. Just let them all float
@@karenmccollister9664 You can't buy them in Florida and they're also illegal to possess. $500 fine per plant if ya get caught. Not worth it, regardless of if you can go and get them.
#Daniel you don’t need ideas. You are great and full of wonderful all on your own.
You are inspiring 👋👋👋👋🛑
Maybe get some Lily pads I think the pool pond looks great
Yes!!!!!!!
Be sure not to get Lily pads, but water lilies. Lily pads will get very invasive and huge
Who says fish don’t have feelings ? Those are some Happy 🐠 Fish 🐟 💕
Pothos! Really the roots are the best thing for keeping fish water clean. Duckweed is good , and some Cabomba. All local to your area. This is fun to watch !
Cat tails anchored down with some heavy rocks work great at filtering water. I container garden, never used any filtration other than plants. Fish and plants make their own eco system. Algae is part of a pond. It's not an aquarium.
Duck weed is also invasive. You can also make a small floating island with plants and attach an anchor to keep it in place. It will give a deeper shade.
@@robertaborchardt9694 it can be. But this is a enclosed pond and is useful extra feed for the chickens and the 4 leggers the Goldfish will eat it like candy. So it’s not really a issue for the tin pond
Winter crone. I don't think you understood my suggestions. But that is okay.
Getting there boys 💪
Hi Greg!!!!!
Greg can u please help Houston with a pond it would makes for some awesome content make this little boys dream come true your pons are amazing I know you can help this family:)
@@soniahanley6605 they don’t want one that’s in the ground
You should go to there house
Hey Greg I am 13 years old and I rescue turtles and I want to know how to get aqua scape eco system
I love the idea of the pond I am getting ready to make my own
Tie some fishing line to them and then tie it to the rocks and they will stay in place.
To connect the you would need a cable connection from gopro to phone
@@traceywye6504 he was talking about tying the pieces of wood to the rocks so they don’t move around and float
Love the pool. Pond. Such a great dad and son time.
Great but you have to have a big area for your turtle to come out on because he has to sun himself and warm his body in the day time love the pond Houston
The pond is looking great!!
It's coming together nicely
Ha, I just don't know who is having more fun you or Houston!! Fun to watch so thanks for sharing!! Blessings ~Sidney Anne
Hey man y’all are my favorite people to watch keep up the good work
I enjoy watching Houston’s excitement over his fish pond.
I’m on a rode trip from Oklahoma to Florida I’m literally watching every single video- Houston is so adorable
If the water starts getting getting a brown tint! It will be the wood that you put in it, but that's a good thing! It is called tannins which will help keep the pH low and it's a natural antibiotic! There was someone suggested roots of a tree, that would be great!! Y'all stay safe!
Wow the pool pond looks amazing
That is one awesome fish tank! Wow
Dachshunds are actually hunting Dogs. They are used for Badger and Fox hunting.
We had one that would catch a pig.
lol 😂 I have 4 little doggies. One’s a Chihuahua/Jack Terrier, one’s a Shnauzer/Yorkie(Snorkie) and the other two are Dachshunds. One of my dachshunds is a scaredy-cat but the other three will catch and bring me anything. One night I caught them with a snake 🐍 one had it’s head, one had it’s tail and the other one had a hold on it’s middle. Most FUNNIEST and most TERRIFYING thing I have ever seen!!
I have 2 long-haired mini doxies both females. I got moles in my vegetable garden starting last season. The "hunter" doxie was too young last year but, so far this year, she's dug out, shaken and killed 3 of them lol. Just have to watch though because if they're near a tomato or pepper plant, she pretty much destroys that too!
she also was bit by a snake awhile back
Houston.....loved when u were young and had your curls, u were adorable.
Now I love that u have really matured as you tell us about your passion for your pond. Just absolutely love your enthusiasm and excitement.
I was really impressed with the first structure and I'm starting to wonder if Houston hasn't passed the "Aquarium Bug" onto you!!! Paul St Louis.
For sure! I'm trying to figure out who is having more fun with this thing; Daniel or Houston?! LOL
Good job👍👍
Love under water shots sooooo pretty.
I think he's passed it on to all of us. Now I want a pool pond too.
Don't think the apartment manager would like that though.
@@Nirrrina So, don't put the apartment manager in the pind! :)

Absolutely love the pond. It's come along way Houston. Good job.
Love to see how excited Houston gets when speaking about his pond. What a wonderful project.
Houston, Your fish tank look's great. Your doing a great job with it. I really enjoy watching your videos. Daniel, your a great role model, dad, husband and, friend. We need more like you. God bless, to you all. 😊
i put a galvanised mesh tube in for tiny fish, they can go in but big fish cant... as for the camera i use a clear glass square glass jar filled with a few rocks and then the go pro against the side of the jar inside, works ok for under water clips, but if you put it in the creak make sure you tie the jar to a large rock.... in the pool works good...
Cast net wold be awesome you never know what you will catch!!!
Good evening to Arms Family Homestead and all others too. Great to see you all again . Nice pool looks cool
Oh one rock looks like a bigfoot fossil! Oh man...that is sooo very cool! Love it! 22 works good on snakes
That’s one good pool pond
“Arms Underwater Theater”. Excellent!
OMG I was so afraid Gemma was going to get bite. That was scary. Pond looks nice
Me too! I kept saying "No Gemma! Back up! Gemma! No!"
Love the new "structure", and plants added. The plant on the turtle rock is beautiful! I think it's a new "hobby" for Dad~ Thanks for showing us process~
Floating net pots is what ya need to look into and water Lilly’s are nice to cover the water surface which will help keep the algae down. More water surface coverage slower algae build up.
I’m so invested in this tank man😂 You should seriously think about doing livestreams of the tank. I promise plenty of people will watch.
Have a good evening on the Arms Family Homestead
Loved every minute of this guys seeing Houston’s face is loving her know I’m loving seeing it I really hope Greg is able to come and give Houston the pond of his dreams let’s like this comment so Greg will see just how much Houston needs a pond to call his own 😍
That looks like the invasive Hyacinth, do not let any of it get into your creek !
Agree, please keep it well contained.
Amen brother.
Looks like they are contained..Raccoons or deer might help🤣😅😉
They won't over-winter here, too cold...
Not invasive in areas where it freezes.
The fish love your creations! Great ideas and covers. Daniel your so much fun for Houston and all of us.
I love Houston's enthusiasm to the pond. He really likes observing the fish and it's environment. He's got a nice little marine ecosystem going on. Maybe he will be a marine biologist when he gets older. Humm? He sure is bright enough! Food for thought.
The pond is coming along GREAT!
I would literally watch a live under water stream lol. Houston hey Earl where's ur snakes at 🤣
Depending on the size of the camera, you can use a glass or clear plastic tube with weights in the bottom and insert the camera to keep it dry. That should work and it's inexpensive. Just make sure the cap on the bottom end is waterproof. Hope that helps.
I like the way the pond is looking , y'all are doing a great job
This was my childhood dream.. Houston you are truly blessed.. Daniel your a good dad. A little bench, curved to fit beside it, my inner child would spend all day by it.. creek life is the right life for sure.. ☮💚😊
Not sure if anyone else said this but wifi runs on a Bluetooth connection and it doesn't travel thru water. Camera has to be hard wired in.
you should cut a hole in the tank the put glass over it then you can film out side but still be able to see in side
I want that pond/pool so bad! I'm definitely building one in the future. That water trough was exactly what we had as a pool when I was a kid 🤣
I love the pool pond! The underwater video is great. Thanks for taking the initiative take on this project and sharing!!!
Yes
Underwater views are GREAT!
Add a light over the top of it. Turn it on for a short period of time after dark to draw bug/food for the fish
Maybe you could add a plicosomous
Placo are tropical fish ..
@@aprilbishop-moore4729 I have had one on my non-tropical tank for almost 5 years? Its doing fine.
@@anonymousiscool8368 Just trying to point out it may not do well in Winter outside
@@aprilbishop-moore4729 that is 👍 true.
Makes me want to build a pond for my yard. Daniel you and DJ give your kids a life others wished they had. God bless you both
This is an excellent example of a awesome dad👍
I'm certain with a Momma bear behind the scenes keeping everyone mended 🙏
Gotta love the lil feller Houston.
Peace & blessings
I wonder who's having more fun with the fish pond, Dad or Houston?! Looks great 👍!
I really love the Arms family. It's so relaxing each time I'm viewing your videos. Houston is
a little boy with hard man sense. 😊
I put the stranded cored concrete blocks in my small pond,the hole openings are big enough for the fish to hide in.If you want bigger longer openings you can put two side by side .You can stack the rocks on top to hide them.I took a piece of plant root and anchored it down under the block to keep it in place.Those plants grow fast and can take over the pond,so you will have to cut some out as needed.Good luck with the fish❤️
I just think it is awesome that you are so engaged with your son and his hobbies
Show some live plants in there for air and allergy
The wood that you put into that tank is going to discolor your water. Might be best to use fake wood structure. That wood is porris and can hold parisights on it.
In lakes we put in cedar trees. There great for cover for your baitfish of course you'll have to downsize. You can't put a large tree in there. Just a thought.
I'm new here and just want to say thanks for all the great videos Houston and his family put out.I'm looking forward to watching that young man and young lady(Emmalee) grow up in paradise. please stay safe with everything that is going on right now. Kids being kids.
I'm really looking forward to have a simple small pond in the future love to see fish swimming, 😊
Luv the pond! Trying to find the pictures of the one I built for my sister- same idea plus a little more.
It's beautiful.
How about bringing an extender outside of the house for the go pro streaming.
essential oils or sprays or plant these plants smoke, cinnamon, cloves, onions, garlic and lime around the bottom of your porch to get rid of snakes
Wow I love your pool pond. Houston is having so much fun with his Dad and learning a lifetime of knowledge and not to mention how much fun Daniel is having. They say copperheads and rattlesnakes are "out there" this year, more so than usual so every one be careful! Let the Black snakes live!
Hey go to tractor sluppy and get a snake handel so you can relocate them or as jimmy houston where he got his from. He has 2 or 3 of them be safe walking a round in the creek Robert
Those rocks with lines might be part of a fossil.
Out of all the little series in this channel I love the Houston’s little ponds videos the most I click so fast on these videos
Ya love the underwater shots they are awesome and it is so good you and Houston have another activity to do together. Love the way your channel changes as your families dynamics change
Cut a small root ball off a tree and rinse it off and use that as structure. They work great.
I think I would be maybe a little concerned about them copperheads being close to the house and under my porch. Poisonous snakes that close to the house should be a big concern
I've had a pond for for years and those plants you put in will take over ,you'll have to think them out , love the pond
Hey, Arms family, and everyone else. It is amazing to see the progress and beauty in this pond of nature. One thing that can make the water also cleaner is if you do an aquaponics stand with green salad stuff and use the water pump currently to pump water from the pond to the stand and let it flow back to the pond. in this way, you have an amazing salad every day and the water will stay clean. Thank you for the content and keep making, love your channel and lots of love for the outdoors from Namibia.
That Houston is a dollbaby. “So she is a good dog.” (ie- See Dad…I knew it…I’m glad you do too now.). Oh my heart.
Bama Bass has some cameras in his pond like what your looking for.
I was just about to mention Bama Bass!
At the price of those minnows, you might want to start separate tanks to raise your own! The "pond" looks great!
The water hyacinths will multiply tremendously. Soon you will be removing them by the 5 gallon buckets full! They get huge with pretty purple blooms and long roots. The water lettuce also grows very fast! The pond is such a great project and we enjoy Houston's enthusiasm for his new pond and for rural life in general!! We love your channel and appreciate having wholesome Christian based content to enjoy! Thank you for all you do!
Could be just the other fish eating them but it's looking really good good job buddy
Huston totally needs a crappie
Love the pool pond and the structures in the pond. The fish are already making themselves at home. Love love the underwater video.
Hi guys. I am a newbie from Virginia. I had a gold fish pond once . The floating plant will really multiply. Had to start throwing away extra. Also, you can put a finger under water, wiggle a little. Once they get use to that. Gradually get closer under their belly. You can lightly rub, and they will go to sleep.
Lots of fun. I think they like it, because they will come running.
Daniel you are a GREAT MAN AND A WONDERFUL DAD!
Houston stop playing with that rope at the Creek. Please
Do you mean the swing Daniel made, I think it's a great idea 💜
@@traciek3946 yes
It’s called a rope swim it’s not like a rusty old rope 😂 wow what r u like 70. At least that’s what ur profile pic looks like lol

Houston's fish pond is really looking good. Keep it up guys.
Tank is looking good! Getting some dimension. Maybe add some more water plants to it, like lily pads, and maybe some frogs.
I love Houston’s enthusiasm!
#You must stop cleaning that filter. The collection of matter will create a natural balance in Houston’s fish pond.
I had a pet shop in the mid 70’s
How Awesome You Guy's 👍😁.
I Love You're Fish Tank/Pond❗😁.. I think I Love most however is the great time between a Dad & His Son💞💞💞..Fills My Heart up with Joy 💞😁.
#1 Is ARM'S FAMILY HOMESTEAD 💙💜😁✝️.
Natalie, from Michigan.😁
I don’t know who is having more fun Danial. You or Houston.
Houston's pawn is really looking awesome glad you were able to get some aquatic plants really looking forward to seeing how they take off
That pond looks great! Very enjoyable footage. Good job Houston!
I'm just thrilled that Houston finally has his pool pond! ❤❤❤
Thank you . Your showing younger dads how it do different things with your children. Love watching you and them doing things.
That moss rock is great for the top out of water for the turtle to sun on and he may eat the moss. Add another aerator for the tank and set it under another set of rocks or near it. Keep the water moving. Adding bacteria will help.
The lettuce and hyacinth are above water floaters. They get really pretty flowers. My pond I use a pool noodle or a piece of hose to contain the floating plants.
hi Arms Family, hi everyone " pond is starting
to look good great job Houston "!, :)
That already looks amazing and realistic
Absolutely love that fish pond. Best ever DIY pond. The GoPro footage is epic. My wife & I are Absolutely loving your channel, and we love the 4 shirts we've bought from you. Keep it up y'all...
Houston , What a great job on the pond , it's a wonderful project.You get a 5 Star salute....
The pond is looking great. If you want to anchor the plants to a certain spot use fishing line. It's invisible & will keep the plant in the general location you want them to put roots down in 👍
We had snails in our tank and they kept things really clean.
It's looking great guys! Fingers crossed the plants survive and thrive! 👍
I guess I we will have build the grandkids one of these. Love how Houston is so involved in this.
