clear plastic and had open ends where the fish could enter, then swim up at
a slight angle, then it would level back out, before heading back down the
other side. When the fish were at the top of the bridge (the horizontal
part), they were actually above the water line of the pond.

Basically, the bridge looked like this:

That store in Florida sold it for $100. I thought it was pretty neat and
couldn't find another on the internet tonight.\

Thanks, Scott

Scott,
Where in Florida were you? Do you remember the name of the pond
place? I live in FL and I'd love to visit it if it's anywhere around
here.

They sell a book to show you how to make your own, but as Ingrid said,
they're better suited for inside than outside. Algae can be a real bear to
deal with.

Might be fun for special occasions (parties). Even an old fishtank would
work. Immerse in pond, turn upside down, lift out until almost fully out.
Instant fish penthouse condo! Need a place to rest it on though...

Ahhh, you mean *this* DIY project?

Cool! Saw a pond this summer that had a large plexiglass sphere being
used as a feeder. You could watch the fish swim up to eat, then swim
back out.

DRAT! I have a link to that one, too - except I can't find it right now . .
.. They're all interesting, but subject to algae growth. Also, if the sun its
it, the water in the dome can be a lot hotter than in the pond. Fish can be
very stupid sometimes. The can get disoriented and stuck in there!
