The Amazing Underwater Green Glowing Fish Attracting Light
The system plugs into the GFI Outlet on your dock. A box is mounted nearby which contains the circuitry and photocell. A wire is run from the box, and out to the water. The light is weighted to the bottom of your waterway. When the sun goes down, the photocell activates the system and the light turns on.
Within minutes, microscopic creatures called zooplankton begin to home in on the green light source, very much the way insects are drawn to outdoor lighting. Small fish soon follow, attracted by the zooplankton. Each link in the food chain is followed by the next, over minutes and hours.
The water around the light will actually become foggy with the swirling masses of copepods, small shrimp, and other microorganisms. Large baitfish schools (species dependent on location) will actually learn the location of the light and show up night after night to feed.
This behavior is mimicked by predator fish who soon learn that easy meals can be found in the shadows surrounding the glow. Within a few weeks, your dock will be a regular feeding station for the local fish populations.
All this unfolds right before your eyes, and from the comfort of your own home. Watch as predatory fish slash their way through schools of baitfish, or suck shrimp from the surface right in front of you.
Tiny aquatic creatures are attracted to the light, and form the basis of the underwater food chain. Baitfish and predators soon follow.
While the microorganisms will find the light immediately fish generally begin to arrive within the first three nights. Your location has a lot to do with what species you can expect, but almost all waters hold more life than you might imagine.
While the list of species that show up in the lights is much to extensive to list here, a few common visitors include. . .
