Not NA natives, but there is quite a bit of species cross-over, and they're just fun to look at. This same person has a whole series of movies shot in both freshwater and marine environments in Ireland, I thought that folks here might enjoy them.

Pretty

Were those some kind of shiner and yellow perch? And what was that grayish thing that swam away suddenly? A carp?

The shiners look like Rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus.

The "grayish thing" looks like a Tench, Tinca tinca.

And the perch are European Perch, Perca fluviatilus.

Great pike footage.

I've really enjoyed all of the clips that I've seen on the "underwaterireland" channel. Some pretty cool stuff for what looks like a pretty small operation.

You might like shimadzu1984's videos. Although they are not a professional company like the video you linked to (I guess they're just a person with an underwater camera who likes to go around to streams on weekends and hop in), it's interesting to see what they find underwater.

Here is an example of one of shimadzu1984's videos:

Watching snorkeling videos is fun during the winter when I want to go explore my local waters but can't because it's too cold. I wish I knew of more similar youtube channels.

That is all very nice footage. The pike spawning video is REALLY cool, and I'm sure REALLY cold as well. I can't imagine diving into water cold enough for pike to spawn in. Also from about 0:58 to 1:01 in that video, you can see she has a nice couple leeches on her side.

Shimadzu1984's videos look very nice as well. Apparently swordtails seem to be doing very well in Japan.

Hopefully I will have some good footage to post later in the year. Looking forward to using my underwater camera.

When I was younger a friend and I used to snorkle in a few ponds and rivers when the water was clear and look at all the life there. Very cool experience. I remember one lake was covered with duck week but we went anyway. We came out covered head to tail with duck weed but loved the experiance of seeing the fish in their habitat. I wish I had had a camera back then to capture those times.

Very enjoyable, thanks for posting. Loved the 'Curious Perch' film.

And now for something completely different...

The determined and relentless termination of a destructive Non Native Fish introduced by careless fish farmers with permits.

Once you get over that... then type in Tangerine Darter Dream for our true native beauties and follow other awesome videos of Tangerines, Blotchside Loggies and a myraid of other species videoed by YouTuBrute, toddcrail and jrcfivideos.

Go Native.
