Screenshot of the FishCam taken on September 5, 2020. You can see the date in the lower left corner of the screenshot.
While working on the Netscape web browser in 1994, Louis J. "Lou" Montulli II built the Fishcam, one of the earliest live-image websites. Netscape hosted the Fishcam until long after they were no longer Netscape. After a short hiatus, in 2009 it found a new host. When this note was written in May 2009 the Fishcam was operational and remained one of the longest nearly continuously running live websites; when I checked again in September 2020 site was still running, and with new fish in the tank.
