From what I have gathered she is expressing all the air so she can stay on the bottom....rob

Hey Rob.
When you get her settled in, are you gonna consider putting a fish in the pond to see if she will go after it?

that is so neat, i heard they could swim and catch small fish, but never actually seen it.
and don't say she is mean:embarrassed: , admit it - you love it!!{D

i just wish i could do tanks like that. i might break down one day and try to make a neat tank setup - after i get some tanks that i can lock up.

Working on the new tank now...should be done in an hour or two. There will be a lot of wood surrounding the pond so I don't know how well anyone will be able to see her swimming/fishing but I'll be shooting some video just in case.

The pokie tank is still a plan of mine but due to the expense of that many pokies ($8-10K), it's going to be a little while before I can do it but I'm still planning on it...
