TheGoldenDojo Fish Addict Posts: 575 Kudos: 559 Votes: 8 Registered: 04-Apr-2004	I'm thinking about building a small pond for one of these. Anyone have an advice, or stories? Please, if it is a torture session (AKA fishing) story do not post it. It hate sport fishing. It is cowardly and barbaric... [span class="edited"][Edited by TheGoldenDojo 2004-07-04 03:29][/span]

You may take offense to that sport fishing bit, but the truth is it is cruelty to animals. I mean, if they did that to cats or dogs, you'd be arrested. See my point? I don't see your logic with the 20,000g pond thing. The species ocellaris only grows to 24", besides tere wouldn't be anything else. I agree, they are one of the best looking freshwater fish.

It hate sport fishing. It is cowardly and barbaric... other than to cause an argument. Each to their own, end of story. Stay on topic please.
