We found out later when the tidal river was low it was always under a particular tree. Guess who tied up there every day for a week to have lunch. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I hear they attack & then back off before attacking again, whereas I think a crock bites & hangs on while dragging you to deeper water?

Gone_Troppo Enthusiast Posts: 285 Kudos: 196 Registered: 13-Mar-2007	Actually, crocs preferring rotten meat is a total myth. Rotting food has the potential to make them quite ill. What you will find is that the clever critters will occasionally horde food and let it rot, thus attracting more and more animals / fish / scavenger species to partake of a free feed. The crocs then sit back and wait for the food (in the form of live animals) to come to them. G_T Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
