It's probably best that tons of people don't know about it.. Someone would probably catch and sell everything they could.
It's a tough secret to keep, but it's a good idea to keep it! |

Well, we went back Monday and it was a blast. No one seemed too interested in more pics plus Walgreens was closed when we went by in the morning before we left so no underwater camera and I didn't take as many pics. We saw the usual Africans, Koi, Goldfish, unidentified fish, guppies, and convicts. I looked everywhere for the oscar but could not find him.
The new fish we found via our snorkel (which was amazing!!) were firemouth cichlids, a very large pleco and quite a few swordtails. It was great fun. Here are some pics. The huge pleco we saw!  My buddies hand a couple of feet in front of him to show size  The best pic I could get of a firemouth:  An African we brought home (in my friends tank)  Well, thats about it of any interest. I desperatly tried to catch a firemouth but they and all of the other fish were extremely nervous. We only caught about 17 fish with a big circular chicken wire net, and we usually get three times as much. (Don't worry we pic through them and bring home two at the most) We also plan on releasing a few different types of fish back into the pond. We think so many people (locals) stop by and feed them that they were not too desperate to be baited in by us. Well, that about sums up the trip... a lot of fun. |

I think you need to invest in an underwater camera
But seriously, you could get one of those disposable ones somewhere. You know, the old fashioned kind with "film"...

You know, the old fashioned kind with "film"... I will, I will. I am a cheap person...  But I was going to buy one but Walgreens was closed... I'm pretty sure I mentioned that in my post. Plus I can't give everyone all the good stuff at once now can I??

I've been to something like this. Only it's not secluded, and it's full of nude old people
 . I wouldn't take a camera there, and I wouldn't take any fish home from there...
