Whoops, must have missed these posts, lol.
Thank you very much. :)
And I would go too crazy with the Oscars, lol. I'd say 3 maybe 4 at the most. ;)

Check out this email I just received. :FIREdevil:
"Hi Brady
You took in a fish from me about a year ago or so & now my Dad has a paco fish (actually 2) that are out growing his tank which I believe to be 180 gallons. He's afraid there going to break the tank. I'm guessing the fish to be about 20 inches give or take a few inches. He's very big! Anyway would you be able to take him? I've called places like Milwaukee Zoo & they have too many now to take in another. I just thought i would check with you to see if you could take him in or knew of someplace that could. He's so big that people would enjoy seeing him.
Thanks for your time
Amy"

Looks like I've got two )v(onsters on the way. :o (And she spelt Pacu wrong, but w/e :))
She was the one with the Tilapia, if you look back at that.

Thank you very much Maribeth! :)
I'm hoping to have everything done soon. And I'm also hoping that it will look a lot nicer, lol. But I'm trying my best with the project, and I guess that's what counts. :D

You are very welcome!! It is what counts!! You are doing the best thing possible for these fish, and even it it LOOKS ugly, it is still pretty awesome, and I think everyone here and your fish will think so too!!!

Thanks again Maribeth. :)
Got an update; bad news, good news, and a crazy idea.
Good news; the pool has been doing well, and everyone seems to be doing fine!
Bad news; it's just a temporary setup.
Crazy idea; someone is helping me out by hopefully getting a 200-Gallon tank donation. Hopefully I will have better news on that soon.

AND a new rescue! Got this big guy a few days ago.
He is a 20"+ Pacu, and was kept in a 180-Gallon tank with another large Pacu. This guy was getting harassed by the other, and the owner was afraid that they might break glass of the tank. Any marks shown on the Pacu was from hitting the top of the tank.
"Hell, they're cute when you first get them at three inches, but that changes real quick, haha."
Nice guy, knew what he was dealing with, no disrespect to him. He was actually the father of the woman that dropped off the Tilapia b.
The Pacu is now the largest fish in the pond, and Bruce does not like that at all, lol. He likes to follow the Pacu, along with his girl; a WC female Oscar. Both being WC, they seem to follow each-other around a lot. The two biggest Oscars in the pond.

Enough talking, lol, pics! (Only one turned out fairly decent; the camera hasn't been taking the best photos since I dropped it on the floor...
