    I had a lab/dane mix that was terrified of riding in the car when I got him at 3 months. He became obsessed with riding..if he got out when we were leaving, we'd have to drive him around the block because we couldnt drag his big butt outta the van. Btw we had to buy a van cause his big butt outgrew the car :-p

    The lfs by me has $2 baby koi.I usaly get some white or gold or combo of each.With the fishline around the pond have been actually growing instead of replacing.Stopped in for some tadpoles and waterlettuce/hyacinth,and grabbed five of these.They're mostly black with gold/yelow.The pics stink and seem to make them look the reverse,but they're darker,and in the sunlight look like fish outlines swimming around.Actually pretty cool.Think I'll go back and grab somemore during the week.m_picture 29 024.jpgm_picture 29 025.jpg

    Yeah,and I picked up some 100gal stock tanks from Josie.I usally keep the fish outside,but 2 years ago a blizzard overwhelmed my heat discs,so I bring in the biggest and smallest fish now.Had them in 2 40gals,but those have had discus in them this summer.Going to put the stock tanks in the garage.It's attached,and now with a new door,dosent go below freezing.

    That last picture was the one I was looking for. Looks like they're all buttoned up for the winter.

    Suggest using your bathtub and see how long it takes you to get a second one.

    I would love to get big containers like that for growing out cichlid fry in my garage. I'm just not sure how I'd refill them or heat them efficiently in the winter.
