    I'm curious also Vera. Considering mine hover around the bottom at night I can see fin damage may occur.

    Jerry, as always, pics are in order!

    i might have to get in on that pool. i've read some disaster stories about these critters catching fish and either injuring so badly that they die or they nip the crap out of the fins.
