i did think bout it scott.. but was very skeptical bout the whole thing.. didnt want to take chances.. we did unpack a wall that was built to put in a viewing pane.. then when i explained to the guys working on the work involved they put the wall back up.. there will be glass on the walls but purely no water contact..

great.. i gotta, well i have started dreaming about my next pond.. so prob in that one(thats gonna take a good 6 or 7 yrs).. i've been offered a 2.5 ft Pima at a bomb of a price.. around 900 usd roughly.. but this will def not hold him for long,if i get it, and i'd prob have to live off fish bones all my life feeding these monsters..

if you live neer a fishable river/lake go catch your own food. it is cheaper and better for your fish. i do this and my fish love it. i would/will be getting some pimas if/when i have the space. i love pimas. most are going to get to around 5-6' maybe 7' in tanks/ponds. they could get bigger, but most of the debate on that is using old fish records, most of the newer fish that get caught, farmed arn't much bigger then that.
