I have a great story for you guys. As I was feeding my Guapotes the other day, like usual the little painted turtle comes out to get some scraps. The Guapotes are about 5 lbs. now and the turtle is about the size of a small hand. When I first put him in there I was worried that he would get eaten but he some how survived. The turtle grabbed on to a piece of liver that was about half of the size of his body. He knew darn well that he was looking for trouble in this feeding frenzy. Sure enough one of the larger Quapotes struck at the liver. As he did he engulfed the liver along with the turtles head. Good thing that the shell was too large to fit in the fishes mouth. I expected the turtle to scurry away with fear. Well that was just enough to seriously piss the turtle off. Not only was he hungry but also embarrassed. I figured he'd find another piece of liver as I continued throwing in the water. The turtle made a B-line over to the shadows where the large Guapote was enjoying his meal and rammed him in the side. The Guapote took off and the turtle returned to the feeding frenzy. Now that a turtle with and attitude.

Black worms look like black fly larve. Harmless but gross. If you can, throw the rocks the are attached to and watch the fish clean them off. My goldfish love them and they a good protein source for them. The snails can be treated with some loaches....

TUG. Seriously! The world's largest captive shoal of Loaches in your pool! That would blow my mind wading through them & watching them tumble & dart as a big group...
Spectacular pond build. The pics are fantastic. You really have done yourself proud. Thanks for sharing this project with us.
Lets see some pics of the fish.
