A friend took a picture on his cell phone of a 6" Paddlefish that was for sale ( Richmond, In. Jacks Aquariums - $29) which I thought was waaay cool for an aquarium but just had this wild hair shoot out of my butt and had to ask, what about putting in a pond?? anyone know if that would work? Other thoughts were, since they are a Plankton eater, if your aquarium had a good filter system, would they be able to survive?? anyone know any of there characteristics?, would they stay deep in a pond and never be seen? Like they do here in the Ohio River where the occaisional one gets snagged by catfisherman or guys throwing 4 oz jigs below the dams. I have heard but never witnessed one doing this but many have told me they see them surfacing on the big river at times so if they did that in apond, that would be pretty neat.

Always trying to work my way out of the box.......8^)
