Theo, my dad's horse was also a geld too and just 5 years old.

Since we are talking about electricity and fish I need to tell you a story from when I was still 14 years old. A friend and I had gone down to a nearby creek to seine minnows for bait, well we got a months supply worth on that outing. So when we got home we set up an aquarium areator and air stone next to the tank to keep them in. Well the next day I went out and the dang pump had vibrated off the shelf and had fallen into the tank. All of the minnows where behaving normally so I stuck my hand into the retrieve the air pump. Boy was I "SHOCKED" when my hand hit the water as it was still plugged into the wall. The funny thing is the electricty didn't seem to bother the minnows at all. That day I learned never to assume that circut breaker had kicked the juice off on its own.
