my new VZ Hoplias aimara set up in his pond

[Mike King]

I set this guy up in a 300 gal rubbermaid stock tank for the winter. He is doing well with my pacu but did not like the RTC in with him.. RTC has been removed to another tank.. enjoy

the underwater video was taken with my Iphone 4s

Are you worried it could jump out? Nice set up, I would love to do a pond like that.

i took the temporary cover off to make the video! I have started making the permanent cover. It would have been much easier to cover this thing if rubbermaid had made a molded cover i could have used for the base!! round corners are a PIA too make it look clean.

The pond is working out mint!! I was surprised how tolerant the aimara is with the pacu having this much room. In my 180 i'm sure the pacu's would be in trouble.

You stuck a phone underwater? Special case? Sandwich bag?

The fish are beautiful.
