What a great pond for pima.

yeah that pond is sick, and I agree, a Pima is like the size of a small dolphin fully grown. Would you even consider keeping a dolphin in a home aquarium?

That is the best analogy I have heard for keeping pima.
It is always no they are too big they get 10' blah blah but I think more people would get it if they were told it is like keeping a dolphin.
You would obvi. need a heck of a lot more room for a dolphin because of the difference in energy levels but still good comparison.
