From Jon Gerber's store (along with 8 RTC and 7 pacu).
Took everything out of my Dodge Grand Caravan past the front two seats, all the hardware to expose just bare body. Threw a carpet in there for an underlayment and a rubber liner. Screwed right to the minivan body with metal self-tapping screws. This produced a ~8'x4' "pond" on wheels, at 1' depth that was ~200 gal of water. It was a funny drive, when 200 gallons of water (~1600 lbs) slosh in your minivan it rocks strong left and right and front and back. 30 hours one way...
Paroons were not in a good shape, malnuritioned badly for years, roughed up a bit too. About 1.5'-2' each. There were six. Some went belly up during the trip but amazingly made it and rebounded in 4500 gal. They were figuring out the dominance order for a rather long time and it was violent too. I think this coupled with their great skittishness resulted in losing two of them - first after some months, the second after a year or so. They probably hit their head, sank to the bottom, where anything like that is treated as feed and shew toys by RTCs.
Anyhow,m these 4 have been ok since then. One is clearly the biggest but they have been growing mostly in girth.
