How does that work?

I just showed some pictures and videos of RTC and TSN, and she likes em. And I told her that's why i've been nagging her to let me build a pond. And then she turns to me and asks, with a thoughtful espression on her face, "what size pond?" I was like, huh? did I hear you right?

I wonder how that works, as she is having reservations about letting me set up a 2' planted, haha. WTF

So, might have an RTC and TSN pond in my backyard soon

Is it a good thing or a bad thing when your parents take a likeing to rediculosly huge fish?

She's probably not picturing the same sized pond in her head as you are in yours!

Indeed thats good, you could keep some illegal red belly pirahna and your mum won't care

lol very true.

thats the same tactic i take, i just get the fish FIRST and then she likes them lol

But it's good that she likes em now, so will like em better when I get it. They have personality too, and you can pet em

My mum liked the look of some of the big fish when i was younger too, didn't mean she was happy for me to have them! I think after the 5000gal Koi pond they were anti anymore fish!

I'd have loved to, but it just gets too cold in winter to put them outside here.

Making up for it now though, big cats are addictive! and when you're old enough that you don't live with your folks anymore then you can get as many rtc, tsn, hybrids, perruno, etc as you like and don't need to ask permission for more ponds or tanks! Just have to try and wait it out if she won't go for it.
