It's a freshwater Amazonian manatee, comes in the pond with the property I'm going to acquire. Don't know how long it has been there, or how it got in the pond, but the property owner said it has been there when he purchased the property, and the owner before him said the same...

Holy crap, what do you feed something that big?

Its food source is the Mayan cichlids that live in the same pond (divided)

Did you buy SeaWorld?

Not Sea World, but close to it, a bit south of Sea World

You're on the VIP list for house warming party

that manatee is awesome! correct me if i'm wrong, but manatees are herbivores.

That's what I read, but then the owner told me that he keeps the cichlids for the manatee food source. I've been doing some reading and research in order to give him the right care/husbandry. Worst case, I'll give Sea World a call...

Manatees are strictly hardcore herbivores.
