I try.helpful Dan... very helpful.... lol
This is at a public aquarium in Milwaukee. At 120,000+ gallons it was truly awesome. My cousin had her wedding reception there, it was really, really cool.
these fish are cool but ive never seen anybody keep one and i think they get really really big which creates a problem
When I was at University of Missouri this summer for research work, a biologist who dedicated his life to paddlefish took me down to the basement and showed me his indoor pool filled with juvenile paddlefish. I fed them and they even let me pet them. The reason behind his research was that their neurons are actually extremely similar to ours in that they are very highly developed evolutionarily for fish, and apparently we can learn a lot from them. He was telling me that they get difficult to keep alive after about two years and almost 3 feet in length.
where the hell do they come into holland from? i thought all american native stuff was poss invasive in eU and banned for import from source? 
i'v heard whispers and seen a few, well 5 young come in to the uk via germany couple years back... that must be where diskusman where sourcing the ones on there lists at teh same time... interesting.... i have a pretty good idea of how one would go about keeping them successfully just also understand the setup costs of the required system as well as maintenance costs...
Gr Jeroen you have a friend request incoming, where in holland are you? im over there a lot!
