I just watched 3 14-16 inch lmbs eat 40 small feeder goldfish, my two favorite sound kinda like arapaima when they suck something off the surface. My female has a wierd shaped mouth, like she's mostly head so it's really big and wide and she likes to eat mostly off the top so she'll get right under a frog or goldfish and i swear if you closed your eyes, you'd think i had foot long arapaimas in there:headbang2It took about a minute of them sitting around the edge of the crystal shelf and zipping in and sucking up a goldy, or three:ROFL: I come back from the waterfall section and the female's half outa the water in the shallowest part and sucking up a tiny goldy hahahahahaha

my hand looks giant because of the camera, they could eat my fingers no problem:D I also built a small kind of skimmer and covered it with a piece of slate and the way the wind blows and current flows, i rhymed lol, it blows all the things on the top into there for easy collection

very small pond there for laremouth bass..
 
it's 12x7x3ft deep, 1750 gallons, not that small lol, i still have to have the plants grow out to eat all nutrients to get rid of the algae bloom, rock in the filter (trash can), plant grass around the edges of the stream, and paint the cinder blocks, im thinking white, what do you guys think about black?

Do white and let them get covered naturally, would look better than black IMHO
 
pretty cool pond...a spotted gar and albino channel cat would be cool additions :)

and white would look good or maybe a light brown. You think about adding any water lillies to the pond for cover and color?
