ummm like 2-3 month?
 
wow i just read all 26 pages man.
ballin' ass tank and ponds.

sorry to hear about your pimas :( that sucks man.
you said you ordered more, yes?
when do you get them?

i know alot of fish i REALLLYYY want to keep, i usually have trouble keeping alive the first few tries then BAM! I finally get one that works.
i literally spent over 200$ on red terrors before i finally got one that lived!
maybe your just having the same bad luck i did haha.

you should try some dovii and umbies in your pond. both get big, have amazing color and can hold there ground against everything youve got in your pond haha.

also, you should try mixing garlic with the food while training them to eat. its a stimulant and most fish will readily start eating food shortly after being introduced to it. thats what i used to do to my fish a few years back and it seemed to work.
