    Natural Swimming Pools. I'd like one with arowanas, but I'll think twice about skinny dipping though.
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    Ah how I wish I could have something like that... Then again I don't really like the idea of washing daphnia out of my hair...

    Well, if you swim in the sea, you will need to washing plankton off your hair anyway... Or dead bacterial from swimming pools...

    Point is I'm not so AWARE of it now am I? unless I go skinhead... -grin-
    But I always wanted something similar to that. Except I wanted one of the sides to be glass, that way I could have a "viewing gallery" in my basement. All I have to do now is make a few million dollars...



    I'm a sucker for huge tanks...

    Well you could try getting 2 conservation home in little india for like $400,000 each, knock down the adjoining wall and use the shell of the second house as a kind of indoor pond... Saw a guy in blair road doing that. Cept his is a pool.

    I think it'll cost you slightly less than a million? That's quite possible I guess. It's my plan anyway

    Actually it's something like 40mm... haha, wonder if bullet proof glass will be cheaper... But yeah, it'd be a damn cool basement. You could probably breed aros in there. Imagine the money you'd make if you rented it out
    And the hell you'd have to go through to get the fish out again...

    40mm only? Not scared the water will flood the basement?

    Anyway, if you are REALLY breeding aros, I am sure there are ALOT of people dying to help you catch... Esp if you offer a baby for each helper at the end of the season... Maybe Vinz might be interested also... Haha...

    Ah... But this is all just a dream... Good luck in trying to fulfill your dream!

    LOL, free labour... 2 babys for whoever cleans my toilets But probably not. I always thought they were overrated fish(prepares to get flamed). The only time you get rich from your arro is when you sell him...(puts on flame-retardant suit) Though that WOULD be the general idea...

    Think it also works because of it also uses terrestrial plants as nutrient absorbers... Anyway, you STILL have to prove it by completing the project when you are settled down...
