    Wink How to catch a wild heckel without a net ;)

    The video quality sucks, and sorry about the background - that's Ember making all the noise. She gets jealous even when I pet the fish
    All my heckels will do this, but for some reason they were camera shy except for the little one. The other wilds, of course, think the heckels are crazy

    The only painting I do is little red spots on tefes
    If you look you can see my dirty fingernails from doing an oil change on the truck and waterlogged from spending the whole morning working on the tanks before I took the video!!!! OOOOPS - don't be callin' in the SPCA for mis-treatment of fish They eat dryer lint from my fingers - they are pretty tame.

    LOL @ Ember!!!
    My dog always tries to box me out whenever I'm heading toward any of my tanks.
    He'll whimper & bark when I have my hands/arms in the tanks too.

    I was afraid there was going to be an oil slick on the water surface I'm not even going to touch the manicure reference

    Wouldn't that be AMAZING???? We used to scoop salmon out of the creeks in Northern Ontario with our bare hands, but somehow I don't think that would compare It would be pretty awesome to see wild discus in their natural environment. Maybe one of these days
