My aunt and uncle have 3 or 4 of those really, really big fish tanks, at
least my arms reach wide and half my height tall. Some of their fish are
more than large enough for dinner. In fact, they have actually held fish
from the river in those tanks until needed for a meal. They used to pick
off all the caterpillers etc. in their garden to feed the fish. I couldn't
bear to watch but my little brothers looked forward to being 'allowed' to
find caterpillers in the garden and feed the fish.
Bonne
