New Addition to my aquarium

Like my new fish???

Sorry, I thought it was a nice pic...

My wife took this pic of me, my son and the killerwhale at Marineland in Niagara falls. I am going to post all of the pics in another thread sometime next week. Some really nice shots. I made a similar motion with my hand that the trainer made when he fed them and this guy kept coming right up to me and my son when I did the same!!

lol, thats funny, your gonna need a bigger everything. Keep an eye on your nitrates, I hear they can be a killer.

And I probably shoud add about 65000 pounds of LR as well???

Although I think keeping fish in an aquarium is ok I really think these mammals are best viewed in the wild and should be left there. The Killer Whales seemed really depressed\sluggish and even though the tank is like 65000 gallons it is nothing comared to their natural habitat.

Not to sound like a tree hugger but that is just my opinion.

When I lived in Victoria BC I used see them travelling in pods in the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful.

I agree, somethings shouldn't be captured. Like dolphins (my fav animal in the whole world) whales and a bunch of other BEAUTIFUL animals.
