Ben;

Your fish are prototypically too large for your layout.  I can take them off your hands if you'd like.Whistling [:-^]

BTW, nice layout.

Nice FEEEESH....Benny,

So you say you've had'em since 97 ??? I put just some two bucks a dozen fish in my pond as an experiment about six, or eight months ago they are about four to five inches long now. I hope they continue to survive and they look like Koi's now....

my rail road is not fancy , but i like flowers in mine , i started out small in 1997 and added some things each year, it's over 180 ft. of track now and i have about 30 ft. of track for replacement if i need to . good luck with your rail road .  Ben
