Im going to build an 800-1000 gallon aquarium in my home and let them come live with me for while...When I thinks its time I will go release them in one of the ponds by my house so not to stress them out for another big boat ride back to the lake. I can get all the pix and videos I want, show my friends and family and then set her free later.....Whatcha think???

When I strike it rich, I'm having the guys from TANK come and build a huge aquarium for inland freshwater species. Can't wait! LOL>

I almost put a tank in my barn, actually had bought one, after seeing how much maintenance was involved I sold it, a swimming pool is bad enough to take care of.

Great idea. Except I believe it is illegal to transport a fish from public water to another public water or private. I believe it's only legal from private to private Bit it sounds like a cool idea. Just keep one as a pet and fees him crappie and white bass

Stop maintaining the pool which will lower your overall maintenance time and expense. When the water develops a nice shade of green, start stocking it with bass and bluegill. Sit on pool deck and fish a way!

You can go public to private. Just not public to public so as not to spread disease etc.

Believe me I have thought about it, the wifey was not too fond of it though. I almost put a tank in my barn, actually had bought one, after seeing how much maintenance was involved I sold it, a swimming pool is bad enough to take care of. I got it! Stop maintaining the pool which will lower your overall maintenance time and expense. When the water develops a nice shade of green, start stocking it with bass and bluegill.
