Into The Wild!

Last Friday Steph and I released my big chichlid into the wild at the pond in the Benson science building. You see my fish is an aggressive African chichlid and he got so big that he killed everything else in my fish tank and anything that we put in with him he killed even fish of his own species if they were smaller. Fish his size are hard to find and really expensive, so instead of flushing him we found that there were chichlids in the pond in the Benson building. So Friday night around 10:00 P.M. we snuck into the buidling and put him in the pond with the other fish. there are some bigger than him and some smaller so he fits right in. Here are some pics of the realease.


He measures around 5"

We smuggled him in my back pack,
just after we put him in a security
guard came around the corner.
Here he goes into his new home. It was
either this or the toilet.

Just me saying good bye.

Here he is in his new home.

Does he have any pebbles to pick up and spit out?
