    Now I only have one fish & a very large tank for a 17 year old Tambaqui (Pacu) named Stampy.

    Cichlids are territorial, but it makes them interesting in an aquarium. They do require some education as to which ones can cohabitate. I had a friend that had a ginormous Oscar. It recognized him and would come to him as he approached the aquarium. I figured it was because the Oscar was hand-fed.

    I had some Red-belly Pacus when I lived in TX that got pretty large. They were made illegal and I ended up having to destroy them when I moved (I wanted to find them a new home). Turned out that they could reproduce in the native waters and become an invasive species. They were the closest thing I've ever had to piranha in my aquariums.

    Wine and dinner at the lake this evening, Lefthand Reservoir at 10,649 ft. elevation, 24 minutes from the cabin. We watched fish jumping all over the lake and 3 bull elk feed across the tundra. With binoculars we saw three people sky lined on Niwot Ridge at dusk walking to some research cabins on the divide. They were on the horizon in the level area on the left side of the picture. Later we saw a group of elk at the same spot, cross over the divide from the west and move down the slope. Perfect weather, perfect evening.

    We stayed watching the elk until dark. Mount Audubon is the big peak to the right, Indian Peaks to the left. Pawnee Pass just left of center is where I took Bullwinkle last October.

    Yep. She has cute little teeth like a toddler, recognizes me like any pet knows & prefers it's owner & even does tricks for just me (not my husband). Her favorite treats are blueberries & hot dogs. Named her Stampy after Bart's elephant because she used to headbutt the other Tambaqui. Sadly we lost the other 2 (Forrest and Bubba) many years ago so she's all alone. She'll be 18 years in Dec., pretty freaking old for a pet fish.

    You've done well to have not lost that fish over 18 years.

    A bit surprised to see spotted ones this late in the season.

    Mrs bo and Reba nearly tripped over a doe and fawn while hiking State Forest state park earlier this week. Didn't get pics as everybody was too surprised by the situation. She said both looked very healthy and fawn still has some spots.

    Will post pics and video of moose later today.

    Much as I hate to do it, must give credit to CPW, Sate Forest state park is an all around great place to hang out.
