^^ That fish is a goner.

Another brilliant live stream. This one of a cichlid tank.

[bobo746]

^ Love those vids.

[misskit]

Not vids! Live stream. I love them too.

(Sometimes I leave the live streams on and just take a peek every now and again. Saw a Cape water buffalo fight on the South African Safari stream the other day. LIVE.)

That's decided me: I won't get a huge fish tank, just a big screen and hook it up to the live feed. A bit of careful surrounding carpentry and lighting, and it should look real.
No maintenance, turn it off if I go away...brilliant.

^ Yeah. Live stream safari and wait day after day without seeing anything exciting happening. Just like real safari! Much cheaper, too.

Shark kills Australian kitesurfer in New Caledonia

A WEST Australian man has died after he was bitten by a shark while kitesurfing in New Caledonia yesterday.

It is the second fatal attack in the South Pacific territory in just six months, officials said.
“The man in his 50s was kitesurfing inside the reef at Koumac. He fell and was bitten,” Nicolas Renaud, head of the archipelago’s marine rescue co-ordination centre, told AFP.
The unidentified man from Fremantle on Australia’s southwest coast was out with several other people on a catamaran, who raised the alarm.
A rescue boat was sent to help but emergency crews were unable to save him.
“He suffered a deep bite to the thigh from a big shark. We don’t know for the moment what species it was,” Renaud said.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said consular officials are assisting the man’s family,.
“The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian man who died off Koumac, New Caledonia, on 6 September,” a DFAT spokeswoman said.
“Out of respect for the privacy of the man’s family, we will not be making further comment.”
It is understood the man was on a 10-day holiday when the attack occurred.
The man was brought back to the port of Koumac where he received medical treatment however he went into cardiac arrest and died, Today reported.

BTW ... I live on a Fish Farm when I'm in Thailand.

I'll hunt through the old pics and post a few here.

I hope videos are allowed also?

Must be a big pond on your fish farm, where is it?

Btw, I wonder why the Fish hasn't posted on the fish thread?
