    It took me a minute to realize what "Nat Geo TV" was. :) There aren't many fish shows on any of the animal type channels.

    No there isnt.... The bass show is teaching angling techniques, but they show why it works.... the snakehead show went over what we know of snakeheads.... great shows.... actually the bass show is on now!

    Oh really ? I didn't realize it was the whole US now. I'll have to set the DVR to record it.

    Not a fish to own.... again, like Pacu, Piranha, and many others, they take more tank than most would care to have.... even all of Nelsons tanks in one is not enough!

    Yeah, no kidding. I fed mine a frozen rat one time... He was about a foot and a half when I took him back the the Pet Club...

    I had no idea they found so many Snakeheads in MD..

    I loved it.... I just wish there were more shows about fish on TV..... its all that same cliche stuff "Dog Whisperer", "Its Me or the Dog". Dog this and dog that.... doesnt TV realize yet that there are other types of pet owners.... even reptile keepers have shows on TV from time to time.

    I have been looking forward to a show on the "pet fish" of the Amazon! I think that would make an AWESOME show! Too bad I doubt it will ever be made :confused:

    That is one of my dreams! Would be nice to make a few bucks back for the vacation.... the bugs scare me though :) Any bug that can EAT you cannot be good! I would still go if it were possible.
