Ares hunting the prawn. Once again it is really hard to determine the size of the prawn in the pictures. ;)

Hey I aint too far from there. Im near more of the Owensboro area. So we small country town folks know the greatest fishing spots :D . Btw, so where did you get the fahaka and his set-up from anyways? Somewhere here in the Bluegrass State? I know alot of fish breeders here in Ky are mostly in Bowling Green and Louisville areas.

I live in Texas now. My family is just from KY. I actually lived in a little town called Vinegrove. I actually got Ares from another member who posted in classifieds here.

The prawns are crazy looking! I've tried to figure out what type they are and haven't had any luck.

Oh your from Ky., ok got ya. I thought you bought that fahaka from a near by hobbyist.

And for those prawns, I think a member here has an invert website that might be able to help.
