This brings back a lot of fond memories. They could indeed hurt you with their fins, but I don't know if they were venomous or just sharp. Are you planning to catch them to eat, or just keeping them as pond pets?<BR/><BR/>Great video!

I've never had a problem in posting to the embedded comments on anyone's blog. And I actually tested the embedded comments for this blog in different browsers and didn't experience a problem. Of course I can't test it under some of the different 'Comment As' selections since I don't have accounts under some of them. <BR/><BR/>Actually I find it a bit easier than opening a new window or tab, but that is neither here nor there if other people are having problems commenting here on this blog. I will try to do a bit of research on the issue to determine what the problem may be.<BR/><BR/>BakerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887611572204446516.post-61155667048505721712008-10-29T15:08:00.000-04:002008-10-29T15:08:00.000-04:00I tried 4 times to post a comment and now I am try...I tried 4 times to post a comment and now I am trying with internet explorer.
