After seeing Embi's pics of Dicko swimming in the fish tank, I thought perhaps we could do with a whole thread on the subject. OK, who has been swimming in their fish tank???

A couple of weeks ago I decided to dip my foot into the tank because it had been such a damn hot day. What the hell, may as well jump the whole way in...

Come on, it's beautiful in here...

The 500 gram barra give you a fright when they rub against your bare legs, even though you know they are harmless... Even Joker was tempted to jump in.

Crackers and dip floating nearby was a nice touch, and the vista was pretty good.

I have been swimming, mostly for practical purposes, in each of my IBCs, and my pond on many occasions; usually I wait for the hot days though. Definitely no photos of me without much on appearing on here. NO WAY, I'd be banned

I'm too scared to jump in with the big barra maybe the goldfish in the sump would be gentler on me.
