So eventually I had to buy a rc sub, I can't tell you the name of it without digging it out, but its kind of a tubby little red sub about 5 inchs long with a motor pod sticking out on each side about in the middle. I think you turn it off and on by the periscope possibly?

Well one day I am driving it around the tank, and there are some big fish in there, silver dollars about 5 inchs tall, big catfish and my huge Frontosa's they are sort of like a 1-1.5 pound large mouth bass. Some of the fish were coming up real close after awhile and checking it out, I was driving it around chasing them some, and them chasing it...I started following around the biggest male frontosa, and he is not sure what to think of it, a couple times i idled up so close it almost touched him, then out of the blue he attacks it ! he grabbed the entire motor pod on one side deep in his mouth and he just starts shaking it back and forth,, this thing is kinda heavy and he was moving it 4-5 inchs back and forth, he would have killed the crew for sure ! then he literally spits it out and swam away ...It was so funnyI wish I could have gotten video.

The other real fun thing to do was trying to drive the sub through some holes in the rock leaning against the back of the tank you had to just work the power forward an backward perfect to get lined up at the right depth, then steer it carefully though, my friends were lining up to drive it, I may have to get it back out.

other than the one attack, the fish didn't seem to mind it much....
