yes it does hav to be done, and it is right.
Some people disagree with what im doing, and think it wont't help.
But how does sitting back on a computer telling people what they should hav done accomplish anything?
Im glad that someone is managing the populations of exotic plecos. This is one of few invasive fish species can cause damages to the enivornment, upset the balance of the nature or not as well as the overpopulating the water bodies. IMO it is not good idea to suggest idea where you can re-home the pleco. There are few problems with this idea:
1) Free mistreated large common pleco are always available on craigslist.
2) Public Aquariums won't take them in because they already have them.
3) LFS may struggling to sell a single XL pleco that's laying in their tank forever.

Does this help you sleep at night. So it's ok to kill a fish if it's common?
I'll remember this advice the next time a kid comes on here with a pacu and oscar in a 10 gallon or any other tank that is overcrowded and all you people rip him a new one... after all they are common fish.
I know this thread would have have gone down a different path if the OP was killing Stingrays or Asian Arowanas.
Sorry...just saying
@ Warborg
Does it help you sleep at night knowing invasive species with no predators are taking over waterways while you disapprove of what must be done?
Plecos are so common, you cannot expect every speciment to be rehomed when they are homeless at LFS, walmart, petsmart, and all over craigslist?
And excuse me but am I killing fish living in aquariums or telling people to kill there fish? No, i just made a comment that if there is no way to rehome them than euthanizing them is better than releasing them. And these fish are part of a HUGE population living across florida, when what can you do with so many fish and so few homes?
Of course this would have gone down a different path if i was killing arrowana or stingrays, but im not am I? and from what i know/seen they are not mass reproducing in native florida waterways. U cannot compare that to what I was doing.
