Florida Frost taking care of invasive exotics problem?

[krichardson]

Sorry guys but even if they cant go away from thouse water courses, how can the US fish and wildlife service ask people not to release non native species if THEY themselfes do it?

Good point,but THEY are the authority and basically do what THEY want....I'm still scratching my head over the part where collectors cannot remove pythons from the Everglades.

They are continually releasing exotics in Florida, the government is the biggest offender. From today.........

there have been a few reports of tems (speckled) but none have been confirmed, modern florida cichla are most likely a hybrid of the butterfly(occel) and speckled (tem)

I see . Thanks.

lol I know . SnakeGuy did add a nice touch of the irony by releasing them ontop of the Glades sign.

That picture in the newspapaer article looks like a mullet not a carp.

Carp that are released are usually Sterile Hybrids so they do not reproduce. They are used to get all the exotic plants out of the water way
