hi, im new here xD

as you guys know, floridas unusually cold weather is killing off invasives, and its also making it easier to go get rid of them ourselves

because they were slowed down by the weather
i caught 50 plecostomus (almost all with my bare hand, some with a dipnet)
in 3 1/2 hrs

they all varied in size from a few inches to 2ft plus, unfortunately, i just left them on the bank, as i had nothing else i could do with them, and i aint putt'n um back xD

why keep selling them, when u can remove them from the wilds of florida???

oh, and what is that really cute sound they make???

nothing more satisfying then collecting your own pets from the wild.

what was i supposed to do??

this is the best chance to rid of invasives, and who knows if ill get a chance like this again

 

[mgk]

everyones a bit on edge since all the breeding fish down there are dying too. there all probably gonna die anyway with out your intervention.

So them running out of air is the best solution? if they were going to die why not let it be in the water? I dont get this thread. I to would like to hold you under water since there are too many people on earth and all.

I don't think telling a fish-keeping forum that you killed over 50 fish is a bright idea...

 

[fobrinkle]

Really? Human life is the same as a plecos? Bit harsh I think.
