My New Natives

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
There is a small lake near here with only small trout in it, so i threw the salmon in there , I figured when they grow up it'll make some nice fishing if i'm lucky they might even breed and i'll have an almost private fishing spot to myself .
 
HAHA, Truly that was funny. Everyone is so critical! I have some baby natives that i'm growing out. At first i thought i had trout.... but the mouth looks like a bottom feeder. Carp babies are bigger than a guppy when born right? Never seen a baby carp before. They are clear though... and i can see the belly thats about it... very long and sleek looking
 
Not to preach about this and you can take it for what it's worth, but this is a really awful idea. In fact, ithe US it is actually illegal in most states. The introduction of any fish into a habitat that it is not native to can lead to many problems including species number and diversity loss and habitat degradation.

In addition, no fish that has been maintained in an aquarium should be released into a water way regardless of whether it came from there or not. There are several aquarium specific diseases, etc. that a wild fish can pick up while in an aquarium, then pass these on once it is released back into a wild population.

The only responsible things to do with these fish are to find a new home for them or euthanize them.
 
Apparently, I was a bit speedy with the reply. Sorry. I would certainly expect the members of this board to already be familiar with such ethical practices. I hope your dog enjoyed them.
