PLECO HUNT

If you actually did a little research, you would realize it was written by Juan Miguel Artigaz Azas, considered by many to be one of THE foremost Cichlid experts in the world. AND, it cited:
Capps, Krista; 2010; "The effects of exotic armored catfish on native cichlid habitat, quality, and abundance"; Buntbarsche Bulletin; (n. 260), pp. 8-11 (crc03052)
So that's just something someone wrote to you? Get real. I'm done with this thread, I'm sure anyone reading it will be able to see who is "talking out of their butt."
eh, idk how much it has to do with getting attention - just sharing an experience. I thought it was pretty cool to see somebody get involved with the problem and didn't see an issue with it bein posted. Not trying to get in on this argument, but IF she was trying to get more attention knowing she'd be flamed, THEN she would have put it in the pleco section as those individuals are gonna be more likely to get upset by this kinda thing.
Once again not trying to jump in to a fight just sayin i think that's highly unlikely

I CANNOT BELIEVE how ignorant you continue to be when you're just blatantly wrong. And I didn't work at some "petsmart," I only bagged fish once or twice a week for a few hours, with a big order going out every other week. The other 90% of it is caring for fish in hundreds of holding tanks and the dozens of breeding projects that were set up there, many with rare fish that the owner had gone to Africa and personally collected. Point is, I've completely immersed myself in the hobby for periods of time and I know a thing or two about it. Comparing me to a petsmart worker is laughable.
Wow, this thread went from interesting and cool to see huge plecos to a complete immature attack from mshill...
I think it is funny how she keeps putting words in your mouth... She keeps bringing things up that I never even saw you say.. Not getting in it either, just thought it was so funny to see a fight break out over this, and then it lead to a complete and utter personal attack (from her) this forum is IN THE CRAPPER!!!
i find this funny! but i wish someone could clean this thread up because i posted this to make an intresting and cool thread with huge plecos to bring up the invasive species topic and show a recent example.
Can we see your source for this statement?
You have to realize something about Florida. This is the land of invasive species. Just because you heard some news reports about snakes doesn't mean they are doing more harm then a specific fish. Plenty of invasives are so common that people don't bother talking about them anymore. The reptile front has gotten some new additions so it is getting more attention now (especially since stories about snakes killing alligators started). But you don't hear anyone worry about the Brown Anole, since it is now considered "the common lizard" (it turned the rather common Green Anole into a relatively rare find). You don't hear anyone talk about Curly-Tailed Lizards anymore since they are becoming the new "common lizard". The past few cold-spells took care of the Iguana population (for now) but before that people were rounding them up and killing them. The Cuban Knight Anole got some minor attention but the cold-spells seem to have taken care of their population. On the fish front, just about everything has been invasive so long people don't talk about them. The only thing really getting attention is the Lionfish since it is a fish eater. Doesn't mean the other invasives arn't doing any damage though. Or that the snakes are doing more damage.
