how many crazy people are in this thread lol

Not sure if you're talking to me or about me. I personally don't think anyone should release a non-native species into the wild. I'm saying that it can be beneficial done by those who know what they're doing but even then I think it should be avoided at all cost

pbass have not erradicated the species, and where is there evidence of hybridization between them and black bass? only asking because I have never seen one and I couldnt find one through google.

Pbass would make a big impact in FL. Because they are larger predators.
I agree no way rock bass and pbass could hybridize.

I would never release any non-native sp. or captive native sp. in any body of water. It can really have a bad impact. I agree w/ the laws because people are irresponsible. It is a shame that responsible people can't keep certain fish because of all the stupid people who don't understand the impact.

BTW northern snakeheads and Asian carps can survive in Great Lakes just fine....they just hasnt invade there yet.

Pbass would make a big impact in FL. Especially if they are hybridizing w/ other fish. I doubt that is even possible. No way a cichlid and a member of the sunfish family can breed.

I think he got misunderstood that peacock bass in Florida are hybrids from hybridizing with Largemouth bass but actually the Floridan peacock bass are hybrids, made of two species of peacock bass.

This is correct. There are huge machines that send out electric currents in the rivers that flow into the great lakes. If a fish swims toward them they will feel electricity and if they keep going it will get stronger and stronger so they eventually turn away.

I personally do not believe that any type of releasing animals where they were not originally found screws with the environment. The Nile perch in lake Victoria, which someone mentioned, destroyed the cichlid population. There are many examples of this.

edit : pbass have cross bred with the native black bass and all but erradicated the species.. majority are hybridized with pbass now.

No. Just... no.

Your statement is so wrong it actually makes me angry. And yes, I am well aware how trivial it is to get angry over the internet. But here I am, I want to punch three babies then strangle a kitten.

Centrarchids and cichlids do not breed.

Just send the OP to the Mississippi River where the leaping carps are at and he will change his opinion. Or better! Just invite him for a swim at Pine Mountain Lake...full of Rusty crayfish. Obviously he's not from United States so he don't know what he is talking about.

PB hasn't impacted on Florida fauna for long time. Why? They were too busy to eating all exotic cichlids along with YOY snakeheads in manmade canals and lakes.

BTW there are no rock bass in Florida, only largemouth bass.
