Yeah bro just introduce potentially invasive species from a foreign environment into your local area. What could go wrong?';

The whole country can be Florida!

There’s so many populations of aquarium fish around here, and they spread easily too because of the canals and heavy rain. Never know what you’re going to pull out of that pond!';

Florida is one of the best fishing destinations because of all its invasive species. You can catch tropical fish from every continent in a single canal, plus you're always next to the ocean for brackish and saltwater fishing. The government itself even recognizes how much money it brings to the state which is why they don't even bother controlling them anymore. Only thing they don't have is trout but people who fish for them are fags anyways.';

A long time ago I had a pond in my back yard filled with rain water no pump or anything and I caught some mosquito fish in a homemade funnel trap so I put like 5 of them in the pond to see what would happen. It was usually full of tadpoles and mosquito larva. Those 5 fish turned into like 300 within a year, I forgot about them and years later looked at the pond and there were still mosquito fish living inside it. Checked again at around the 10 year mark and they were still there. Then everything in it died and now I have this pond shell full of dirt. 160 gallons.
There was still mosquito larva but way less. Now that there’s no water in that pond there’s no mosquitos.


The best way to eliminate them is remove still water sources. If you can’t do that mosquito fish help a lot, easily 50%.

Yup, I’ve caught LMB peacock snakehead snook tarpon variety of cichlids talapia jacks perch mollies guppies crabs giant prawns crawfish catfish gar carp I’ve even seen red drum, sheepshead, and pickerel, and pacu in canals here. I follow a guy who sets traps in the canals and random lakes and shows what he found, keeps some of the interesting stuff. Rare stuff like red bristlenose plecos for example. Sometimes he’ll get crazy looking fish that were released, just leaving the traps overnight.';

Ever thought about how fish species are so uniform in certain areas, yet these areas aren't connected by water and never have been?';

'>>2705339
Dumb argument. This idea that we can't eradicate mosquitoes because we might destroy the environment is a fallacy because mosquitos basically destroy the environment all by themselves and render it uninhabitable. In northern New England where I grew up, outdoor activities in summer are almost impossible outside of well maintained parks because the mosquitoes are so dense. They don't die off until it's practically winter, so being outside sucks for most of the year. The environment is already ruined. Anything that can kill the mosquitoes is worth a try no matter what the consequences of failure may be because the land is already useless as is.';

In the western US there are dozens of native minnows which perform as well or better than mosquitofish locally and they are actually native, mosquito fish including the "western" mosquito fish are native to the eastern or central US and not the far western US. The mosquito fish is actually invasive in most or all of the western US.';

'>>2716948
Who cares just put it in your water stream. It's for the betterment of every outdoors enjoyer.';

'>>2719674
I'd rather put local native minnows in local streams. Everyone already puts invasive fish all over the world, when you could just go out and catch some natives at known sources and safely transport them to your desired areas. Some enterprising douchebags have introduced largemouth bass to south central Alaska before, which goes to show that if you can do that, why not go through much less trouble reintroducing natives in local areas.';
