Have a bait shop that sold and I think still sells koi on the cheap. He said he cannot use the term koi so he sells them as fancy carp. A big one was caught up at Caplinger mills a few years back.

ollie Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This is one topic that gets my blood boiling! Why can't people understand they are hurting the eco system when they do that? I would venture to say that most of the time it happens it is because someone has to move and can't take it with them. Oh, I can't bear to see my pet goldfish die so I should just release it in the creek or local lake. 🤬 "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!

MOPanfisher Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 They have a tendency to dump the whole aquarium, that's how things like hydrilla get started, probably more durable that the pet fish are. SpoonDog and BilletHead 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmidwest Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The wifey was looking for goldfish for a new 10 gallon setup for the grandkids. All the pet store had was black bug eyed things. I directed her to the local bait shop and said she could find them there. Ended up with Mollies.
