[cool][#0000ff]As we both realize, there is a big limiting factor which keeps Utah Lake relatively free of "exotics" from the aquarium. That is the cold temps. Not even tilapia can survive the cold winters...much less the other warm water tropicals.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]It would be interesting to know just how many different species have been "introduced" by bucket bozos...most never to be seen again. I'm sure that some might survive a warm water summer but if they weren't caught out they would probably be history by early fall.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I sure hope that truckload of giant snakeheads I've ordered for June planting help reduce the carp population. Gonna try to pass them off as sabertoothed june suckers. Think DWR will go for it?[/#0000ff]
