I understand that CJBS. It would be nice to get them to survive and reproduce, but I don't think that it's going to happen.
I'm not against yellow perch because they're yellow perch. I worry about them the same way that I worry about bluegills. I just don't want them to breed like wild fire and create problems.
These posts are just me bouncing ideas around. I'm just searching for knowledge. Its not my goal to rile anyone up.
I will eventually get it figured out. I just get scared to pull the trigger sometimes. I'm not OCD, but I know that if I put a species in the pond and then later decided that I didn't want them in there, I would battle them day and night until they were gone and would probably end up having to hit the reset button on the whole operation. Its just how I am.
So, in the spirit of trying to get it right the first time, please bear with me. I'm new and I'm learning.
