Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Blue Gills enlisted in fight against terrorism

OK, read this, perhaps the folks in San Fran don't know about redears (make that pumpkinseeds).

Good point SoSauty . That bottom fish in the pic is sure a funny looking BG . They need to ask a few fish id questions here. They must not have read the popup box.

I wonder who thought that a pumpkinseed would be as good as a bluegill at fighting terrorism.

To small and pretty to be a good CIA or FBI agent.

I think they may have a hard time Infiltrating any terrorist cell in the mid eastern desert countries.

We need to employ the walking catfish to help with that task. I would think that we would have to get a good plastic surgeon and dentist ( or taxidermist ) to help them fit in for covert operations. :rolleyes: I wonder how good they are in hand to hand or hand to fin combat?

But, seriously folks, I wonder how they keep them alive in chlorinated water. I have never tried to keep bluegill alive in treated water, but it sure is death on aquarium fish. Maybe they test the water before they treat it, which would seem to take away some of the value of the exercise.

Heronblu, the way I read it, they are keeping the fish on the supply side.

They are not keeping BG in chlorinated water. I tried that once by accident in the aquarium and it worked about 30 seconds.
