I bet MedicJim has been dropping in the wild carp at night. Along with swiping a home brew from the fridge.

[Kamoyaker]

@oregonmikes LOL, yea, and i think he's been camping out in the woods near my house.

why dont you want them in there?

[Kamoyaker]

@darkora2 The wild looking ones stay on the bottom of the pond and stir up the muck. They cannot be seen because of the natural colors. These were the ones I was unable to capture last year and they were getting large for only two years old. My pond was over-crowded from these fish and it is hard to keep the water clean from all their waste.

That was neat I am presuming they were result of bird droppings

[Kamoyaker]

@medicjimr That can sometimes happen. I call them wild carp but, they are really the offspring of domestic fish that brought forth genes from their wild carp ancestors. This probably happens because these fish can lay hundreds of thousands of eggs each season which opens the door for a wide variety in the gene pool. I wonder what commercial breeders do with theirs? 1 sec ago

how did the wild carp get i there?

@bradstar64 NEVER EVER put any pond raised or store bought fish into a local waterway. For one thing its illegal, and for another thing that's how invasive species get started. DON'T ever do that. Look at the great lakes now with the Asian carp, that's excatly what hes got there.
