How to euthanize fish

[ranmasatome]

Agreed...tsk tsk..

release it in any pond or reservoir near u.
don worry abt the ecosystem.
its won't be affected.
there are already so many foreign species in our reservoirs and ponds it will hardly make a difference.
i used to go to the reservoirs to catch fish.
you'de be surprised at the stuff that i come across.

i've found so many luohan there already.
not to mention zebra tiliapias, 9 bar cichlids, bublebee gobies, blue freshwater crayfish...

now theres even motoros in the reservoir.
sigh...
just release wherever is convenient

I SERIOUSLY CONDEMN THAT PIECE OF ADVICE coming from a fellow hobbyst. This is very very sad indeed to hear people actually giving that advice to release in nature!

An Analogy:
Just shit on the floor, there's so much bird shit it won't make a difference

Talos, i'm going to disagree with your line of reasoning. Just because something is already f*cked beyond comprehension (our ecosystem) doesn't mean we should give up on it by telling people that releasing harmful aliens is ok. There are some who are still trying very hard to reverse the damage. And by some i mean the Nature Society, some NUS researchers and many of the forumers. It's not exactly "nice" to see someone telling others to disregard your hard work and add more problems to an already screwed up situation.

On the other hand... thanks for removing some of those aliens. I too go fishing for crayfish. Excellent when BBQed with some butter

Releasing animals/plants into the reservoirs or any other parts of the reserves is both illegal and harmful to the native ecosystem. Not all animals or species that are released survive (some hardier species like sliders, certain cichlids, crayfish do) but continual new releases add to the pressure and threaten to expand the range of non-natives into the more pristine streams and pools further in the reserve.

Those who think that there isn't much left to the local ecosystems and that further releases don't mean a thing are sorely mistaken.

release it in any pond or reservoir near you. don't worry about the ecosystem. its won't be affected.

Talos, I personally think this is a very very irresponsible statement. Even if it is bad now does not render us the green light to make it worse.

All the more, we should stop what is wrong now and try to rectify it. Fish the non-locals and release only the fish ORIGINALLY supposed to be found in Singapore...
