Nice to have you drop by. We too are enjoying the group being about
as it was before the conflicts.

Your drainage pond sounds quite something. Can the goldies be washed
down stream? It would be sad to have them launched to compete with
the natives.

Not only sad, but in most jurisdictions it is illegal to release non-native
species into the wild.


Or to move native species from one environment into another where they
haven't previously existed.

Nonetheless, people do both all too often. Fishermen call them
'bucket biologists' in a sneering tone of voice if the species
interferes with the target species of the fishermen.
