Re: [pyrnet] U.S. Dept of Ag in Florida

  This is not pyr related, just an interesting note on the dept. of ag. in 
Fl.   I lived in S. Florida for 9 years, and am also into tropical fish. In 
the 60's the dept. of Ag. had a problem with Oscars having been released into 
the waters of the Everglades by aquariest, that were killing of the native 
fish. To combat this they released a larger predator, the S. American Peacock 
Bass into the same waters. This had no effect on the Oscars, but did manage 
to kill off most of the remaining native fish. You can now catch about every 
kind of S. American, and African fish in the Everglades if you know where to 
look, just nothing native (they're all gone).    Sorry if I digress: Charlie

 a self-employed CPA (receiving tax credits, I guess)...
