I'm a carp dad

I'd just like to throw in a name idea:

• Carpe and Diem

Latin for "grass" is "gramen"

Carpe and Gramen?

These are classified as invasive species and apparently you're better off getting caught running an illegal kangaroo fight club than having an unlicensed grass carp.
 

These words are strung together in a most artful and humorous way.  You should consider making a career in writing.

This one was better:

"I ended up having a long chat with a State biologist who just seemed thrilled that his biology degree led to a job that didn't involve wanking priceless racehorses into a customized horse fleshlight for $12/hr while his parents expressed their disappointment at his life choices. "

The Jim's. I'd get a 3rd just to make sure they are a trio of Jim's. 

Crock and Gator.

and they all have to want to be called Jim.  unless you're thinking of some other Jims.

I'm naming a beer 'Kangaroo Fight Club' and there's nothing you can do to stop it. 

In reply to pheller :

I disagree.  Leave it to you kids to think any mention of a horse penis is funny.

Since grass carp are native to the far east/asia, suggested names:

Blood and Guts

I thought it was funny more because it captured something deep about modern employment (although horse penises are inherently funny).

That's fair.  I'll allow it.

They know their roles boys. 

At less than 20 bucks, why just two?  The more the merrier!

I might steal this for a beer league hockey team at some point

In the end, won't a similar volume of hydrilla be deposited at the at the bottom of the pond as carp crap?

How long will that take to break down?

Yeah I'm not exactly sure how this particular circle of life works in such a closed system. I guess worst case I'm out $34and a trip to Ocala and two carp get to go on and scam the next unsusepcting sucker

I saw this thread pop up this morning.  Im glad we discussed Kangaroo Fight Club..

However, more attention needs to be paid to this part:

They're both dudes (owning females is illegal) and being a triploid fish (a process is enacted during fertilization where a third set of chromosomes that are usually kicked out of the egg during development is retained) they are sterile.

I feel like a movie or two have been made to address this...

You want to leave some forage for the other fish too. Too many grass carp in a pond results in an underwater desert with no greenery. No food for bluegill, no hiding spots or spawning areas for bigger fish.

You get multiple females in a system and you end up with Jurassic Park. Get two dudes into a system and you end up with Dick Ritchie and Floyd from True Romance. I'm not worried.

Came here to post Carpe and Diem but Colin was way ahead of me. Second choice is Cheech and Chong because love of grass.
