Are these the carp, that make for the entertaining videos eminating from the Mississippi River. That show fish jumping into boats as the boat flies down the river?
I just saw this article about another invasive species of Black Carp that snuck in with a shipment of Grass Carp and got loose and are thriving in the Mississippi River.
Yahoo.com: This invasive species of fish has established itself in parts of Mississippi River basin
Black carp are native to eastern Asia and were introduced to the U.S. in the 1970s to 1980s in imported, contaminated grass carp stocks that were shipped to private fish farms, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Different kind of carp. Grass carp are also called white Amur and they're pretty chill and lazy. They also get really big so one to the face at 20-30mph would be pretty catastrophic.

Just got the word. We pick up the boys on Sunday.

The ambiguously carp duo!
Crockett and Tubbs are safe in the pond, and no hydrilla is off limits of their fury.
The carp farm in Ocala was realy fascinating. Honestly I could have talked to the dude all day if there weren't more excited carp parents waiting. Weekends is when they se most of their small-batch customers, who are mostly homeowners with residential ponds who are picking up single digits of fish. Most of his business is driving the ol' carp truck around and delivering hundreds or even thousands of fish to large scale customers. Their biggest customers are municipalities and HOAs of planned communities, but they also work with a lot of larger businesses with campuses, golf courses and other non-governmental large-scale operations.
They actually suggested that our quarter-acre pond could support more than the two fish we were getting, so we'll add a couple more in spring. Hopefully these two aren't too mad when they see new friends.

So, how are the carp doing?
Happy Fathers Day JG!
Hey!
So we added three more as yet unnamed carp tp the pond in April. We haven't actually seen ANY of them since they went in the pond, which I guess is probably good, since we haven't seen them floating, either.
We've gotten a lot of rain lately, and the pond is up quite a bit so it's kind of tough to tell if they're making a difference yet, but I'm guessing once it starts going back down around November we'll be able to see if they made a real dent. At any rate, five is my state-mandated limit, so they better understand no help is coming and they need to keep chowing down.
JG - we visited the NC aquarium over the holidays and I thought of you and your fish! How are they doing?

That looks like a common carp, not a grass carp!

It's time for a carp update.

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. "
Anytime you can work fleshlight into a conversation is a win.
It's past time for a carp update.
I saw them last time I was at JG's! They look like, uh, fish. That's about all I know.

Would you pester the carp dad to give us an update?

There's not many updates because they're shockingly low profile. At best, we may catch a glimpse of one of them comingup near the surface once every month or so. Aside from that they just seem to be going about their business quiety and productively.
I was in the pond last week fixing the fountain and there's still a lot of hydrilla, but it honestly didn't seem like the tnagled snarl it was the last time I swam out to do repairs. Also, we've had a dry spring and the pond is really low right now which would usually mean that the surface would be nothing but exposed hydrilla. There's definitely plenty around the bottom, but it's clearly been reduced.
Also can report no carp bites from my swim out to the fountain, so they're good to work with, too.
