Free Sea Bass

[cb747]

I collected above said fish 2 years ago not knowing what it was and now im hoping to find it a new home. Its about 8 inches so it needs a large tank. I had someone interested in it but havent heard from him so i guess he doesnt want it. First come first served! Also note this fish is blind in one eye due to a bad case of popeye he had several months ago.

No Dex you cant have it for dinner!

 

[ireefny]

fine......



what 'bout LUNCH ?

Thats a cold-water native species. If its under the size limit, its illegal to keep. If its legal, it still needs a cold water setup to do well.

Chris, if you want I can drop him off at a local wreck with other seabass.

 

[cb747]

jejton i know its under the legal size limit. Its also ben in my reef for 2 years. As stated i didnt know what it was when i collected it so thats how i got it.

Rich i would take you up on that however that brings the whole "dont release it back into the wild" debate.

Dex you just may end up having it for dinner.

Chris..try sending Jarrett Shark a PM, he was looking for some company in a 150 (I think) for another large wild caught fish, might have been a trigger.

 

[cb747]

I already did. Hes the one that was supposed to take it. That was 2 weeks ago and i havent heard from him sense.

 

[knockout]

have you try the local aquariums, they have displays of local fish!!!

ginger, scallions, oil & some soy sauce then steam for 10 minutes.

 

[cb747]

Nice Warren you can share it with Dexter LOL
Duke i hear you and its going to go somewhere! Maybe Atlantis would take it?

 

[GQ22]

the dont release into the wild only applies to non native species. you are simply re- releasing t

 

[cb747]

Id rather not but it is an option i guess. Bump to the top

 

[cb747]

Ttt

 

[teen]

better do it before the water starts getting cold.

 

[cb747]

Thats probably what ill end up doing against my better judgement

 

[teen]

i understand where your coming from, but then again, the only place hed be good is at an aquarium.

 

[cb747]

Ill see if Joe can take him at the next LIRA meeting so i dont have to trek out to Riverhead. I really would rather not release it into the wild.
