If I lived next to a cannal and wanted to do some fishing would it be worth putting in a laod of baby fish into the cannal directly outside my house thus stocking up the local population.

Would the fish stay around or would they simply swim off?

they wouldn't stay put as alot of fish stay in skools so would move about in those groups.not really your place to deal with the fish population anyway.get in touch with the local fishing clubs as they will have more idea what is in there

It depends on what fish you are putting in.

where the fuck would you get baby fish from anyway?

they get by locks when they are opened I think,not sure how tbh but they do.

dont put Gold Fish in,they carry diseases that kill proper fish.

Baby fish from fish farm. £1 each or something.

Was think carp and other sort of british fish.

Just a random thought I had this morning on the train. I always wondered how the fish got throurgh the locks etc and who the fuck put fish in the cannals anyway. I know some cannals are connected to rivers but still......

the canals would have been stocked many years ago.then over time nature takes its course with the generations of fish reproducing.paying out of your own pocket to try to increase the fish population is a bit daft imo

when you open the sluice gates the fish get sucked out into tributaries and through locks, unless you add about 10,000 fish then it really won't make any difference. the population will spread out in shoals to match food supply, they won't always stay in one place.

I remember reading about somebody who had one of those as a pet.

I actually turned into an adult which is a very very rare thing to happen.

I think they have the nick-name the peter pan salamander or something like that.

The Axolotl (or ajolote) (Ambystoma mexicanum) is the best-known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders belonging to the Tiger Salamander complex. Larvae of this species fail to undergo metamorphosis, so the adults remain aquatic and gilled

There was a story about one when changed into full adult form, I can't seem to find it though.
