Something I noticed about the lake

Tea-a-Maria · 12-09-2009 11:55pm #1

It has fish!Big ones too.It can't be healthy for them though..:(

I wonder who put them there?

aequinoctium · 13-09-2009 1:00am

yes, i've seen one!

it does confirm that the lake is not a total cesspool

SugoiHito · 13-09-2009 9:52am

Yeah, I spotted one as well!I was suprised,it didnt have 3 eyes:rolleyes:

SarahChambers · 13-09-2009 9:55am

The lake is really cool I liked sitting at the side with my friends last week but it probably not as nice when it gets colder in winter!

I saw this in the lake.

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that:

jimi_t · 13-09-2009 12:57pm

There's a ton of the biggish ones plus like 50-60 small ones. There's one particular one of about a foot and a half, he looks like a Carp/Mirror Carp thats been bleached white by the chlorine. First to catch him gets a gold star

Now that you mention it, amid the grime and coca cola cans you may get a rare glimpse of this:

Im pretty sure chlorine would kill anything living in/on the lake. Id imagine its a Crucian Carp, they're closely related to goldfish and they would be that colour!

Now you know what your student center levy is going on!

Fad · 13-09-2009 3:50pm

Saw no fish, I did however, see a chair in there.

Gloom · 13-09-2009 5:32pm

Lol. Must keep an eye out when I visit my friend there!

McNuggy · 13-09-2009 6:04pm

I love how this poster knows within a range of 10 how many smaller fish are in the entire lake!:D

Tea-a-Maria · 13-09-2009 10:31pm

I saw that carp one,the thing is it has a patch of orange on it too,so is that normal or has the lake stripped it of it's colour?:eek:

Havermeyer · 13-09-2009 10:37pm

Fairly normal.

Gingy · 13-09-2009 11:05pm

Hit my sliotar into the lake last week

The fish can have it, wasn't a great one.

Lucet · 14-09-2009 12:01am

Hungry students' should invest in fishing rod

if it was a total cesspool, there would be no insects, and thus no swans/ducks

Tayto2000 · 14-09-2009 11:50am

Not so, cesspools are brimming with life, you just wouldn't necessarily want to go swimming in them

So, anyone want to pitch in and buy one of these babies for the lake?

I've got a guy who knows a guy who can get us a good deal if we take a Panda off his hands too.
Lets see them call UCD a concrete jungle when we have a panda and our very own Free Willy.

dyl10 · 15-09-2009 10:30am

Where would we put the panda? :eek:
