    I wonder who put them there?

    yes, i've seen one!

    it does confirm that the lake is not a total cesspool

    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! :D

    There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that:

    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!

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 743 ✭✭✭Tea-a-Maria


    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:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,041 ✭✭✭Havermeyer

    Take it your doing Ag then?

    it does confirm that the lake is not a total cesspool

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 597 ✭✭✭Tayto2000


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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,355 ✭✭✭dyl10


    Where would we put the panda? :eek:
