Tropical Fish Found In A Pond/lake?

[Pablo1976]

Hi everyone, I used to be a member here years ago, long since given up fishkeeping and had to make a new account.

I was wondering if anyone can find a post I was keeping up with last time I was here surrounding an American poster who had discovered tropical, koi and more in a small pond in the US somewhere which had produced many hybrids and the like. I have searched for it and cant find it but I have a similar, if not quite as interesting story about a pond/small lake near to where I live, in southern England.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

I know which post you mean that hasnt been active in months maybe evan years so im not sure you will be able to find it.

I too can vaguely remember a post like the one you describe. It was some sort of tropical spring.

Whats your story out of interest, might warrant a new thread

nice search skills. After reading 8 pages and seeing no pics I was worried it was a hoax.....great to see proof pics, incredibly interesting discovery.

Great read! It would be interesting to see how this hot spring is doing 3 years down the line. I am a member of JSTOR which the op mentioned and have tracked down the location. Shame i live in the UK lol.
What's your similar story Pablo as i live in southern england (hampshire) so would be interested

 

[Verminator89]

Wow that thread is some TFF history

Yes, more on your story!

 

[markyeldham]

What is JSTOR? And I would also like to hear more about this. I would really love to see one of these in the UK.

JSTOR is a collection of journals that you can access online. I used it quite a bit for uni work, it was also quite interesting to scan through the more scientific side of things relating to fishkeeping. If I have the article refered to in the original post, the pond is in Nevada.

An update post would be a nice read.

 

[DanielLB]

Oh really? The article i have is for a different state and has the content the op spoke about

 

[markyeldham]

Probably quite a few of them dotted around
The original said northwest and the follow up said neighbouring Utah so it could be Nevada Oregon or Idaho I guess

(I say quite a few, probably best to take the "quite" out )

 

[DanielLB]

^Yeah, sure there are! Wish i was in the US lol.
Article I have is for Idaho. @shroob - is yours dated 1964 too which the op said? would be good to track down which one it is!

 

[shroob]

Yeah mines dated 1964, to be exact is is called 'Additional Introductions of Tropical Fishes into Southern Nevada' by Hubbs and Deacon. I haven't read the full article, just the abstract.
