| Posts: 148 | Bluegills are EXTREMELY aggressive when it comes to territory. Ever kept any in an aquarium? One decides that he's King of the tank and, through incessant harassment, slowly kills everybody else in the tank. A friend of my father once had a big tank full of cichlids, which are notoriously territorial, like to rearange rocks and plants, and generally don't get along with each other. Well, this guy lived on a lake and he decided to add a bluegill to the mix, which proceded to beat the living sh*t out of his tough, aggressive cichlids - they were no match. So sure, world, give us your dumb-ass carp! We got bluegills, we got bass, we got rainbow and brook trout...WATCH OUT!!! Jonathon | |
