It got knocked back by animal ethics more than once. I still have dreams of being able to do it.

Matt. I recall a proposal (in which you were involved, I think) a few years back to eliminate gambusia from selected urban waterbodies and to refill their niche with native spp. The plan included building a stock of galaxias in volunteer backyard ponds. Did it get anywhere? Daryl

That's interesting, thanks Mattt. Must look up to see how they tried to control the minnows. It would help the Majura Native Frog Fauna a lot....

They are known as plague minnows for good reason. There was some work in Victoria that was somewhat successful in removing these from billabongs.
