coelacanth Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 fish can be sterilized easily enough by the addition of certain chemicals to their water (I won't say which ones) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I mean "sterilized" as in rendered unable to breed, just in case there was any confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 fish can be sterilized easily enough by the addition of certain chemicals to their water (I won't say which ones) sadly this has been done on fish in N.Z. before, was many years ago though.
