Offenbach – He eats chicks, causes problems and should therefore move: The problematic catfish pond Dreieich Park!
With a giant net, a professional fisherman began to attempt to catch him . The fish has been a sensation for weeks as a "chick killer". The net was zigzagged in the lake
The hope was that he was caught in it, said Fischer Dieter Stitz. Then the fisherman and his badistants want to take the catfish out of Dreieich Park with a dip net
Fish and chicks eaten
The catfish would have eaten other fish and chicks protected by species living in the big pond. Therefore, it was decided to catch the animal – and also because the waters up to 80 centimeters deep with about 2500 square meters are considered too small for the big fish.
The city declared that the animal could no longer live appropriately. It should now be moved to another body of water. The city does not want to announce exactly where it is and simply reveals that it is in Hesse
The catfish walks in the net
In the evening the fishermen were still waiting for the large-mouthed predatory fish enters the net. The animals are nocturnal, so there is a greater chance in the dark, says Stitz. If the catfish is caught, it must be examined by a veterinarian to make sure that there is no infectious disease.
But even at night, the animal did not enter the net. He has been spotted, spits a fish, but can not be caught. It is probably smaller than originally thought. The action was canceled
