I am posting this in response to the video on Taze's blog. Code enforcement officials are using "catfish" (actually pelcostomus) to clean abandoned swimming pools on foreclosed properties. I have a couple of questions. Why is code enforcement burdened with the expense of maintaining swimming pools on abandoned properties? If the property owners can't maintain the pool, condemn the property and give it to the poor! Also, these are not native catfish, they come from Central and South America. Nobody seems to be addressing the environmental impact of putting them "back" in local lakes. The code enforcement official says you can just "put them back in the lake that they came from." This is disingenuous. I'm no ichthyologist, but I believe there is a difference between a native catfish and a plecostomus.
