Right now, they are about 8-10 inches long but the more they eat the bigger they&#8217;ll grow. The city anticipates they&#8217;ll grow to be about 3-4 feet long. These fish offer a natural way to mitigate the algae in this pond which can start to smell and look unsightly over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These fish are sterile so they cannot reproduce, we ask that residents please let these fish do their job! They are not meant to be caught &#8211; and are actually illegal to transport without a permit from the Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife Resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next time you visit the pond in the park, keep in mind the hard working fish eating to keep it clean!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Jordan&#8217;s Plum Creek pond is now home to a little more than a dozen Triploid Grass Carp.
