- A NPR story on Dr. Greg Lewbart of North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine using a fabric gun (used to tag clothes in department stores) to insert a plastic tag into an oranda with bouyancy issues.

That tag came out and later they inserted a Floy tag made specifically for tagging fish. The second tag has held as of early 2006. It will be interesting to see how it does long term.
