Aquarium dumping problem - feeder goldfish 18" long, a global issue
Just sharing this photos for awareness, since this was discussed recently why we should not introduce non native fish into our local water system.
The size of this gold fish, used as feeder or baits by game fishing in Lake Tahoe resulted in monster size goldfish caught by scientists. It's a global issue, the other photo shows the same issue in other countries. And I don't think we want to see the same problem here. http://imageshack.us/a/img208/9375/giantgf1.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img542/9680/giantgf2.jpg Full article can be read here: http://newswatch.nationalgeographic....s-of-the-week/ |

The photo in the middle was captured in France. The other most talk about issue is the explosion of asian silver carp in one river. The carps jumped out of the water due to the vibration of the outboard motor. Nobody eats the carp.... |
Won't the bright coloration be a disadvantage in the wild? Unless there are no predators.

thats a very nice fish btw:eek:

ironically, Asian carps are hard to come by in China where they are considered a delicacy. |

With the US economy in the doldrum, they could use the additional income to export this fish back to China. Someone pest can be gold to another!:D |
