Default Interesting Article on Impact of Released SW Fish
Hi All,

Here is an interesting article on what NOT to do with your fish if you ever get tired of them. It is amazing how well fish can adapt to a new environment, and scary what their potential impact is. This is from the NOAA site by the way.

The have recently found lionfish, volitans, living off the Jersey shore. Many keepers have just been dumping their fish and inverts in lakes, streams and the ocean. Not a very bright thing to do. Most of this is in the south, Flroida the most hit. They now have a few lakes/streams with Cichlids and even Piranha.

An explosion can be defined as a loud noise, accompanied by the sudden going away of things, from a place where they use to be.
