‘Megalodon’ goldfish went from ‘cute to brute’ in Pennsylvania waterway

Something like a fish is happening.

Goldfish from pet stores went from “cute to brute” after being discovered in a waterway in Pennsylvania. Experts warn against throwing unwanted fish into ponds and lakes.

Invasive species that can grow up to 4 pounds when released into the wild were caught during a survey at Presque Island State Park in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I said it on Facebook on Tuesdaythere is a photo of an orange fish.

“This goldfish shouldn't be here,” the agency said.

“But someone released it and thought they were kind. Instead, they caused an invasive problem that could last for decades.”

Wildlife officials warned that goldfish would become huge if they were dumped in the wild, steal food and threatened native fish species by turning the body of water into “muddy mess.”

Anglers are also prohibited from using goldfish as bait for Keystone State. Experts say this is only legal in 16 states.

Officials believe that a creature called “Megalodon” has been swimming with fish for at least two years.

“If you can't keep a fish, just keep it again,” Wildlife Agency said. “How to split from a goldfish (the correct way).”

“Don't let that loose.”
