**** the pilgrims for hauling over the "American" shorthair, and probably beagles. They must be the reason the golden grizly is extinct.

Has anyone heard of any invasions of popular aquarium fish in america?

Well in Canada here someone let a piranha go in a local lake which some one found but nothing came of it (no invasion and no others found). I would guess it would die in the winter anyways.

I know.

There are or were some problems in Florida with the release of some marine species, I think.

Also, non-native carp all up and down the Mississipi river, probably from decrotive ponds.

There has been some problems.
