Sucks. Sorry to hear that. The environment is going to heck in a handbasket anyways. Seems too little, too late to destroy the occasional imported plants.

Yes, obviously. That already IS the case.

Might be too little too late but why not at least TRY to do something? Better than sitting around saying "Woe is me!". I personally feel it is better to try and fail than to just sit around being a hand-wringer. I have to say I do wonder if the asian carp problem IS too little too late. I sure would hate not having Lake Trout around anymore. Having witnessed the great fish kill-off that Lake Erie suffered and then rebounded from gives me hope that something can be done to stop the invasion.
Stopping one little plant may not seem like much right now but all big steps usually start with a small one first. With all the plants in the hobby, I don't see an anubia strain not being already available.

Well, I personally think that while humans could have done considerably better at preventing other creatures from hitching a ride with us (the original invasive species) mother nature will eventually balance everything out herself, even if we fail. Yes, we should try to help, but as we have seen in the past sometimes "helping" is in reality harming mother nature.
In a nutshell.. keep your hands off before you break it, and if you have already, stop touching it you're not helping. (you = humanity)
*prepares for war (of the flame!)*

Regardless, we're still responsible for them at the time being. Yes, mother nature will fix herself, with or without the human race, but you have to think, we have to live in what we create until she says enough, and who knows how long that will be, or if the human race will have survived itself to see it. As excuseme said, destructive happenings started with small changes. Like, going off Friends example, if you see a very expensive glass sculpture, make the choice to view it from a distance or walk away, instead of changing your thought, then your movements, then your touch, and knocking off its pedestal or just breaking it. Remember, we're creating the future we have to live in..
it is true that it's too late
in the future, all tropical areas will be the same biotope. survival of the fittest - world champions!
