Pet fish are not wild fish.
During a water quality survey of Keller Lake earlier this month, the Associated Press reports that 10 goldfish were discovered. On Monday, an additional 18 were found, some of which were 18 inches long and weighed up to four pounds. The city’s official Twitter account posted a message about the fish, writing, "Please don't release your pet goldfish into ponds and lakes! They grow bigger than you think and contribute to poor water quality by mucking up the bottom sediments and uprooting plants. Groups of these large goldfish were recently found in Keller Lake."More Related News
