In East Asia releasing animals into the wild is a sign of good luck. Many of the evasive species in North America are because of this. The jumping carp and lionfish are a few examples which are linked to this.

People really don't realize. Goldfish can actually get up to 1.5-2 FT in length and they can live up to 30. I've always kept goldfish, since I was 7. But I wasn't the typical 7yr old, I always kept my tanks clean and never got rid of any animal I personally wanted. I'm in mt 20s now and believe it or not I still have some of my goldfish I bought as FEEDERS when I was in my early teens. If you're gonna get a goldfish or multiple just keep in mind 20 Gallons for 1 and then 5 gallons per each extra you want to add. And they can get huge and really beautiful as they age (you have to hand pick the ones you want and tell the employee their pets and not feeders) which was what I did at the time and they live a really long time.

Exactly! Koi (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) a cousin of goldfish (Carassius auratus) will grow to three feet in length and weigh upwards of 30 pounds, while goldfish grow can reach 1.5 feet and weigh 10 pounds. These are average sizes not the anomaly world record type I think was 60+ pounds😬. Thirty years is a long time, imagine the millions of eggs a large female would lay during that time. I just wish dogs would live that long🥺.

Goldfish stick out like a sore thumb. Put a bunch of largemouth bass, Perch and Pumpkinseeds (native species) in with them, and a feeding frenzy will ensue

Anyone have a Pike or Musky? Also how's the fishing up there right now? Any Snapping Turtles up in Port Perry?

The Government branches mentioned in the video clip will share telephone conversations. If these "goldfish" are as harmful as they say, then I support the consensus offered in the comments: introduce a species which will consume this species. Stay sane everyone!

Put some native really big fish in there, problem solved in 2 weeks tops

The fish look kinda sick. The one he picked up looked like it was starting to pinecone. Another one had some kind of infection. Maybe a breeder dumped all their sick fish? Not sure why they would do that instead of euthanizing

Beautiful fish! I remember as a kid back in the 70s my cousin and I putting about a dozen comets into a local mill pond. 20 years later there were hundreds of them. Goldfish are not meant to be kept in bowls. If left in a sufficient body of water they will grow to more than 18" and live up to 40 years.
