picking on Goldfish

Well just had to respond to this. I have put in around 200
ponds/waterfeatures and retro-fitted another 100 or so, and put  a lot of
goldfish (actually comets, shibunkin, fantails, etc.) in those very ponds.
What has happened in most cases is this. Frogs, lizards, turtles,
dragonflys, butterflies, birds, birds, birds, praying mantis, etc. (even
raccoons!) show up. In suburbia across the country where we are driving all
living life out, it shows the resiliency to return, kids are happy, adults
love their sanctuary, and nature has  regained a tiny foothold as we trample
are way across the American landscape. I gotta say this. This is one fight I
would take on. The world is a Global community and we have to get used to
it. If you want to fight non-naitve species fights, do something about the
Brazilian pepper Tree in the Everglades, or Kudzo in the South, or the
spread of pennisetums in certain parts of the country, or water hyacinths
clogging natural waterways.   But leave my goldfish alone!!
