Re: RE: to new plant introducers: Fish


Koi? Same as goldfish in terms of ecological damage, maybe worse. 

Check out Australian policy on carp. http://www.asl.org.au/asl_poldoc_carp.htm

In addition to being nasty bottom feeders that muddies water which leads to 
eutrophication, they are vectors for disease.

Google search of ecological damage of koi resulted in 485 hits. Even the 
Chinese are worried.
