A.S. You're "Guilty"
What about pacu in (umm I can't remember, it was on river monsters)
(Just checked)
In Papua New Guinea, introduced to eat algae or something, eventually it took a shine to men washing there wotsits.
Locals now call it the nut cracker!

I know they breed true but my issue is that people can't sell them as while the intention or their creation was good. Now they have become a copyrighted "product"

I think we should put those people in keychains and see how they like it!
I am okay with glofish because, a) they are not harmed at all, the color is passed down from one generation to the next, and b) they were actually made to help detect pollutants, which is a pretty cool thing for a fish to do. However, since they are genetically modified and so artificial looking, they are definitely not my favorite fish. Also, that made me start thinking...what would happen if someone bred a glofish with a normal zebra danio?
Have you seen a full size red tail? It could swallow a little Chinese man lol

And to top things off, how about the species that are planted by the government to control one thing but causes greater distress to the environment? Case in point: Mallaluca trees were planted in S. Florida only to take over the place. THEN, the government spent tons of money to have them eradicated ( which, to my knowledge, didn;t work) so more area was destroyed in the process. Second point, Peacock Bass: Brought in to FL to control the tilapia the state had imported and released into the canals in S. FL to control the weeds only to have done so well, they ran over the native fish. Their natural predators: Peacock Bass. The problem is that the native fish were easier to catch and eat so the native fish population suffered while the exotics flourished ( But catching peacocks on rod & reel is fun I must say )
It could swallow any man, Those things get huge.
Once I saw some man sell this 9 year old a Pacu for a 10 gallon.. Once full grown, that Pacu could bust a whole in the wall.
GloFish are also patented to the point of it being illegal to intentionally breed them, plus many are infertile. Why would you create something that can't self sustain? It's like when people keep super expensive huge fish that are endangered and although they have a large enough set up won't breed in captivity. Why pull something out of nature, reduce the natural population as well as the potential offspring of the organism, and not even keep the species alive in captivity? What ethics?
I think we should put those people in keychains and see how they like it!
But, as for self sustaining itself, I believe it's a good thing they can't. They would mess up the gene pool of any wild stocks of they were to get loose. So maybe that's a good thing?
