Freshwater Pet Fish

Freshwater Pet FishWhat will happen if I put a pet fish in a freshwater lake, pond, river, etc.?

I just want to know what will happen to the ecosystem of the water body. Is this really a good idea? will that harm the fish? Remember that the fish has spent his whole like a tank.

European carp introduced causes $ 1.2 million damage to inland rivers each year here in Australia.
other "pet fish" that were introduced in Australia by irresponsible include citisens
talapia
trout
carp
redfin
Gambusia
guppies
Koi
goldfish
fish pen
archerfish
Red Devils
Oscars
silver sharks
3spot cichlids
peacock cichlid
the list goes on and on ....
all competitors or in the case of the above competitors already endangered species of origin.
I urge you to act responsibly if you like to fish and other creatures depend on the ecosystem.
pet always want free fish.
for them its easy profits.
DONT just throw them die of hunger or threaten other fish species.
10 points?

The fish will probably die. He does not know how to get food. And he is accustomed to living in drinking water with chemicals keeping clean.

It is really illegal, I can tell you that. If you had to do, the fish could end up just died, or he could end up harming native species of fish.

The fish could damadge the entire ecosystem as long as the fish does not be eaten. However, even small fish can eat or destroy beneficial bacteria or something like that. If the fish is on the medium and large side, like a cichlid he could eat the little fish in the fish feed big tour. It is a bad idea but it probably will not harm the fish unless the water is temporary and will evaporate.

Pet fish resources, it has never had to go get food for herself. Just waiting for the "hand" to sprinkle flakes once a day.

Put a fish in a lake company will have no impact on the lake. Most likely, something will eat the fish or the fish will die of shock, or fall ill. Anyway, it will not last long.

In addition, if your fish is a tropical fish most lakes / ponds here are too cold for him, so that the fish do not last long.

Honestly, if you do not want your fish more, just put up for adoption on Craigslist. You'll get a lot of people interested in the fish will be happy to give your fish a good home.

Do not do this, the first out is illegal, second your pet would probably die, depending on what kind it is, especially if it happens again she saw a whole lotta s ***. So if your tired of your fish, give them to someone else who wants them.

illegal very broadly.

Two things happen Wil possible, most likely the fish is just eaten.

Or worse, they survive, multiply and kill native fish and other critters.

Do not release aquarium fish into the wild. The end result is that more restrictons get on that fish may be imported, because the idiots keep letting them go.

You should go read about invasive plants and stocks, which animals in water which is connected to the wild waters.

Hopefully that wild fish will come to your pet fish, and make lunch out of him before he could find other fish to breed.
