ok snakeheads are cool fish but if they come into my fishing ponds or lakes i will kill them all thats a promise sorry to all snakehead lovers but i wont let them kill my fish
 
Though I agree, Zebra mussels and the round goby were introduced by the Chinese, not aquarists. Carp were introduced as a food fish. Aquarist sometimes take the hit for them Chinese people. Cormorants, they're invasive in Canada from china and were brought to get rid of the carp problem. :(
 
What would your opinion be on releasing a native toad? Over two weeks ago I took in a toad that was hurt by a weed wacker. After treating him his wound looks healed. The aquarium I put him in was bought new, so it hasn't been contaminated by any other animals. The only thing I have done questionable is feeding him pet store bought crickets. If possible I would like to release him eventually, because I already have too many pets. Would releasing him be a bad idea? I'm willing to keep him if being exposed to the crickets is too much of a risk.

I know this is not fish related, but it fits with the topic

captive kept animals do not live long once released to the wild.
it'd get eaten overnight. if you have a pond, you can put it there, a lot of times frogs and toads like to stick around ponds and what not. there you can keep an eye on him

Why is there not a law designed to remove certain people from accessing the Internet?

This really needs to go into some special place as an example of THEE MOST uninformed post ever written.....

Where did you get this information? Piranhas aren't saltwater unless I misunderstood your post.
