"Aquarium Dumping Linked To Giant Tahoe Goldfish" [1]

"You're going to need a bigger fishbowl.



Scientists searching for invasive species in Lake Tahoe scooped up a bright orange goldfish measuring nearly a foot and a half long and weighing more than 4 pounds, according to the website Live Science. ...

Environmental scientist Sudeep Chandra says a survey has uncovered a 'nice corner' of the lake where about 15 other giant goldfish were living, apparently after being dumped there by aquarium owners."
