Well I guess you could argue that honeybees were good until they became Africanized and started listening to loud rap music

The Florida Everglades have been dealing with the growing threat of invasive species like Burmese pythons for some time now. The pythons are taking over the land and ultimately killing so many of the native species. This growing problem is of major concern for the preservation efforts of the historic wetlands.

A pretty big industry have been built off the introduction of brown trout. Same for rainbows east of the pacific slope.

All I got is negative. Lionfish
