Sparked from a somewhere in Massachusetts, a guy that ran an exotic aquarium dumped them in a river.

The reason their survival rate is high is cause the parents are around guarding the fry. The fry actually will float on top the water to avoid predation and the parents will guard them their. Normally you can see the parents as well. but if you monitor a pond with them in it, if you see fry on top the water I would just take a big arse net and see about scooping them up, if not the parents then go after the fry.

But all this is mute, because they reproduce with extraordinary amounts of eggs, and they do it close to 6 times per year.


true but them being an invasive species with no predators is why they thrive here. they are kept in check in asia just fine
