Goldfish Up To 18” Long Found In Minnesota Lake

July 13 (UPI) -
- Officials in a Minnesota city are asking residents not to dump their unwanted goldfish after a local lake was found to be home to goldfish up to 18 inches long.
The city of Burnsville shared photos of some massive goldfish removed from Keller Lake during a recent survey.
"Please don't release your pet goldfish into ponds and lakes! They grow bigger
than you think and contribute to poor water quality by mucking up the bottom sedi- ments and uproot- ing plants,"
the city tweeted.
The city said 10 fish, measuring up to a foot long, were found during the survey. Officials said a second survey conducted Monday resulted in finding 18 more goldfish, with the largest measuring 18 inches long and weighing in at 4 pounds.
"Most of them were definitely
bigger than you'd find in your typical aquarium," Daryl Jacobson, the city's natural resources manag- er, told the Minneapolis Star- Tribune.
Jacobson said goldfish released into lakes com- pete with native species for food and encourage algae growth. He said the fish are likely also living in other nearby bod- ies of water.
"Goldfish are a pretty hardy species," he said.
