Don't make this seem alright. Their waste damages the ecosystem enough alone not accounting for the fact they aren't supposed to be fucking in the wild. They're not made to be wild. HENCE WHY THREY TURN INTO FUCKIN MONSTERS. They fucking kill off all food sources damn quick and breed like rabbits. Fucking don't ""release"" fish.

You can legally kill them and I'd honestly recommend it. I hate hurting fish personally but it's FOR THE BETTER

Goldfish people are nuts, and I say this as a fish person. I guarantee if you hit up goldfish forums you’ll find someone to take your fish

Do goldfish taste good?

They’re carp so I think it depends what they eat?

Also, to be clear:


Goldfish will grow to fit the size of their enclosure.


Yes, this is real. That dude’s name is Edward Nino Hernandez and the fish weighed almost as much as he did.


Imagine what an animal this size could do to a small lake.


Now realize that they can breed.


You see the problem here, right?


Please, DON’T RELEASE YOUR FISH!

Goldfish are also literally just carp with a funky color so in the wild it only takes a couple generations to revert to the normal brown which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to find them.

Wonder how big they would get if they were released into the ocean

They would die?

The ocean and lakes are in fact different types of water and fish from one usually cant breath the other
