'Megalodon' Goldfish Found in Pennsylvania Waterway — and Now Officials Are Issuing a Warning to Pet Owners​

A bigger-than-usual discovery in Pennsylvania has prompted officials to warn what happens when "cute" turns to "brute" — as they're reminding the public that leaving a pet goldfish in the wild can create an "invasive problem that can last decades."

On Tuesday, Feb. 25, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) revealed on Facebook that experts spotted — and recovered — what they are calling a "megalodon" goldfish during a recent electrofishing survey in a Presque Isle State Park waterway.

Now, the agency is using the discovery to remind the public exactly why the aquatic creature "isn’t supposed to be here."

After watching a YouTube video on carp, i went and bought a jar of Gifilte Fish, which turn out to be fish patties, I didn't care for them but if you were starving, you could eat it. Now to find a decent Chinese restaurant that does whole Crispy Fried Carp...
 
You probably could get tilapia in the USA, but not carp. Both fish are garbage fish that taste like mud.
 
I had it in California, 40+ years ago, I just can't remember it well, preparing it may make the difference.
 
Same problem in Florida, but pet iguanas



and boa constrictors
 
I know the Iguana Man and he eats them regularly. Yuck brown canal water!
