Hardly. Tropical fish don't survive long even in Florida. Temperate & sub-tropical fish are the real problem. Koi are far more of a threat than tropicals. It is a well known fact that tilapia have create a huge problem in South Florida. They are surviving in the wild there, and have been displacing native species of both fish and vegetation. That's because Tilapia are a sub-tropical species, and Florida is just like home for them. _Tropicals_ wouldn't be a problem in Florida. However, you didn't bother to read what the OP said - he's in SE Asia, where it _is_ tropical, so it's still an issue, but no more so than escaped koi in temperate climes. -- derek Oh I agree. I was just pointing out that it is an issue that should be considered. |
