Aquarium fish threat to environment

I hadn't heard that the Dreaded Chinese Snakehead Walking Fish had been seen in Florida waters, but it appears so. 31 times. Yipes. Where in Florida, I don't know. In some places it could presumably get into Alabama waters. I'm only a mile from the river!

Anyway, it appears that Auburn University is actually doing something useful for once:

For more information on proper disposal of aquarium plants and animals, send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to "Aquarium Hobbyists," c/o Auburn University Marine Extension and Research Center, 4170 Commanders Drive, Mobile, AL 36615.


Really, if you have exotic animals, do, okay? Even if they're dead, they can carry other organisms that can cause problems.
