Here is the scoop. There is a monster goldfish invasive in northwest parts of Canada and they're fighting for their lives!
Officials is saying that these mega fish can grow up to 12 inches long are there are literally schools of them in ponds out in Calgary, especially St. Albert.
Cbc says In 2015, staff drained water so the pond would freeze completely over winter. The fish survived. In 2016, they electro-shocked the water and then scooped the stunned fish out of the pond. Again, the fish survived. This year, after goldfish were spotted at Ted Hole Pond downstream, the city decided to pump chemicals designed to kill fish into both ponds.
It is very important to get rid of these giant suckers as they pose dangers to the natural ecosystem. I do not know about you guys... But these guys are freakin' huge!
'Til next time, Steemlings!
