That is quite disturbing. Assuming that the fish originated from a food store and not an aquarium shop, live tilapia usually come in poorish condition, then sitting in the sales aquaria they succumb to a lot of diseases....released into local waters, they stand a pretty decent chance of introducing some nasty pathogens into the native fish populations.

It is amazing how many idiots ruin a fishery because they want a fish they are familiar with in it. Start with 6 months in jail if you can prove it. And make them clean 10 miles of river shore and bottom. GOOFS!!!

It looks like this is possible, the eroded fins and red lesions are typical. Not often they sell live fish though, they will usually gut them at minimum.

 

Interesting that it happens right after finding Nemo is in theaters again isn't it.

Actually, you are not far off...the potential fines for releasing a non-native species into the wild are quite high.

Maybe we'll start seeing goldtallibowbrownbrookcutties, now that would be awesome! Too bad the Bullbrookiebows will eat them first before we would ever get a chance to catch 'em.
