Gangster goldfish on the rise in B.C.

Goldfish are adaptable, intelligent, and in many cases, end up being flushed down the toilet.

Dumped goldfish in B.C. waters are reproductive machines able to spit out 50,000 eggs at a time, three times a summer. Goldfish don’t even need a male to multiply, they have a special process called gynogenesis. Females clone themselves.

They have grown numerous and large, choking out the locals.
