I found this rather interesting. This site has listings of reported nonindigenous species that have been found in US waters and land. Oscars in Nebraska, Arowana in Colorado, even a 14' Anaconda snake in Arkansas. Check it out. http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/StateSearch.asp
There are too many irresponsible people that polute our waters and land with their "unwanted" pets. Some of these might not be able to survive cold winters, but that doesn't make it right. Sorry for the rant, but it is sickening that people have done this. It's ruinnig our hobby and making us look bad IMO. Atleast I know people here are better than that.
Just thought I would share this with you guys. They also include references and some have pictures. Click on the specimen ID.
