Honestly i think it would be cool to live in south florida and just scoop whatever aquarium fish you want out of a drainage ditch or something.
I've released a ton of fish into private ponds, made for great fishing, would not release them into any connected water body tho
Honestly as a kid, we would walk up to petsmart as a kid and buy a bunch of feeder goldfish and drop them in ponds at parks and wherever we could find. We thought we were helping the fish by releasing them. I wonder how many made it and kept growing to full size.
Most don't live if there's a decent predator population, usually you only get a few that live if either:you introduce them at larger sizes, or the water body has limited larger predators
What about dumping dead fish in the wild? If you have a fish that dies, and it's too big to flush down the toilet.
Mine have almost all been to big to flush, I prefer to bury them in the compost pile. If it was infected, adding what may be a new bacterial strain to local waters, might not be s good idea.
Here when we clean fish, we have a very efficient clean up crew, working 24/7.
