that's too bad, its the fish that is destroying the wild life in India. oreochromis mossambicus. its very prolific, probably the most widespread around the world. Its good fish for aquaculture, but also destroys some native fish habitat too

We have them in Florida too... but I think they were intentionally introduced there. Blue and Blackchins were, anyways.
