Guppy - carp are Asian, and were introduced on Long Island/NYC in 1831. Unfortunately, they are here to stay, but unlike snakeheads, won't wipe out the rest of the lakes population.

Little known fact - Long Island/NYC was never originally home to the Largemouth Bass either, they were only found upstate until they were stocked by people.

That is the case with many species. Some are invasive and some are not. Brown trout are from Germany/Europe. Rainbow trout are from the Western U.S. Both can be found in NY, our only native trout is the brook trout.
