Goldfish, which reproduce rapidly and have few natural predators, im­pair wa­ter qual­i­ty by feed­ing along lake floors, dis­rupt­ing plants and stir­ring up sed­i­ment, which in turn re­leas­es phosphorus into the wa­ter, en­cour­ag­ing al­gae growth. The fish also com­pete with na­tive spe­cies for food.

How do they like the Minnesota winter? Since they feed on the lake floor do they just shrug off the freezing temps?

They must be the ones creating so called climate change. Better tell Greta.

They’re carp. The lake floor doesn’t freeze.
