Zebrafish “Glo-Fish” breeding–babies available to SWAP
Is it what you call invasive Lenny ??….
According to the web site you give a link , They found no breeding population in the golf region , only few fish release by someone I get this info from your link. They talk only about a future possibility,
Here under the link Current status : “Courtenay et al. (1974) reported collecting zebra danio from a canal west of Lantana, in Palm Peach county. However, no breeding populations in open waters of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem have been reported (Courtenay et al., 1974; Courtenay et al., 1984; Courtenay and Stauffer, 1990; Courtenay et al., 1991; Shafland, 1996). The specimens collected were probably intentionally or accidentally released by recreational aquarists, or escaped from fish farms (Courtenay et al., 1974; Courtenay and Stauffer, 1990).
Here the text under potential impact. :
Given their popularity among aquarists, high fecundity, trophic plasticity, and overall hardiness, there is an ongoing threat zebra danio will become established within the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem, through accidental or intentional releases. However, it is likely that this species would have much less of an impact than some other more aggressive and voracious exotics, currently handled by the aquarium fish industry.
