What can happen when someone dumps their aquarium in your backyard. Dogue
creek runs through Ft. Belvoir, where I kept my Boston Whaler many years
ago, and then right into the Potomac.

Good close up shots.

One theory as to how they got into our waters blames an Asian custom of
releasing a fish into the water when eating a fish. Like the carp, it is
eaten in other parts of the world.

Apparently they were also sold in aquarium shops around here. Hell, who
knows. One thing's for sure, they're not going to get rid of them by
catching them!
