Large goldfish found in sewer

Officials in Canada, have warned goldfish owners to stop flushing their pets down the toilet because they survive and clog up the sewer system.

Environmental officials of Alberta, said that they have found goldfish as large as 12 inches long in storm drains in the region.

40 fish were removed from a single storm drain, indicating that they are breeding in the wild, getting quite large and survive winters.

Goldfish are considered an invasive species, and officials are worried that they could alter the fragile ecosystem.

As a result, the Environmental Agency has launched a campaign, which warns people not to flush their pets down the toilet.

Even if the fish are dead, they may have diseases or parasites that could be introduced in the water treatment system, officials said.
