Whoever decides to have an aquarium at home needs to understand the responsibility that this brings. It's just that some people get sick of it fast. But what about those who live there? It turns out that, most of the time, they are thrown into small streams and lakes. This can create a serious environmental problem. If ___________ fish do not belong to the fauna of these environments, they can reproduce too much, increasing competition with native species and even leading to extinction.
