Fishkeeping is a popular hobby concerned with keeping fish in the home aquarium or garden pond.
Serious problems can occur when fish originally kept in ponds or aquaria are released into the wild. While tropical species of fish will not live for long in temperate zone climates, fish released into places with similar climatic conditions to those that they originally came from can survive and potentially form viable populations. Species that have established themselves in place that they are not native to are called exotic species. Examples of exotic fish that have become established outside their normal range are the Asian snakeheads in Hawaii, African walking catfish in Florida, and goldfish in Australia. Some of these exotic species can become extremely disruptive preying on, or competing with, the native fish.
