Unwanted aquarium plants and pets create problems when they are:
• Released into the ocean, bays and rivers
• Released down storm drains
• Flushed down the toilet
These plants, fishes and invertebrates can cause devastating ecological damage by:
• Displacing native flora and fauna
• Consuming all available food sources
