'Flushed' goldfish grows to 14-inches

Fish owners are being warned not to flush their pets down the toilet because of the problems they can cause native habitats.

Buffalo Niagara Waterkeeper (BNW), an organisation that works to protect waterways and lakes around western New York, posted an image on Facebook of a 14-inch goldfish found in the Niagara River.

While BNW could not be sure exactly how the fish got into the river, they said it was most likely either deposited directly into the water by a pet owner or flushed down a nearby toilet.

I would thing the bigger problem is the sewers draining directly into the lake.
