Aggressive Fish Take Over Malaysian Lake

Peacock bass are taking over a Malaysian lake and it’s getting wild. These flashy invaders, originally from the Amazon, are outcompeting local fish and even eating their eggs—yikes! Officials are so worried they’re holding fishing competitions just to get rid of them. Apparently, if you release non-native fish, you could get slapped with a $4,700 fine. Who knew a fish could cause this much drama? #Science #InvasiveSpecies #PeacockBass
