Aliens

The picture isn't the best, but you can clearly see the double-tail of the little goldfish on the left. The two other red fish are platies. Both species, along with some fancy guppies, were found in a stream at Sime Forest close to the feeder road. Goldy will probably not last very long; those double-tails aren't really good for predator evasion.

The platies and guppies, unfortunately, are very hardy and adaptable, so unless some kingfisher, pikehead, snakehead or Clarias cat manages to single out these colourful aliens for a meal, it's likely that subsequent generations will revert to type – with wild-type colouration and resilience. For now, the rasboras and barbs that share the stream are at the edge of a man-made invasion. Good intentions and ignorance are a tragic mix.
