Tropical fish, so *here* they would not breed and take
over.  They could be a problem in the southern parts
of the country.  

But the same is true of bettas and guppies in warm
climates...  In fact, I read a while back on one of
the Malaysian betta groups about common plecostomus
becoming a problem there because people were releasing
them in the local waters when they got too big or they
got tired of them...
