If releasing those fish were considered horrible, you won't believe what kind of predator species I had release into the city (Surabaya) sewer system. (it's native species but top predator nonetheless)
First and foremost I'm not condoning any practice of releasing invasive species into any kind of ecological habitat, however this news has been severely exaggerated by some "hippies / leftist environmentalist" (Disclaimer: I live in Karangpilang / Wiyung area since 1986) And compare to other "predator" species that inhabit the river & swamp system, this punny fish is NOTHING in term of size & ferocity.

Foreign invasive species would destroy local Brantas river ecosystem and could bring harmful side effects to the river (spreading of unknown parasites) and the communities along the river that may be depend on it for their livelihood. Those predators are known for attacking human.

Australia was bought down to its knees by rabbits, and then later by toads.
It isn't about predator species but invasive species.
@pr1v4t33rWhat is your own opinion upon the matter?
Likewise, the finding of people inserting a breeding-sustainable population of fish all at once is almost like managing to find the patient zero of a deadly disease outbreak.My post sum up my opinion upon the matter, which convey rejection and dislike towards ignorant and irresponsible act by releasing invasive predator to the river. We are not talking about just 1 or 2 predator fishes here, but 70 that can easily multiply into uncontrollable number that could create various problems in the future if that stupid act slip by unnoticed.
I give 2 thumbs up to those who bring these matter up to the surface and voice their concern upon this matter. Destructive ignorance and stupidity shouldn't be excused.

If it was up to me you'd bet I'd freak out, if none of the native predators target the fish 70 can quickly turn to tens of thousands in a year, and millions soon after. At its hight, there was 600million rabbits in Australia, and once they found a viral control, they estimated that the ranching/animal industry alone benefitted by 1 billion AUD per annum.
Indonesia has better things to do with its limited funds than trying to control an outbreak of an invasive species. I tend to disagree with ecologists when it comes to economic policy, but I'm with them on this case.
