Please Do Not Dump Aquarium Fish into our Lake

Oscars are beautiful aquarium fish but do not belong in our local waters. They will eat small native fish, compete with native sportfish (like bass), and could even introduce new diseases! Two Oscar fish were recently dumped at Lake Friendswood Park.

Dumping anything out of an aquarium—fish, animals, and plants—can have devastating consequences for Texas' natural waterbodies. This is true for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums. Never dump them into a natural body of water or flush them down the toilet.

Your aquarium fish, animals and plants are likely not native to Texas. This makes them an invasive species. When they’re dumped into the wild they can introduce disease or become serious predators, killing off local fish colonies, and damaging reefs and vegetation that keep our underwater ecosystem alive and healthy.
