A big boy.

Dumping is the reason for the python problem in the Everglades. The pythons are eating every living thing they find, including pets. I'd hate to see a python just slithering around like they own the place.

Those are big? Hell, the pond in Wrights park in Tacoma has Koi and goldfish that are easily .7 to 1 meter long. I know there is a Comet there at least 2 ft. Ducks avoid the pond. Luckily the pond is not connected to any water way. I am more worried about the Pythons and Snakeheads in Florida more than anything else. I heard the Pythons were taking out the gators.

That's how evolution works. Many species travel to new areas of the globe in many ways. Examples such as insects hitchhiking a ride on birds; or by humans dumping their fish aquariums in local waters. Natural Selection then takes over. Cool, isn't it.

I've seen Goldfish that big before. From what I understand, they'll grow or stunt depending on the size of their environment in both physical size as well as availability to food resources.
