No, that isn t a photoshopped picture authorities really DID find these incredibly huge goldfish swimming in a Minnesota lake last week.
As any animal lover will tell you, it s never a good idea to abandon a family pet you no longer want, right? Even if it s a goldfish. Because when you release a harmless goldfish into our 10,000 lakes here in Minnesota, they can turn into these monster-size goldfish that the city of Burnsville just found swimming in a local lake.
Goldfish DO belong in Minnesota when they re in your tank or fishbowl. Where they don t belong, though, is in any of our natural bodies of water here in the North Star State. But that s what happened in one Minnesota lake, and it s caused the county to take action to get rid of them.
