Default 'Snakehead' Fish Found in Wisconsin River

They seemed to do fine in a couple of ponds that someone introduced them to in Mass, and it gets a lot
colder than 60 in the water there too...you may have to worry. We had to nuke the ponds basically to get
rid of them.

Ah well.........

The story is he

I'm from Wisconsin and I'm not worried. This is probably an isolated case and one that's not likely
to spread. These fish are from southeast Asia and begin to die off when the water temps drop below
60 degrees F. Anyone from the area knows that the water gets a lot colder than that. The only
possibility is if they get into an area that has a warm water discharge, like a power plant.
