apparently at the time people where catching cichlids and lots of tropical fish that had been let loose in the canal

i wonder what other fish there are in our rivers and canals that have escaped and can live here or live in certain places here
Similar things used to hapen on the Trent in the 70's due to the power stations Also UK fish were growing larger due to the warmer water

Not anymore I'm afraid
