MU study: Goldfish and lakes don’t mix (LISTEN)

by | May 7, 2026

Goldfish are popular family pets, especially for parents teaching their children how to take care of a pet. A University of Missouri study says if you want to rehome them, a lake, pond, or stream is not the place to go.  

Alisa Nelson talks to MU professor Rick Relyea, who says goldfish have a significant impact on the health of other fish, water quality, and all the way to the value of homes.
