Last updated on Monday, July 23, 2018

(UNDATED) - The Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife is advising residents not to dump their goldfish into ponds and lakes.

State officials say goldfish can grow to a large size when not in a pet store.

The breed can become an invasive species when put into the wild.

Officials suggest giving the fish away, donating it to a school, or trading it with another fish owner instead.
