Introduced Sailfin Molly "
Poecilia latipinna" thriving as an invasive species in Europe.
https://www.researchgate.net/publicatio ... _in_EuropeAbstract
The ornamental aquarium trade has been responsible for several introductions of non-indigenous species in freshwater ecosystems. This report confirms the presence of an established non-native molly population in a tectonic, brackish, geothermal lagoon located in Greece (Lake Vouliagmeni near Athens). The Vouliagmeni molly was positively identified as the true sailfin molly, Poecilia latipinna (Lesueur, 1821), using the number of scales around the caudal peduncle as the principal diagnostic character within the sailfin molly species complex. To our knowledge, this is the first documented record of an established sailfin molly population in European waters.

===================
Mavrični moli kot invazivka v Grčiji!
Znana akvarjska riba z "morskim genom" mavrični moli, Poecilia latipinna (Lesueur, 1821) je bila nemarno ali namerno vložena v geotermalno laguno (jezero Vouliagmeni) blizu Aten in tako predstavlja še eno tujerodno in potencialno invazivno živorodko v Evropi (poleg gambuzij, gupijev, mečkov, kratkoplavutih pikčastih molijev in še kakšne vrste verjetno). To je dejansko že norišnica; vsekakor še en madež, ki je padel na naš hobi. Ljudje so dejansko kuga planeta, povsem neodgovorni in destruktivni do okolja in sebe. Naša civilizacija krvavo potrebuje živalsko policijo s pooblastili za ustrezno ukrepanje na licu mesta za zaščito okolja in biodivezitete.
