Monster goldfish found in Lake Tahoe will haunt your dreams

Massive goldfish up to 18 inches long have been breeding in Lake Tahoe and are said to be thriving in the lake's ecosystem. That's not exactly good news, though: Experts say that the fish-beasts were likely dumped in the lake by aquarium owners and could have a negative impact on the lake's native species. The creatures "eat a lot" and expel nutrients that promote algae growth. Scientists are scrambling to catch the critters so they can study them in the lab. In the meantime — watch your back, salmon.
