I realize this is going to sound like I escaped from a nuthouse, but it could be an escapee from a military experimentation station. Many years ago, the military were trying to make a fish that would disrupt the food chain in several middle-eastern countries. The original fish had its DNA altered to make it more aggressive in claiming portions of a lake for its own, attacking anyone and anything that intruded on its territory. The hibrid largemouth bass is a good example. Its DNA was altered to make it grow faster and be more agressive. Anyone who has been attacked by one of these monsters know what I'm talking about, they are mean.
From the little information I've been able to find on the subject, the US Fish and Game Dept contracted with the Army to make a common carp feed aggressively on the plants infecting Lake Victoria in Africa. The reasoning was for the carp to reduce the plant growth and allow the lake to return to its natural state. Whether it worked or not, I don't know but it certainly sounds like the Army let one of their experiments excape into the wild.[

The military has always been trying to find ways to disrupt natural food and weather patterns, something we ordinary citizens never hear about. However, unless the project is classified, we don't know what our taxpayer money is being spent on. On the rare occasions when we do find out, the info is printed in DARPA abstracts, open for all to read.
So, my conclusion is -- the fish is an experiment gone wrong and should be put out of its misery.[]
