They're a pest whatever their genomic rearrangement.

Its a common exotic in anywhere. But as long as there are some predatory fish in same waters, I don't think you should be worried. I've found that goldfish numbers are low when the predatory fishes (bass, pike, catfish and walleyes) are present.

Natural colored brown goldfish are being marketed as "black salty" bait fish by Anderson minnow farm in AR. Goldfish last a bit longer in salt water than do most freshwater minnows, and also survive longer at the bait shops. I imagine escaped brown ones may survive better than orange ones, so you can expect to see them more often in streams and lakes.

The largest predator is a pumpkinseed.
