All the fish in my locality are invasive haha...... hahaha............ If i went for the wild fish route, i'd just use plants harvested locally or in-vitro cultures so that i wouldn't introduce new pathogens from aquarium trade plants (which is really the reason why you can't release wild fish)...

Sorry, i may have made a mistake... i was sure i read about endlers being invasive in some localities with either soft or temperate water, but i can find mostly info on P. reticulata doing that on the internet I'm pretty confident that considering their similarities with guppies they would be...
