While doing last minute preparations for my trip to Tokyo (See my blog post "Planning for a Trip to Japan") I watched a documentary on "janitor fish" featured in the "Eyewitness" program in Channel 7, with Ms. Kara David as the narrator. The program is very informative and sheds light on the destruction brought by introducing a foreign species of fish in Philippine waters (Marikina river, Laguna Bay, and Agusan marshland).

See the following link for more information about "janitor fish":
