Per the City of Burnsville:

The City of Burnsville tweeted Friday that groups of large goldfish were recently found on Keller Lake.

The city advised pet owners not to dispose of their goldfish in lakes, as they contribute to poor levels of water quality.

"They grow bigger than you think and contribute to poor water quality by mucking up the bottom sediments and uprooting plants,” the city tweeted.

Well, they are edible, although lots of bones. But good eating.

True. They're carp, so lots of little bones. Carp have like a second layer of ribs, which is a load of tiny ribs. But the meat is quite tasty.

That's what happens when you flush them down the toilet.
