Answer

Brief Explanations:

An introduced species is one that is brought into an area where it did not previously occur. In this case, the pet - fish are released into a local pond where they had no known local population. Invasive species are introduced species that cause harm, but we don't know if these fish will cause harm yet. Native species are naturally occurring in the area, and symbiotic species have a close relationship with other species in the ecosystem, which isn't relevant here.

Answer:
