Devil fish‚ also known as suckermouths‚ have invaded the waters of the Mexican state of Tabasco. This armored catfish is cherished among aquarium owners because they eat the algea that grow in the tanks‚ but out in the wild‚ this behavior harms underwater plant life and erodes shorelines. Along with this‚ the introduction of these fish has resulted in a decrease in numbers of Robalo‚ or snook‚ in these impacted waters. It’s unclear as to how these devil fish became a problem‚ but it’s thought to

one generation of the animals (TEDxYouth). This is just one example on how sharks keep everything in balance. Another example is coral reefs which serve as a home to thousands of fish in the ocean such as the parrot fish. Parrot fish eat coral reefs and if they don’t have a predator to control their population size it could be detrimental to the coral reefs.
