One of the most invasive species of fish in the Philippines right now is the janitor fish. They are resilient and now widely spread in the middle of Luzon island rivers and streams.
Everywhere i go as long as there are trees and plants there are always leaf cutter ants nearby since they dont have natural predators that eats leaf cutter ants.
@@TsukiCove Cane toads were probably covered before because they're famously invasive in Australia but they were also introduced in the Philippines. Similarly awful result.
I'm from the Philippines and these animals have been here for so long they pretty much carved a niche in the local ecosystems. The guppy especially where you can find it EVERYWHERE here even in landlocked ponds and drainages.

Just a suggestion: invasive species in Finland? If there is enough stuff that is interesting of course. As always, keep up the great work! Nice to see how the channel has grown over the year despite having to rehome the fish :)
@@nomorok15 yeah true lol, although it's quite sad if you think about it. I know here in Finland we have 100,00+ white tail deer and also raccoon dogs which are invasive
As a Zoology Graduate from MSU Marawi, I'll also add the Gobies (Glossogobius giuris, G. celebius and Hypseleotris agilis) as the most devastating introduced species... These three goby species, along with the Carp and the Tilapia, but particularly the gobies (as there was a dramatic reduction on the endemic fishes population after their accidental introduction), were attributed to the extinction of the 16 out of 17 Endemic Cyprinids of Lake Lanao
I'm from the Philippines and your video is well researched and quite accurate. I grew up in a rural area and now living in suburban area close to Metro Manila. I've seen all these invasive species as i used to hunt and now fish recreationally. Kudos to your channel. 👍
Another amazing video as usual! Id love to see a video about the Chesapeake region of the US. It includes Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. Its one of the most unique ecosystems here in the US and there are several possible videos you could make on it
Politicians in the our country are also invasive species, they are really knowledgeable to reproduce quickly and keep their clans intact for the purpose of their political dynasties.
I live in the Philippines and we referred to Eurasian tree sparrows as "Maya" they we're brought by the Spanish colonizers when they invaded the Philippines, to remind them of their homeland. The birds have been here for several centuries that people didn't even know that they're invasive. They are known as naturalized species, another example is the water buffalo or "Carabao"; they are the national animal of the Philippines, they have been here for thousands of years and was brought by the Malay people when they first settle, the Carabao has been used for agriculture and transportation until this day and has integrated into Filipinos culture, tradition and way of life that it has naturalized and the Carabao basically replaced the now extinct large herbivores like elephants and rhinos that once roamed the islands.
Maybe a suggestion for another series or type of video aside from locations would be "5 of the Best Team Players" as in animals that either live in communities or are efficient pack/pod hunters. Would be cool to see too
Wow. I never knew those Sparrows(we call them Maya) were not native in my country. I see them like everywhere, from the city, rural areas even in the boonies.
The Eurasian tree sparrow is so embedded into Philippine identity that it’s almost declared as the National bird. We even have a name for these, we call them Simbahang Maya which means “Church Maya”
I'm just learning these things through you. I was so familiar with the maya bird I see it everyday that it didn't occur to me they were invasive and that was the point. Every animal have a natural habitat.
I didn't know that about that bird. I did grew up in a small town near a lot of farms so I remember seeing those birds a lot. I didn't know that they weren't native to the country.
I think this list should include the Golden Apple Snail. This particular species had caused millions of pesos loss annually. It was introduced by you know who to the Philippines and the lack of research regarding these snails resulted to an agricultural calamity up to this day. Also, the educational system of the Philippines needs improvement specially the ecological conservation part. Thank you for increasing awareness.
i'd like to add the cane toad. it was introduced to control an insect that preys on rice. ill advised because it did little to control the pest and just ate all the other native animals it can fit in its mouth.
The most common toad. You can see it everywhere, in roads or in drainage systems. There is another invasive toad, the one that inflate its body. I forgot the name.
When I was young, i saw this kind of bird at 5:00 hunt and feast on house sparrows a lot. It was gruesome. Then one day I realize it’s gotten a lot silent in the morning and there are only a few little sparrows around.
Just a suggestion, but since you've done a vid on the most invasive species in the second largest archipelago now, you could maybe do a video on the largest; Indonesia!
From an ornithology book, I was amazed why I found the Eurasian Tree Sparrow (aka the Maya) in the European section of the book. But I was like: The maya? AN INVASIVE SPECIES?!
@@nealang9520 Eurasian Tree Sparrow is the "common house birds", these birds nest on houses (like in ceilings and walls). The Maya on the other hand, don't nest on houses. Anyway, google is free to use if you want to know more.
Mayan cichlids. Knife fish, pangasius fish, Chinese carp And largemouth bass is a big problem here too. Though theyre edible so people are not bothered much.
I believe the Eurasian Tree Sparrows nowadays have also started to colonize other areas in the world by themselves by hitching rides on ships from what I read. I am from the Philippines and also an amateur birdwatcher and nature photographer, and since the Eurasian Tree Sparrows have becomr very common here, I, along with other bird photographers, only very rarely take photos of these birds these days. As for other invasive species in the Philippines, there are also Cane Toads and Banded Bullfrogs.
Suggestions: can you do invasive species in Indonesia, since we've seen alot of invasive species problem over the years, like cyclids are taking over the lakes here
Most of those invasive species where brought here in the Philippines from China...you also forgot to mention the janitor fishes and the bleeding heart birds
THANK YOU TSUKI! I HAVE BEEN REQUESTING FOR THIS VIDEO, AND THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY AS A FILIPINO! 🇵🇭 Edit: Wait the Eurasian tree sparrows are invasive? And yes, I am shocked that it is invasive, but it doesn’t do that much damage.
african walking catfish is also very invasive in philipines but people have forgotten it is, we used to have different species of smaller other walking catfishes, people don't exactly know what's invasive, what's not, tilapia, carp, giant snakeheads, alot of other species, no more gouramis, gobys and alot of other smaller fishes can be found anymore. like what others have said, they have been spread out since the 50's that so many generations think they belong there.
Here are some other notable invasive species in the Philippines: Golden apple snail - introduced as alternate protein source Black-chinned Tilapia - as food source Mosquito fish (Gambusa affinis) - introduced the same way as the guppies Cane toad - introduced to control pests of sugarcane Giant snakehead - as food Rice eels - introduced to control GAS and as alternative food source Clown Knifefish - an escaped or released pet and now wrecking havoc at Laguna Lake Janitor fish - introduced as an attempt to boost fisheries industry
i am an angler and i agree with the tomman snakehead and jaguar cichlid, they are easy to catch using lures. you can also include mayan cichlid and black chin tilapia.
In the Philippines we call the tree sparrow maya for short and is very common if you live in the philipines you would see them birdwatching all day and also call them maya for our own country way
That mud color turtle have many population here on zambales, philippines.. every season of farming mostly rainy season they are easy to spot..sometimes cause of problem for the padd wheels of machine... Their armor back as sturdy as metal... But i dont know anyone here that eat that turtle rather than they are being treated as pest and other treat them as badluck.
Don't forget the Raven Crow of South America , the Raven Crow , features about the size of a tall white leg-horn chicken but a head of crow . They don't sound like a our. local crow . A rescued bird can taught to speak.
Hearing guppies listed as invasive was a surprise to me altho I should have known since I ended up with a pregnant female guppy once and within months they over populated my tank (they can give birth up to 6 months after contact with a male because they store the sperm and fertilize as their eggs mature 😵💫)
If you live in the southern part of Metro Manila or northern part of Calabarzon area, you'll encounter Finlayson's squirrels especially in wooded areas. The Philippines have their own tree squirrel species but they don't live near or inside the cities. While the Finlayson's squirrels are the dominant non-rat/mouse rodent specie in NCR area. They originally came from the peninsular south east Asia and introduced into the ecosystem by escaping their captivity or intentionally releasing them
Male jaguar cichlids regularly get close to 18 inches long (even females commonly get over 14 inches) in aquariums and have been spotted at close to 24 inches a number of times.
I was surprised to learn that the Maya (The local name for the Eurasian Tree Sparrow) are not native here. Its one of the most common birds here, in fact we see them everywhere daily as you can find them both in the cities and provinces all over the Philippines.
They are surprisingly not that common on dense forests and areas without humans. Some ornithologists call them the "coke maya" because seeing them means there is a near neighborhood that would have a store that offers coke.
any fish will be eaten in the Philippines but the Janitor Cat fish is the worst invasive fish they destroy river beds and they are not designed to be eaten at all.

We call that little sparrow "City Bird" coz it can be seen everywhere in our city.
I've always thought of the "maya" as the national bird instead of the Philippine Eagle. Now i know they're not native at all.
Learn your history properly. Again, that is not the "Maya" or the red maya like how we call them.
Eurasian Tree Sparrow is different from Red Maya (former national bird)
