To be fair some of those saltwater ones do look a lil diffent maybe .

But heres some from utah( though it looks just like Wy to m e);)




Dont know who that person is...

My picture fish only gets to be about 2 pounds when fully grown..People DO NOT eat them..Them are mostly bought for their CLEANING SKILLS hint hint

Ohhk bought live then? - in the pet dept- some kinda alge eater, bottom sucker cleaner?lol


IStill dont know its name off hand( latin for scum sucker? ;) )

When my son was in the MP,s in germany& we visted him- we went to there walmart - they had large tanks of fish to eat- like trout etc. I (saw) that sams clubs in china sells pretty good size live turtle to eat.

Plecostomus- close?

No sir...that's not it..the fish will only be in Walmart"s that sell fish tanks and fish..this fish will cost about 3.99 each and will ne about 2 inches long..when they are bigger they put them in lakes..and that is the problem..


Sorry..you are correct on the scientific name....I checked it out (-;


The Walmart name would be Algae Eatter....the common name is Sucker mouthed catfish

There non native to the area? evasive speices?I have heard/seen etc about quite a few things down in fla- snakes lizards, plants fish etc getting to be a problem or out of control in the wild etc. Not just there of course but elsewhere to.

That fish i posted is native to wy- but on the east side of the contintanal divide only- but some claim its bad for waters here on the west side of the divide -that hold lake trout, smallmouth bass, rainbows etc& bad for those fish- that are also non native to those waters also or here at all maybe even.

Go figure- maybe based on what one makes the most moneys & is the most popular etc hmmm...... I think they like to eat them popular fishs s yep.

Thanks Chuck-i seem to me missing links & ppls post today till i goback& reread things again( sometimes more then once even)

a good one - I only got it though because you gave me all those hints etc to. I was stuck on the though of it being food & in the food dept(& native species etc too yep lol.

Alaska
Hawaii
Puerto Rico & Virgin Islands

Yep those lake trout are for sure not native to here either i dont think or those german browns etc etc & many other:s13:s either(including walleye that came from up river( but down south in Co after a flood & illegal trasnplants etc in the past.

I was thinking along the same line as that.. In fact I used to have a large one that killed an Oscar on me.. It was a loarge Oscar and it kept sucking on the side of it. More so after I cleaned the tank as we have soft water here with very little Algae in it..

I actually have one of only a handfull of wells in the state here that has soft water..
