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.

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..
