armored catfish in Florida
– There is another invasive species causing problems in Florida. It's a fish, with a suit of armor, known as Plecostomus, or “Pleco” or the Armored Catfish. Despite the fact that it only eats algae, it's causing problems with one of Florida's most at-risk species.

Grown extensively by fish farms for the tropical fish industry.
