Catfish ID

Post by Felix »

Collected a couple of these from a ditch in Florida. Looking around on Fishbase, it looks a lot like a Callychthis Callychthis or Hoplosternum Littorale -- or are those one and the same?

Well, I think it's safe to say that there's a pretty well established population in Zephyrhills, Florida. There were lots more that I left there.

Thanks

It's a well known fact that H. littorale is established in Florida.
