Hoplosternum littorale by Colin D. Calway
Summary: Colin was surprised to find this non-native armored catfish breeding naturally in a pond on his fish farm in central Florida.
They are fairly small catfish, and range in size from the tiny 3 cm Aspidoras pauciradiatus to Hoplosternum littorale, which tops out just over 20 cm. Living habits are varied; the family includes both bottom foraging and mid-water species.
