Not consumed — ornamental algae-eating catfish kept as a natural tank cleaner; widely popular in freshwater aquariums for its armored body and bottom-dwelling habits.
Species Overview
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
The Atlantic bluefin tuna is one of the largest bony fish, capable of crossing the Atlantic in under 60 days. A single specimen has sold for over $3 million at Tokyo's fish market. It can maintain a body temperature above the surrounding water.
Plecostomus
The common pleco is a large armored catfish native to South America. Often purchased as an algae eater, it can outgrow most home aquariums. Its sucker-like mouth allows it to rasp algae from surfaces and anchor itself in fast-flowing currents.
