First record of the South American sailfin catfish Pterygoplichthys multiradiatus in Bangladesh

Native to South and Central America, many of the 700 species of suckermouth armored catfishes (Loricariidae, Siluriformes) are popular with aquarium hobbyists as algae-controlling ornamental fishes and are therefore bred, shipped and sold around the world. They are characterized by bony plates cove...

They are characterized by bony plates covering the body, a pair of subterminal barbels, sucking lips, usually a spine in front of the adipose fin, and a flat-bottom body shape (Page and Burr, 1991), and are naturally occurring in a variety of freshwater habitats from sea level to 3000 m, often surviving in conditions that exclude other fishes.
