This Great Blue Heron has captured a "Plecostomus". Hypostomus plecostomus, the suckermouth catfish or common pleco, is a tropical fish belonging to the armored catfish family (Loricariidae). This species' native range is tropical South America. They are large algae eaters, and are extremely popular in aquaria for their ability to clean tanks by eating algae. They are an invasive species released in Florida thanks to the pet industry.
