Loricariidae
Loricariidae is the largest family of catfish (Order Siluriformes), with almost 700 species and new species being described each year. Loricariids originate from fresh water habitats of Costa RicaPanama, and South America. These fish are noted for the covering of bony plates covering their bodies and a suckermouth. Several genera are sold as plecos, notably the suckermouth catfish, Hypostomus plecostomus, and are popular as aquarium fish.
