Held Large Armored Pleco Catfish on Boat

A person wearing a red-and-gray work glove holds a large armored catfish (common pleco, *Hypostomus plecostomus*) vertically on a small boat. The fish features a textured, dark patterned body with prominent bony plates, extended dorsal and pectoral fins, and a characteristic downturned mouth. The background shows murky water, parts of the boat's interior, and a red plastic crate, suggesting a fishing or invasive species removal activity. Plecos are often invasive in non-native waters, disrupting local aquatic ecosystems by overfeeding and altering habitats.

The image captures a custom-designed two-compartment glass fish tank placed in a home. The upper compartment is filled with water, houses multiple small colorful ornamental fish, and has standard aquarium equipment including a filter installed. The lower compartment is a separate dry, water-free space, where a snow bengal cat is curled up comfortably on a soft white mat. The cat looks focused and calm as it watches the fish swimming directly above and beside it, able to observe the fish closely without getting wet or disturbing the tank's inhabitants. The scene is set on a grey tiled floor, with part of a grey rug visible to the left of the tank.
