Shane,
Cool article and it was great meeting you at the catfish convention! Could Loricariids really be found in PA, as the article states? (I am in PA and it has been really nippy here all summer, let alone our winter temps. Just doesn't seem pleco-friendly.)

It was great to meet you as well. I would check with the PA Department of Fisheries (maybe they have a website?) and see what reports they have.
