It's one of the smaller Doradids, likely from the genus of Hassar or Doras or other related. Fishman Dave seems to know a bit about their ID. This is outside of my window of experience.

You can expect corydoras-like behavior, just larger fish. Maybe hoplosternum catfish like.

Thank you! Do you have a rough idea of the average size this would get to?

They are smaller growing fish, by that I mean 3"-6" TL (total length) mostly. Gotta know the species ID to eliminate the guessing. I was glad to see your ID request on PCF https://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=50344#p331337 Hopefully we'll know sooner than later. It'd help to download and attach all Steve's photos (Exotic Fish Shop) of the fish on here and on PCF. Pics always help. Some people have too little time to go look somewhere else, plus it piques the interest 1000x more than text.

I saw you uploaded the pics on the other site, thanks! I have an order from Steve going out next week, so I added this guy to the order , now once I find out more, I’ll know which of my tanks to put it in lol

Could be one of a couple of fish such as
Hemidoras stuebelii
Hemidoras morei
Nemadoras elongatus
The fish pictured is not in the best condition to work out genus but I am sure the experts on pcf can help.
would suspect it not to grow larger than 6” though.

Thanks for the info, I’ll research those 3 species. I was hoping for 12-16” but I have a tank where it will do nicely at 6”. I’ve been eye balling this guy for a few months and finally pulled the trigger

He arrived today, he looks better than the original pics. I’m glad I bought this guy

How big would you say he is?
