5-6" M. uranoscopus "Mother of Snails" catfish... Gentle Giant that is not commonly seen in the hobby, like it's more common Doradidae cousin,,, Pseudodoras niger. Very impressive looking when adults... kinda like a "Jurassic Armored Tank" w/ sawblade-like spikes along the sides of it's body!!

Great "clean up" fish... eats anything, sinking pellets, algea wafers, redworms, fd tubifex, fd krill, live/frozen brine, thawed shrimp pieces... ANY left-over food remains it finds!! Please send email or PM if interested. Pickup in N. cali, san jose, bay area. $50

This particular catfish is perhaps one of the more colourful of the members of the family Doradidae, and is also one of the larger species hence the common names. This catfish is quite often described as being one of the "Tank Busters" due to the fact that it can grow up to 610mm or 24" standard length (from the tip of the snout to the base of the caudal peduncle). The local name given to this fascinating catfish is "Key-way-mamma" which refers to the common name of "mother of the snails". The reason for this common name being due to the fact that when a specimen was examined the intestine was lined with large aquatic snails along its length. Some of you reading this information may be wondering why the scientific name for this fish is not Megalodoras irwini, the reason being that the name has been recently changed and that the old name is now a synonym.
