[catfishlover106]

srry but I just looked around seeing what a megalodoras irwini looks like and it is possitively not a irwini...

Awesome fish don't often see them it's a Pteredoras granulosus(Bacu). Not sure I spelled that right. I have one myself be warned they get big. You check some of my post's to see pics of mine. You can look them up on planetcatfish.com. Type Bacu or Common Bacu in the search and it should come right up. It's definetly not a Megalodoras I've got those too and they appear more heavily armored and they're color pattern is brighter.

Yes i agree its a P granulosus

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

pterodoras(correct spelling?) granulosus.
