Megalodoras uranoscopus aka Irwini catfish, Giant Talking Catfish, Giant Raphael Catfish http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=143

They vary in appearance somewhat but really are hard to confuse with other Doradidae.

Just had to chip and say those are pretty sweet looking fish!

 

[probassfisher010]

I would concur that they are baby megalodoras irwini

Something about the head shape makes me think they aren't. Not sure.

Lithodoras dorsalis?

 

[thebiggerthebetter]

I've carefully reconsidered. I don't see any reason to think these are not classic and commonly-looking baby irwini.

I am growing up a dozen of them from different sources, from 3". They are now ~1'. They all looked like that with slight variations in color hues and spot pattern etc. There is really no other Doradid I can even propose as a remote alternative.

Not trying to be wayward or steamroll over anyone. Just my humble opine. Feel free to pick it apart - I love learning.
