He is awesome little guy.. i saw mine all the time day in and day out.. my husband just moved him and said you find him if you can in one of the tanks:headbang2 i will probably not find him either..:grinno:
 
Liz, are you sure yours isnt the more common striped ralph (Platydoras costatus) and indeed one of the fish I have pictured?

No one has still properly IDed this guy!

I am not sure now :D as soon as i find him again and take a picture i will let you know..so what kind is this new guy anyway??????:headbang2
 
Megalodoras Uranoscopus?
 
i found a pic of both of mine.. spotted and striped...so yours is different then both of these??
 
Liz, I love the pattern on that spotted ralph. Nisce costatus as well.

My new guy is an Orinocodoras eigenmanni.

Here is the planet catfish article on it..

http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=612

At first they look similiar to striped ralph cats. When you compare them. the orinoco is quite different. They tend to be more black, have a longer snout, marbeled belly, larger adipose fin and reportedly get 12"!!

Not a bad pick up for $4!
 
That was my next guess.:D
