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
i will probably not find him either..
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
as soon as i find him again and take a picture i will let you know..so what kind is this new guy anyway??????Not an Uranoscopus either. That was my last pick up...I love these doradids. I also have a 7"+ Platydoras costatus.
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..

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!
