ID my new dorid

[fishlover88]

So went into the LFS the other day to pick up some stuff with the old man. And walked out $50 poorer and two fish richer. Got an L-114 and this little dorid cat that i saw hiding in the corner of a different tank. This wasnt the typical every day dorid so i bought him, and got it for 6.99. Any ideas guys??? i have been through all my catfish books, both Scotcat, planetcatfish, and fishbase, and still cant decide.

Its a young Pterodoras granulosus

wayne, you are the man.

I swear to you. I looked in the tank saw it, and said to myself holy crap i bet that is a granulosus. But then i started to look around and couldnt find any younger pics.


Good deal??

Good deal?

Not sure, depends what you paid, and what they go for. But great catfish thats for sure. virtually indestructible and quite active, well for a Dorad anyway

yeah i already noticed a huge difference between him and my other dorids. (Agamyxis pectinifrons, Megalodoras uranoscopus, Platydoras costatus) Currently hes in a 10 gal until he is big enough to join the big boys. i paid 7 bucks as a talking catfish . So ill do some research see how much everyone else has been selling them for....
