Initially I thought these were irwini.. However upon recent speculation and analysis, both myself and my friend think this could be L.Dorsalis.

Any opinions?

I remember a few years ago I was madly after a Lithodoras but I've since given up on them as no one seems to be able to,or are willing to bring any in...Anyhow,the fish in the photo looks all the world to me like a Megalodoras....what makes you guys think it is not,the two species do not look very similar to one another?
 
....okay,there is some slight resemblance but the irwinni/urinoscopus is unmistakable.
I've just found these.

Theres three of them. One is 9", 15, 22".

Imma grab some more pics and post up. Thanks for the response so far Krich. Looking at them in light. They look similar to the litho in Rapps photo

Okay,can't wait to see them.
 
I guess it all depends on the demand for them..I bought my twelve inch and ten inch irwinii pair for $150 after the seller got tired of trying to get rid of them.A shop would have no problem charging at least one hundred bucks each for them....Same for the litho probably even-though they are much more rare and hard to come by.
 
I'm with krich on this one they look like irwini to me , nice :thumbup::)
