MFK Exlcusive - Dorado or Gilded Catfish

[Isaaczi]

Related to the tigrinus and Shovelnose Cat, this Gilded Catfish, commonly known as Dorado or Dourado is a true Amazon giant.

The classification ever changing, it is known as Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii or Brachyplatystoma flavicans. These can easily go for several hundred dollars.http://www.aquariacentral.com/species/db.cgi?db=fresh&uid=default&ID=0293&view_records=1

We only have 6 specimens left between 4-5" and they will go fast. We are offering them ONLY to our wholesalers and MFK members for $120 as long as they last.

Enjoy.

No I think that was B. filomentsum(sp?) a cousin of this fish that gets 10ft(johnptc and others have been looking for them) but this one still gets big.

Ok... All done, the 6 Dorados are gone!! That was a good bargain.

Also, there are only a couple of Saber tooth Paraya (Armatus) left.
