My vote: Megalodorus uranoscopus.

I have two and I wouldn't get rid of them for anything...definitely a favorite of mine.

In the Doradidae family, yeah, there are quite a few, but the uranoscopus is the only cat I know of in the Megalodoras genus.

Here's a list of Doradidae members:

I am with KenyanSandBoa the megalodoras uranuscopus/irwini is brilliant. I also have two and have had them since i was 12 only 5 years mind but i wouldn't swap them for anything, best catfish i have ever owned i like them even more than my tigrinus or trachycorystes trachycorystes although i can highly recommended the trachycorystes trachycorystes, its kind of armored.
