Re: Doradid
Dave,
If you would like to email me a few pictures (esp. as they are now e.g. adult) then I will have a chat with Jose Birindelli about them. He was one of the co-authors on that species description too and is helping me revise that family in the cat-elog.
Cheers,
Jools

Re: Doradid
It's hard to tell from the image but they look like pigmentation rather than pores. If so it rules out phlyzakion.
According to Mark Sabaj we need a pic of the infranuchal scute to be more helpful ion ID.
Get a close up of the end of the post cleithral (humeral) process and we might be able to see part of the infranuchal scute.
He thinks it has a look of Doras carinatus.

Re: Doradid
Yes but you need to concentrate nearer the tip and the scutes/bones above and near teh end of it (left hand end as you look at this picture)

Re: Doradid
I will lighten the last image up and see if Mark can ID it based on the image.

Re: Doradid
I'm inclined to add it to the site as Doras phlyzakion. Any feedback from Mark, Steve?

Re: Doradid
cool!
this is exactly the same fish that we would get in the late 80' and early 90's in the shop labelled as "Hassar notospilus"
it's a golden oldie.
unfortunately very few LFS wanted to order them, back then the mortality rate with these was too high.

Sorry, Mark didn't get back to me the last time. I think he's been out of the country and very busy.
