Which Doradids are being kept by PC members?

We have an awesome thread on woodcats. What about talking cats? Where's the love?

I'll start:

I've got a breeding group of four .

I used to have , but they didn't survive long after import. Hoping to add them again, plus other small- medium sized species, including thanks to a recent post (HERE).
Cheers, Eric

Good morning,
for my part I have 3 Platydoras armatulus (1 male and 2 females) which I will try to reproduce.
I really like their air of... well, I don't really know! They are a bit of a homebody but seeing them swimming has always seemed soothing to me.

Hi Voxxy,
Your post indicates you're in Roseville, California. That's right in my backyard, Stockton. Do you attend the Sacramento Aquarium Society monthly meetings, or did you attend our FIN-DIG 2023 in June? If not, please consider attending. In November, we have a Doradidae specialist speaking to the club. You can find more info HERE and HERE.

Cheers, Eric
