Hi Dave,

where did you find those. Austin or San Antonio? I would be interested in one.

Thanks,

Ken

Dave,

Looks like Pterodoras granulosis. Grows quite big as you know. I have one now. They are very active fish. In nature they are pelagic, mine is constantly swiming around the tank.

Thanks Lee and Mark!

At 2" they just don't look like they'll grow into a monster
Pterodoras granulosus

I emailed Ken. He'll pick up one of mine the next time he is in town.
