Found this guy with a batch of Platydoras armatulus and was wondering if anyone could positively ID it. I'm guessing P. costatus?
Not the best photo, I realize, but you get the idea.

Platydoras ID?
Hello,
Found this guy with a batch of Platydoras armatulus and was wondering if anyone could positively ID it. I'm guessing P. costatus?

Re: Platydoras ID?
Found a fairly recent (2008) key to the species of Platydoras this morning. Based on the first dichotomy, it would have to be P. costatus. Anyone else keeping these?
Here's the link to the key:
