Orinocodoras eigenmanni?

Post by Dimidiata »

Hoping this is O. eigenmanni instead of P.armatulus. I have multiple large armatulus and this guy definitely has a longer nose than them. He also has mottling on his underside and anal fin where my armatulus are solid grey/white

Now you've inspired me to troll through stocks of armatulus at my local stores, looking for these. You've created a monster in me. :))

I was in Cincinnati, Ohio yesterday and the day before. I visited Chris Benes' Finspiration Aquatics store. They have a tank with several Orinocodoras eigenmanni for sale, if anyone is still interested.

I would have bought some, except that I found four Microglanis of what I think are Microglanis aff_iheringi variant 3 and four ! (both which I bought instead).
