I absolutely LOVE the look of these cats, and am trying to find some. I know absolutely NOTHING about them though. Assumin they are a type of Doradidae, but aside from that know nothing. Does anyone have any info or know where to get some at? Thankz!

Can't help with where you could purchase some,
living this side of the pond and all.

I know absolutely NOTHING about them

For information have you read the section on them in Planet Catfishes cat-elog ?

That is of course not Doras cf. carinatus, but they should behave similarly, grow to similar size, etc [at least, they are MOST likely to - it depends a little bit on who came up with "cf." to that particular species and how much research was done to come to that conclusion - a "cf." can be given for many reasons, the most common is that the fish is from outside the (known) region of the described species, or have similar but not identical body-features, such as number of rays in fins etc].

Since the fish in the picture is list from French Guyana, it's unlikely that you will find it in the trade, as French Guyana isn't (currently) a big export location for the Ornamental Fish Trade.

If you're not very particular about the exact species, you may have more luck finding the non-cf version, but I must say that it's not the most likely candidate to be found as a common import. [Simply because of the geographic distribution - much of the export is either from Eeastern Brazil (Rio Xingu) or Peru and Colombia].
