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.

Not Dave here but I think those are the cats I saw at Amazonia this weekend here in Austin.

Thanks Lee and Mark!

At 2" they just don't look like they'll grow into a monster :shock:

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