Looking good mate did you pick him up from wildwoods???

Yeah, i spotted them in the quarentine room a couple of weeks back when i was there but they werent ready for sale so i had to wait till this weekend just gone to collect it.

I wasnt going to post pictures just yet but someone on another forum doubts its the true Lithodorus so i've linked them to here to take a look.

Ohh that is nice, hard to get hold of?
It should get pretty monsterous too shouldnt it, about 20" or so...Looks big though now.

Theyre pretty rare in the hobby, so rare that the guys on planet catfish doubted i even had a real Lithodorus, a look at the pictures has proved them wrong though.

Adult size is about 2 feet i'm told, but in typical Doradid fashion it will take many many years to grow to full size, its about 10" at the moment.

The other one was still there in the main shop when i collected it but i dont know if its still there, theyre not cheap so its quite likely it is though, expensive fish usually take a little while to sell

As far as i know they are pretty hardy fish once they are acclimatised and eating properly, mines already started feeding well on frozen foods so thats half the battle won. I can't say the price but it was over £130.
