Orinocodoras eigenmanni?

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

Cool!

Much appreciated, came from the distributor SunPets in FL, US for those stateside. Showed up in a Pets Plus chain as P.armatulus of course so check those.

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. :))

Cheers, Eric

Let me know if you have any luck I'm going back to look for more here this week now that the new shipment's in. This guy was out with my 10-in armatulus's this morning eating out in the open already

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).
