My family Doradidae Catfish collection

Whoaaa, that's not something one sees everyday. I have never ever seen any of these in my life. Very odd but cool looking cats.

Is it me, or they have more spines that usual?

How pricey are they? Rare?

the new few catfish like marble talking catfish seem like a yearly season. As for the 2 smaller ones they are to be unknown cant find any info in my book and planet catfish link. Now waiting for an expert to ID. As for spines, the younger they are the sharper for protection...eg niger catfish when i 1st bought the spines different from now..to me it is the same only the fish grow in length...

Same way i was, used to send full days traveling round to lfs to check there fish out, mags, clubs, fish shows, and now in the days of the internet most things are only a click away, but seeing them in the flesh is a lot better pic's.

Great collection by the way.
