My family Doradidae Catfish collection

[necrocanis]

Arn't Oxydoras biggest in family, along with Lithodoras, seen Pterydoras 30"+ too, dont think Megalodoras gets much more than 2ft.

Thinking the same here, but I've been proven wrong before. I have seen some huge megs though.

Haha bro you are the expert in catfish ID..but for irwini i seen 1 alive that is abit more than 2ft...or else I would have believe you too wait till you see the niger in their tank it is even bigger than irwini...

I am just unsure if there is 2 type of irwini..the one big pc i saw got a more round face..not like the type of small ones i keep... i try to get picture of it from the LFS cos I know them and they seem friendly enough... best part is they even paste MFK sticker on the tank haha...

Currently I got 2 niger.. 1 pc growth rate rather normal..but the other one growth rate almost like RTC but abit slower that all..scary

Well the way i read this, i said Megaldoras gets a little over two feet, like you and i said.

And yeh Niger does grow a lot bigger, but i said this also by saying Oxydoras is the biggest in the family

Oh and know what you mean about Megaldoras having small mouths, but seems to me they have a small mouth when small, but with growth it seems to widen as the head becomes broader.

That pc of 2 ft+ M.irwini used to belong to brudder ezman. Was there since Jason's era. Tank size should be 4ft by 4ft.
