Looks like a Spilo..

 

[AWD_Fury]

i think it looks like a spilo

 

[piranha_guy_dan]

gold spilo's get red eyes? i cant get a good pic of his eye because my cam takes away the red eye on it..... but it has red eyes in there somewhere and do spilo's get a blakc humeral spot like that?

 

[dutchfrompredator]

that looks like alot of gold spilos i've seen. if it is, it's a beautiful specimen. if it somehow turns out to be a rhom, then really beautiful specimen.

 

[mashunter18]

will definitely be spilo or mac

 

[piranha_guy_dan]

if you look closely it has an unjury almost like a bite mark on its chest area near the pectoral fins........ so i have been adding aquarium salt to try and help heal him up

 

[dutchfrompredator]

that wound will heal up within a week if he's healthy. salt and a water change and a bite to eat and he'll be sound as a pound. i think he's going to be a real looker once the wound and the fins are 100%.

looks like a spilo to me

 

[rbp 4 135]

i think that it is a mac :nod:
it lacks the spots that many spilos shows.

agreed

 

[Tinkerbelle]

its pretty whatever it is.

 

[Genin]

it's a spilo.

I wouldn't venture a guess on the fish. But I'm having doubts it is an S. spilopleura. Some of the features common (ie; humeral spot and midline band) are not apparent. Looks more like S. maculatus. Try for a better photo.

 

[Grosse Gurke]

He looks exactly like the little maculatus I had.

 

[MR HARLEY]

Mac

 

[piranha_guy_dan]

soooooooooooooo is this rare or what? i paid 59.99 cdn for him is that a good price? and what are some perks about this kind? cause they told me it was a gibbus or silver scaled piranha it was marked on the sticker as......
