IT does indeed, means you are observant.

 

[Grosse Gurke]

Sorry, posted in the incorrect place. S. humeralis?

 

[hastatus]

Can see why you would post that, but no. S. humeralis would appear more like S. eigenmanni, which is surprising was not brought out before.

 

[LouiCypher]

Is it a young Compressus?

No.

 

[LouiCypher]

Is the tail like that throughout it's life? How old is that specimen?

 

[SERRAPYGO]

About 3 or 4 inches I'm guessing. Irritans?

Hopefully I won't need the skill of correctly identifying dead piranahs.

 

[LouiCypher]

Bilineatus?

No, not irritans.....but learning this skill does help. Once you know what they look like dead you can ID them alive better and from bad photographs.

Unable to give you an age, no time to examine scale. But the fish length is 71mm SL.

No, one more guess Cypher then need to allow others to try.

Good try. Give you credit for that.

 

[SERRAPYGO]

Ok, my wheels are grinding...

I want to say Ghouldingi but I believe they have more vertically elongated spots than that one has.

Otherwise, marginatus?
