That picture is very hard to view and will not generate an accurate ID.

From all I can see it has red eyes, and the body appears to be an S Rhombeus. All I can say is try to get a better flank shot.

your right im going to try and get a better picture

Frank ( hastasus ) is on vacation and he is the expert to help you best. It does usually require a better flank shot as b ack51 says. Looking at that photo I would guess at Serrasalmus maculatus or Serrasalmus Rhombeus. I think he is a little big for a mac but the tail looks to have a solid band at the back. But the picture is a little grainy.

I too am trying to get photos clear of mine and failing. I hoping Frank can give me his best guess when he returns, his best guess is good enough for me!

I would think S.maculatus or S Spilopleura but I am no expert

I must agree, even with the photo lighten more to see the body of the fish, its not good enough for any type of positive ID.

Please try again in jpeg format not GIF.
