Hi all, I am new to the forum, but I heard this is the place to go to get some good information. The other day my wife came home with a couple fish that I had never heard of before. She thought they were the coolest thing, and I had to agree. But now I am beginning to think that we are in over our head. These were sold to her as Payara. Now I have never heard of them before so I went out searching the net for information to get a possitive ID. Well it seems there are many of these "vampiresque" fish out there, and it's difficult to know for sure what we have. Can someone here give me a 100% on these. If they are true Payara....I am a bit concerned that I might not have a tank big enough to keep them. Thanks all.

Thanx Bottomfeeder! Though now I am actively looking for a 200g because I think I am going to need it....we'll see though...maybe I need to sell them off if they get to large.
