Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii?

[EAC007219]

Was at LFS unlabeled. Any ideas what species this is? Looks like a Brachyplatystoma rousseauxiito me, but I'm still not 100%.

that tail/ tail color is a good indicator... its lacking the typical jurnese type pattern but judging by the size of the pump pictured behind it just seems like its a small specimen whose pattern didnt come in yet. B. rousseauxxii would b a stark silver/chrome colored. every jur ive seen/owned has that purple/blue/black base like the one uve pictured. finnage/head/body shape is all correct for jurnese also.

Agree with all Wednesday has said.

If it is 2" or smaller, it may not display the bands / two colors yet.

Not positive of ID, I trust the two above posters, one thing I do know is it is not a rousseauxii.
