wouldnt say Pinima body is too stubby looking I’d lean more toward an orino hybrid especially considering where the op lives they cross breed everything over there

This is what a Pinima body should look like 16”

I have to agree with kendragon that’s a pinima, tcav88 your pinima still has its juvenile markings and they tend to lose that torpedo shape once they hit adult size and add some girth. Could be wrong though just my opinion

these still have a way longer body than the op’s... Indonesia is well know for injecting fish getting them to breed most likely a hybrid of some sort

You may be correct. It really is just a guessing game.
