Newest addition to the 10x4.5. Really happy with this guy. Like a shark in the tank constantly cruising.

TBH limited knowledge of background, ending up trading my aimara for this guy. I'm not great at ID but from my understanding spotting smaller than eye are an ID trait of capa. Could be wrong. If so...I will need a bigger aquarium. Tankmates include 3 BD rays, flagtail, Gatf, apurensis and a ripsaw cat.
I've been looking at some big fiberglass tanks. Problem is I'll have to convince wife of knocking out a section of our full basement foundation to get it in lol...
It's vice versa and when they are small, at the usual for sale size.
To my eye, yours is a filamentosum. Yet there is this controversy currently where many peers call the filamentosum from Peru capapretum (as opposed to those from Suriname and maybe Brazil) because they grow slower or smaller or both, so you might not need to knock out a load bearing wall of your basement

That's the hope. I did get a little info on this guy. It is 3 years old and just at 2ft. So seems to be a slow grower as compared to the Suriname piraiba
