the original poster's fish, which has stripes resembling M. fasciatus, but has beak like ossubtus, that is why I coined the term tiger parrot pacu. The mouth structure is not like that of any metynnis sp. but more similar to mylesinus sp.

Probably a Curimata sp. its not a mullet. Its a characin noted by the adipose fin. Similar related to Prochilodus sp.

the tiger parrot is called that because the mouth structure is completely different than the metynnis group of fish, including fasciatus. here is an example of a 5" specimen in my tank. and I have fasciatus also in the same tank for comparison. They're not closely related at all

its a forskahlii big eyes have not been seen or imported in a couple of years already. we import thousands of tiger fish yearly.

yeah when these grow big they are green and have pink shoulders. i have some that are about 4.5" now. but they are definitly no m. fasciatus.

this is a cyprinid, puntius orphoides. its not a characin

neither are temensis, depending on where you bought them from. its possible that they're hybrids from asia. Melaniae or pinima x with temensis

I respect the fact that you live in Thailand and that you've been to many fish places. I've been to Thailand many times, to JJ, I also export fish all around the world. I use to buy pulcher in taiwan for $150 each at 12", as they got too big and nobody wanted them. When Cambodian and Vietnam...

they've been "bred" in a secret place in Thailand and have been exported for some time now. the super A grade ones are sold direct to China. They are not fake or Selected indo three bar datnoids. I've been keeping fish and selling datnoids for over 25 years.

Here are some recent imports from 8/2023!

the one being sold as folha, is not "Utiaritichthys" at all. Utiaritichthys are a much larger fish with a different body shape. The "greenish / yellow " spp. should be a myleus spp. but its not described to my understanding. I had some for sale, but I'm out. You can find some of my IG...
