As per the moment from what I am aware they babies are pretty much done for the season, I have more coming in currently but they're going to be around 5", more than likely though Caribe will start coming in again at the 1"-2" mark around April

About 1.5"-2"(35mm-50mm)
Definitely in the Family Serrasalmidae
Most likely in the Genus of Myloplus but possibly in Myleus.
Was thinking possibly Myloplus arnoldi or torquatus.. but have not been able to come across pictures of smaller specimens
...
Markings:
-No Hard Rays
-Black tipped Anal fin (slight orange tinge in some specimens clear portion of anal fin)
-First ten or so anal soft rays are longer than the rest
-Dorsal soft rays taper from longer to shorter
-All Specimens have a Humeral spot
-All specimens have light blotching on flanks past humeral spot
-VERY Faint Orange coloration forming behind gill plate under humeral spot
Hey thanks for the info Mike! I will watch for those 5 inchers. I might change my mind and go with some of them instead of waiting for those babies next April. Any idea on price?
Still haven't been able to get any credible pictures of these buggers. if it helps any the goliaths have those snub nosed jaws with larger teeth and the Tanzanians have white tipped fins, more pointed jaw like the vitattus and are starting to get some hue to them color wise
I should have one laying around on my laptop I took when I got them in, if you can give me a few to post them id appreciate it, in the middle of cleaning systems and employee
training at the moment haha
I definitely can but I might not be able to get them up until tomorrow evening. as I stated above im in the middle of a few things but im separating tanks in one of the systems currently so I can set up the Xingus to let them settle in and be able to get some quality photos with some decent exposure
