So these were labeled as "H Scomberoides - Red Tail Payara". Either way, I picked them up cause the price was good for 5-6". They looked like Scombs when I got them but as they have settled, the red/brownish color is really coming through on the caudal and adipose. I'm leaning towards tats, what do you experts think?

I am by no means, an expert. But I believe they are Armatus. Swimming at a mostly straight angle unlike Scombs and I think the eyes look smaller proportionally compared to Tats. Awesome color though, like I said I'm no expert so I could definitely be wrong. I'm interested in seeing what the actual experts say. Either way, looks like you picked up some great fish!
 
I vote tatauaia. The adipose fin looks to match the caudal fin to me.

Edit: also no white edge on the fin. Tats are ny favorite, super jealous! :D

Ok fellas thanks. What would you say is the average price for a 5-6" Tat nowadays?
 
Most of them that I've seen have been about $100
