Brycon finally in the big tank.

the last one of 4. Don't really know what happened to the other 3, they just perished for an unknown reason. This one being the biggest what survived.

So hard to get a decent picture of him though.
Currently around 8/9" wild caught from Venezuela at 4". Had him a few months, this fish was brought into the country for one of the magazine shoots and then offered up for sale.
Quite a story behind him!

Falcatus? Melanopterus?

Black stripe through the tail?

I have a massive Brycon here. Been here many years. Guessing like 18" or so.... One of the toughest fish I've ever had.
