Can anyone ID this ATF and Paraya

[Chicxulub]

In the eastward flowing rivers of Tanzania, we find the dominant ATF is the tanzaniae, which is, genetically, very closely related to the vittatus complex. They are directly descended from the vittatus complex via allopatric speciation. They went on to fill the same ecological niche as the Goliaths fill in the westward flowing rivers. Basically, the tatf is a vittatus that is trying its best to be a Goliath. lol Also in the eastward flowing rivers is the brevis, which is being supressed by the tanzaniae. In these rivers, the brevis fills the same ecological niche as the tanzaniae and doesn't get as big as it does in the rest of its range....

Should read "brevis fills the same ecological niche as the vittatus do in the Congo"...

Ooops. lol

Wow that was an interesting read! Thanks chixculub.
If you expand it a bit and add pictures we could make it a sticky

Here were the close ups of the fish. The seller included the close up of the jaw so I hope this helps with the identification.

IMO goliaths are by far the easiest to identify, even at very small sizes.... their jaw and head shape, and tail shape/coloring, and body coloring are unique and distinct, although i've never seen a small brevis to see if they look more "Goliath" like

I'd still call it vittatus
