Not heckelii, but it is about 2 feet from some.

Its either Satanoperca daemon or Satanoperca acuticeps...pretty sure thats daemon thoug..

 

[Jason_S]

well I'd say acuticeps due to the 3 spots...daemon (in the picture I just looked at) only has 2 black spots.

Yep, they are acuticeps. If their bars were showing, it would be easier to distinguish from daemon. They're also easy to tell apart on the price lists!

 

[Peanut_Power]

Yeah, i wasn't sure if daemon started out with three spots and then lost them as it got older. Technically daemon does have three spots if you count the caudual one...haha...oh well, i got it half right...

 

[Jason_S]

PP, you said acuticeps first so you go

 

[Peanut_Power]

I picked daemon, besides, you have pictures NOT from the internet..haha...and i have no fish right now.
