Sabertooth is just a commen name. It can go for Scombs as well.

 

[justink]

no like the payara. obviously there must be a difference if one is around 400-500 dollars and one is about 30-40$

 

[Connor0729]

nope
payara aka vampire tetra aka sabertooh tetra
scientific name Hydrolycus scomberoides for the scomb, Hydrolycus armatus for the armatus

both go by the names in red
