Difference between Payara question

[aro-man]

Hey everyone, is there a way to tell the difference between Scomberoides and Tatuia Payara at about 2-3in? Was thinking about getting some since i ALWAYS wanted one, but i want a redtail. Thanks guys!

hope this helps it can be kinda hard when rely young, bottom is an armatus, middle is a redtail and top is a scomb.

Whoa SICK!!!! hmmm... looks like scomb as a smaller jaw and a more upturned head...maybe..YOU AND YOUR AWESOME FISH!!!! I'm not the jealous type but DAMN im jealous!!!

p.s.thanks for the help

Duh! Should have done this from the start! What kind of payara do these look like to you?

Hard to tell from the pics, but my first guess is redtails. Try to get some better pics.

 

[plausible]

how much does it usually cost at you guy's country
ive seen it on sale at $128sgd and its about 4-5inches

 

[KRSwop1]

usually anywhere from 40 to 60 usd.

Sorry, dont have better pics cause they're not mine (yet)! They were $30 for 3inchers. Hope they are redtails!

they look like scombs to me but could be diff. hard to tell. i get them for around 30 bucks depending on size and species. would definatly be a sweet pick up.
