Eartheater ID Needed!!

So i was watching videos on youtube and came across one called Amazon: Rivers of the Sun and there is a brief clip of what i believe to be a geo. type species and was wondering what it is.

The fish appears at 7:35

Most commonly appearing Eartheater in this video is Acarichthys heckelii, which appears at the time you quoted and numerous times later on being eaten by Arapaima. I'd also like to add that they appear quite strangely, swimming at the surface and looking very sickly, and being watched by cameras. Probably not an unfortunate coincidence

I see. I just couldn't tell from that orange black tip on the fin but after googling I've run into some pictures of the displaying similar colors on their dorsal fin.
