This guy is on sale at my LFS as a Heros severus Curare "Tiger Severum". I'm wondering if it might actually be Heros sp. Inirida. He's only about 1" long... too small to tell?

$60 is a lot if you don’t know for sure.

I'm not finding many of them for sale online but $60 doesn't seem too bad for either fish, at least compared to Wet Spot and some others. Below Water has small Curare for a lot less but I don't want to go through the trouble of importing.

It sought of looks like a red shoulder Severums.
 
Did you ever get a solid ID on this? The “merged” stripe near the tail looks a lot like mine, which is also supposed to be a tiger severum (heros Severus). I paid $60 as well. They are great fish.90D86362-E040-45D0-AAA7-136A151B7A0A.jpeg
