Took a vid of this group earlier and it looks like there are actually two different sp. in the vid.

these were sold as "red tail 'cudas" but they look to be really slender in body shape and face/jaw looks different from the sp. falcatus as well.

Any help I.D.'ing them would be great.


p.s. Not referring to the two Hujetas, I know those are in there.
 
those are yellow tail barracudas
 
yellow tails. Red tails are more robust.
 
There's like 4 that have the "robust" look or taller body while the others are slender and long. Also looks to have one or two with the turned down nostril/jaw.

Will try and get a better vid of the group.

ya post pics. do they have the redish tails.?
 
All of them have a bit of red in their tails, these are fairly small, biggest I would say reaches maybe 3".

They're getting situated in the tank so they've been cowarding to dark corners. Will keep trying for better pics.
