"huapeta"

[hybridtheoryd16]

Yea there are 2 sellers on aquabid selling scombs as hupeta's

i am unsure if it is some south american slang word or a ploy to block the bad name scombs have gotten.

Hydrolicus scomberoides is the name i think. Ya the LFS sells them here as huapeta for 40 bucks. They grow to like 1.5 feet instead of the cousin (hydrolicus armatus, 5 feet). They are called sabretooth tetra

think less than one foot.
