Hi all..A LFS from my area is about to make an order from a fish supplier and he sent us some photo of their fish..
Can u please help us ID these fish to make sure we get the right fish species before we make the final order?

TY ALL IN ADVANCE
 
Wolf 1 looks to be Aimara

Wolf 2 may be a little too small to tell but kind of has an Aimara type jaw

Hydrolycus 1 Armatus

Hydrolycous 2 Redtail Payara

This is all correct, however fish number two would have to be an Amapa Aimara with that coloration. What was the collection site?
 
TY for the feedback..I dont know many details yet.All i know for their origin is that some of them are from a region near Andes mountain (dunno which country though,but not brazil.maybe peru).
The whole story is like this: a bunch of us co-hobbyists have been trying to find some rare-to-find fish in Greece.
An LFS found two different fish suppliers from South America and gave us their lists.Both of these Suppliers sent these photo so we coud see the fish b4 we make an order.
They are all supposed to be aimara and armatus.However the difference in prices is pretty big between the 2 of them (again dunno why) and we have to choose one of them to possibly make the order.

PS: we found one of these pics on the web so we have some doubts about one :(
 
:popcorn: Tough one. Looks armatus, but tail color could mean tat... I'm not an expert on these so I am curious to see what the experts say.
 
wolf pic 2 is not a aimara
