Hey guys,
Can someone please i.d. My payara for me. Up until today i always thought it was an armatus, but i never got a positive i.d. I guess i just always assumed since thats what it looks like to me. Although im not the best at i.d's.
so what do you guys think?

Tatauiaia 100% you can tell by pointed jaw structure and same color on adipose to rear fins. Looks identical to one of my old tats. Nice fish!

Tat. The tail fins to dark in color and the little fin on top by the tail fin would be bright red if it was an armatus
 
Looks like a tatauaia to me from those pics. How's the growth rate been on him since you've had him? That's another good way to tell. If he's growing at a super fast rate, then you could say possible armatus. The pics def look like a tat to me, though.
 
Lookin tat to me too, another good way to tell is when its yawning or eating the army's will have the typical very thick and long bottom teeth while tats seem to have not quite as pronounced "sabers"

Looks like tat to me as well. You can tell by the adipose fin, it's not as red as an armatus, the black gill spot, its a lot thicker than an armatus, and the angle of the pectoral fins, they're more at an acute angle compared to the armatus.
