ID on a wolffish

[TheViking]

Hey gyus, I'm Raymond, from cold cold Norway, new user on here, but have used your forum for information for a long time so thanks great forum

Bought a new fish this summer, it was sold as an Hoplias Aimara, but i am unsure.. Think you can help me ID it? i can get better pics if you need it, these are not very good i think.

Thanks in advance, Raymond.

but its no aimara.

Mala, I think

That don't look like a mala at all. Looks like a stressed out curupira.

 

[limz_777]

how much you paid for it ?

Agree with you.
Can easily tell by the finage marking
and the thunder marking on it face

thanks for answers! i payed around 150 dollars when calculated from my currency. same as malabaricus in this country, but they are hard to get a hold of.

searched for curupira and it is definately that one, i saw pics of it and itsa exactly the same, so thanks alot! are they worth more or?
