do you have a still picture for ID? video is kind of hard as it keeps on moving.
I think I saw some barring spots, but not sure if those are some kind of reflection or the actual spots. if it has barring spots then I would sayd compressus, if not then probably rhombeus.
how big is it? if is rhom then should start to develop red eyes around 4"-5".
 
jp- ill try to get a still on here tomorrow. for some reason i can get a video to paste into a thread but not pics. (im not very computer smart) i really hope its a rhombeus, but he has red on the gills, and on the lower fin. i forget the name but i saw a piranha in a different thread that looked like him and it wasnt a rhom.
 
it was a marginatus in andoni's thread titled as such. looks pretty much the same, just thought id get some other opinions.
 
the one in video doesn't look like marginatus to me but the vid is blurry and fish doesn't stop moving so hard to say. some other serra species have certain similar appearance. try to get a good picture so we can try to ID it.
 
pm me if you have problem posting pictures
 
download
 
thats the best i can do. my phone's all i have to work with.
