Alright, nobody can seem to tell me what this guy is... He was sold to me as a pictus... but i've had suggestions of a spotted pim, a pictus, or a 4 line.
Well he has spots, but not random big dark ones like a pictus, they are pretty linear... here's pics.

Kinda looks like P.blochii (four-lined cat) but a little different. This is mine.

I think p.blochii as well thier patterns are often broken up not always "four lines"
 
Its pimelodus blochii they lose there four lines after around 3'' there pattern can varie alot from a dull silver to lines going all over to some spots with lines going all over to alot of spots and not really any lines like your

P.maculatus has spots in its fins very distinctive
 
Young P blochii :)

He's a pretty fun fish, on the weeks he decides to eat, haha
