Hello,
Those are Tetras, some kind Leporinus/Prochiluds, there are thousand of different kinds in SouthAmerica.

I agree.

But WOW that cichla is AWESOME, what kind is it?

 

[crenipterus svenagalus]

i would have guessed the same family as cigar fish and pencil fish.

Headstander or Pencilfish? Looks almost Cyprinidy to me...
^^One, Leporinus is NOT a Characin, but closely related Two, Leporrinus have verticle stripes as a rule

Leporinus are, in fact, characins.
Also, I'd imagine there are some kinds of lesser seen leporinus that have horizontal stripes.

They are Anostomus taeniatus Common name Lisa (yes its true the name )

I just looked it up, Leporinus are in the suborder of Characins butg branch out into their own family. Just like all Catfish are in Siluridei, but Plecos aren't closely comparible to a Redtail Catfish.

And your point is....?

Both plecos and RTC are Siluridei just like both Leporinus and hydrolycus are characins...
