tiger or carapo.
The size will tell you in the future. There are many naked back knifefish out there that looks very similar in patterns but most grow to max of 10-13 inches. If it grows bigger than 13" then there is a chance that it could be a g. carapo or g. tigre. If it grows bigger tha 16" then it's a g. carapo. The patterns looks like a g. carapo, but I'm not 100% as I'm also getting started on keeping this fish.
I'm pretty sure this is Gymnotus carapo because the head is a fairly consistent brown color. Gymnotus tigre has pale-yellow spots on the head. Also the stripes on the tigre are very shart with high contrast.
