I'd guess melanurum.

Synspilum

I googled both and they look the same! What's the difference in the two?

Do you think this is a male or female? He/she is about 8" long.

Apparently they have now been classified as the same fish. Though I think there is a definite difference between the 2. As for sexing, not a chance by looking at the fish, you will have to vent it.

In early 2012 that was a Vieja Melanurus. Now it's something else, and will change again...

Thanks fellas. I was worried about putting him with my rays, altifrons, arowana etc but all is well thus far.
I take it they're not too aggressive or should I worry?

looks like a hybrid between two paraneetroplus types: Melanurus/snyspillum and ????
