SA had armatus last yr. you missed out. Did you see the brycon whitei?
The second pic I've seen labled as Brycon Dentex or Ecuadorian barracuda
John over at ECZS had some
very aggressive
 
dude my lfs has one baby one look just like it with the teeth and the hump they are saying its a dorado and selling it for 100 bux kinda of tempting......
 
Charax Gibbosus I got some of them with a shipment of Payaras last year! They are very nasty fish and scale eaters. They were just taking full on bites off the bodys of my payaras. Very sensitive i heard to water conditions! I would stay away and get a big red tail payara! I think they do look cool at the big size and i dont think they eat scales off each other!
 
Well I already have a red-tail payara...more would be nice though!

I dont think those are Charax Gibbus cause they look much larger then the max size for a Charax Gibbus...
 
Yes after doing some searching i meant to say some kind of Charax Species! Since there are many species of Charax! Hopefully somebody can id them correctly! I just remeber the ones i had were about 4 inches, looked like those guys in the pic and were the meanest fish i ever had!
 
definatly not vamps i have 4 species of them and those are not
