I know the top one is not a payara. There are scombs, tats, and armatus and this is neither one of them.

The second one I believe is Oligosarcus jenynsii. Very cool fish with the face of an ATF and the body of a dorado!!

Are they large glass head standers? look like them but only seen small ones..

Bottom is some sort of acestro?
 
thank god! now i know im not the only one on a characins fix,
i think im going to set up a few monster tanks with about every species of
characins i can find, they are such awsome fish :)
i think the only tank i will end up thats not
characins might be a lone arow, other then that all characins + bottom feeders,

they ROCK!:headbang2
 
The only problem with them is that most are very hard to get off of live food!

Im hoping to get a 300 soon and my plan is a coulple wide bar dats, indo dat, a bichir or two and then some characins. So far I have an ATF, Fei feng, and redtail payara. My dream fish would be ARMATUS!!!

Are guys saying its a payara to piss me off?! I KNOW neither are NOT payara!!!

They are definitely not payara. They just resemble them, that's all. Expect other people to chime in saying that they are, only because of the resembelance.
 
my lfs has one of these too!
ive been tryin to figure it out for ages (the top one)
