ID?

[BOTR]

Just curious. I found him in a tank of danios, sold to me as a danio. But he was like 3x the size of the rest, eyes are too huge, and his mouth is not anything like the mouth of a danio. I tossed him in my mixed tank and now he chases the cories all over the place. In tank pics impossible as he just darts all over the place.

What am I?

My guess is barb

 

[pupumole]

it is definitely not a tarpon , thats for sure

it could be a Opsariichthys or zacco , but then the scales doesnt look too much like my own zacco/O. mix but i'll still go wit it being a Op. or zac

one of the barbs i bet.
much like those that seem to be becoming so common now.

Definitely not a Tarpon, looks like a species of Luciosoma, probably L.setigerum. Can you get a shot of the tail?

After watching it swimming and comparing to pics on the site I was leaning Tarpon, but you guys sound positive that it's not. I will try to get better pics this weekend.

BTW after searching for pics of the suggested ID's I'll say it is closest to the Tarpon, more pics to follow hopefully.
