Just got this guy, going to try and get in tank shot once he settles. It's got blue/turquoise fins which you can't see. I'm leaning towards tor tambroides? What do you guys think? I'll try to get more pics up soon.

Neolissichius Hexagonalis IMO, green mahseer? my blue mahseer had a vertical stripe along its body when it was around that size

Totally agree with you on Tor Tambroide. Head shape, scale size and color all resemble it.
Neo Hex is copper and has a more pointed head.
 
Any more pics ?

I've kept a few Tor Tambroides from small, but never notice anyone of them with blue/turquoise fins.

The color of the fins in the second shot can be attributed to Picture Quality and the background, not the fish. If the fins were really blue, it would be on the first picture.
 
Black edgings on caudal fin and eye size point me in the direction of Neolissichilus hexagonalepis, the copper masher. You'll find out for certain as it fills out, all the coppers I've had are greedy, fat pigs.
