Thanks for the info on the taxonomic classification. I originally thought they were an undescribed species, but I was led to believe they were vazzo's. However, I swear there's a sport fishing outfit in Brazil that offers Rio Trevasseo as one of it's spots. I'll have to research a bit but I'm pretty sure that they even use that pic on their website. If that's the case, I'd imagine that there might be a slim hope that some will get out of that area into the hobby someday. I hope. That is one beautiful fish.

Very true. The site you are thinking of is Acute Angling formally known as Amazon Fringe which is ran by Paul and Gary Riess. I will be making a trip in February next year to this area with Paul as the guide.
 
This is going to sound basic because a ton of people have these, but being 17 and still living with my parents, I dont have enough money and space to set up HUGE tanks like other guys on the website, I could only dream about keeping a school of about 4 azul and 3 or 4 pinimas and a couple of rio negro orino, but thats just me...

That's what you like and that's good enough.People do have these fish but they are still hard to come by,especially the Pinima I have'nt seen them on anyones(vendors) lists for a few years now.
