I know its some type of geo. I picked it up today at a shop i had never gone before, he caught my eye and i had to have him! Hes around 5-6 inches.

S. jurupari would not have the spangling on the muzzle that yours does. If I was you I would start treating for internal parasites. That belly is looking pretty sunken. It is going to be a beautiful fish when it puts on a little weight/size.

Yea the lady i bought him/her from only fed it silver sides every 2 days or so, so hes pretty skinny. I hope to fatten him up in the next week or so
