ok...according to Nick Gardner from UK (whom sadly had passed away) it is a rare royal blue rhombeus from Bolivia, see here
However, I also so an other one which looks similar on OPEFE and it is under a different geographical variant of pygo nattereri, Columbia to be exact. see here
pictures for comparison
I do however wish it is a rhombeus and one of the vendors will be able to get some

i thought about that because I've always been a fan of that columbian pygo, but the jaw and eyes don't look right for a pygo to me anyway. I could be wrong. In the second pic I mean.
honestly I would put money on it being an undescribed species.

wait, are you just going on the fact that you think that the fish in those two pics look similar or is that fish labeled as a natt somewhere?
i'm going for how similar those two fish look, in fact myself wants to know what that one really is.
as for the body shape doesn't look like typical pygo, I do agree, however I do have one or two caribes that have the very similar body and jaw shape.
now imagine that the red color on the caribe is black and the silver body is purple, how similar would these two look? if someone good with photoshop try it out.

hmmmm..... we may never know. If only we had a DNA sample, and a geneticist. Actually I know a geneticist. We need a sample and data to compare it against.
hey jack, do you have any of those super close ups of ares jaw musculature we could compare to the second pic? Can anybody count the number of rays on any fins? It's too dark for me.
love to have a shoal of these beasts.
