It looks like some sort of a Headstander?

 

[GarNiac]

thanks, yes it looks like a Headstander, but I'm still not 100% sure. I asked the person who works there, and he has no idea at all, OMG.
Does anybody else have a thought on this one?

My LFS has them. They label them as prochilodus. That's all I know.

It is a type of Prochilodus,I don't remember the correct name though.Here they don't cost as much as the flagtails do.

 

[Madding]

Ah, a Prochilodus, huh? I'm not used to seeing them without the huge fleshy lips, lol.

Neat fish - I wouldn't mind owning it if it gets as big as Flagtails.

its Distichodus affinis- aka Silver Distichodus

looks like a flag tail lacking colors.

Had one before, got pretty big, at least 5 inches, but I gave it away.

MN_rebel is right. I get distichodus and prochilodus mixed up in my head.
