Better pic may help, but bottom left of first pic looked like Tat, and bottom left third pic looked like Armatus

I think it's some sort of Charax species. I think George had some for sale a while back.

look at the facial features though. way different then a mormal TAT or Armatus.

I think because of the angle the picture was taken, so the facial feature and the tail looked odd

It's not the armatus that he is asking about. Yes, there is an armatus in the tank, but the other payara-like fish in the tank is not a payara. Payaras don't have a black spot on their tail. Just like most FW barracudas, this fish does.

George at shark aquarium did have these for sale. I dont really remember there name though. You could send him those pics and ask him. It is not a tat and the pic is not distorted in any way. They really look all bent that way.

I want to know whey the hell that vittatus has a yellow head!!!

The fish in question is probably a Roeboides Bouchellei, I saw the fish that George had and they looked like the ones in these pictures.I was close to purchaseing one of them but they all had bruised snouts.
