Got it as vittatus. Wondering if it might be different.

I had to edit your post, sorry bout that. I hate photobucket pictures, they always pop out to a new window and their interface makes me have a redneck moment. I uploaded it directly to the post.

Anyway, it looks like a brevis to me. 99% sure. Brevis is the Nile equivalent to a gatf. Nice pickup!

There is a 1% chance that it might be something else, I'd like to see some more pics to be sure. There has been a recent rash of brevis being sold as vittatus.

Wow that would be cool if it's a brevis. I will take more pics when I get it home tonight. What's the other 1%? And thanks Addison! You're welcome anytime to come over.

That depends on your next picture lol. I say 99% just because the picture's not clear enough for me to be sure. I doubt its anything else.

It does look like a brevis in that pic, I don't see any striping. That would be an awesome pickup!

Alright cool. I won't be home till midnight or so lol but ill try to get more pics. If not then tomorrow for sure. And yeah even in person its stripes are very faint. I hope its a brevis. They seem to be the rarest.

For reference, here's a young brevis about the same size....

I like how they're so similar to a goliath. So what makes you think mine might be a brevis?

Clear-ish adipose fin, lack of striping, not as pointy of a snout as a VATF.

Chicx is a million times better than I am for these IDs, but that's what I'm going off of.
