Other than the Juruense getting killed I have no aggression in my tank at all... I actually think the goonch keeps all the other fishes in line haha... He kinda bosses them around

Many fins in the photos are "not perfect", e.g., pleco caudal and corruscan's anal fin in post #99. There is some aggression for sure but I think you are saying that other than that jur getting killed, nothing else major has happened, right? IME, I had the same. It is impossible to have zero aggression in such a mix.

Beautiful tank. I love seeing it.

Yeah there isn't any major aggression just a couple of chases once in a while which is expected.

Thats the melanistic/pied tsn right Liam? Crazy how much hes changed. I suspect this guy i pictured to b p. Reticulatum for comparison. Had em since 17-18" and he def. resembles urs in question. Their is an underlying pattern of small spots similiar to corruscans and the large midline/belly spotting is another thing to keep an eye on. Belly pattern is almost similiar to a tsnxlei as ur kinda seeing now. If there not Reticulatum...my only other guess is hybrids... corruscansxfasciatum. I was unaware of farm made hybrids until kinda recently. If ur guy was sold as leu...id guess he was hand picked at a farm making me lean towards corruscansxfasciatum hybrid. The larger mine gets the more corruscan traits it displays so im leaning towards hybrid for my own guy also lately....fun to watch them change. We could use a hint or two from good old Necro these days lol... def. Not a fasciatum or corruscan tho...good eye! Also, my guy may not look that alike to urs now but he did at smaller sizes. Really threw out the stripe pattern later/recently in life from 30 to 36".

Hard part is urs is pied...the area where u see the smaller underlying spot pattern towards the top of the head is kinda faded on ur guy but it seems like its starting to come through. Reticulatum or corruscanxfasciatum hybrids...final answer lol. What collection point do u suspect? (Argentina?) Sadly i have no collection point/info for my guy. Found him in a 75gal at a pet store back in 09-10.
