There's no color in the adipose fin that contrasts with the caudal fin (they match), the fish appear to be swimming at a slight angle, there's no obvious white line on the back part of the caudal fin, there's a big black dot on the operculum (gill cover), and the fins are showing a reddish or yellowish tint, instead of brownish.
They're tatauaia
Well I know I'm new to Identifying payara but I'm going to buy a supposed true armatus this weekend and I want to make sure I dont get screwed, is there any way this Saturday I can take a pic and before I buy you guys give me a 100 percent go ahead? I've been screwed twice and I'm driving 5 hrs to get it I'd appreciate the help
Once again I'm being told this is an armatus, I cant tell, I'm just tired of driving to get the wrong fish, I hope this an armatus like the store says they claim to have both red tail and armatus the last one chixclub identified was the red tail I bought from same store, so hopefully this is an armatus I know your all tired of figuring it out for me but I keep looking at the guide and cant tell this is the last post I'll make sorry
Well this is a better pic of the payara they gave me his back adipose is turning dark orange and his tail is still clearish black
