This guy swims vertically most of the time. not tilted, literally vertical.

100% scomb.

I think this guy is a scomb. Beautiful payara though! I have red tails and armatus and they will only go vertical for a split second when they are figuring out how to strike their food!

No doubt. Hydrolycus Scomberoides.

The shape's all wrong for a tat.Give it your best care and no telling how long it will live...So how much did you pay for it?
