I am pretty sure that is the Leporinus affinis, gets to 10", primarily a vegetarian but will eat omnivore pellets but needs veggie supplements, it might be the slightly larger L. fasciatus which is less dependent on vegetables, both are sometimes fin nippers and should be kept either withot other leporinus or with several as pairs will fight.

what is the difference between affinis and fasciatus with respect to physical appearance?
