Hey I was wondering if anyone could give an ID to this Rhom since he is bigger. I think he is a Diamond variant but I am not 100%, he is about 5"s now.

Serrasalmus compressus complex form, its basically an undescribed species. It will get the sparkles like a sanchezi but with a blue hue and will get bigger than a sanch but smaller than a rhom.

Did you purchase it at Dragon?

See pics 1a and 1b

ya, I did get him at Dragon Aquarium. Looks like he will be pretty cool.
 
If it is actually a Blue Diamond:

That would be pretty sick, considering I paid $80 for him; Aqua Scape sell 8"ers for $400.
 
As arrow said: probably no rhom, but imho compressus/marginatus species
 
it'll be awhile before you can tell what colors will come on but you're right that would be pretty sweet. everybody wants one of those, hence the high price.
