I'd say if it is an altuvei and you can house if properly go for it.

Altuvei are often mistaken for Compressus and vice versa. Definitely worth $20 I would say. Doesn't grow too big, so ideal for a smaller tank!

Depending on the size, $20 is a good price for any Serrasalmus Species. If it is very young <3" or so it can be very hard to ID. If you have decent sized tank I would pick it up and grow it out.

Now he said he got a lot of email and accept best offer from interested. It is a solitary fish and skitish. got to have one tank to himself. I pass out the deal. it also has heater burn.

If it is indeed an Altuvei hell yea its worth it. They are rare in nature, but available via dealers usually frequently.
