Short nose Payara

[sashimimaster]

I saw this fish last weekend in Toronto. I've never heard of a short nosed Payara. It looked very interesting. I tried to get a better picture but it just sat in the corner and wouldn't move. This is as good as I could get.

Looks like some kind of cynodon.

After a quick google search, I am fairly certain that it is a c. gibbus.

According to the fish store they listed it as a Payara.

Nice Gibbus! - Payara has been used to describe all Cynodontidae esp. in the fishing sport.

Which store is that

Sorry man I didn't see your question.

The store was in Markham. I think it was in the Market Village mall.

it might be a payara that banged on the tank too hard. My guess?
