So its been approx. 2 months or so since I posted pics of my little guy and he has grown abit and his colors are just beautiful.
I am hoping someone might be able to tell me what kind of fish I have.

Here are a few pics I snapped of him today!

Vieja Bifasciatum or synspilum.

Very nice. I have an unknown vieja as well. Mine looked similar until recently when it just exploded with color. To think that I was going to sell him for $15 about a month ago. Hold on to that guy.

Yes, I believe you all may be correct. I am hoping that he or she will get along with everyone in my 90 gal. I did a search on synspillum and it says they can be semi-aggressive with their own kind and that they should be kept with similar behavior fish. It seems the bigger he gets the more dominant he gets in my tank. My 4 in Acara and him have had several "stand offs" but the synspillum gives in and swims off to another area of the tank.

Looks to me like a Melanurus due to the elongated body and eye color. Could be a hybrid or a variant of some kind. I have both and I would say this is closer to my melanurus than my synspilum.
