What did I do today? I got a fish!

[rallysman]

It was sold as a black belt, but it looks different than the others i've seen. It was $30 and is 13" long. Good deal? Positive ID would be great.
He is a little beat up, but I should be able to take care of that

Nice guess, but wrong.

It's in the same genus.

Kind of looks like this...

Vieja guttulatum

Nice fish though for $30, he should heal up nice.

That does look similar. He seems to be more blue, with a teal top and some red in his tail.

I'll have to try to get some better pics
