Looks like a thoricthys species, especially with the black spot on the body. The stripe below the eye is throwing me off. Stanzzzz7 Stanzzzz7 do you maybe know what it is? Seems similar to meeki or ellioti (also referred to as maculipinnis)

EDIT: Is a threadfin acara as posted below ;)

Threadfin Acara- Acarichthys heckelii. Beauties for sure.

What are your water parameters? Water looks a little green. Definitely looks like some kind of Heckelii
