just found out, purple spilo is the name of the fish, and S. sanchezi is the scientific name of purple spilo
Aggression depends on the individual fish itself, any serrasalmus species should be kept soloPEVINE11;1084961; said:
actually its called a purple sanchezi not purple spilo. Sanchezi are from the rhombeus complex not the spilo complex.Fishes33;1085030; said:just found out, purple spilo is the name of the fish, and S. sanchezi is the scientific name of purple spilo

People call them purple spilos too though, that's what they have them listed as at Aquascape. Rhoms get bigger... a lot bigger
.its a common name that dealers use(mislead). A purple spilo is a purple sanchezi. Sanchezi are from the rhombeus complex and a spilo is from the spilopleura complex. 2 very different fishDavey_8313;1088367; said:People call them purple spilos too though, that's what they have them listed as at Aquascape.

Oh, I know, I was just letting him know that some places have them listed like that... I know they're very different fish
