Who am I? I’m in love with a payara ....

I keep seeing this guy at work and keep taking care of it. I decided to study it a bit to see what kind of care it would need...

I wanted to say cyno but tail might be a bit too big.?..

 

[headbanger_jib]

Well you're right about the id, it is a cyno.

 

[Matteus]

That’s cool. So are they still very uncommon in the hobby? It seems like the info in the sticky seems to be fairly old. I’m just wondering if $100 CAD is a good price for them? I kind of like the idea that it won’t get over 1’. Might be a good fit for my tank???

 

[Dloks]

I think it would be a great investment I’ve never kept this specie but if it stays under 1’ you scored

I don't know. That doesn't look like a cynopotomus to me. Looks more like a hydro.

It doesnt have that humpback look like a cyno. Looks like a hydro scom to me but I'm no expert on them.

That's because it is not a cynopotomus.It is a Cynodon gibbus.

It is.

It is.

I've been out of payara for a few years and I thought it was a scomb at first.
