The store had them labelled as MUDA Piranha because that is what the importation papers said. $34.99 Canadian.
I think it was a great price for what I'm 98% sure is an Eigenmanni.

Or any other opinions?
This is the best shot I could get of him so far. He's a little shy. :)

do you have better picture of the fish? a good side shot would help.
 
This is the best shot I could get so far.
Once I'm home I'll try to get a good shot from the side.

Tail has a black band at the base and there's a faint humeral spot.
Other than that, the orange/red that you can see and very little spotting.
For such a small fish, I was surprised they had such a high back though.

I think he's my new favourite!
 
might be eigenmanni, humeral spot is usually pretty defined though. Try and get a better pic and it will help
 
I finally got a chance to snap a profile of this guy today.

He's pretty quiet and is spending most of his time underneath some rocks, but I'm sure he'll be alright in a few days.

they look a little undernurished to me
 
Well thanks for that feedback.
It didn't really give any insight into the species though, but I appreciate your concern.
