Guess what monster fish this is

[guppy]

Not a Chalceus but it is a characin.

Well, was that a stumper? Acouple more hours and if no one gets it I will change it to another fish. A clue for you though, it is African.

 

[wayne the pain]

Alestes grandisquamis

 

[guppy]

Nope, not an Alestes.

 

[wayne the pain]

Mouth reminds me of Disticodus

 

[guppy]

I found out that in the past it has been misclassified as a Alestes, a Myletes, and even once a Chalceus, none of those are correct or current. they are found over much of Africa

 

[guppy]

okay that one was the Nurse tetra (Brycinus nurse), here is the next one.

 

[Stone Like Fish]

Raiamas guttatus

 

[guppy]

Right genus, wrong species.
