Where the sun don't shine
Just picked up a Lacerdae from one of the vendors here. Received shipment yesterday and here is a quick cell phone shot of him after about 10 min in the tank. I know not the greatest pic...

What does everyone think? Lacerdae?

...beautiful fish nonetheless

Hard to tell without a pic of the bottom side of the jaw, and collection point. Any chance you can tell us which vendor? I've been looking to replace mine for awhile....

I will grab some more pics once he settles in...didn't want to stress him out too much right off the bat. He actually ate some Hikari carnivore pellets and a piece of krill last night (about 5 hours out of the shipping bag) so that is a good sign.

Picked him up from G @ shark aquarium...he is about 6"

Although they are close I am pretty sure lacedae arn't native to Argentina. An under jaw shot wold definatly clarify it. There is something mala about it particulaly if it is juvenile.
