Dloks got X-ray vision I reckon, cuz I fail to see spots.

Perhaps like tiny tigs may not have the stripes yet but are dark colored, so are piraibas, tiny like this one. It looks piraiba to me. I am rather positive. Not capa anyway.

Yes, please spell the fish name right...

-- for your own sake - when you look for your thread later on,
-- for others sake, so when they do their homework they learn from your photos and experiences too,
-- and for my sanity sake and others with an OCD.

fishtankphil - you too bro You don't spell it right.

Well if u want to get down to it we can say it also called a filioche or something like that and piraiba once it passes 2 ft i believe..

Also tiny tigs dont have wiskers that long. Ive seen 100's from 3" and up many times and they are never that long. Only Piariba have them like that from me exp.

I, the MFK troll, in the sound state of mind and of my own free will choose to apologize for my insolent suggestion Everyone is free to call the fish whatever they want. It's a free country and a free forum. You favor -

Piariba

- by all means, my brother! Proceed as you were. I have no expectations. And the last thing I want is "to get down to it". You'd blow me out of the water I prefer to conceal and keep my ignorance safe with me

We could also let FishBase speak. I think it is safe to trust FishBase.

If there is no desire to look at the link I dutifully provided to back up my statement, I will copy and paste the table of 53 common names for the fish here. It includes the Brazilian-Portuguese name "Filhote" of vernacular nature, meaning it is used by the locals in one locality.

****************

On the second point, I too again apologize for my mumbled wordage, wherein it could be construed that I suggested that the OP fish could be a tig. In no shape or form did this thought ever crossed my mind. I tried to draw a parallel between young tigs and young piraibas, the related fish from the same genus, where both can be found (largely) devoid of pattern and appear almost solid colored.
