It's a mala. It's not a matter of how far apart they are, it's the shape and structure that help ID the species. The dentiaries move further apart when a fish breathes or opens it's mouth. The shape though doesn't change. Convergent means that they come together at some point. They don't necessarily have to touch, but they aren't running parallel to the jaw line, which lacerdae and aimara's do. Here's a pic I found on the web. Hopefully everyone will understand this after the pic is posted. And don't get me wrong, it i definately a cool wolf, but it does matter in IDing it. 1 lacerdae's are worth a lot more money, so if you decide to sell it you know what it's worth. And 2 if you paid a lacerdae price for a mala, you should get your money back.

So, as far as the pic goes, mala on the left (convergent) and lacerdae on the right (parallel).

It seems my camera is ALOT better then i thought it was it seems i just don't know jack on how to use it but i figure out how to take good close ups so you know what fishes teeth i had to get pics of







Also theres two large pits in front of its eyes that i've never noticed before any body know what they are do they look like sensory pits ? i hope its not the start of HITH

Hes also got a little eye cloud but that should clear up fast
