Macropthalmus was removed as far as I know, maybe the pros here can verify this.TheDorikiN;5140339; said:are you sure that aimara = macrophthalmus?
because the list i got from the germany exporter, there is hoplias aimara listed too
so i think its a different species
and i think they pretty sure are pros, they dont wrong labelled their fishes as common south american exporters did
in fishbase.org they are 2 separated species too
what make you so sure that mine are curupira?
Yours is definitely a Curupira. The "Macropthalmus" that I've seen before all resembled either Aimara or Lacerdae.
Your fish has that Curupira coloration, round snout, and body shape.
Here's some links,
