$80 instead of the more usual $200-$400 for a true piraiba
Steve's error = your gain...

You're right. 3.5-4". 1 in stock.

Fila prices are funny, sometimes $120-$180, other times well over $200 or even $300-$400.

David,

Capapretum looks like this,
-- shorter and blunter snout,
-- larger spots,
-- front and head heavy unbalanced (when small)
-- larger less balanced caudal peduncle and fin:
