What's this one's scientific name

[Leon Wang]

I got a special pacu but don't know which specie it is, anyone can know it? It's about 20cm now and really like fish meat and shrimp and much aggressive than other pacus.

I'm curious as well, interesting fish maybe it's the rare "pink pacu"

Dolphin pacu I believe........ Mylesinus paucisquamatus. The lip and long fins throw me off though.

I believe this not a Mylesinus paucisquamatus , there are many differences.

I wonder if that is just some tumor growth or a deformity on its lip

 

[fuzzlebug]

It looks like a massive pimple on its lip! Is it meant to look like that?

It's from rubbing against the glass. Like a blister
