What say you peeps. This fish came from the Napa river in Peru. Right now were calling it Acanthicus cf Adonis.

Ohhh, that would be good news! I wouldn't mind some if they aren't going to get 2 feet and try to eat everything in their tank ;).

The closest match is , but this is an Orinoco sp. reported to come from Venezuela.

Most likely the Peru fish is a new L#.

Quick, we need an outrageous name for it. How about....
