Impulse Purchase

I just poped into a lfs to checkout thier conditions and saw these guys.
Very unlike me to buy fish without knowing what they are but I couldn't resist

Labled as red hooks, but they certainly are not them so what are they?

they look like mylossoma aureum from the pics i've got of them.

they grow to 25cm/ 10inches and are gentle plant eating fish. need a tank of about 55g.

 

[The-Wolf]

nope not them, anyone else?

 

[jayjay]

i'll give it a second go tetragonopterus argenteus if it's not them i'd go with tetragonopterus chalceus

sorry for the first try i'm hoping it's one of those two!

 

[The-Wolf]
