Broad-stripe/band actually. It probably is A. piaroa (=Breitbinden), but the dorsal fin isn't developed enough to easily separate it from A. megaptera (=Breitbinden-Kurzlappen) just yet.

Thanks Mike, hopefully my lfs can get more in and I will post photos when he develops a bit more to see which one he really is.

So this guy has grown a lot since my original post, what do you think Mike?

That is a nice male A. piaroa (= A. sp. Breitbinden).

Hmm not sure why it posted that again, but thanks Mike, he did seem at least to me to have a bit more color than other fish I was looking at online. Now to find him some girlfriends....
