Pre-opercular mark, lateral spot size and spotted tail suggests brachy or what I believe are incorrectly labelled as aripuana II (I also believe ari I are incorrectly labelled aswell :shock: :lol: ).

Head shape suggest brachy, which are more pointy compared to the high forehead of the pseudo ari II. From all the pics I have looked at the red horiziontal stripes look like brachy aswell, pseudi ari II seem to have lines which don't merge into each other as much.

I don't think size is a good indicator... fish can stunt. My altifrons female is only about 15cm.

You have only posted pics of one fish... any chance of pics of the rest of the group/male.
