Thanks everyone! I'll wait a few months like you suggested and see if his
tail spades out or not. I'll let you guys know what happens.

Thanks,
Eric

Eric,

I'm pretty sure that photo #5 is of a young male A. agassizii. A. pulchra
males
usually exhibit a lace like series of light colored spot, especially in the
upper lobe, in the tail fin. They don't show the white submarginal band
around
the tail that is characteristic of A. agassizii. Give him a few months and
see
if the tail doesn't start becoming spade shaped. BTW the photo in the
Aqualog
book labeled as "A. cf. pulchra" (S03805-4) is more like a young A.
agassizii
than the Rio Madeira or Rio Branco forms of A. pulchra.
