| Research Information:Further research and collection data needs to be conducted in the field with laboratory examinations as well as aquaria(ecology) documentation of habits and activity. A specimen has been sent to Dr Fink to examine. Current view is that it is not a commonly found fish and may be a new species if actually proven to be from the Rio Sao Francisco. Initial looks at this fish have led people to believe that it is indeed a Serrasalmus and though initial thoughts were towards the S. maculatus, that is a very remote possibility and very unlikely to be true.
