Carolus, look where the poster is from, what is common for Europe and N.A. is not the same as Brazil, for all we know his friend went out to some unknown little river and netted these himself.
What's your favorite Dressing~~

Might be a Vestitus.... The main difference is the white line between the back of the fish and the black stripe. Hardly any or no white lines is Vestitus.
