This should be obvious but I want to be 100%.

Agamyxis
The naked aerea under the first dorsal spine looks like a upwards pointing arrow, but in other fish I see pictures of it is more rounded.

This one is even more obvious:

Platydoras

Edit: Ok, there's a good description of Platydoras identification here http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script= ... 8000300021.

I added an explosion of what I consider 'special' with the Agamyxis.
