New Fish ID

[NigelK8485]

So I got a couple of new fish in, I'm just looking for a positive ID on this little guy. He's supposed to be acarichthys heckelii, threadfin acara. I haven't been able to find many pictures of these guys as juveniles and it wouldn't be the first time these people sent me the wrong fish.

Ignore the tank, it's just the quarantine tank.

Either an acara or some sort of geophagus

The heckelii is viewed as the sort of "missing link" between acara and geophagus.
