Agreed, never seen the red ... and the pattern of the blue on the flanks isn't right for red bahia's either. I know there are more closely related species as well, but they show up even less often.

12" male brasiliensis.
Without doing fin and scale counts you cannot tell these two species apart. Odds are the fish are brasiliensis, as 99.9% of the fish on the market are brasiliensis.
