I agree that its likely to be one of the Vieja species,
The nearest juvi pic i can find is that of a hartwegi

Vieja hartwegi

mmmmmm look at the pattern on the fins. Yours has no patterning.

Its doing my head in, I have a few species books, but they all show adult fish.

Isn't that just an old name for the JD (rocio octofasciatum)? If so I don't think its that.
