Default Can you Identify this fish?

Hey all! I just got a new fish from the LFS, and I have no idea what kind it is. I know its from south america. Here are some pics of it. Let me know what you think it is!








All I know about him is that he does not get along with anyone in my community tank, I was told he was a fin nipper. I was also told that he is extinct in the wild.
