THE DESCRIPTION IS IT HAS A BLACK SPOT ON THE GILL AND HAS BLACK OUTLINE ON THE TAIL AND IS SOLID SILVER OTHER THAN THAT. JUST CURIOUS WHAT THEY WERE. DESCRIPTION OF THE FISH SAID IT WAS FROM PERU.

I haven't seen the pictures, but if it has a black spot on the operculum, it's likely Cynodon gibbus, a much smaller species than Hydrolycus scomberoides or H. armatus:

I just bought a six inch one and he is very skittish when I walk up to the tank I know they are very nervous fish but is he supposed to be that nervous?
