With the yellow fins I would say erythrurus (toucan fish) rather than macrolepidotus (pink tail) slightly smaller and more uncommon. I would love to get a hold of some.

Yup. Characin, pink tailed chalceus I owned one several years ago. Grew to a solid 6", jumped out of the tank on me, they are quick, skiddish fish. At least mine was 😑
