Zebra Parrot pacu

Very interesting and beautiful fish.
I have not heard of them before (and I do try to stay abreast of Metynnis species and new forms).
What do you know about them? .... and I have more questions that I would be grateful if you could address....
- Where did you obtain them from and where did they come from originally?
- Is it a hybrid involving Metynnis fasciatus and something else? - That is what it appears to me. They share a bunch of characters with M. fasciatus (body and fin shape, and to an extent color markings), but the head shape and color markings are quite different.
- From the pics. it appears you have 2 individuals of that Zebra parrot (both female) within a group that includes regular M. fasciatus, and at least one other species of Metynnis (M. maculatus? and perhaps another). Do you have a male Zebra parrot? Have you seen one?
- How long have you have them? .... are they currently available for sale anywhere?
Many thanks for sharing, and thanks in advance if you could elaborate on some of the questions above, or anything else about them.

Oh It's my first time in the community, so I'm not good at it. What can I do to make you read it?
Welcome to the forum!
Clearly you can read and write in English. I can’t read nor speak Chinese.
Can you help by communicating in English?
Cheers!

Oh, I translated it with a translator like a fool and put the wrong Korean on it.
I didn't recognize it because auto translation is on haha
1. They were collected from the xingu River in Brazil.
2. They are not hybrid species.
3. I have six zebra parrot paku in my tank, and it doesn't seem to have been sexually differentiated yet.
4. It's been about seven months since I brought them in.
5. About 3 to 4 cm in size were confused and imported under the name Setiger, and the growth rate is slower than other metynnis.
