oops forgot specialist in the title.

I picked these 2 guys u as dither fish for my larger cuda's as there shoal has thinned out alot this year from jumping deaths.

Not sure what they are. They where labeled conterfiet silver dollars. 1 is about the body size of a baseball and 4"+ in total length and the other is around 3.5" in length,

They have larger scales then that of a silver dollar and are extremely active. They constantly chase each other and spin in circles.

They eat just about anything from night crawler peices to blood worms to feeder guppies. They won't touch a algae pellet or fruit peice as of yet.

thanks for the help

Brachychalcinus orbicularis maybe?

and we have a winner Brachychalcinus orbicularis aka the discus tetra.
On of mine seems to be a little bigger than the listed max sizes. But since they came in with a bunch of wild caught sa fish I am sure that is why.
