Is it this fish. Redfin Prochilodus
(Semaprochilodus taeniurus)

The Redfin Prochilodus, also known as the Silver Prochilodus, originates in the Amazon basin in South America. This species is bright silver in color with very large eyes. The caudal fin is striped in black and yellow alternating bands, and the pectoral fins are red. These are great fish for an oddball aquarium that will add a variety of color, and will aid in algae control.

My wife really wants one of these too, we keep checking the big fish stores in San Bernardino, Riverside, Temecula and Ontario. So far everybody is saying "out of season, try in the summer" but if we find any, I'll let you know.
