hello.. what kind of sivler dollar is this? (not the blackbars:)) it looks a little like a pacu in the pics i know but i am sure it isnt. what size will this fish get? also the blackbar dollars i have had many diff people tell me many diff sizes. how big will they get? they eat lots of veggie pellets and sometimes bloodwarms and shrimp.. is there more i should be doing? i have had regular silverdollars for years but im pretty sure these ones get alot bigger.. any info counts thanks

according to fishbase the black bars can get to 42 cm thats well over a foot long, I have heard the blue fin black bars get larger then the red fin type but dont know from experiance, my 3 blue fin black bars are about 9 inches with fins long and 7 inches with fins tall right now
 
honestly, it looks like a female red-belly pacu... thats just my 2 cents.
and about the feeding: frozen beefheart and krill always satisfies them.
