ID disc shaped characin?

[hybridtheoryd16]

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.

thanks for the help

Gymnocorymbus thayeri is the usual species sold as Counterfeit SDs...but those aren't them...
