Im sorry I should have been more clear, I know its common name is Bleeding Heart Silver Dollar, I need a latin name.

I think its metynnis mola

That is what I was thinking, but I can only find the same pic on google over and over as a representation. Id like to see some different sources with pics to verify that it is indeed M. mola cause fishbase isnt always the best.

I agree with Metynnis mola

I remember seing a picture of M. Mola in some obscure aquarium book a while back. It was not that pic from the internet and the fish looked identical to yours, only it was an adult. Unfortunately I can not remember what book it was. I think it was in a public library
