Hi can anyone help me with this, got dropped in to my lfs with two standard silver dollars but I’m not sure that it’s the same, seems to have a much more elongated body. Thank you for any help.

That fish is not a Myleus.
It is a female Metynnis. The pictures are not good enough for a better id, but it looks like a female Metynnis lippincotianus, often called spotted silver dollar. Perhaps you can post additional pictures? As clear as possible.
All silver dollars like to live in groups.
