Can Anyone help me ID this fish? He they came in as regular silver dollars but they obviously are not. They almost a dark green hue to them.

Looks like it has slight tiger striping like metynnis fasciatus but I don't think that's what they are. Not sure, haven't seen silver dollars this dark before.

I can see where you would get the striping from with Metynnis fasciatus as well....tough call, I don't know what to think of this one, definitely not something that I've seen before...any more pics?
 
do you have better pix? the pix you posted are very blurry for ID
 
These guys will not hold still but here are a couple of pics I took today ( not much better) I think they may be Metynnis hypsauchen fasciatus but I am not sold.. but you can see an uderlying striped pattern..
