  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They're cool whatever they are. Some of those pics make them look tailless.
Off topic. Is that your gt in your avatar?
 
The body shape reminds me of pink pacu, but I don't think that's exactly right. I have no clue.

Those are very beautiful Silver dollars you have there my friend. You notice the huge change in one month? They will change a lot more as they grow into adulthood & we will have to wait and see how these turn out. What I can tell you is these are not from the genus Metynnis -- more likely Myleus (based on the adipose fin). What I love about these is that they have a VERY unique dorsal fin -- very roundish and they almost seem to connect with the adipose fin. Please do keep us posted!

I think they may be Utiaritichthys sennaebragai ( maybe ?) .. You are right we will have to wait and see. They are voracious eaters and are growing quick. I will send some progression shots as they get bigger.
 
Could be redhook. They'll loose color and stripe, develop silver shine when they grow
 
Do not think it is a red hook..I have had several red hooks in similar size and they had a different lok. These guys will certainly change their color pattern as tey get bigger. They are already more silver than they were when I first got them and have almost doubled in size within a couple of months.
