A Google image search for "dolphin pacu" does bring up several that look like yours ( https://www.google.com/search?q=she...210&q=dolphin+pacu&safe=off&tbm=isch&imgdii=_ ). Cool looking pattern on the juvies.

Thats the money shot!!! Thank you!!!

I just searched them and this what stones aquarium had to say about them,
Belonging of one of the three species in the Mylesinus genus, this Extremely rare Characin from 'Rio Tocantins' is so rare that not much information is known about it. Looking like a weird combination of a Myleus schomburgkii with a hooked beak filled withrazor sharp teeth and Tiger stripes,this one is definately a collectors' item

Pretty cool! I guess I shouldnt let them continue to be dithers for my festae...lol
 
^^^Not the larger first pics. We are talking about the ones in the last pic.

I know Discus Origins and Rapps both had the Dolphin Pacu not sure who else. Guess its like the Fasciatus, if it sells then the exporters start catching and selling them to importers.

Didn't know that. I thought they were different. Quite a change then. My first thought were Red Hooks also on the most recent pics then. Do you know what the adult Dolphins look like?
Never looked them up. Guess that gives me something else to do tonight. :)
 
Here is an Adult Dolphin Pacu, how does it compare to yours. Looks pretty close to me.
