they are Payara. Awesome fish.
I've heard they need a very strong current, are hard to get off of live foods, and rarely reach the 1 foot mark in captivity.
They are also known as sabertooth tetra, sabertooth baracude, and vampire baracuda.

If they're payaras, the scientific name is Hydrolicus scomberoides. Now do your homework...
