Really? Even when I worked in pet shops that moves large volumes of fish I never saw one. Do you know the latin name of the species?
I do not, just noticed the same SDs swimming around the tank, usually only one or two out of the large group are like this

Metynnis lippincottianus
I love these little SD's. I have a few myself. It looks like you missed one at the store. I see another one at the top of that group shot. Not as many spots but there are a few on it.
Hard to tell the one in the front appears more rounder but the one in back elongated but that could be the angle of the pic.
M. Lippincotti are more elongated, developing black edging on fins. If they are M. Maculatus they will be rounder, taller in body. Typical of Standard SDs. I to have a few Lippincotti mixed in with my M. Fasciatus and Sp. Blackberry.
