Brycon hilarii i think?

could be a Brycon Cephalus or Brycon hilarii....phasing out the rest due to colour of tail , markings , body shape...

there is one that is similar Brycon dentex but you can exclude it because dentex tend to have a more elongated body , yours shows a broader body with a slight arch on the back....I think growing them up and id again when its bigger will prove easier

my 2 cents

Thanks all for the help. Found these 2 a bit different from the group of SPs, the colour of the tail ( more red than the rest of the group ).

I would say Brycon Cephalus. I think Hilarii have a more "torpedo" shaped head.

Should be quite fast, mine started going after the pellets, not 1 or 2 but a mouthful at a go.

I notice they dont eat a lot but every interval of 15 mins when I throw down the same amount of food they will finish it up
