Not sure exactly, but it looks similar to a flagtail.

looks like a cyprinid to me too.

Is a Prochilodus of some kind, a Characin. See that small fleshy fin between the dorsal fin and the caudal (tail) fin, thats called an adipose fin and Cyprinids dont have them.

Looks like that fish that people have like one of in their big tanks.

It looks like the Flagtail Prochildus, Semaprochildus Taeniatus. But the tail markings look odd.

My thoughts too, Semaprochilodus Taeniurus.

you were all on the right track! i fishbased it, they're not regular flagtails, they're Semaprochilodus insignis
