What are they:

They "almost" look like sliver dollars, but they have little different of a body. I know i've seen them at my local petsmart, but I can't remember the name of them at the moment.

Theyre not silver dollars, its a tetra, forgot the name, but I can promise that theyre not silver dollars. Id take them back if silver dollars are what you want.

White Skirt Widows

It looks like a White Skirt Tetra (Gymnocorymbus ternetzi). I believe it is a color variation of the Black Skirt Tetra / Black Widow Tetra. They sometimes inject dyes to add color to it.

It is some type of tetra, I am not sure what kind of tetra it is. I have seen it at my local pet stores as well. Try looking at different fish websites and maybe even try to google tetras and then see what you get.

Well good luck! let us know what you find out!

Ok thanks but are White skirt widows and white skirt tetras the same fish?

 

[sharkbaitwoohaha]

yep. they are a tetra. the black ones are sometimes known as black widow tetra so the white ones are just the same. just a colour variation.
