Does Anyone Know This Fish?

[chrisrutter]

Hi all

I saw a fish in the an aquarium a year or so back and i cant remember the name of it.
It was in a tropical setup with some angelfish.
It was an upright fish (like the angels) but its fins were much shorter, and much fleshier ( if thats a word?)
It was bright silver with no markings.
The ones i saw were about 4 inch tall.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know

thanks everyone

Silver Dollars ?

Nope, my dad keeps them so i know it wasn't those, they were much shorter (nose to tail) than silver dollars and they were smoother looking.

sounds like it could be Monodactylus sebae or Monodactylus argenteus

I would say monos as well.
