I remember seeing a school of fish that look just like Palometa except that the dorsal and anal fins were completely black. The DeLoach book show them as having silver fins with a very small black border.

Do they also come with the black coloration or might this be something else?

Brian, that's it. Is it a Palometta? The DeLoach shows them with silver fins.

These are all palometa:

from www.fishbase.org

the juveniles have dark trailing filaments, which shorten & turn silver as they mature.

btw, brian, that is a great pic!
