Comments
Silver Dollars are relatives
of the Piranha. But Silver Dollars are mainly
vegetarians that will adapt to eat almost anything.
Six or more Silver Dollars make a beautiful
school in a large aquarium.

|
Appropriate Home
Silver Dollars will
soon need an aquarium with at least 50 gallons
of water, an
exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel,
a maximum of 1/4 inch of
gravel, and an
aquarium heater adjusted to keep the water
between 78 and 82 degrees F. Click

Recommended Diet
Silver Dollars are vegetarians that will do
well on floating flake food, when they are small.
Later feed them a pellet food. Click
here for more about feeding fish.
Even though Silver Dollars are said to eat only
vegetation in their natural habitats, they seem
to enjoy eating a few Black Worms. Click
here for more about Black Worms.

Compatibility
Silver Dollars are schooling
fish and should be kept in a group with at least
six Silver Dollars.
Silver Dollars are good tank mates for
Angels that are about the same size as the
Silver Dollars.
Swordtails and
Mollies. Also
White Tip Shark Cats,
Plecostomus Catfish, and
Pictus Catfish are also good tank mates
for Silver Dollars.
Silver Dollars are often seen in aquariums with
Gouramis,
Giant Danios,
Rainbows, a group of
Bala Sharks, and a group of
Clown Loaches.
Large Silver Dollars are sometimes seen in large
aquariums with
Neotropical Cichlids such as Jack Dempseys,
Firemouths, and even Oscars. But of course the
Silver Dollars must be large and swim very fast
to stay away from the aggressive cichlids.

About our Fish Photographs ...
|
|
Almost all the photographs and videos, shown on this web site, were taken
by us in our aquariums of our fish. Compare the healthy,
beautiful, energetic fish in our beautiful aquariums to the
fish in our competitors pictures. Their fish often look thin
with clamped fins and poor color.
We buy the highest quality fish, produced by the best fish
farms or caught by the best collectors of wild fish, then we take incredibly good care of our fish in our beautiful aquariums. If you compare the pictures on this site to our competitors pictures, you can instantly see, our fish and aquariums are better!
