Hi rival
Silver Dollars get to be a good 5-6 inches and shouldn't really be kept in anything less that a 50G IMO
they should also really be kept in larger groups

yep 5/6 inches groups of at least 5 i would say. and i think the minimum should be 75 for a group of 5 to 7

Yep good 6", mine are about 4" and growing fast - skittish if on their own, but my 3 seem happy and quite bold for Silver Dollars

mine are around 6-7" and yes, they should be kept in larger groups, not 1 or 2.

I bought 5 at about 5 inches for a tenner last week. absolute bargain and they look great with the four I already had but they do get quite big and chunky

i've read that red hook silver dollars can get to 12".
