[iloveyou]

silver dollars are cool.. i saw some at wal mart today for like $2... small ones but they still look cool.... i wish i could keep them with some of my fish but all my fish tanks are full

 

[silver]

That's too bad......

But it looks like you'd have to buy a bigger tank just to house them anyways so maybe it's not such a bad thing .

Oscars.... Cute !!


Thanks for the nomination! I can't believe I got 2 nominations this month. My first nominations EVER!!!

No, I don't have a picture of the whole tank yet. It's pretty o'natural so I'm sort of modest about it compared to other's tanks here. It has a really interesting background that I like alot. I got it at Petco, it's really natural looking and helps my Silver's feel more protected. Maybe I will try and take some pictures of the whole thing.............not sure how they will turn out though!

NICE PICS!!! FOT for the first pic......BTW how big of a tank do they need? and how big do they get???

 

[silver]

SConrad,
The very first pict. (the gold angel)? Or the first of the two Silver Dollars?

They get 6-8+ inches long and about 5+ inches high. They are best in a species tank or with very friendly fish (NO NIPPERS). No cichlids, besides VERY friendly ones or Angels that are nice. You have to at least have 2, no exceptions, or they will be SOOOO stressed out it will very likely kill them. To have 2 you should have NO LESS than a 45 gallon because they LOVE to swim and are very fast. For every extra Silver Dollar you buy (I would advise to get at LEAST 3) you should have another 5+ gallons or so. Example, 4 in a 55 gallon or 5 in a 60 gallon, 6 in an 65 gallon, etc. Or even bigger which would be more ideal. They love plants that are planted near the front of the tank. This cuts down on the movement that they see outside of the tank. They are not your "average" acting fish. They are VERY skidish, more than ANY other aquarium fish on the market in MHO. They are not for most aquarists that's for sure. They take time and care and are better in homes without small children.

PM me if you want to know even more.

Thanks!!

[silver]

Thanks!! Looks like you have a few too, huh?? Just get a bigger tank soon and you'll be set!

You should try and post some more pictures of them. I'd LOVE to see them

Will do

By the way, I've tried researching this but haven't found the answers I'm looking for. Is breeding silver dollars possible? And if so, what do you suggest (tank size, approach)
