How to care for silver dollars?

Amada Greising: Silver dollars like to eat plant matter, so try clipping some lettuce or nori sheets to the side of the aquarium (and green stuff in general like thin cucumber slices).They would appreciate a larger shoal, around six individuals. They're fun to watch in larger numbers too. I don't know your tank size but they grow to about 6", and are fast active swimmers. A 4-6 foot aquarium would be ideal.Since silver dollars feed at the same time as the tetras, getting them food might be harder than say when catfish can't. Try target feeding with a turkey baster, if they aren't too skittish. I get in trouble for pilfering the kitchen utensils a lot....Show more
