Description

The Silver Dollar is a stunning and peaceful freshwater fish, known for its shiny, metallic silver body and distinctive disc-shaped form. Native to South America's rivers, it is a favorite among aquarists due to its calm temperament and striking, reflective appearance. Growing up to 6 inches, the Silver Dollar thrives in well-planted tanks of at least 30 gallons with ample swimming space. These schooling fish do best in groups of 5 or more, where they can interact naturally. As herbivores, they enjoy a diet of high-quality flakes, algae-based foods, and occasional vegetables like spinach or zucchini. Peaceful by nature, they coexist well with a wide range of community fish, making them an ideal choice for a harmonious aquarium. With their gentle nature and shimmering silver sheen, Silver Dollars bring both beauty and tranquility to any tank, making them a perfect addition for aquarists of all skill levels.
