there's a few different kind in my tank. Generally, common ones grow to about 5-6 inches. The myleus species can reach 8-9 and some like the striped ones can reach 14 inches in the wild but probably not more than 10 inches in an aquarium.
Superb dilver dollars, even if you are being a little immodest lol!!
I do not consider it boring at all as it is such a magnificent display.
To balance, I must make a negative comment in case your big head explodes (!).
I just thought that the lovely angels and other fish looked out of place and pushed to the back - but that's all I can fire at ya buddy! (Lame, eh! - well done!).
I agree with your title of the video. this is the most beautiful school of silver dollars I have ever seen, i have only 2 and they're not even close to this size yet.. im jealous! lol :]
Very beautiful, these are one of my favorite fish! I had a big black angel too. Visit my channel at your leasure and see some of my fish videos. Thanks.
i have a 46 gallon bowfront tank that i have had for about 10 months my fish include 3 3spot gouramis. 5 angels, 4 black skirt tetras.. 1 silver dollar, 4 cory cats and a bushy nosed pleco.. i had purchased 4 solver dollars smaller than dime sized shorlty after i cycled my tank and 3 starved themself to death this one seems content to school with the blackskirts he was dimes sized when i got him but is pushin 4.5 inches now...should i get him "friends" would this over crown my tank
maybe u don't feed then well or full..when they are hurgy..they may pick on ur plant or other fish...i got my from the pet store that are kinda shreded fins and one is kinda shreded bad on it tail...but hope it grow...
Hi, lovely Silver Dollars! what size is your tank? will they outgrow it soon? I see you have several species of SDs and they school together. I got a Red Hook (M. Rubripinnis) as a gift from a friend, he´s around 5". Couldn´t find other red hooks to keep him company so I got 4 regular (i think argenteus) around 1". The red hook doesn´t school with them, you think he will when they grow up? My setup is a 60 gal tank with the SDs and a group of 14 red eye tetras
i love your SD's ! i just got 6 of em in my 75 gallon. they are all between 1-2 inches right now. how long does it take for them to get 5-6 inches? if you have a minute check out my most recent vid and tell me what you think
Please. I have had my silver dollar for 1 month and 13 days (with a freash water small almost nude color angel fish and a green glo fish*it looks yellow*) How long does it take for a silver dollar to grow big? Mine is like 1 in.
thanks. Did you know 50% of silver dollars are mistaken. They are aCTUALL A VERY SIMILAR BREED. The Shreitmuller's Mytennis. Mine is. Well its like the same as silver dollar... andy way mine is now almost 2 months and its 2 in by 2 in and I got it at 1 by 1
My goldfish ultimately had to be transported into another tank. Goldfish can work in a tropical tank under specific circumstnaces, but it is not something that I would recommend.
great thanks can they be kept with cichlids with out my cichlids (7" and 8") killing them,and just in case my cichlids do try to mess with them will they fight back?
They can be kept with large cichlids provided your tank is spacious enough for them to swim away. Silvers typically will not fight back. It is not unheard of however. Their teeth are larger than a cichlid's. My eartheater likes to chase my silvers. One time one of my largest black-bars got tired of being chased and literally backed my eartheater up 6 inches until he was in the corner of the tank. You should have seen my eartheater pout after that! PRICELESS!!!
lol,i have never seen a silver dollars teeth,but im convinced.just to let you know my cichlids have BIG teeth,even for cichlids.i just want more fish in my aquarium because when i first got my red devils (4") they cleaned up a tank full of buttikoferis under a week and i want more fish because i only have 2.i also have a 2.5'' one thats a wild caught who will even try to attack me
If you have established adult Red Devils in an aquarium, they might just try to kill any new fish you try adding, that is, unless it's a very large aquarium (100 gallon or more)
I feed them a large variety of flakes, pellets and freeze dried foods. Make sure you have enough veggy matter in their diet. They typycally grow to around 6 inches although the black stripe variety can potentially double that. They are pretty cheap here when purchased small 2-3 dollars (the striped ones are more:20)
Yes those ones with stripes are the Schomburkii. The ones on the left are common silvers, either hypsauchen or argenteus. I honestly don't know which they are because so many websites have conflicting photo identification.
O.K., I get it. Youtube puts new comments right at the top without the original context (so annoying). I can see how things got turned around. Thanks for clearing that up. I take back all the nasty things I thought about you. (LOL)
What exactly is your problem? Are you now giving me death threats? What is exactly that I have done to piss you off? You leave a unprovoked rude and disgusting comment on my blog, calling me a "rude fuck" and so on. Would care to explain yourself? Why are you attacking me?
My comments were meant for subversion90 not you snotbog1. Sorry for the misunderstanding. As usual the reply feature didn't work as it should. Love the tank by the way!
Couldn't get my sentence structure rebuttal right? Ughh, I was mimicking your poor sentence structure. (compare them) LOL
I guess it would take maybe a half a brain to figure that out now, wouldn't it!?.
FYI: I never posted a single video on a fish forum before about a month ago, so your point's a mute one. In fact, my most viewed video has never been linked anywhere else by me.
I find you to be a foul and crude person so I'll leave your comments up for a while and then remove them.

Question about your Silver Dollars.
Are they easily scared? Are they shy/skittish?
I have a 9 silver dollars in an 80 gallon. And whenever I turn the lights on, they go crazy (and sometimes bang their heads on the glass)!
And when I do my weekly water change, they get frightened.
Does this happen to you?
