Overview:

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful of the Silver Dollars. These are large, hardy fish that are quick enough, and bold enough, to hold their own even though they have a naturally peaceful disposition. A group of these is a wonderful addition to a large community aquarium with appropriately sized fish and they make great dithers for shy fish.

Setup Considerations:

These fish rather skittish and shy for the first few weeks after arrival and will seek an overhanging shelter or other shaded area until they settle in. Having branches or some other decorations which extend to the upper 1/3rd of the water column and have plenty of space below for the fish to hang under the shelter will help them feel more comfortable as they are getting used to their new home.

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
