Blackberry Silver Dollar

Natural Range: Rio Nanay and Rio Orinoco River Basins Source: Aquarium Bred and Raised Estimated size at shipping: 2-3" Adult Size: around 14-15" Sold as: Unsexed 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. Diet: Herbivore
