Ive got 6 species of silverdollar and ive bred 4 of the 6 and ive found the spotteds to be the most difficult so far..... Ive had them for a few years now, i have 5 at roughly 4-5" and i believe two males and 3 females in a 6x2x2 and no sign of breeding.....

Ive found males to be more elongate, have more red and much darker spotting whilst females are a larger deeper bodied fish.... just a few pix to help sex them....

They are mine
As you should all know, im a massive fan of silver dollars. And these guys have taken me a long time to raise. Make beautiful fish. I have 2 male and 3 females in a 6x2x2 gorgeus fish!
Enjoy and comment!

No worries..... If you want to breed bump up the numbers though. Try for 5-6 minium
