Silver Dollar questions

[AquaAlex1993]

Alex, I have t-shirts that are as old as you. lol For another you have probably never seen anyone that has kept spotted SD's that are more than a few yrs old. Fishbase specimen was approx. 7" TL, so clearly the potential for 5" or better is very realistic. You stated that they only get to 4", I disagree. There have been members here on MFK that in the past have stated theirs were 5-51/2".

I would say that is a valid point.

I have a group of spotted, I chose them for a smaller size. They are more like six inches total length

Thanks, in the big tank they are also quite mellow not skittish at all. I think tank size is the most important factor in their behavior

Nice. The silver dollars in post 3 are in fact not Metynnis lippincottianus but are a species that is nice looking, metynnis roosevelti, which are rare in my area sadly.

Those are my fish and wet spot listed them as lipps but I guess they could be wrong.

Oh cool. They are nice looking that's for sure.
