I love them, but it's time for them to move on. Or, time for me to buy a
second large aquarium. Because, as many of you suspected, there is nothing
green they will not eat, and I decided I want plants again. I have let them
taste-test a load of common plants, and even the tough ones like anubias get
nibbled down to stumps in short order. I haven't tried crinum yet, but even
if they won't eat it, I don't want a tank with just one kind of plant.
There are 3 adult plain silver dollars and two smaller spotted silver
dollars in the school. All are healthy, and they are not skittish at all.
They keep to a school instead of many other schooling fish that get
comfortable with their home and stop hanging out together.
I believe the genders are mixed as some have more red in the anal fin than
others. They've never tried to make little silver dollars though.
I will happily give them away to anyone in the club who will give them a
good home.
If you have trade bait I would be interested in community tank fish or easy
plants but it's not a requirement. I just want them to have a happy home...
somewhere else. :)
Thanks,
Matt in Kirkland
