Well I got rid of my big ol Silver Dollars, (the pet shop confirmed.) because I woke up two days ago and one of my 2 remaining rummies was inexplicably dead. So just to be sure I took them back and got more community friendly fish, I got 2 cories for the one I already have, and for my lonely rummy nose I got 6 tiny neon tetras, because they didn't have any rummy nose. So my tank is happy once more, hopefully the neons will start schooling, and when that happens they will let the rummy school with them because they are so young. And my cories all are just loners really, doing their own thing.. but yeah. and on top of that I still have my Albino pleco who is about 5" long. I wish I could teach him to float upside down at the top of the tank and eat the food I poor into his mouth.. =\


*Edit: I will get a video up sometime later today.

Sorry to hear you're having problems. I would find it ODD that your Silver Dollars did harm to any of your fish. They are herbivorous.

I agree with aquarist...but a pacu will eat one glad you exchanged him tho...that tank was not good for him..

yeah, The guy at the store said they were silver dollars, but I would bet anything that the small one (who I actually saw picking on the rummies dead body in the morning) was a RB pacu. but anyways, I decided it was best to take them back, even though they are with two others the same size in a 10 gallon tank there. One of the ones at the store is missing part of his head, you can see inside it's really gross, it's amazing he isn't dead, like literally you can see inside his body because his skin is missing, it's really nasty. poor fishy..
