at the very least, 3 or 4. like tetras, these are schooling fish. actually, they are tetras

Hi platey ben
Dont forget they get rather large ( 6"-7" ) .
At this size they look less like a silver dollar and more like $100 note .

Silver dollars are just as sketchy as piranha, and just as boring. They don't do anything but sit there. We've had baby ones and 2 adult pairs here in our 120g.
The females are bigger and thicker. The males get a nice pinkish hue when they want to breed.
What tank do you want them in? I think they would do best in larger groups since they are so sketchy.

well i was gonna get 4 to go in my 65Gal but i decided on 12 serpae tetras instead

Good choice.

Allie

Yeah that's a much better choice...in a few months you would have been bored of the silver dollars.

Hi ive got 2 silver doallars and I think that they are not schooling fish. 2 or 3 is all you need!
