Rescued a Silver Dollar today

I have such a big heart so I squeezed in another Silver Dollar. This one is about 10"!!!! Magnificent!! I think of it as a rescue of one out of six of them out at my lfs. She was the second largest. I figure I have a 6' tank which I take good care of, so why not rescue at least one of them. Nobody wants them yet. Maybe too big for what others are looking for, or nobody has a large enough tank. I bet she's never had fresh greens before. She's gonna have her first greens with me! ;D

So, now I have 10 Silver Dollars!!

So, time to celebrate

 

Contratz on your new female silver dollar!

Just keep up on water changes!

 

This new SD won't eat, not sure what to do. Nothing I can do. I just saw her nibbling on a plastic plant. I feed algae wafers, shrimp pellets, NLS and fresh lettuces. Frozen bloodworms & brine shrimp for treat. I figure she will eat when Hungary enough but it's been over a month now.

 

Try soaking some food in garlic, perhaps?

 

Yeah, I finally seen her eat something today! Took forever.

 

That's great to hear AleyskaGirl!

Silver Dollars can be so shy and timid can't they? 10" is huge!

Best wishes and I hope you continue to see improvement.

I noticed my Silver Dollars eating the green skin from zucchinI that I feed to my Pleco. So I've also been feeding zucchinI skin, chopped, along with Romaine lettuce and they all love it. Even my Bloody Parrots are eating lettuce and zucchinI skin now. (teehee)
