The Spotted Silver Dollar is a captivating freshwater fish that adds a unique touch to any aquarium with its distinctive appearance. These fish have a round, silver body with a series of dark spots, which gives them their name. They are highly social and prefer to be kept in groups, as this helps them feel more secure and reduces their skittish behavior. Spotted Silver Dollars are known for their active swimming and can be quite entertaining to observe. They are generally peaceful. They are known to eat plants, so if you are planning on adding plants, it's best to provide them with a well-planted tank that includes hardy, fast-growing species. These fish thrive in a well-maintained environment with clean water and a varied diet rich in plant matter. Their shoaling nature makes them a great choice for aquarists looking to add a larger schooling fish.
