I have my school of SDs with a gar for a month now, with an Arowana and Florida gar, no sign of aggression ever.

this morning I saw that my SDs have some red dots? I know their bellies were always red but not the dots. Is this normal, disease or getting picked by the gar while iam not looking?

This is completely normal coloring. Most of mine have wide spread diffuse red coloration.

Ok awesome thank you, yeah the pictures are poor because they swim so fast but they have red freckles all over
Completely normal. I like it, so I feed my silver dollars a flowerhorn food and lots of keratin containing foods to enhance it
