I have a group of large silver dollars (Metynnis of various types) and Myleus (Red Hooks and M. schomburgki). Anyone keeping these lovely fish may be interested to know that I have at last found plants they won't eat - the Onion plant, Crinum thaianum, and some of the other Crinums. They destroy every other plant I've tried, including ferns that are said to taste unpleasant. Another interesting point is that they love boiled rice and especially cooked noodles. Both of these are of vegetable origin, and they seem to thrive on them, with a mixture of other foods like redworms, lettuce, and crushed boiled peas. These are the most nervous fish I've ever kept, and are quite likely to stun themselves by dashing into the tank sides when I clean it out.

thats very interesting. maybe i could try an onion plant. my lighting is about .5 wpg though 
ah well, its worth a shot. maybe ill just get an SD and wait a few days to see what plants it eats. maybe ill get lucky... if not, oh well.
