Hey guys I was thinking of picking up some black barred silver dollars. Are these schooling fishes? They seem to be. Do you guys think just 3 of them would work or would I have to get more? Thanks. They'll be in a 90 gal with 5 dats 2" long

yes and yes.

3 is fine, but 4 looks nicer as a group IMO.

they can jump when spooked (same as redhooks) so proper coverage is needed.

mine used to get spooked while I was doing water changes. so leave your lids on when doing so. just open the hatch and work from there.

Dang.. Lids being a must is a problem for me :(
