broad band silver dollars

[Charney]

How many wide band silver dollars do you think could fit comfortably in a 125 (6ft by 18 inches)?

 

[Charney]

any thoughts?

I say about 4 or 5, but it depends what else you gonna have in the tank.

 

[Charney]

wow so you don't think too many could fit. The tank would mostly house them and polypterus.

it also depend on the size of your SD, they do get big but will take along time unless you get the big one.

lol, no, i just took in the account that you might have other fishes in there. If you're just gonna have SD and a few polys, personally I would have about 8-9 of them and a few polys. well just my opinion. It also depends on what type of filteration too.

 

[Charney]

How fast do they grow?

I wouldn't do more than six these guys also known as the disc tetra can get massive. I have seen them at the Detriot Zoo in an exhibit as large as 14 inch dinner plates.
