I’ve read that Brycon tend to go after silver fish relentlessly but I guess I got lucky. That said the wide bars are pretty big and I have a chance to pick up a school of tiger silver dollars. I’d hate to swap out the wide bars and have the tigers get hit by the Brycon. The Brycon is about 9” and the wide bars maybe 7”. The tigers are about 4”. What do you think?
 
If theres more of an appeal I'd do it personally however truth is you don't know if it'll work until you try it. Fish can form dislikes towards certain specimens.
