If you are looking for a show stopping Myleus species to add to your aquarium. Great! Go with the Wide bar .Myleus Schomburgkii...
BUT, get them from Colombia or Brazil.
The Colombian ones are the ones I like, they get the INTENSE Orange and red coloration. Where as the Brazilian will get an orange stomach like a red belly pacu.
The Peruvian ones can get orange, but not until they hit about 6-7''.
First Picture a Peru Juvenile Wide bar... (nothing wrong with them, I have 2 of them and 2 Colombian, but the color does not start until they reach 6-7'')
The rest are pictures of the ones collected from Colombia and Brazil.
The last picture is a stock picture from Jeff Rapps.
He has some of these Colombian beauties in right now! I would get some but I have 2 right now that are just starting to gain more intense red...
B bigguapote always has incredible silver dollars including the Myleus Micans, INCREDIBLE. I have to save up for that one.
Oh BY the way, the most important part, people say that the Colombian Wide Bars can also grow streamers and cool fins.

I know this is an old thread but in case anyone wants to see the streamers on the Colombian ones, see mine which is the dominant one in a group of 5.love these B39A1987-727E-4E67-8F3B-4933E7E2EC14.pngsilver dollars :)
