Contemplating blackberry silver dollars

[bbortko]

A lfs by me has blackberry silver dollars and I’m seriously considering picking up a pair tomorrow to compliment my 3 regular silver dollars and can’t find a lot of info on them. What little I’ve find makes it seem that they max at 5-7” and should behave similar to my regulars and school with the regulars. Anyone have differing experiences?

I have 2 pairs and have had them a couple years.. they are apparently a hybrid, i think they look good maxed out at like 6 inches and do school with other like fish.

Caved and bought a pair

Thanks, can’t wait to have them back in that tank. Shortly after taking the picture I noticed they were a lot smaller than they looked in the store and my crenicichlas venezuela was a lot bigger than I thought so I promptly moved them to a 40b until they grow a bit.

How much do these guys go for? I'd love to get 1 or 2 of them, the ones I've seen are 300 bucks plus

WOW! If I can find them for that price, I'll grab a few. I wonder if any of the vendors have any.
