There are several species called "silver dollars" commonly seen in the hobby, that's why common names are essentially worthless...

Anybody know how long they stay this red?

The are bery easy to breed mine breed daily, you get a nice sized group in a nice tank, add plastic plants and wood and let them mature and settle. Feed them well and they'll breed constantly.

yeah but it's not that easy to raise the baby's. there are egg scatterers and have no problem eating their own you must remove the eggs and put them in a seperate tank. myth blue must be added as the fry will fungus very quickly without it. after that than it becomes easy with feedings of baby brine shrimp.
