Diet/ water params are the same as the "common" silver dollar (Metynnis species), although in general diff species of SDs have different personalities/aggression levels ...... the Mylossoma species tend to grow larger than the common SD. Hard belly silver dollar is just a common name that bunches several species under Mylossoma. Could be, aureum, duriventre, pluriventre.

....and I suspect Mylossoma sp.?!
