How to breed silver dollar?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
all i know is that they have to be large to breed and from the only person i know that breeds them he has to inject hormones. and they dont produce many offspring. but maily size is a big issue. and space the person i know has them breeding in above ground pools. hes also making silver dollar pacu hybrids that i wish i could get :drool:
 
ok sir,thanks for that info:)

how about the info in the net is it reliable enough to supply us with the information needed in breeding this SD's and what is the hormones that your friend injects?.
 
my teacher used to be a ornamental breeder he said use a 3 foot tank, feed them a high protein diet even though they r mainly herbivores give them worm etc , and he said he kept only one pair in the tank, and kept them in low light with floating margarine lids on the top :/ sounds stupid but he is a aquaculture teacher. plus u dont want the silver dollars to be to big mine are about 7 inches long and past breeding maturity. good luck
