Nice one of my favorite silverdollars behind the redhooks, and black bars, the regs anf of course mylossoma.

Seem to get about 6 inches. Care is the same as any silver dollar

 

[peewee]

do those spots intensify or fade as they grow?

 

[wwcichlids]

You would have to google them ( Images) I am pretty sure they stay about the same

The spots stay. Males have darker and bigger spots as well as reddish fins and stay smaller. I don't think they'll reach 6". 4-5" is more likely for females.
