Happiest day of my life is when someone actually paid me to take my silver dollars off my hands! I had 7 red hooks in my 210g and the amount of maintenance to keep that tank clean was insane.

Exactly why I sold my WB silver dollars. I had four at 10 inches and it was like having four pacu in my tank.

Lol i couldnt find anyone to pay me and they were metynis fasciatus. I gave them to an lfs for a small credit



Then poop out those left overs

I actually dont see their poop, maybe they bala shark eats it or it goes in between my gravel, we'll see once i put the sand.

I rarely see the waste from my polys. There's gotta be some science to it. They must absorb the f__k out of the nutrients. Not even a cloud plumes. How about you guys?

Same here, when I made the switch to sand I feared it would be a mess, not the case. Granted I am running two FX5's and a 2217 on the 180 but I never see waste in the tank

Same here, sometimes i do when i feed anchovies but since adding the SD and bala i dont see waste no more.

Same here i think maybe their digestive system is more efficient maybe has to do with going long periods of time without food
