Red Thin Bar Silver Dollars?

[UnstoppableJayD]

I saw a picture of these on instagram in Asia and had to have them. After Monster Aquarium doing some phenomenal work I now have a group of 9 juveniles. Thanks F fenderwai !

Has anyone kept them before?

I will try to update this thread as they develop.

How large do they get ?

How large do they get ?

I believe the size of normal thin bars so like 6-8 inches

Seriously, these things are RED. Once they settle down from the stress of transport, I'm sure Jay will be able to snap some good pics. If I wasn't so attached to the plants in my tank, I'd have fought with Jay to grab a couple.

These are apparently a thin bar variant, so max size will probably be sub 8". Great pickup, and as always, thanks to F fenderwai for providing us with those ultra rare fish we drool over from the internet 30min from home!

Mine have become pale over the last 3 months. They are growing quicker then my standard thin bars.
