Silver dollar food.

[freshyfishy]

I just purchased 3 3"-4" silver dollars for my 150gal and was wondering what should I be feeding them. I know they love plants but if I plant any they will be instantly up rooted by my 7" oscar. Do they eat bloodwarms? Or should I feed them strictly veggies?

from what i understand silver dollars are strictly herbivores. but don't quote me on that.

I got some stuff from my lfs a few weeks ago and its algae flakes. I would try that.

They will eat almost anything you throw into the tank that is edible. Pellets, flakes, shrimp, veggies, etc.

I second that, at least mine eat everything in sight.
