silver dollar showing agression
- Thread starter cudamaster13

They're actually schooling fish, if possible get some more.
I got 2 males and 4 females and the males are fighting eachother over the females.
The females never quarrel.
And when they have a dispute it's hard.
Scales flying around etc.
No permanent damage though.

i just added another silver dollar but my two other silverdollars still show aggression but they only attack silver dollars they keep away from my barracuda is there anything i could do besides removeing them?
This is typical silver dollar behavior, IMO. I have ten, and they are constantly nipping each others' fins, especially when they are mating. The fins grow back quickly in good water quality. I would keep at least six. Be sure that tankmates aren't so boisterous as to really freak them out, as these are prone to running into tank walls.
is it silver dollar mateing season maybe thats why my silver dollars a acting agressive but i still think it is teritorial behaver
From what I can see, there really is no set time when Silver Dollars mate. It probably has to do with water changes, water temperature, etc. So, they could do this all year long -- when they're behaving this way, do you notice any color changes? Dark spots or red spots? When my SDs feel amorous, they always color up very nicely.
