Silver Dollars Fin Nippers ???

[Weylin]

I got a pair of silver dollars from my friend.. Not sure what type.. They have a lot of red on the anal fin as well as the tail.. Its really wierd that the tail colour changes to black...

As i was saying... They have been nipping the fins of my senegal.. Is this normal..

How may types of silver dollars are available..?

sounds like you have the redhook variety, they can be nippers, use google and search redhooks and see what comes up,iam not up on dollars as never kept them yet

My silver dollars got along fine with my oscars but they weren't the red hook variety. The red hook SD might be meaner.

I have a red hook and it nips the tail of my senegal bichir as well it will also sneek up behind my kissing gourami and nip their tail fin. I just keep mine really well fed and it seems to stop it nipping.
