I gave an 80 gallon looking for stocking ideas i have 6 silver dollars i was going to go with a severum but ove the last 2 months i have notice there isnt as much move ment in the tank as i would like so i thought about making my sd the larges fish in there with other colour full fish something in th 3 to 4 in range that is an active fish any help would be great thanks
 
What are tank dimensions? The silver dollars can get pretty big,and think they will be too crowded as they grow....how about rainbowfish? you do have many choices for school fish.lemon tetras,tiger barbs,rosy barbs.....you could try 1 severum and maybe 1 chocolate cichlid? With a smaller school fish...that would be an active tank

I second virgil's suggestion.

If you want to keep severum, you don't need to have silver dollars as dithers. I would swap them out for much more colorful and smaller fish like rainbow fish, roseline barbs, odessa barbs, etc, stuff that will get too large for a severum to consider food but are far more colorful and just as active as silver dollars.
