Just wondering who has the biggest silver dollars out here? Post some pics and sizes too, I've read about certain species getting up to 16". My largest is about 8" right now, it's a blackbar silver dollar.
 
Wheres your Pic??? Mine are only about 6.5" but getting thick! Sorry about the lame pics! The smaller red hook is developing red spots and interesting coloration!

Here's a few pics of the blackbelt that's about 8". My guess is he is around 15 years old right now. I can track him back to 2000 and he was already big back then.

eight inches is damn big for a SD. I bet you will be hard pressed to see them much bigger than that.
 
Very nice guys. I think they only get to 8". I have never seen a 14" one.
 
I have a hundred in various tanks. The largest is 10".

"Silver Dollar" covers a wide range of Metynsis and Mylosoma. I have 20 of the Mylosoma duriventre...same family as the Pacu. One of the nicest "SD" in my opinion.

These are EXCELLENT dither/target fish.
