Metynnis Tiger Silver Dollar Metynnis Hypsauchen Fasciatus 5cm

Overview: The Metynnis Tiger Silver Dollar, scientifically known as Metynnis Hypsauchen Fasciatus, is a striking and popular freshwater fish sought after for its stunning appearance and peaceful demeanor. Originating from South America, these fish are prized for their distinctive tiger-like stripes and impressive size.

Origin: Hailing from the river basins of South America, particularly the Amazon River and its tributaries, these fish thrive in warm, slow-moving waters abundant in vegetation.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, they readily accept a varied diet consisting of high-quality flakes, pellets, live, and frozen foods. Their diet can include small insects, plant matter, and occasional vegetables to maintain their health and vibrant coloration.

Tank Mates: Metynnis Tiger Silver Dollars are renowned for their peaceful nature, making them excellent companions for similarly sized peaceful species such as tetras, peaceful cichlids, catfish, and other community fish. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping tank mates to prevent stress.

Aggression: Generally peaceful, these silver dollars exhibit minimal aggression. However, they might display occasional chasing behaviors during feeding or mating, especially if the tank is overcrowded or lacks hiding spots.

Experience Level: Suited for aquarists of various experience levels, including beginners. Their hardy nature and adaptable temperament make them a great choice for those new to keeping larger freshwater fish.

Water Parameters: Optimal conditions include a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C), a pH level between 6.0-7.5, and moderate water hardness. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential for their well-being.
