While young fish seem rather unimpressive with a silver body and a light red tinge to their fins, settled adults are beautifully eye catching. They develop shimmering green and gold iridescent scales and long, deep red, fins tipped with trailing threads on the ends of the anal and dorsal fins. They are known from the Orinoco basin as well as streams and rivers running through Guyana and Suriname where they are only infrequently collected causing them to not be available often despite having a heavy demand. Thankfully, sailfin red hook silver dollars are gradually becoming more available thanks to captive-breeding efforts.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eSilver dollars have been in the hobby for a very long time mostly due in part to their large size and hardiness. They come from plant-choked tributaries throughout South America where they feed on fallen bark, fruit, and plant matter. Silver Dollars tend to eat plants in aquaria, so plastic plants or hardy plants like Java fern or Anubias should be used. Even still, some have such an appetite for plants they may eat even these species or plastic plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e  Being a shoaling species, these fish should be kept in groups of five or more to help them feel safe. Despite being primarily herbivores, silver dollars will eat other fish that can fit in their mouths and nip those with long fins. Otherwise, they are very peaceful and can become quite personable over time making them a great choice for a larger South American community tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial Tropicals","offers":[{"title":"1-2\" Unsexed","offer_id":53005169656115,"sku":null,"price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/6524\/2419\/files\/SailfinRedHookSilverDollarWebsite.jpg?v=1769706828","url":"https:\/\/imperialtropicals.com\/products\/sailfin-red-hook-silver-dollar-myleus-setiger","provider":"Imperial Tropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
