Blackberry Silver Dollar – The Stunning Herbivore with a Splash of Color
Add a graceful and peaceful presence to your aquarium with the Blackberry Silver Dollar, a striking freshwater fish known for its round, silver body accented with beautiful blackberry-colored spots. This herbivorous species is not only visually appealing but beware these aren't suitable for planted tanks due to its preference for a plant-based diet.
Native to South American rivers and floodplains, Blackberry Silver Dollars thrive in spacious aquariums with plenty of swimming room and a well-planted environment. Their calm temperament and schooling nature make them excellent tank mates for other peaceful community fish.
