Jaide Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I have a pair of silver dollars (only 2 in the tank) who go alongside each other and shimmy - a mating ritual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Have heard of people breeding silver dollars well having them spawn in mixed tanks.. They or other tank mates will eat most of the eggs though. Just FYI silver dollars aren't cichlids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I knew they're not killies, catfish or anabantoids. Amphibians was definitely out so took a stab at cichlids. I don't believe they're live bearers though :-? OK, so - what's the shimmy about? They're not boogeying down, I know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 They are characins Same family as the tetras (There should be a characin section :roll: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmsmith Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Have they been shimmying always or just lately? Do you know their sex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Why take a stab when you could Google or wiki..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Finally found the answers on google - one is male and one is female, and they're doing a mating dance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
