LYNDYLOO Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi mat692, My Silver Dollars used to love to be fed, Lettuce leaves, Zucchinni, Cucumber, Shelled Peas, Spinach Leaves, Silverbeet Leaves and anything that is plant like really, if you don't supply these sorts of things for them, they will strip you're plants bare, if you have any in the tank that they are in. Good Luck :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanksman Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hey Matt My silver dollars used to love JBL Novo Plecochips and used to happily swim around with them sticking out of their gobs nibbling them until they were gone - The biggest pig could easily eat 5 in one sitting. They were handy to have for variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigMcN Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 My silver dollars eat anything! They'll quite happily scoff down any meaty scraps or cichlid sticks that escape from the Oscars, they devour pleco chips, and when I thin plants out of my other tanks I just throw the clippings in with them and they're gone in minutes.
