I've not totally dismissed it. Me and the wife have been talking about getting a second aquarium anyway. Were looking at some 55 and 75 gallons and statring off fresh and someday turning it into saltwater. Sometimes when your at the pet store you pick the prettier fish. The silver dollars when I got them were about the size of a thumb nail. I looked them up on the net and it said they could grow to be 3-6in or so in aquarium, but it depended on tank size. Since my tank is 29 gallon I figured they wouldn't get to big. I've watched them grow from little bitty to what they are now and they are fun fish. Even though they may be too big for my aquarium I hate to get rid of them. Plus around Russellville, ar I would have a hard time giving the pair away. Most people have the smaller 10gal aquariums around here.
I am sorry if I offended some people here. I am taking their advice but I'm going to apply it for future fish. I'm going to try and make my aquairum home to what I have. I did count it up what I actually have in my tank.
I have no tiger barbs it is a orange barb (looks like a tiger except no stripes)
betta, neon, sucker, 2 bala sharks, 2 silver dollars, 2 dwarf puffers. I have some live plants the silver dollars seem to like them.
Again, I am sorry if I offended somepeople, I was just trying to make a pretty aquairum. I have to say everything except the 2 puffers and 2 sharks have been with me for almost 4 years!!!!! They have survived several moves, lived in an ice chest for a few days, lived with a red tail shark, 4 tigers, 7 neons, 2 catfish, and a snail infestation. The fish I have are very hardy fish.
Thanks for all the advice I really appreciate it.
