Silver Dollars and Pictus Ctas
I have 3 pictus cats in the 45 gal. tank. I added 6 silver dollars about 2 wks. ago and now I am wondering if I made a mistake, after reading that silver dollars are really quite shy! Are the pictus too lively for these fish???
They (the pictus) are quite active!!

Re: Silver Dollars and Pictus Ctas
All seems to be going very well!! These fish are not as shy as I thought (as I read!). The little stinkers go after the sinking pellets I put in for the pictus cats, so I put some in one end, and while the silver dollars go after it, I drop pellets in the other end for the cats!! Of course, the dollars come after that, too!!! Ha! At least they seem to be doing good and are growing!!
Re: Silver Dollars and Pictus Ctas
A 45 sounds large enough for both species when they are young. I would make sure there is plenty of cover for the cats. Eventually the silver dollars can outgrow this tank.
38 tanks, 2 ponds over 4000 liters of water to keep clean and fresh.
Happy fish keeping!

Re: Silver Dollars and Pictus Ctas
I assume you are talking caves, etc.? I probably need to add something additional! There is a big tree stump, that is accessible, but I am not sure if they go in it! They are pretty lively! will the silver dollars bother them, as time goes on??
Re: Silver Dollars and Pictus Ctas
Arching wood or stacked rock to make some caves would be a nice addition.
I do not know if the Silver Dollars will bother them. My tanks are planted, and I have avoided SD because of their reputation for destroying plants.
Pictus sure are nice, though! Active, flashy fish.
