How many Silver Dollars in a 75 gallon tank?
Posted on June 30th, 2009 by admin
I’ve been cycling a 75 gallon tank now for a month and everything is at a good level for dollars. I check it every other day. Currently have five mollies in the tank to help with cycling, no deaths and everything is good.
Looking at getting some silver dollars this coming weekend and the question is how many. Thinking of doing 8-10 sound good?
Also, thinking about going with some freshwater shrimp in the future, feasible or no?
Pretty safe to figure 1in. of fish= 1Gal. of water. I a 75 gal tank Silver Dollars will probably reach 2 1/2-3in.. So, putting 8-10 silver dollars in the 75 will still give you some room for bottom feeders. 35yr exp.

I THINK YOU COULD GO WITH 11 SILVER DOLLARS REALLY… WE HAVE A BIG SALT WATER TANK IN OUR LIVING ROOM AND YOU WOULD BE AMAZED AT ALL THE FISH WE HAVE…
THEY GET USED TO EACH OTHER WHEN YOU PUT THEM ALL IN AT ONCE AND NOT ONE AT A TIME! TRY IT! && NO SHRIMP… LOL

I have silver dollars but i don’t like them… mine are shy for some reason and all they do is hide.
