The Tiger Silver Dollar (Metynnis fasciatus) is an attractive and unique freshwater fish, renowned for its distinct, striped appearance that resembles the fur of a tiger. This species is relatively peaceful and grows to an average size of around 15 centimeters (6 inches), making it a popular choice among aquarium enthusiasts. The Tiger Silver Dollar is an omnivore, and in the wild, it feeds on a mix of plant matter and small insects. It is known for its schooling behavior and is best kept in groups, which helps reduce stress and allows for a more natural social environment. This species is particularly noted for its hardiness and adaptability, making it suitable for a range of aquarium setups. However, they do require a spacious tank to accommodate their active swimming behavior and schooling nature.

Hailing from the river basins of South America, particularly the Amazon River and its tributaries, these fish thrive in warm, slow-moving waters abundant in vegetation.

Ideal water parameters, pH 6.0 to 7.4, temperature 74-82F
