Silver Dollar And Black Tetra Fish Care - Tips To Create Ideal Acquarium Conditions
Silver dollar fish are popular, great looking tropical, freshwater fish and have been a hit with aquarium owners for years. These fish come from South America and only grow to five or six inches. As you can imagine, they get their name from their look. Silver Dollars are flat, silver fish with extremely round bodies. They resemble a silver tea cup saucer, or a silver dollar.
There are different types of silver dollar fish. One that many fish aquarists enjoy is the spotted silver dollar (metynnis lippincottianus).
Spotted silver dollar should be kept in a school of three or more. While generally peaceful fish, the spotted silver dollar will be uncomfortable and could get scared if not in a school. They tend to be a little hyper. If you come up to the tank too quickly or make any sudden movements near the water, the fish will dart wildly around the tank. For their sake, have safe aquarium decorations. But, don't put live plants in the tank unless you don't want it. These fish are herbivores and will demolish any live plants.
Feed these fish a steady diet of green vegetables, flakes and occasionally live food. A healthy diet will go a long way in their car.
Aquarium conditions: Even though these are smaller fish, they prefer a very large tank. Give them room to swim. The water should be around 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Only venture two degrees in either direction from this. They enjoy soft, acidic water. The pH level needs to be around 6.0 to 7.5.
There are silver dollar fish (metynnis hypsauchen) without the spots. These silvery fish are skittish as well. Don't make any sudden movements near the tank or they will freak out. They require many of the same environment conditions as the spotted silver dollar and make a good communal fish.
Silver dollar aquariums can be a lot of fun with these tiny fish darting around. Give them many hiding places with a larger tank and fake, plastic plants. The real kind will get eaten up.
Aquarium conditions: Keep the water temperature between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. These tropical freshwater fish like it warm. The pH should stay between 5.5 and 7.0.
If silver dollar fish are not what you're after, you may want to look around the pet shop for other types of fish. There are so many different fish to choose from that if you don't like one kind there will probably be six other species you will fall in love with. Go through the aisles of the pet shop or search the Internet to see if there are any fish that catch your interest. One fish you might want to consider is the Black Widow Tetra (gymnocorymbus ternetzi). The fish have black dorsal and anal fins with black stripes across its body.
It's one of the most popular tropical freshwater fish for its friendly personality and unique look. It's a great community fish, so it will add flavor to any aquarium. There are different varieties of this fish, which makes them interesting. You will find this fish is some different colors such as the petticoat (light pink). Black tetras enjoy most foods. Give them a variety of foods to ensure a healthy diet. Try flakes, live food, worms and frozen foods.
Aquarium conditions: These fish are easy to care for, which makes them a big hit for tropical freshwater aquarium lovers. They like hard, acidic water. The pH level should be between 5.5 and 8.5, which is a very large value. The temperature of the tank should be between 75 and 79 degrees. These conditions allow the fish to enjoy a variety of conditions with many other fish.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Do you think coins are worth keeping or should I sell them on ebay?
I have various old u.s. coins, some walking liberty coins, morgan dollars, pennies, quarters, peace dollars, buffalo nickles, franklin half dollars etc. My question is do you think their value will increase greatly after 25 years? is it worth more to a collector or to actually melt the coins for the silver? because some of the coins are 90% silver. Or is it worth just holding on to them and increasing their value?
Yes i could save them for my children but if I could get good money for them that would be cool.
Answer:
Go to the library and borrow the most recent copy of R.S. Yeoman's Guidebook of US Coins, also known as the Red Book. Or buy the 2011 edition in paperback for $15 or less. This book is essential if you're going to be a collector, and necessary to determine if what you have is worth anything.
First, forget about grading the condition of a coin, which is very important. Assume for now that all coins grade the same. This will make looking them up a lot easier.
Then, separate the coins by type, then make a list of each by date and mint mark. If you don't know where to find mint marks, the Red Book will tell you exactly where to find them for each type.
Once you are organized, you can start looking them up. Use the lowest grade column, which is usually G-4 or Good, but sometimes, especially on older coins, the first column may be AG (Almost Good). There are lower grades, but they're not considered collectible. You may have some of these, but you can leave the judging until later.
The smallest value you will see in that G-4 column is the value for a 'common' coin in the series. Any coins valued higher than that 'base' price are better coins, and you will notice that those values increase dramatically in the higher grades. These are the semi-key, key and rare coins in a particular series.
For the silver dollars, you will note that the base price of a common is going to be a lot less than what a common is worth just in silver as of now (close to $35 each). This will be true for all of the silver coins, the price you see for a common will be well below what one is worth today. That is because the price of silver has exploded in the six or eight months since the newest Red Book went to publication. So this book will not be helpful in valuing most of the silver coins, which are likely to be commons. Set those commons aside, because those will be coins you may want to cash in for the silver. Read more about this below.
Any coin that the book tells you is a semi-key, key or rare is one that needs to be graded, as that is the chief factor in determining value. Low-grade semi-key silver coins are just 'junk' 90% silver at current silver prices. For example, a silver common dime that used to be worth $1 in G-4 is now worth over $3 in silver. The semi-key dime that used to be worth $2.50 in G-4 has seen that value outstripped by silver alone. The higher the grade, though, the values may reach the 'keep' level.
If you are not certain about how to grade, take the better coins to a couple of dealers and ask their opinion. Better yet, before you do that, try to grade them yourself. I advise buying some inexpensive cardboard 2 x 2 coin holders with Mylar windows to hold these coins. Write you estimated grade in pencil on the holder. take them to a coin shop or two, look in the display cases for coins matching yours, compare your grades to the dealer's, and compare the book value to the dealer's asking price, grade for grade.
The pennies and Buffalo nickels don't have the bling factor of silver. But they can still be valuable far beyond the value of the metal. A penny dated before 1982 has almost 3 cents of copper, and all nickels have close to 7 cents of copper and nickel. These coins can't be melted for scarp (as of 2006, when it was made illegal, because folks were starting to do exactly that). Whoever said that silver coins can't be melted doesn't know what they're talking about, it's done every day - which may turn out to be great for collectors. More later about this.
Even Buffalo nickels with no dates or partial dates are worth at least 25 cents, and common wheat cents are being snapped up in bulk quantities for 4 to 6 cents each, well more than the copper value. Better date Lincolns and any Buffaloes with a full, readable dates are worth keeping.
