Blackberry Silver Dollar Myleus Schomburkii 5cm Overview: The Blackberry Silver Dollar Myleus Schomburkii is a striking and captivating addition to any freshwater aquarium. Known for its distinct silver body adorned with deep, mesmerizing blackberry-like spots, this species adds elegance and allure to your aquatic landscape. Origin: Native to South America, particularly found in the Amazon River basin, these fish thrive in warm, soft waters with ample vegetation. Feeding: They are omnivorous and enjoy a varied diet. Offer a mix of quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp to maintain their health and vibrancy. Tank Mates: Compatible with peaceful, similarly-sized species like tetras, peaceful cichlids, and other community fish. Avoid aggressive or nippy tank mates to prevent stress. Aggression: Typically peaceful, but as they mature, territorial behavior might manifest. Provide ample space and hiding spots to mitigate aggression. Experience Level: Best suited for intermediate aquarists due to their specific water requirements and potential territorial behavior as they grow. Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C)
  • pH: 6.0-7.5
  • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard water
