Description: Red Hook Silver Dollars are a great dither fish for aggressive tanks with large fish, or a semi-aggressive community tank. These are closely related to regular silver dollars, however they develop a bright red bottom fin. Being a schooling fish, they add a good amount of movement to the aquarium. These Tetras are herbivorous, so they will eat any live plants in the tank and must be fed a veggie based diet.
