Giant Danios will be food. Long, thin and easy to swallow.

Ime Tinfoils will handle abuse quite a bit better than the Silver Dollars, and you should expect a bit, particularly at breeding time, even in a 200.

More is always better with dithers, and if you do good sized weekly changes keeping 8 or 10 with the Jags is doable if you have decent biofiltration. What filtration are you running?
