Do silver dollars like a lot of flow?

[curly01]

I am upgrading my tank from a 29 gallon to a 120 gallon. I currently have 5 silver dollars that I am moving over to my new tank. I am wondering if they like a lot of flow in the tank? I have an FX5 filter and a Koralia 2 power head. Will this be suffecient flow for them?

I have a 900gph return pump on my 150, and a 1200gph powerhead in the tank for water circulation, and mine don't seem to have any problem at all. They are very strong, fast swimmers so I don't see flow being a real issue for them.

They do well in slow to fast moving waters.

yeah there shouldn't be any issue.. I have 6 in my 150 gallon and they are fine. Nice to watch in a bigger tank as they always swim together.

You are all set with what you've got. Try catching one with a net and you will see that they have no problem going fast.

:iagree:
I experienced this when trying to catch to put in another tank while switching my 150g to sand. They have no problem moving

I have 2 reg. silverdollars, 2 redhooks, and 1 spotted silverdollar in a tank with slow to medium to medium fast water and they seem to thrive

silver dollars tend to be pretty active and like to chase each other around, so that extra flow wont phase them at all.
