And the size of the tank - silver dollars really need and deserve 6' of swimming space.

Well that would also be relivant if he had asked if he could fit a school of silver dollars in his tank. But as he's only asking if they will be eaten................i guess thats all he wanted to know.

"Could I keep a school of Silver Dollars with my Oscar" is a fairly broad question, and the question of whether the tank is suited for both species enters into that. Plus, no need to nitpick, we're all just trying to help.

i'm not nit picking it's just no body gives anyone on here the benifit of the doubt. Why can't we just assume he has a large enough tank to house them.

could i keep a school of silver dollars with my oscar? - Heres the starting question.

they are deep enough and big enough not to be eaten right - Heres the specified info he is after. Weather they will be eaten.

I can't understand why him NOT having the right tank is more likely than him not.

Give him a break. i'm sure he's done his homework.


Bonngg!!!

cool. i'm not sure a 3 inch fish can digest another 3 inch fish by any stretch of the imagination. See how it goes and watch them closely

Which is going in first the silver dollars or the oscars??
