    Saw these at a fish shop last weekend
    Quite expensive £55 (R1,155 approx)

    But they are nice

    Must say I could never understand why people liked silver dollars, really unappealing to me.

    These are not to bad though.

    The "standard" form is a bit boring
    But some of the fancy species are a bit more attractive.

    These are nicer than the common ones but still dont do much for me

    @Reedfish, I see a flagtail in the picture, now that's stunning if you have a big enough tank
    Was curious as to what they go for there?

    You can get a small one for about £40 (at today's ex rate about R840 :hmmmm2:)

    I have been tempted to get one, but I worry that it may peck at my lung or rays, so doubt I will go for it
