The "silver dollar" fish (Metynnis schreitmueller) is a peaceful, round-bodied, and silver-colored freshwater fish native to South America that can grow up to 6 inches long. Key characteristics include its laterally compressed body, which resembles a silver dollar coin, and its social, schooling behavior, making it suitable for larger community tanks. While a generally placid species, certain varieties may have spots, stripes, or red-tinged fins.
