Chani Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi i have a silver dollar that is pacing around top of tank with his head upwards. I originally called it a discus but it’s a silver dollar. Any idea what kind of symptom this may be from?? thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chani Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Does anyone know if this could have anything to do with him being lonely since he has been together with his mate for over ten years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The average life expectancy of a silver dollar is around ten years it could be age related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It could be old age or something else going on what I would do is a water change and monitor with symptoms your fish is showing am not sure what could be going on you could try aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons that might help for one week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
