The Blackberry Silver Dollar, also known as the Blackberry or Blueberry Silver Dollar, is a selectively bred color variation of the Black Bar Silver Dollar (Myleus schomburgkii). It's characterized by a striking blueish-black blotch covering most of its body and deep red fins, making it a vibrant addition to any community aquarium. These fish are peaceful, active, and prefer to school with others of their kind.

Key characteristics:

Appearance: Distinctive blueish-black blotch, deep red fins.
Size: Typically grows to about 6 inches.
Temperament: Generally peaceful, but may intimidate smaller or slower-swimming fish.
Social Behavior: Prefers to school with others of its kind.
Diet: Omnivore, but primarily herbivorous, enjoying plant-based foods and the occasional treat of bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Tank Requirements: Requires a spacious tank (at least 90 gallons for a group) with plenty of swimming room.
Water Parameters: Prefers a pH of 6.5-7.2, temperature of 76-82°F, and low levels of ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate (ideally <30ppm).

Additional Details:

Blackberry Silver Dollars are active and fast-swimming, and they can be startled easily, so it's recommended to have a cover on the aquarium.
They are known to jump, so a secure lid is important.
While generally peaceful, they can be dominant at feeding time, so it's best to avoid keeping them with shy or slow-feeding tank mates.
They are not recommended for shrimp tanks unless kept with larger shrimp species that have plenty of hiding spaces.
They are a popular choice for aquarists due to their unique appearance and relatively peaceful nature.
