Re:silver dollars!!!!! 7 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I suppose the key question is, how big were the silver dollars?

I've got three silver dollars and they are fantastic little fish. Research any fish you get, quite often, fish will quite happily eat other fish given the chance, especially Oscars. Even clown Loach have a carnivorous side and will definitely eat live fish if the opportunity comes their way.

Sorry to hear you lost your silver dollars, sounds like they got eaten, how big were they and how big is your oscar. The golden rule with fish (and this applies for most fish, even mollies will eat tiny baby fish) is if it can fit in a fishes mouth it will try to eat it! Get some bigger ones next time or put them in a smaller tank until they are big enough. Silver dollars grow reasonable quick if fed a good diet with plenty of food
