Brachychalceus orbicularis is also known in the hobby under the name
"Silver Dollar Tetra", which might lead, however, to confusion with
tetras of the genus Metynnis, which are also called "Silver
Dollars". Ephippicharax orbicularis is a well known synonym for our
fish, which is quite popular in the hobby despite the fact that it displays
not much coloration. The reason for its popularity is probably the unusual
shape of the body which forms almost a disc when the fish are fully grown.
This and their schooling behaviour is a nice contrast to all the colorful
fish in a community tank.<br>
<br>
Silver Dollars are omnivorous and might feed on waterplants if they are not
fed regulary with plant material by the keeper. Breeding is not complicated.
They spawn free and take no care of their brood in any way. Males develope
minute hooks on the rays of the anal fin which can be observed by using a
magnification glass. When the fish are catched by using a very fine mesched
net these hooks attached to the net and this enables also to recognice the
males.<br>
<br>
The fish are completely undemanding regarding the water chemistry.
Temperature should be between 20 and <st1:metricconverter ProductID="28°C"
w:st="on">28°C</st1:metricconverter>. The higher temperatures are used for
breeding.<br>
<br>
The natural distribution of this species are the costal drainages of Suriname
and Guyana. We offer bred ones.<br>
<br>
Lexicon: Brachychalcinus: means "short Chalcinus". Chalcinus is
another genus of tetra. orbicularis: from Latin "orbiculatus"
meaning disc-shaped. Ephippicharax: means "saddled Charax", which
refers to a special feature of these tetras. The have a spine embedded in
muscles in front of the dorsal fin which is directed to the head.<br>

This tiny killifish is one of the dwarf fishes. We were able to import them
from the island of Sri Lanka. Although literature gives up to <st1:metricconverter
ProductID="4 cm" w:st="on">4 cm</st1:metricconverter> maximum length they
reach full maturity with <st1:metricconverter ProductID="2.5 cm" w:st="on">2.5
cm</st1:metricconverter> and hardly ever get longer than <st1:metricconverter
ProductID="3 cm" w:st="on">3 cm</st1:metricconverter>.<br>
<br>
It is a peaceful and beautiful species that fits ideally for so-called nano
aquaria. Males can be distinguished quite easily from females by their longer
and more pointed anal fin. Females have a shorter, rounded anal fin.</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>

Breeding is pretty easy in one-species tanks. The keeper has nothing to do
but feed the fish properly and keep the water clean. Water should be soft
(around 5° dH) and slighly acidic (pH around 6). The fish spawn almost any
day in fine plant material. The parents do not feed on their eggs and take no
care for them at all. The young hatch after 8-14 days. They swim immediately
under the water surface. Although the adult fish do not hunt acively after
the young ones the eat them by chance. So it is wise to seperate the young
from the old ones.<br>
<br>
Aplocheilus parvus are surface oriented fishes. They like small insects
(Drosophila etc.) very much, but also feed readily on any usual fishfood,
like flakes, frozen or live food. However, they never feed from the bottom of
the tank. Plants are not destroyed.<br>
<br>
For our customers: they fish have code 303751 on our stocklist. Please note
that we exclusively supply to the wholesale trade.<br>
<br>
Aplocheilus: means „with a simple lip“ and refers to the mouth
structure which is not protusiable. Parvus: Latin, means „small“.<br>

Aquarists usually think of the African killifishes of the genus
Aplocheilichthys when they hear the term „lampeye fish“. However,
there are also lampeyes among the livebearers! One of them is Giradinus
falcatus.<br>
<br>
The shining eyes of the fish have the same sense as in their African cousins:
they are used to keep the school together. Giradinus falcatus are real school
fish. In contrast to their colorful relatives (guppys, platies,
swordtails...) they hardly ever fight with each other.</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><img
width=720 height=480 id="_x0000_i1035"

hspace=2 vspace=2 border=2></span></font><b><font size=2><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold'><br>
<br>
If the fish are kept in relatively dark aquaria the shining eyes look really
amazing! G. falcatus is an absolutely peaceful animal. On the other hand it
is a bit delicate and so it never should be kept together with tough or
quarrelsome species. <br>
<br>
Females can give birth for up to 50 young. The adults do not hunt the young,
but nevertheless it is better to let them grow up to a size of approx. <st1:metricconverter
ProductID="1 cm" w:st="on">1 cm</st1:metricconverter> in a seperate tank.
Then they can become integrated in the school of the adults. It is a
fascinating look to see shining spots of different sizes swim around as if by
magic!<br>
<br>
Girardinus: in honour for the American zoologist C. F. Girard. Falcatus:
Latin for „sicklelike“ or „crooked“.<br>
