Luna Silver Dollar

Metynnis luna hails from the Rio Madeira drainage of Brazil and displays a clean, pale silver body with subtly reddish dorsal fin margins that deepen in well-conditioned specimens. Its slightly more streamlined body compared to M. hypsauchen gives it an elegant, torpedo-disc hybrid appearance.

Care follows the standard Metynnis template: herbivorous diet, soft acidic to neutral water, and group housing in 200L or larger aquaria. The Madeira drainage origin means it strongly benefits from slightly acidic, soft water for optimal health and colouration.

Not subject to piranha restrictions.
