Fish Banners

Posted on by

I am planning to make a big fishy banners for the fishes at home. But I am still thinking where to print the five fishy banners I already have designed just in my mind yet.

For the printing of these five banners, I first look over the internet some printing companies online so I have ideas how much each banner would cost me because these are somehow big banners and I guess pricey also.

Hope I can find printing companies online that offers cheap banner printing then.

Silver Dollar Fishes

While chatting with a friend about different tropical fishes, we have mentioned and gotten even curious with Silver Dollar Fishes. At first, my friend threw me a joke like are Silver Dollar Fishes looking the same as 1883 silver dollar? “As we wish“, was my only answer.

I am not sure if I have seen Silver Dollar Fishes in person yet but they are looking the same as to what I have imagined — the fishes I’ve seen in the pet shop in our place. The fishes there were silver also in color but not as shining as most of the reviews online said about these fishes.

Here are some of the descriptions of Silver Dollar Fishes:

  • Scientific Name: Metynnis hypsauchen
  • Common Names: Silver Dollar Fish
  • Size: 6 – 7 inches (15 – 18 cm)
  • pH: 6 – 7.5
  • Temperature: 75°F – 82°F (24°C – 28°C)
  • Water Hardnes : 8° to 15° dH,
  • Life span: 5 – 10 years
  • Origin/Habitat: South America

I’ve seen a lot of outdoor wall fountains of different styles and sizes but I am just wondering if we can rear even small fishes on these outdoor wall fountains. The following are some of the elegant outdoor wall fountains.
