Give them a roomy tank with gentle filtration, since fancy goldfish are messy and produce a lot of waste. Their telescope eyes give them poor eyesight, so keep decor smooth and rounded with no sharp edges, and make sure they are not outcompeted at feeding time. Feed a sinking goldfish diet to support digestion and reduce the swim bladder issues that round-bodied goldfish are prone to.

Silver Dollars are voracious herbivores. The only live plants that reliably survive are tough, low-palatability species like Anubias, Java Fern, and Bolbitis — and even those can get nibbled.
