In the thriving world of ornamental fish trade, uniqueness, resilience, and market appeal are key factors driving global demand. One species that is quietly gaining attention among importers worldwide is the Blackberry Silver Dollar Indonesia — a striking variant of the popular Silver Dollar fish selectively bred and farmed in Indonesia. Combining a rare genetic trait, exceptional survival rate, and high commercial value, the Blackberry Silver Dollar is fast becoming a rising star in the freshwater tropical fish industry.
The Blackberry Silver Dollar
The Blackberry Silver Dollar (scientific genus: Metynnis sp.) is a selectively bred freshwater tropical fish known for its distinct dark coloration, resembling the hue of a ripe blackberry. Unlike the standard silver variant, this fish exhibits a deep bluish-purple to black tone across its flanks — a feature that has made it a favorite among collectors and aquarists looking for something rare and visually captivating.
This variant is not a naturally occurring mutation, but the result of careful breeding in Indonesian aquaculture facilities. Through years of selection, we have isolated the Blackberry phenotype — a stable, inheritable trait that now defines this unique strain.
Rare Genetics, Real Demand
The appeal of the Blackberry Silver Dollar lies not only in its beauty but also in its genetic rarity. Unlike common morphs that flood the market, this variant remains exclusive, with limited production capacity ensuring it retains a premium status.
For international importers, this translates into strong market differentiation. Retailers and distributors can position this fish as a high-end, limited-edition product, ideal for customers seeking something beyond the ordinary. The uniqueness of its genetic profile also adds value in breeding programs, making it attractive for hobbyists and fish farms alike.
Built to Survive: High Viability in Transport and Adaptation
One of the most important concerns for tropical fish importers is survivability — from farm to shipment, and ultimately to end consumers. The Blackberry Silver Dollar Indonesia scores exceptionally high in this area.
Thanks to its robust physiology and stress resistance, the Blackberry variant shows:
-
Low mortality during international shipping
-
Strong adaptability to various water conditions
-
Excellent feeding behavior and low aggression levels
These traits make it not only easier to handle through long-distance export logistics, but also ideal for community tanks, increasing its compatibility and appeal in diverse aquarium setups.
Indonesia: Home of Quality and Sustainable Breeding
Indonesia is already a global hub for ornamental freshwater fish, exporting to over 100 countries worldwide. The Blackberry Silver Dollar adds another premium offering to the country’s already rich portfolio.

This makes sourcing Blackberry Silver Dollars Indonesia efficient, safe, and reliable for international buyers.

-
Visually unique – Instantly stands out in any tank display
-
Marketable as a “premium variant” – Appeals to collectors and hobbyists

Backed by a stable supply chain – Thanks to Indonesian breeding infrastructure
