If i had known this was the ATF i would have not purchased him.
It isn't and African tiger fish. Dorados are from South America. If you've been doing research on atf you've likely been mislead as far as attitude goes, but diet and tank requirements are pretty close I'd say.

Well,you are still in the same boat that you would have been if it was an ATF as both species are large growing, active characins and the dorado might even be more active than the tiger fish.
