Hey all,

I've been talking about doing a Dorado ID thread for a while and I've finally started work on it. I'm collecting pictures of what constitutes Dorados.

What I'd like help with is with two different things:

If anyone has a Dorado and would like their fish featured in the thread, post up pics! DB, I'm looking at you. ;)

I'd also like help finding fish that look like a Dorado and could be confused with one. I'm thinking Brycons and pink tailed chalceus, but I'm not tracking too much else. Any ideas?

:cheers:

For the record, I'm not lazy, slacking or unknowledgeable about Dorados, I'd like to think my track record with posts of this sort supports that claim, I'm simply trying to involve the community. I could easily knock this out in an afternoon by myself, but I'd rather make this a community project. This could be fun!

If you have anything to contribute to a CARE and identification thread, just post it up. I'd really rather have one (or more!) of you guys who has had success keeping a Dorado write the care part. You would of course be given credit for your work. See my ATF stick care section. for the type of info that I would consider ideal.

I look forward to seeing what you brilliant minds might have to add :)

I'll get some stuff dug up after the weekend..... Think I have some video of the old groups.

Will be sure to get some pics of "Nixon" the Argy in the net next time he's moved. Wish I knew the Odoe would accept him, paranoid to move yet, not sure how dangerous a big group of Odoe is to a single fish....
