Dorado almost 8 month picture update.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
how bigwas it when you got and how big isit now?
 
Thanks guys.... He's currently sitting at about 14 inches. I got him from TUIC in Feb. at 8-9 inches. He actually gets much fatter then this, in fact he's actually only really picked over his food for the last 2 weeks for some reason....I'm not worried though he acts normally and has always been kind of a finicky eater.
 
Nice dorado!! How's his/her aggression towards the cichlas?

Thanks you.

The dorado (don't know if its a male or female yet) is completely the dominant fish in the tank....the cichla have much more mass than he does though and it protects them from his agressive nature. He nudges bumps and nips them frequently during the day absentmindedly and the bass dont pay him much attention. The peacock bass are much more aggressive eaters most of the time but sometimes the dorado eats until his belly bulges grotesquely.
