so i had to put my 7" dorado in my 150 gal 10"kelberi and a 8" orino tank while i was setting up a new 180. the dorado beat the orino up pretty good and left some bite marks and took a bit of slime coat off the fish(nothing real serious). After waiting 3 days of acclimating the water in the 180 with healthy media and all good water conditions i added the orino and kelberi and everything went fine and i even bought a 9"azul to go in the 180 the following day.

so about 2 days after adding them to my 180 i noticed the orino acting funny and bumping into the glass and sitting on the bottom. I checked water conditions and everythign was normal. i went to check the tank 5 hrs later and the Orine was dead died.

i now have the dorado in his own 125....any suggestions as to a tankmate that he wont kill.

thanks mike
 
Dorados eat pbass in the wild. That was unfortunate. :(

Dorados are also known for their extreme aggression. I wish I could suggest a tankmate that would work for sure, but for every fish that someone says has worked with their Dorado, someone else will tell you that their Dorado killed that tankmate. Good luck bro. That's a hard fish to keep in a community, like a Jardini.

Agreed.I had a dorado in with my armatus which was bigger but the dorado was almost relentlessly harrassing the armatus.The dorado had to go....Poor orino.
 
How about more dorado??
