My camera really stinks but this video reveals good deal of the dorado's cover and movement in close range. Enjoy B) Besides the obvious, there also are a male trimac and 12" Gibb and L97 in this tank.

sweet fish.
how big is the tank ?
and how well behaved is the trimac with the other fish?

The tank is 72"x24"x29".

The trimac is the bully of this tank. Although he doesn't really inflict any lethal damages, he pushes arowanas around, chases after dorados (somtimes scattering their scales), and charges at the 12" Gibb. Pleco at full force.
 
A very nice combination of fishes.

Anyway, won't the dorado fight among each other?
I heard that dorado are rather aggressive esp to own species.
