You say your getting 6 babies for a 6x2x2. It seems keeping them in a smaller space helps with aggression. Why not put a divider in the tank and Just keep moving it along as they grow until they get to about 12-14" then take the divider out.
Dorado's are super rare in the UK so that price seems reasonable. I'd love some myself but I've just spent a fortune on asian arowanas.

yes.i got a spare 6x2x2 for the sole intention of raising them up in there. but, got told by a few people to keep them in smaller to control aggression. hmmm. i will bare that in mind and try putting try putting them in there anyway with say 100 or so cheap danios as dithers and see how they do. any aggression then i will put them in a 55g.
will post photos of new tank and fish once i finished cycling it . . . watch this space.

TO TIMTHEBADASS;

first time i saw dorado in the u.k and there super rare. wildwoods in enfield - london. will import you some if you ever want them. they are the #1 shop in the whole of the u.k. worth the trip if you want exclusive fish.
