Hey guys

My lfs recently got Dorado in and they look pretty cool to keep...Before I jump into getting 1 or a pair can anyone give 1st hand experience in keeping them??

Diet?

General care??

TIA

Should check out other meme era thread, kendragon kendragon has a good I one from when he got them to pretty much present. DB junkie DB junkie also has good threads on both Frankie and brassie. Try the search function here, you’ll see threads that mimic this one

They are awesome fish to keep, however will need a good size tank and these fish like a lot of current.
If you plan on having tankmates be careful, they are tank bullies there speed is what enables them to pick on fish and get away with it.
