Dorado feeding time

[headbanger_jib]

I was thinking of getting a group of those. Now I am!!! I count five, is that correct? Nice fish

yes you're right, although I started with 6, lost when one went and got stuck in a hole in a driftwood I was using as decor, now no more hole driftwood

What's the long term plan for these guys? 5 at 18-20in will be impressive. I've read they start getting really aggressive after 12in including to each other.

I do have an Adonis pleco, his algae wafers are left alone, and I am planning to add a 10" motoro to this tank, hoping that the ray is allowed to eat, else would've to target feed

Sounds awesome.

they are a tight schooling fish now, they do bicker with each other, but nothing serious, if the space is small the fights are much more violent.

I have a 6500gallon pond, that currently houses a few gars and Rtc and a diplo. This is the pond for the tors and Dorado and cichla when time comes

Jib, you inspired me. Here's the group of 5 I picked up yesterday. Around the 4" mark.

I want one badly but I know they are too aggressive. + I only have room for a 180gal right now.
