DBJunkie could i ask your advice?

I've two juvenile brassys just arrived they're around 6-8" each and are on their own in a 6x2x2 grow out with a 12" hypo plec. I've got two pond pumps acting as powerheads for stronger flow circulation and a 17000 pond pump as the return from my sump onto a splitter creating two jet currents either side of the tank. (Obviously only flowing as fast as the pipe allows). Sumps heated, giant monstera growing in center of tank, two air blocks and a gian sponge filter Because why not.

They've just started fighting between the pair of them. ??‍♀️ Any tips on combating Dorado to Dorado aggression? 9 times out of 10 they're fine with each other.

Any other invaluable advice? These are my first dorado and there's limited information online for them as pets: I don't use social media so as pleased to find MFK!

thanks for the great video!
 
These are the little ones. Sold as brassie, from the Dorado ID thread I can honestly say I have no clue if brassy or Frankie. Leaning brassy

I see a black dot on the gill plate / side of the fish......

Sometimes the easiest way of ID'ing is to just grow them out....

My easiest way of insuring I got real deal Brasiliensis is to source them from the ONE AND ONLY source I'd ever trust to get me the real deal - Wes. (Rare Fish). Most vendors will tell you whatever you want to hear if it results in a sale.
