Golden Dorado ID

Hi guys, I wanted to get an expert opinion from you guys to see if what I picked up is a juvenile Brasi. He is one mean little sucker, has been harassing all tank mates regardless of size differences like chasing a VATF 3-4 times larger.

Probably a Franky then. But idk the head seems kind of blunt to... This one gets me. I'm not very confident in my Notice opinion since chicx proved me wrong lol. But this one has straight lince for the most part. My initial thought is Franky.

I'd call that fish brasiliensis. They seem to be far more common in the East than they are stateside for some reason.

C Chicxulub xulub You wouldn't believe that this 8-9inch dorado has bullied my VATF which is way larger by maybe 4 times in mass into submission and VATF still has not eaten since I've separated them. I picked this one out of a shoa of Frankies, maybe 40-50 of them. I believe there was another 2 in the group but it was incredibly diffucult to catch a specific one in a large tank. I do believe they are little bit more common here though, I have friends here with pretty large Brasis in comm tanks.

moe214 Its just a mala around 30cm, nothing special yet.
