The tails will color like that as they age. Mine will show more red on some days then others. but it's a natural thing with these fish. If you find pics of adults from fishing sites there tails will look orange.
I think 4-5' is a little large think more along the lines of 3' in the wild and I'm seen pics of 24"+ in aquarium but it's rare.

I think they get a bit bigger than 3 feet Iv seen pic's of ones that had to be at least 4 foot long. 5 feet might be a little exsessive But I bet there out there.
thats good to know about the tail colloring thanks!

cool, cool. the shrimp might account for his red tail, it contains astaxanthin which promotes red coloration, especially if you feed with the shell. its very interesting, i've never seen such a deep red in a dorado's tail before.

Nice fish, I've always liked them but sadly we'll never see them here. What are they like in the tank, aggressive?
They can be.They are very active and always seem to be looking for a fight.Mine would snatch food from another fish's mouth and then would chase it around a little.
