C Chicxulub mind to help me ID this?

Looks brasi.

It has the LOOK of a brassy, but that's not 100% reliable; it just gets pretty damn close. You'll have to count scales to be 100% sure.

I'd say the head look thing gets it right about 85% of the time. There's significant overlap.

Thanks...

I currently have a 45cm dorado in my 6,600 gal tank, and i am planning to get one on the video size 40cm. Will they get along?

I usually don't recommend 2 of anything but in that tank you may be alright. Dorado don't mind eachother much in general. It's just they'll try to establish a hierarchy and the beta won't get a break on the alphas bad days.

Agreed.

In a tank that big, you've got a reasonable chance of it working out ok.
