Thats a Dorado?When I was watchng the "Freshwater" show on discovery (albiet Discovery en espanol) I was almost sure I heard them call those predatory fish that swarm through Malawi at night "dorados".....



those fish on T.V. were pretty ugly,that fish in the pic is one I would like to have....although I hear they dont do "tankmates"?
