Has anyone tried either of those with their bass and if so how did it work out? I was thinking about jumping on an upcoming group order from rapps and getting a few of each.

depending on alot of things.
first off,dorado work better in tanks with alot of fish to spread aggression.
it should work with alot of dithers.
i think the aggression will be during feeding time where the pbass will try to be the first to eat and the dorado would whoop on them...
expect at least torn fins.
 
ive seen pbass and dorados done alright. never seen or heard of emperors with them, esp since they are from diff continents and environments.

heehee mine lasted about 10 minutes i had to remove the emps as one of my mono crushed one of the emp's head and nearly knocked him out ( he was sinking and swimming side ways). but they are all good now, maybe will try again later when the emps caught up in size.

just IME the emps has to be one of the fastest growing cichlids, bought mine @3" within a month he was close to 5.5".:WHOA:
