Cool. At that size I would try the cut fish,krill, or mystis shrimp.Ive heard of people having luck with blackworms and bloodworms as well
I'm not sure. I am kind of confused. I bought two from Raymond Chan at 1.5" last Summer/Fall. They were tiny but looked the same metallic... unless I am losing it... I don't recall that dorado look differently when small. Tigs do - they have no stripes.
Well, you already got it, so let's hope we will see what it grows into
I've definitely seen the difference in some species with this fish at local aquatics distribution that I go to. There was even a thread on here..fish came up as Id and was about 2in. If I can find I will post. Some appear more dark grey than metallic silver at that size. Don't know if it's a collection points or what but I've personally seen that. This may be what lightsout is seeing.
Thanks guys. Well here's a short video. Offered cut fish and a few bloodworms yesterday and no luck. Thinking of possibly going bare bottom for the time being to help him see the food better. Last resort I guess will be feeders.
Not sure if you can tell but the bottom half of his body has the metallic sheen some parts of the top seem to be showing up as well. Let me know what you think. Again he's tiny, about 2.5 inches.

Perfect example photo of the coloration differences in some of these when small
Thank you both. I've learned something new. The fish in the video does look like a rousseauxii / dorado, so I'd not worry about the ID.
