i have a 6.5" dorado that i had to put with two large cichla and the dorado killed beat the 7" orino pretty bad.

the dorado is in a 125 gal tank right now that has a few pieces of driftwood.

Im looking for a tankmate that he wont kill or badly beat up. Any suggestions from dorado owners or owners of maybe brycon?

thanks
 
a large characin like an ATF or armatus?
 
AAAAAALLLLL BYYYYYYY MMMMYYYYYYY SEEEEEEEELLLLLLLFFFF!

Dorados like to be...

No but seriously, Dorados don't do well with other fish, especially ATF. They're just like a Jardini: every now and then you'll see one that gets along ok in a group, but for the most part it's a really, really bad idea.
 
Keep trying him with the cichla......ime it was just the beginning that was hairy....they bass eventually got over it and just ignored him and the fighting stopped.
