Golden Dorado
Salminus brasiliensis
Size: 3’ [Often smaller, sometimes larger]
pH: 6.0-7.5
Tank size: 1000G/1 small group
Country of origin: Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina
Diet: Live and frozen foods. Can be weaned onto dry
Temperament: Aggressive, may tolerate some similarly-sized fish
Temperature: 70-80° F
Description
Salminus brasiliensis is an incredibly interesting South American predator. In the wild, these giant characins terrorize rivers, and are rather popular sport fish due to their robust and predatory nature. Given the aggressive nature of this species, few, if any tankmates are recommended-- however, they can coexist with some species.

These fish are popular sportfish due to their large size and robust personality, usually serving as the aquatic apex predator in its environment. They have also been introduced to several countries worldwide.

Very sorry for missing this one day. The reason for both this inconvience and this odd time of posting is because of a private issue that came up.

Temperament: Peaceful

Description
After today, the 100s will officially be complete-- day 200 is right ahead. We will close this era with Acheilognathus tonkinensis, a rare and little-known coldwater cyprinid native to Asia. While information is quite limited, it can be inferred based on the care of other bitterling species that this species is rather undemanding.
