You know you're on Holiday when the fish room smells like arse because you fed more often than normal.

kendragon the last video you posted was it during a water change? Or are you running a lowered water level? If your running the lowered water level has it changed the behavior of the dorado at all? Just curious they are looking beautiful colors are really popping on the the fins. Do you know at what size do they start turning gold? Sorry for all the questions Ken Merry Christmas!

No change in water level.
Color and size started at 6 months. Still only feeding pellets. I did go back to WC once a week due to work schedule. I think the difference you're seeing is due to the heater. During the summer there was no heater. Heater was plugged-in in Nov.
Aggression has not changed. Still picking at each other except not as fast due to bigger size. I have accepted this behavior and scales falling doesn't bother me anymore.
Happy Holidays to All.
