So do you think the dorados will grow to the tank size? We've all seen pictures of them in the wild. Huge and very golden yellow. What can we expect out of aquariums?
Curious to see if Viktor's dorado in the 4500g will do different.

Sweet video kendragon kendragon it looks like the dorado in the front are playing duck duck goose :).
I wonder if the dorado are swiming with the current in that corner?

Not sure why they did that. Not their normal behavior.

Growth have definitely slow down after the first year. Perhaps the small tank is preventing them from getting any bigger.
@ around 16" now.
