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.

So far not that impressive. Eating like a horse. Growing like a turtle. Looks same as yours. Probably about the same size too 15"-16".

The diet is catfish farm pellets and thawed fish 2-3 times a day. The regime is brutal authoritarian dictatorship cuz that's the way I like it.

Yours and Ken's little schools are eye catching candy. Breathtaking. I got a single frankie from Jeff Rapps 2-2.5 years ago.
