ahhhh right, it is called 黄金河虎.

my wife told me it looks like some tame and innocent river fish until she saw its teeth! Those i saw not as "golden" as your beautiful pics...at least 5 inches long.

How large it can grow in a tank? Will need at least a 6 footer to keep 2 to 3 pieces i assume.

the color wont come out so fast. their max size is ard 3ft. in tank most probably ard 2ft+. u will definitely need at least a 6ft for them.

*just a warning. they can b very aggressive. but many ppl (including myself) still cant resist the temptation of this beautiful monster.

i dont really care if they r aggressive or not. i always like to stick my hand into the water as long as they dont try to attack me.

Nice fish ! Their sharp teeth looks very fierce, will they fight with aro if the size is comparable?

they will. n they grow much faster than aro. they can nip on aros. that is why its recommended to get a dorado much smaller than the aro if u intend to comm them. my dorado is ard 7" n my aro is ard 10-11" now. i got my dorado 2wks+ ago at ard 5" n my aro at 1wk+ ago at ard 10".
