so far mine start to swim near the bottom of the tank with fishes ard the same size or much bigger. no signs of attack. hope it will remain this way.

there is feeders in the tank. so im not so worried about food.

u will b amazed by how fast some of them can grow when u do a very big WC twice a wk. then they will stop once they hit a certain size.

video ar...like this i need to ask elindra to bring my PNS camera over when she come n collect her stuffs.

then itchy liao lor. so i ask for price.
hehehe..if fed properly the dorado tail will show redness too. mine is almost totally red now with a black stripe in the middle of the tail which looks very cute. yesterday it was whack by my PBs but it still eat like pigs.

the other bro advice is good about comm with larger Aro. so far it makes peace with my african pike and RTG though the dorado is less than half their size.

i really agree with you bro about the WC can help on fish growth. I am doing 50-60% WC for my tank weekly (cos the chlorine level in chengdu water is quite low) and they have really grow fast and huge even only with one feeding at 7-8pm daily.

at least i will get an aro of ard the same size. if not i still can partition my tank till the aro is bigger or i can move it down with my PNTs 1st. now i have enough space to play ard with.

with aro bought same size, it will never be beat the growing rate of dorado bro. dorado growth is like 3" a month compare to aro at 1" a month both in best conditions. and dorado needs moderate to faster moving waters. in 3 months time you will be siao liao. hehehe... maybe....another.....6ft ....t..k.
