keep fr small better. i prefer to keep fr small is to enjoy it slowly change color n also for it to get used to its friends in the tank. so chances of attacks when it get bigger is less. cos used to those fishes swimming with it liao.

wow. lucky day, lucky time and got lucky price (fish and cost)! hahaha..

over the last 2 weeks, the first week was kinda slow cos eat very small pieces of MP and didnt show any growth but 2md week whack the same MP size as the rest of fishes. It has grow about 1". I think it grows so fast is becos it keeps swimming left right up down at fast speed than the rest. hehehehe.. you also like the way it swims right?

QUITE is an understatement

these guys are small terror. i used to hav 1 ard 8inch, once it got stable it can do massive harm especially when it is hungry.

there was once i go malaysia for 3 day, and nobody at home to feed fish. when i come home, he was the only fellow swimming in the tank happily, i cannot find my 12inch knifefish and 10inch endy, whereas he got a huge tummy

that is just their natural instinct.

if either ur endi or knife is faster the dorado will b in their tummy.

i dont judge a fish aggressiveness when its hungry. ive had fishes (EE, ropefish, etc...) that go missing/partially eaten in my tank due to hungry fishes.
