monster fish

If you are into monster fish, you gotta come see this things...

Salminus brasiliensis - Golden dorado.

Not very big right now at about 4"-6". But they will turn into a beast soon...

Holy crap!!!
I was thinking mean looking Salmon but...
Check out this pic:








Now that's 1 crazy predator.

Here an idea of what it actually looks like:



I can't believe you have these monsters Charles!!!
Are you planning on keeping any for yourself?

[charles]

I don't know yet. Makes a good conversation topic. And they are not salmon, not even the same family. The name is misleading... It is not a salmon nor a salt water dorado.

@ 1st glance it looked like a salmon(body wise), after seeing more pix it quickly changed my mind. LOL
Feeding time @ you place would be on a new level if you keep a few of these guys, & feeding time is already pretty nuts @ your place.

OMG those are some nice monsters, gotta love that salmon like body / head.

Damn I really want some, but gotta be bigger or dinner time for my monsters.

You finally found them. Crap!!! Tempting but got no extra room for a 4-6" fish. Pm me the price and are you able to get a 12" or bigger? Got too much breeding pair of expensive cichlids for that fish to eat if I added that fish.

Watch Blue Planet. This fish swallowed a Brycon, a vegetarian version of this fish that is almost the same size.

If i'm not mistaken they are in the same group as the piranhas. (??)

[charles]
