Special Orders and how they work -

Every week (unless there's a shipping holiday or major weather event) we place a fish order! Orders are sent in on Tuesdays by 3pm.
We take special orders! We order them for you as they become available with our suppliers. If they aren't in stock, we can't bring them in, but we will keep trying!
How do you place an order?
Orders can be texted to our store number, called in, or most effectively, written down on our Special Order sheet in-store. All we need is your name, contact number, what you would like, and how many. If you have a specific size or color in mind, please let us know that too!
How do you know when your order arrives?
You will be contacted via the number you supplied to us when your order arrives. We will text you! If you have a landline, we will call!
Special order holds:
We will hold your special order for ONE WEEK. If we don't hear from you during that time, your order will be null and the order will be available for the general public. IF we hear from you, we will hold for as long as you need! BUT we NEED to hear from you!
What if it's not what I expected?
You are not required to take the order if it isn't what you wanted! However, you need to come look at your order and let us know.

If you have any other questions about special ordering, please reach out!

The Golden Dorado
Freshwater Dorado
It is called Dourado in Portuguese and Dorado in Spanish, meaning Golden.

Scientific Names:
Salminus maxillosus
Salminus hilarii
Salminus brasiliensis

Origin: La Plata basin

Size: a little over 40 inches (3.5 feet)

Weight: up to approx. 55 lbs

Popularity as a gamefish and not often kept in the home aquaria

Notes: A very appreciated gamefish, its occurrence in the Paraná basin has been threataned due to many dams. It has been maintained by means of artificial reproduction and release of fry.

Apperance:
As a juvenile the dorado seems to be more of a silvery color, but as it reaches larger sizes it begins to show it's beautiful golden coloration. The tail has a black marking on it throughout it�s life.

Behavior:
Dorado are very active fish and they often swim across the aquarium throughout the day. A relatively aggressive fish that is also known to school (if keeping multiple dorado it is recommended that they are the same size and you have a group of at least four to breakup the bullying. I have tried keeping three and ended up with only two that fight constantly and were therefore separated).

In a Community:
In a characin community tank, it rarely bothers the tats and armatus or the brycon or anything else but it does torpedo into whatever fish happens to be in the path of its constant patrolling.

Diet:
Juveniles will eat everything: cut up tilapia, market prawn, pellets, krill, bloodworms, and the occasional feeder. Keep in mind that these are a carnivorous species.

Growth:
In two months, they can grow about an inch, feeding on tilapia and krill.
