Pet Forum / Aquaria / General / June 2005Striped Dora - free to a good home
Hi I have a 5 inch long striped dora that is to big for the community setup here he keeps eating the smaller fish, i need him to goto a new home. my 4 year old daughter has not noticed the missing fish yet. So if any one wants him just shout im in Telford Shropshire.

I very much doubt the Dorad is responsible for the missing fish if it is Platydoras costatus - they are too slow and lumbering to catch anything. In the wild they live mostly on snails. If it is Orinocodoras eigenmanni there are reports of them taking small fish but I've had one now for 20 years and he has never touched anything. Most likely fish have just died and been eaten by their tank mates. A Dorad will quite happily eat any dead fish they find.

Have you got a new home for him now? If not, you could bring him in to Maidenhead Aquatics at Merepark Newport. I'm sure I could find a tank for him at work - if not I could probably fit him in one of my tanks at home.
