Baby Dorado

This is just a great pic of a baby Dodo caught in a net. Looks almost like a small freshwater Yellow Perch. I've read that they grow super fast too.

Tunavic- I know you have seen or even caught these fish. This is a "mahi-mahi. Originally called a Dolphinfish, but that got confused with the oceanic mammals, so sports fishermen started calling them with their Mexican name of Dorado. Some shorten it to Dodo. We occasionally have them locally in floating kelp paddies, but most are caught in warmer Mexican waters.

there's another fish called the dorado, too.. A characin species from south america, which looks like a super saiyan trout/bass hybrid.

Very nice photo!

It looks like a little eating machine but a half scoop of those would be perfect!
