[cichlid_keeper91]

What kind of dovii is that, it looks a little different? Very Very nice markings.

[SouthCentral]

Yeah, there is some crazy colour going on there! Very nice fish. Someday...when I'm not on the fourth floor of a crappy apartment building, I will get an 8 foot and will have one of those beasts. :)

[pingpong]

Awsome fish! I hope mine eventually looks that good.

I posted a video 2 months ago in the video section call "CRAZY DOVII"...........Look it up he's hella aggressive...I recorded it with my digital camera so the quality isnt the best but its worth seeing........

[polomax24]

Nice fish! The dark gravels really bring out his colors!

[DarthLungFish]

OMG, Big Fat Fish! Very Cool looking colors on his body, The dark backround in the tank really lets him "Show-Off". Rock-On!!:headbang2

[oriolesdt09]

[Opiate]

IMO no fish matches the personality of a large Male Dovii.........You will not regret owning one of these awesome predators....

[DeLgAdO]

are all doviis agressive?

you would there would be one that has a passive nature

of is like my FH and just chases fish that get in his way

[DeLgAdO]

You will not regret owning one of these awesome predators....

if it kill everything in my tank then yes i would :P

[REC]

I guess you would have to sit and watch a large dovii to appreciate them. I too at one time was one that would never deticate a large tank to one fish until i saw my first large dovii and i was hooked. I've owned other large aggressive fish FlowerHorns,RD's,Trimac's,Jag's and a very insane Buttikoferi but still none of those fish come even close to the power and grace of a large male dovii. Also Delgado you obviously have a very passive FH because i had to keep mine solo in a 80 gallon cause he was crazy and most are.

[CichlidAddict]

^^ Agreed. They're a cool enough fish for me to dedicate a 240 gallon for a pair. When they get larger they have amazing speed and power. Their tails get huge and their fins start to "wrap". My male can fly from one end of the 8 foot tank to the other in a matter of seconds. leaving a big wave behind him.
And the only thing that survives in that tank is a single pleco.

Damn maybe i should try to re-introduce a large pleco into my tank but my dovii so far will allow nothing in his tank..........

[RedDevilDon2005]

very beautiful, nice hump too.

[jsfunk78]

it makes me wanna get one

[REC]

it makes me wanna get one

Well if you are willing to deticate a large tank for one fish its well worth it....You will enjoy a dovii everytime you watch it. Their personality is unmatched when they are large IMO...

[Loubard]

Great looking fish!

[Ripdevil]

what size did you get him at

[REC]

[QUOTE=Ripdevil;451716]what size did you get him at[/QUOTE

He was about 2.5 inches..........

[JESTERX626]

how active is that dovii? i've read that they usually just float around, or..?

[Tacklethedovii]

Great pictures of your dovii. He looks like a true monster. Wonderful color on that bad boy. My largest male dovii is only about 8.5 inches and has a long way to reach that size. He killed his girlfriend (8 inch female dovii) on July 4th. That was completely depressing. They had just spawned and everything appeared fine, until he just lost it and tore her apart.

My dovii is the most active fish i've ever owned....He will attack the glass hard if you come within 5ft. of his tank...The things with dovii's is the bigger they get usually the meaner and more aggressive they get and if you give them excellent water parameters and plenty of space there colors will blow you away.

[RudeLou]

wow that's one badass looking fish i can't wait to move out and get a huge tank just so i can get one of those

ooh ic, beautiful fish. does he sit around most of the time or does he swim and keep swimming?

[Im4u2nV]

very beautiful dovii...

nice color and marking :drool:

[REC]

He's always on the move, always parolling the area.....As soon as anyone walks in my office he's on them like a pitbull. If you come within 3ft. of the tank he will pound the glass
so hard you can hear his teeth smack against the glass. I have to occasionally yell at my employees for teasing him because sometimes i'm worried he's going to hurt himself because he smacks the glass so hard.

[Gr8KarmaSF]

very nice!

[mudskipper]

I love the blue on that thing. Rapps is king:thumbsup:

[fish_freak]

awesome dovii

[ammerman19]

I am unable to look at the other pics since I don't have 5 posts yet :( but if he is the one in your avatar then that is a beatiful fish. Maybe I should just get one of those and not worry about anything else. What do you feed him?
