Well you seem to have read up, so you'll learn like many others I guess lol

Yes lots of reading about all of them.
But i also know the odds of this working in the long run is %LOL
i have two 75gal a 55 gal and 125gal plus the new 300. If things start to go south on me ill fip them around

I can move this the SA/CA cichlids if you like? That way it's in the right section when you have a lone dovii lol

.
Sure if you would like i just have hybrids an West Africa CA an SA on my list so i wasn't sure. An yes one dovii. Im thinking he will be boss

I was only joking. In my experience anything in a tank with dovii and ends up a tank with a single dovii, hence the joke. The only tank mates my old dovii would allow was sand. That dude was insane

Yea lol dovii are mean
There all so small im hoping for the best.
That maybe them be raised together might make the difference

A lot of us already went that route too still ended up single Dovii hehehe! If they all survived when they are around 6~10 inches then you might have a change, good luck! There's always hope but very slim hehehe.

Lol its a good size tank so we will see

well... I hate to break it to you but that probably will not work. I have a 340 gallon and had to put my 6 inch dovii in there temporarily for a few days with my 16 inch datnoid and 15 inch Red tail Giant gourami and several others and he ripped them all up. I have had a buttikoferi before with several other cichlids back when i first got into the hobby 8-9 ish years ago in a 180 gallon and it was far from working out.....Now that I have had several tanks over 400 gallons and many over 300 gallons and played around with several combinations in the past I wont be making that mistake again. I wish you all good luck....you will learn like the rest of us have. although you could get very lucky and have all females or the very uncommon very timid personality of every fish you have suggested. good luck!

This is why i never got into cichlids. Nasty buggers

Good luck with the dovii

 

[dan518]

Ive see


Ive see videos of set up wear everything. Is working out. Lol but we will have to wait and see. Could be all good. Or a catastrophe

I have seen lots of video with similar combinations ask the owner a year on if he still has his fish, the answer is always No. Black nastys will try and kill every thing in the tank if they can't they get stressed and die of bloat, your going to end up with a solo dovii if it's male

Not all of them.

When this is down to only #1 and #2, and then eventually #2 lol I bet it'll be a nice single species tank.
