My jag pair happy in the 145, They are sitting on clutch I have no ideal what number after 3 years. Dividers a wonderful thing, 140 tank, 240 tank, 400 tank, male going to beat the crap out of the female 3 weeks out of the month. That is just the way they roll.

I am not on these forms much any more but I do monitor them on occasion. I had to jump in on this. Please do not keep a Dovii or pair of Dovii in anything less then 500 gallons minimum. They are very amazing fish and need the space to thrive. I know, I have kept them for over 40 years now. Sometimes I feel the 600 gallon tank my current male lives in is too small.

Parachromis are terrible pairs to keep. Dividers are nice, but we should all just stop breeding them.

My male is only 14" just now but I know just now a larger tank isn't needed and won't be needed for a long time if he doesn't become more active. Just now he swims around my 260 slowly, never darts around or swims quickly so my tank looks huge for him.

Of course you do sweetie

I feel like you just digitally pinched my cheeks and I might be slightly offended

Every fish is different too. My male rtm lays down in his pot, for hours..all 13" of him!
