Hello all,

I currenly have 4 tanks.

1 - 220 gal in VA (see below)
1 - 10 gal in VA (for feeders)
1 - 150 gal in NY (small fish for now..1 3 inch ATF ..get bigger, start eating!!!)
1 - 72 gal in NY

I have a bunch of gansters in my 220 gal:


1 - 20 inch Dovii
1 - 14 inch oscar
1 - 11 inch dovii
1 - 13 inch jaguar (killed 2 - 5 inch Pirahnas)
1 - 11 inch jag
1 - 9 inch female jag
1 - 13 inch red devil
1 - 11 inch red devil
1 - 10 inch Green terror
1 - 8 inch compressor
1 - 6 inch red belly Pirahna
1 - 6 in Texas cichlid
1 - 9 in bloody parrot

about 5-6 other 4-6 inch fish survivin just fine for now.

recent deaths -- 1 - 12 - inch sabertooth (over fed on goldfish), 2 pirahnas, 1 - 12 inch dovii killed by 20 inch

This weekend I dumped in the 20 inch dovii (new to tank) and the oscar (previous king of the tank) made about 3 staged attacks over the first 60 minutes until the dovii engaged, locked jaws and the dovii got underneath and pile drove the oscar into the top knocking the lid half off! Now dominance has been stablished.

I am amazed at how fiesty the Bloddy parrot is...it fights anything. Also the compressor and small african's constantly nip at the pirahna who is completely in check solo without any other partners in crime.

Welcome Iturk!

Yeah the BP are very tough and resilient.. i had a pair and they were the only ones
who lived in my jardini tank.. not only live but they even had the guts to lay eggs!
The jar would bite their head and shake in violently at times, but the BP doesnt even
care. BPs all the way! LOL

:) Its 2 inches bigger than you last saw it!!! Will post pics soon. My wife has the task of feeding all the fish in the 220 gal M-F while I am up working in NY. She literally gets splashed sometimes by the red devils and green terror.

Didn't work at Pets but perhaps I wish i did will all the coin i have spent.

what are the dimensions on your 220? cant wait to see this 20" dovii. How long ago did you get the dovii, and what size was it then?
