My male dovii is about 8-9" now and the female is 5". They're all about .5'' bigger than it says now, they're growing quick. I'm not really worried until they get about 4-5" b/c I've only got a 150g....
If you go that way, you have the chance of the existing fish defending the territories they have already made. Growing a community up as juvies has always been the best way to go for me, and adding other tankmates in the future is always hit or miss..Joshooo;3334719; said:I thought going tank mates in first would be the best way to help the survive?
Should i go all at once as Juvies?
And is there an easy way to sex them as juvies?
So not worried about increased aggression? Just a stocking problem? I quite like Dovii so that could be an option for tank matesDavey_8313;3334744; said:My male dovii is about 8-9" now and the female is 5".

For the most part, juvies look pretty similar.
Why stress them out? Just put them all in the 350gal together and let them pair up in there. Then just remove the ones you don't want any more. Moving established pairs has potential of breakin the pair bond, which isn't such a good thing.A Juvie Community it is ill have to keep the RT's in another tank until a pair is formed and then ill just take all the fish out and introduce them together and rearrange the decor.. would that work?
So how many would you recommend? No problems of territorial disputes?Peanut_Power;3334798; said:Why stress them out? Just put them all in the 350gal together and let them pair up in there.

That would be something!Davey_8313;3334811; said:Yeah, just a stocking problem sorta. Not really though, I plan on building a big tank/pond for the dovii pair...
