If you're willing to drive up to Orange County, there is a store in Fountain Valley (Tong's Tropical Fish), they got a tank full of juv. blue dovii (the store labeled) size 1.5~2 inches selling for 10 bucks each, If you decide to buy from them you must quarantine them cause I'm already saw sigh of ich and some infections between them due to fighting with each others.

Ended up going with the jar due to availability. Still pretty happy with my selection. It's a great looking fish, and I'm excited to be keeping another arowana.

Do u only want a single fish due to less maintenance?

Single fish partially due to the maintenance, and partially because I miss having a monster. I wanted something mean

I would love to keep a Ray, unfortunately illegal in California. California bans everything fun.

I visited the store yesterday and stood in front of Dovii fries tank for 20 minutes then I decided to pick the most dominant one out of hundred fries in there LOL. Its meant attitude also biggest one in tank (beating/chasing all others around) I would say its a male hahaha Its already eating like a pig in my tank. I'm thinking to hybrid breed it with a Jag later

I used to have both Dovii and Jag (Hunduras Jag) pair, but I never try to cross breed them. The blue shine + a jag body pattern from google image does look awesome and motivate me try to cross breed them
