You can make it work the thing that may help you is the size difference of the fish. When the dovii get large enough they should stick to the open water and as long as you have hiding places for the generals they should be able to back down the dovii. I've always kept small Africans with my central's and they are way faster and move through the cracks and crevices very quickly. Different fish same idea. I say do it and be the exception. 300 gallons is a lot of room to make this work with some cleverly thought out rock and wood placement.

What's the point of having the generals if the dovii are going to rule the tank and force the generals to hide all the time. Anyways if that male even rams a general once its a death punch with a slim chance of survival. That's not even including aggression during breeding.

I see your logic, but the point of dithers is to divide aggression and distract an aggressive specimen, not to fight back. The five stars are sweet in their own right, but if you happen to get a pair, your dovii are gonna have shredded fins, and if the dovii so chooses, the five stars will be lunch. I'd stick to silver dollars as dithers and keep replacing them. Lol I've never had a dither fish fight back.
