Dovii - Size to age ratio

[Andy woods cichlids uk]

Nice write up Andy as always. I aquired my dovii at about 60mm long June last year ibelieve, I'm now eyeballing him at 9.5 inch so I'm guessing I'm about on par at 6inch per year here, that's in crappy Kent UK tap water 30+ppm nitrate before it hits the tank!

I'm very lucky with my tap water here in Lincolnshire it always reads 0 ppm on API test kit.

Same, I enjoy Andy talking on his videos as much as the fish, I'm not confident enough to voice over my own videos yet!-)

Fantastic pictures Andy. He's a beautiful fish.

My home breed Dovii was spawned on the 3rd Feb 2012, 4 years 9 month's old. Got off to a slow start as many do, as he was in a fry with probably 50 or 60 others. I some times think a 4 or 5 inch juvenile fish in your LFS can be alot older than you think. Once you get them home they soon shoot up in size.

I know this thread is about Dovii, but just wanted to say my Umbee has got to 16 inch quicker than my Dovii, and Haitiensis not that far behind

Nice dovii. Why is this dovii so blue ? Do you know the collection point of the parents/grandparents. ?
