Black blotches on Dovii head?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I havent had much contact with OP but I will say my fishkeeping skills/habits have greatly improved since my teenage years, so there may be hope for him. I will say as a kid we didnt have access to MFK's and other sites, so slightly different situation but...

I think it takes a while for us all to realise that fish keeping is about discipline, you cannot house all the fish you want, and patience, monster dovii take 5 years or more to look truly impressive. We all start off making bad choices. But the op really needs to start learning a bit quicker and showing more compassion, he has been on this forum long enough to know he is being a bit of a tube.

I don't know why you all waste your time on this guy.
He has zero compassion for the fish he keeps and is an absolute disgrace to the hobby.
He has been advised numerous times in the past about compatibility and still countless fish have been beaten to death in his "care".
A real selfish cruel individual.
One of the worst hobbyists I have encountered during my time on mfk.
Mr duckboots, you are a disgrace and should not be allowed to keep animals.

Say it to my face. I returned him today and got $60 store credit when I only payed $30 for him

You probably have your answer right there. Hith can spread and often times it doesn't need to be white. I've seen plenty of Oscars get it where the holes started as dark indentations. Then got worse.


Hex as in Hexamita, a parasite that starts in the stomach and then can spread into the lateral line and head.

What should I look out for on the lateral line just for the knowledge of it idk if that's what my Dovii has but I wanna be prepared for if I even have to deal with it

Very good, are you sure he didn't just whack his face hard?
Great looking dovii btw pal.

If him hitting his face would be able to cause that darkening around his face I could see that being the reason because he'll swim very fast chasing the RQ somwtimes when he gets inraged. He never hurts we tho just chases and puts husband mouth in her with out closing it
