Super interested in getting back into fish keeping. I had a dovii for several years and grew him up to about 14” but had to sell the setup to move. I’m ready to do it all again. Any leads on top quality fish would be greatly appreciated!
Actually it was more of a fishing trip, but my daughter and I did collect about 40 fish for the lodges many aquariums. Besides the huge Dovii I put in my other post, here are some of the fish we collected. Some released, some put in aquariums , and a couple eaten.
I had the opportunity to fish in southeastern Nicaragua this week and caught some huge Dovii cichlids on spinnerbaits and crankbaits. All fish released other than a couple small ones I put in the lodge aquarium where they promptly ate the small baitfish that were in there. Really beautiful place...
Hi everyone, this post is open to everyone (not just American cichlids) so feel free to tell your friends to post their stories. Let’s talk about cichlids that break the mold. I’m talking about one that should be hyper aggressive (dovii, umbee, buttikoferi etc) but are mild mannered or even...
At this stage it’s starting to become a running theme the whole notion of me having parachromis species that I am unsure of the exact parentage.
Here’s another one for you all.
This I picked up today. I’ve attached a photo in the tank, in the bucket in natural sunlight and of the vents
I believe...
I have two dovii I picked up about 6 months ago. One of them has claimed alpha in the tank and what a show he has been putting on.
I’ve always wanted this species and when I got the opportunity to grab one I picked up two just to be safe. They’ve both survived and I’m not sure which is male and...

Hello all! I am new to the forums and looking for insights and ideas.
Little background: I have had aquariums my whole life, all around the 55 - 100 gallon sizes. Had big catfish before, but mostly deal in the cichlid arena. Currently I only have one 100-gallon tank with haps and peacocks. They...
Lol as per title. I actually want to very specifically buy a female dovii but... it's not easy. Asking for your help to see if anyone knows anyone who may be willing to part with their female dovii.
I am located in Seattle, but willing to pay for a shipping. I won't be able to get the fish...
Hi, I have just acquired a female Dovii, about 7", and have her in a quarantine tank at the moment. I already have another female Dovii of similar size who is currently housed in with a group of six Spotted Metynnis and a large Common Pleco. In the short term, I was thinking of putting the new...

Hi I'm pretty much just wondering if I can put my baby dovii in with my green terrors I know it's a risk on my green terrors end as they won't harm him but will he harm them even being way smaller
Sad videos, but really shows what can happen if a Piranha and cichlid ever fought for territories! Frightening, I worry the Flowerhorn is blind, did it's eye get bit?? Poor dovii too.
How often do you think this happens in the wild? I always thought dovii's and Amphilophus are top dogs of the...
