15 dovii and i have a pair

[dmopar74]

imagine going out to feed the fish and finding a pair of dovii doin the deed in a 100g tank housing 15 dovii and a 18" pleco, baaahahaha.

thought there were way too many dovii sharing the same space for this too happen, esp at 4-5".

anyways she's pretty pissy chasing everything off, and he's the same as he's ever been, stout but calm.

i havent lost a single fish outta the 15 yet, but i fear i might soon. sad thing is i cant even give any of em away locally.

pics of him and her.

Sweet. Congrats.
Was he the alpha male in your opinion?

 

[dmopar74]

always. has always been the largest, most colorfull, and most dominant since i brought them home 3 1/2 months ago.

Congrats. I am amazed you haven't had any casualties yet.

 

[dmopar74]

me too. there's a little 2" runt female in there that is yellow as the sun, feisty little thing. might pull her out and keep her as well, she's put up such a good fight so far she deserves a break in life.

Female is a beast. Good genetics. With that many fish to spread aggression you'll hopefully not have losses for a while.
