Be careful around breeding Dovi

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
OUCH! My 13" jag went for my hand for the first time about a month ago during a water change and he meant business! Gotta have respect for these monsters for sure!
 
My male has almost gotten me a few times, but only when feeding them. My female is much more defensive than he is towards me. Towards other fish, he's the more aggressive one.

Nice pics, Armac. :)
 
Good to see some larger dovi coming on out there. Maybe we can document a few more 20 inch dovi in the coming year.
 
Great looking Dovii? You got lucky He didn't do worse.i've had 5-6" Midas draw blood.

He is not the most aggressive dovi I have seen, but he can get pissed off if you are around his babies.

I currently have him on a diet, trying to slim him down. Some of the other breeders seem to think he will get more aggressive as his weight comes down.

I would like him healthy and aggressive.
