Do I have a chance with this dovii?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think a big male festae would go alright I had one in a tank for a while with a dovii and it did fine. How big is ur dovii?
Finding a big male festae is another thing altogether.
 
Yeah that's a decent dovii mate . . . Think it's rip tankmates at that size
 
You could always send a few of those fry this way to get rid of them....
I'll find a nice aqua habi for them...
 
You could take it out of the tank, scare it and put it in a small tank for a while. Then you put it back into your 180 gallons with other big aggressive cichlids at the same time. That will work.
I know this will be cruel for the dovii but it worked for me before.
 
I'd start with a few small cichlids you odnt really care about or some SDs
 
I would guess that you could probably add a Large Male Salvini. I would say you may be best off to add a few cichlids in at the same time. Maybe a couple Large Convicts and Salvini.. I know this are much smaller fish, but I think if you take the male out redecorate the tank and provide cover for the small fish it should work. Worst case convicts and salvini are on the cheaper side.
