I have heard of people keeping full grown male dovis with wolf fish, RTC, and others, but has anyone else on here kept a full grown male dovi succesfully with other fish????
 
HI! I had one for years, I tried lots of fish with mine. A giant Gourami lasted the longest, (about 3 days) I had to seperate them because of damage to the gourami...

Maybe more big fish would have been key, as to distribute agressions.

Also, I only had a 75 gallon tank for them both. it was just too small anyways, and bad fishkeeping on my part.


I think if you buy one small enough and raise it with various other rough fish the Dovii could learn to respect territories and coexist?? maybe?

I saw a pic somewhere where they had one with giant catfish.

Good luck! I hope you get a better and more informative reply than my ramblings. lol!
 
haha thx for the reply, yeh like i had said, i have read of people keeping retail catfish with them, that the asian red tail cat fish did the best,
