Nice.....

He's amazing

Thanks!

Try more hiding spots so the fish get out of eachothers eyesight! Also 70-75° will help w/ proper diet of course! If its to bad eiher get a bigger tank or use a divider!

I have two more pots I'm going to put in there.

Very nice size. Reminds me of the Dovii males I saw in Chattanooga aquarium a few years ago.
He makes the tank look small.
How much time did it take for him to reach the size?

The tank is way too small, i bought him a 300 gal with the assumption we would move into our new house by now. :-(

Wow he's a beast and looks great!

Thanks!

it probably has a lot to do with being a big fish from a big pond and being stuck in a small tank but then again he is a dovii and i wouldnt expect anything less from a monster male. when is he getting the 300?

My fiance suggested we put aside house hunting until after the wedding (June 9th). Hopefully we will go full speed on house hunting after the honeymoon.

That guy is a beast, a stunning one at that! Maybe a bigger tank?

Thanks! Agreed... tank is here, just pending permanent home.

What did you expect......time to get a monster tank.

It's sitting in my living room ;-)

That is one awesome dovii!!! He is amazing all by himself. Maybe sell the female??? He will get more aggressive once, or if they spawn..... Try turning the temp down to mid 70's to help with aggression.

I hoping to breed him just once, then sell or give away the female. Wouldn't lowing the temp potentially slow down their growth rate too?

I agree with this ^ I keep my dovii tank between 74-76 degrees. Anything pushing 80 and my male is on a killing streak. Lowering the temp will help curb some agression but it won't change his species. He is being exactly what he is, a dovii male.

Yeah, my tank is usually at 77 degrees.

I like him, and he looks fun. If he was reely bad, the female would be dead ;-) consider yourself lucky.

Well he's not gonna be growing very fast now that he's fully matured. And the lower temp would put him closer to normal growth rate. The warmer temps will boost his metabolism which aides in faster growth but isn't necessarily healthy long term. You'll be just fine with the lower temps.
