My male dovii and jag are roughly the same size at around 12/13". I also have a festae and mida in the tank both around 9". The dovii is definitely the tank boss, but when the tank lights are off during the day the Jag doesn't take any crap and usually puts it over the dovii by flaring up and charging at the dovii forcing it away by getting up in it's face. However, as soon as i put the tank lights on it's complete opposite, and the Jag goes straight on the back foot and looks to be really scared of the dovii.

Why is one more dominant when the lights are on or off?
