Dovii and Managuense??

[wtf bluepoles]

Is it possible to keep a Dovii and a Managuense together in a 180gal tank?

Umm... I would say yes if the were both Female

I have them both in my 90g. Little bit of scuffles. Depends on the fish itself. You can check it out in the video lounge.

Are they male or female? I am getting told that there is no way it will work on other forums.

chances are it will end in tears. how big will the tank be? it would be better too get both species in seperate tanks.

180gal.

just get a pair of dovii in there, buy a 120 for a pair of jags.

i cant imagine you will be wanting females of either species alone as they dont really compare to the males in my opinion.

It's possible while they are smaller but things will more than likely go sour sooner than later. Eventually the Dovii will need that 180g to himself.

well you can have em together but when the dovii decides he wants to own the whole tank then its bye bye. But my jag puts up a good fight. just that my dovii has more teeth.

you can keep them together with a divider if you prefer, but you're better off with one or the other, unless you wind up with some that "play nice" with each other
