Hey all, as some of you would know I have recently purchased some baby dovii! They're are extremely tiny about 1-1.5 inches and very skittish. Sorry for the terrible video, I couldn't take photos as they are always hiding while I'm next to the tank (yes they are that skittish!) and my camera is cooked rn. There is already some dominance being displayed by a couple of them and especially one who is a lot bigger than the others and the current 'king'! They are taking hikari gold pellets crushed up currently and are eating extremely well, I also have chucked in a few baby guppies which have been demolished lol. I picked them up last Tuesday so. They've been in the tank only for a few days. Hoping to see some growth on these guys and will post updates regularly! They're currently growing out in an4x2x2 120gal until the 8x2.5x2 (300gal?) finishes its cycle. (Wifi is very slow will upload video soon)
Cheers, Tom

From my experience it's the stumpy chunky ones that are males and the streamline ones females at that size, quite the opposite to jags.
Once 4-5 inch males will clearly have dots in their un-paired fins.
Great start pal, nice and small!-)

Ok ok, cheers I'll take that into consideration :)
 
Update time!! All is well, they have established some dominance with a clear dominant 'male'. Apart from a few ripped fins they're all doing fine! Pics: first pic is of dominant (supposedly) male, I think I'll call him Big daddy or The G.O.A.T ;). Second pic is of nicely patterned 'female' (because it's the runt and of its patterns). The rest of the pics are of...the rest really :). I think I'll call them the furious 5 lol. Enjoy :)
