Dovii L0 and L1??

[Ramesh]

I live in Australia and have and have kept Dovii for many years but only have access fish that were brought into Australia years ago (10-15+).
I know in the US you can get Nicaraguan and Costa Rican fish.
Can anyone ID my fish?
The male is 18 inches now and is a fantastic fish.

Wow hes a beauty!
Looks like a Nicaraguan, which are somewhat rare over here
Have you bred him before?, Give me some fry from him!

I haven't yet but he has his eye on my little female the problem is he is very aggressive towards other fish and she needs to gain some size and condition first.
I recently sold my smaller Dovii pair that were really stunning, maybe I should have kept them in hindsight.

Looks like a Nicaraguan Dovii to me. The Costa Rican race has a yellow base color with the greenish color in the fins. Here are a couplke of pics of the F0 Costarican pair I had. You can see the yellow base color witch is even more intense without the flash from the camera.
