Below is a link to an article I pulled from one of the earliest Buntbarsche Bulletins. Club members are able to access all of the past issues as well as the searchable database by author, subject, title & species. Members also receive a printed copy of what's on line. I wanted to post this as an example. Very interesting article written in the late sixties I believe. In it the authors Gene Gianladis & Richard Olson talk about some very interesting aspects of both species.

I find it intriguing for many reasons. for one they refer to the lack of availability of both these species and the infrequent breeding for that reason. Today LOTS of people own one, more or even both of these fish. It's look back in time as well as a wealth of very specific, hard to find information.

If you are interested in the offer of three NO obligation electronic BB's, follow this link (Three For FREE! ) and fill out the information. I will personally send you the last, current and next BB publication for free. Without a doubt the magazine remains the single best tangible benefit of being a member of the club.

Here's the link to the article. Please feel free to discuss any aspects on this thread.

Enjoy...

Dovi - Manguense: A study in territoriality and color
 
Thanks for the good read.

fc3, I would also like to see a red dovii. I wonder if they mean a red tinted one rather than an obviously red dovii.
 
Here's the only photo I have of a Red Dovii. The fish in the picture is in a specimen jar. From what I know about photography, the color balance is off leaning toward yellow...which will make the fish appear more red. That aside, with the color correction the fish is still remarkably red in color. This photo was given to me by the late Mike Sheridan. I believe it resides at the University of Costa Rica.

Sweet article, thanks Mojo!
 
I really did not feel like reading that much...LOL. Great article....I love reading an article so focused on a certain group/species. I have both currently and appreciate such a good article. Thanks Mojo.
