Figured I would do a progress thread of my Dovii if anyone is interested. I’ll try to get some updated pictures every couple weeks or so. I got him on 12/30/19. He was probably 2” - 3”. He is now probably 5” - 6”, probably closer to 6”. Canine teeth became visible a couple days ago.

He is in a 90 gallon with a JD, Jaguar, RD, pair of convicts, couple giant danios, 3 silver dollars, and a BN pleco. All the cichlids are living pretty peacefully as of now. I got the silver dollars to act as dithers. Jaguar and Dovii both got ahold of 1. Both escaped though and are still alive.

Plan on rehoming fish when it gets to the point when I need to. I will eventually have a single Dovii most likely.

I do plan on getting a larger tank eventually by the way. Most likely a 180.

Coloring up nicely. Should be a beast in the future especially if he's going after feeders like that.
Thanks that’s what I’m hoping for. Trying to keep the water pristine by doing 50% water chances every 3-4 days. On a pellet diet of Sinking Hikari Gold and Omega One Super Color pellets, as well as frozen shrimp a couple days a week.

Surprisingly I got him off EBay. The seller had 2, and as of today looks to still have the other. I received him about 2 months and 3 inches ago. This seller did such an amazing job packing and shipping him. I was very fortunate. He even contacted me weeks later to check on him.

I just hooked up a chiller to keep constant 80d since his palace is in garage and I live on the surface of the sun (Florida)

He’s got the life
