Dovii tank mates for 480 gallon tank

[Ryan1783]

Will a dovii be ok with large tank mates in a 480 gallon.
Tanks mates would be
Silver aro
Blue umbee
Shovel nose cat
Clown knife
And wolf fish.

Would the dovii attack any
Dimensions are 8x4x2 foot (LxWxH)

That's list is set up for disaster. While I love the footprint of that tank, the wolf fish is not going to be compatible with much. The umbee and dovii will bite at the other tank mates. I'd say in a tank that size you can put a dovii with other fish if it's not a pair of dovii, but stick with similar large cichlids and maybe some tougher catfish

Depends on the fish, but I would bet money that if the dovii wasn't raised with these fish then it will be a major threat even in that size tank

Ok, thanks for the fast response

I remember one guy on here who had a dovii in a 15k tank and it killed some of his other large cichlids in there. So yeah, you're playing with fire.
