I picked up this 16 inch male last month. I didn't realize how sharp their teeth were.

The teeth are probably why the Dovii is called Wolf fish lol.
if you pulled his lips down you would be shocked at how big those teether really are,your only seeing the tips of them in that pic
Most predatory cichlids are equip with impressive canines
Parachromis motaguensus above, nandopsis haitiensus below
The African Lepidiolamprologus elongatus above, the Madagascan, Paretroplus maculatus below
The Paretroplus below uses those for extracting escargot from the shell

I even see teeth on my 2.5 inch convict!
Great dovii! They don’t call them wolf cichlids for nothing.

They are getting ready to breed too.
Lol hope your ready to go out and buy some chainmail gloves or a big net for time outs while cleaning. If my 10in FH would draw blood on me everytime I dealt with his tank I could only imagine what a 20in+ Dovii could do. Lol and from all the vids I've seen on these guys is that they are all total psychopaths.
