DOVII vs UMBEE - the ultimate battle!!!

[demjor19]

Looks like my old Dovii....except small.
God I love Dovii's haha.
My little male just spawned with my big female.
Nice Bengal cat, its awesome.

Thanks man! Our Dovii is absolutely fearless and i really would not expect any fish (pound for pound) to hang with him. He nearly killed our female jag (which is twice his size) in one night. Thankfully i was there to separate them before any permanant damage was done. I just accept the fact that no fish will ever be able to live with him.

Thanks for the comment on our bengal too! They are an awesome cat breed!

Still think a Umbee would take it.

I have never owned an Umbee, but I have a 9' female Dovii that will try to attack anything that moves. I have a video of her on YOU TUBE trying to attack my 4 year old daughter through the glass. I also have a 3' male Dovii that is serving time in maximum security for the murder of a 3' Channel Cat, and the attempted murder of a 5' TSN Catfish (could be gang related). But still the most aggressive Cichlid that I have ever owned by far was a 9' male Istlantum. He was a fire breathing beast.

Mmmmm any pics of this 3ft male dovii and the 9ft female dovii? LOL are those sizes supposed to be in inches?

I hope so haha, or those are some hopped up fish on roids.

I don't think anything could take down a 9 foot Dovii lol

Agree to disagree.

I'm not speaking for the Dovii as a species i am talking about my individual Dovii. He's a whopping 8" now and getting more aggressive all the time. It's impossible to say an Umbee is more aggressive than a Dovii, because there will always be exceptions to these statements. Remember...all fish are different.

i completely agree. however i started this thread mainly to get info from peoples experiences from owning both these amazing fish in solo tanks. i think everyone would agree that they are as brilliant as each other in their own ways.

I raised a male dovii up to 18" before I sold him and he would not tolerate anything in his tank except a female dovii and she only survived because she had a hiding spot that he could not get into because of his size.

Ive kept dovi and they were skittish, never kept umbee.

every fish is different so we can debate this until the cichlids come home.



But since i have an umbee in a 180 i like them better Thats him in my av
