Hey, my lfs ordered a dovii instead of an actual wolf fish for me. It's around 2-3" and they said I can have it for $7.99. Is it worth having? I know they get big, it would go in my 150 gallon. Well they eat pellets or only meat?
 
If I had a 150 sitting around I would get the dovii.Don't think he'll do too well with tankmates in a tank that size though.Don't quote me though I'm just going on what I've read.He might eat bloodworms that small.Good luck!
 
Yea, I think I'm going to get him. I have a spare 55 that I can keep him in till he reach's around 6" then I'll move him over.
 
i might be mistaking but thaught a wolf and a dovii were the same fish:confused:
 
Very cool fish. At 2-3" you probably won't be able to tell the sex though. If it's a male it probably won't accept any tankmates once it hits about 10" or so. If it's female she might be okay with tankmates, but no guarantees. My female can get pretty violent at times.
Either way, they're very cool fish. You shouldn't have a problem getting it on pellets. Mine eat pretty much anything.
 
I say get it, they are great fish, these are my little 1's
