Update
The "red" pair bred on the weekend of March 28-29 but had to move out before the 31st so I destroyed the eggs.
Not lost of tanks or fishes this move, still no net at new place yet so will post updates of my fishes soon.

they all are costa rican dovii. thick, elongated and yellow as hell. the females in the pics of the "red" and "normal" are both costa rican. if they are mixed with mota (i dont think they are) they will not get as big as other dovii. they are All costa rican dovii and the "red" will get darker as they grow and end up a dark redish brown color.

here is mine at 7.5" you cant really see the color of the dots because i took this pic with my phone but they are reddish brown.
Nice fish young_rico. My 6" Dovii actually looks just like the ones in the original posters pictures. I thought he was a male initially. Then I posted video and many members told me he was a female. After having him for several weeks, and observing his color changes and his behavior with female fish, I'm certain he's a male. Anyway, he has the red spots right now and I was wondering why. When I purchased him he was the largest of about 5 at the fish store and they all looked like this. They told me they were wild caught. I'm leaning towards agreeing with the folks who said they were the Costa Rican variant.
