Other than at two inch I hardly ever see them in any stores near me in kent, By lists I assume you mean ordering them from somewhere/one? In my book if you can't go to a local fish shop and get one its rare!-) Hardly ever come up for sale at a decent size and I do an almost weekly round of the good fish shops in about an hour of me! Thanks , they seem to have paired up, been in there a fourtnight. Was colourless in the community in the store to the point where they thought he was a female, shaping up nicely!
 
when i say lists i mean from my suppliers for the shop I work at but I see them down here 6+ inches regularly enough.
 
Must be jus here in kent then, good job!
 
In any case a nice dovi is a good find and congratulations are in order. Let us see him again when he gets some size on him.
 
Thanks, will be updating regularly. Need them to stay still long enough and in the right light to do their blues justice lol!
 
Here's a few more pics. Really happy with this fish, he's knocked my 8inch buttikoferi sideways earlier, the butti can be a bully too! Dovii is about 6inch!!Maidstone-20121111-00508.jpgMaidstone-20121111-00520.jpgMaidstone-20121111-00523.jpgMaidstone-20121111-00524.jpg their new tank is arriving in two weeks, 7ft long 2ft high and 3ft front to back, hopefully these can live in harmony for a while yet!-)
