GOODBYE DOVII - YOU WILL BE MISSED...

[CubanB]

Well i've been contemplating doing this for a while now and i finally bit the bullet and did it. sold my 30cm dovii

the reason for this is because i always wanted to grow one up from fry but they were so hard to get at the time that when i saw him i had to buy him. he was 28cm

everyone knows its better to grow a cichlid up yourself - especially a DOVII

so here are a few last pics of him... and my new dovii. it's the little guy on the left.

cheers

Aw man.. should have kept him.. He has great coloration compared to others.. excellent purples.

But I know what you mean. It is fun to grow them from juvi's..

A little patience and you'll fall in love with the new guy as you see his personality traits develope with age

for sure. thats what i love about cichlids. my big dovii and i just didn't have the same bond. he got brought into the lfs because he had killed his lifelong female. then he went straight into 2 different tanks all within 3 months.
he is being sold to a mate who is gonna try breed him

Join the little dovii grow out club, lol. No offense but I didn't really find that old dovii appealing, just didn't look "clean" to me. Gl with the new guy though, make a grow out photo diary? How big is the small one btw?
