How Long Does It Take A Dovii To Reach Full Size?

[Aquarium_Fish]

... if the Parachromis dovii is about 4 inches right now (both male & female)

How long until they reach 12 inches? ... roughly speaking.

What did yours do?

They grow quick, but I'm not sure how long... what size is the tank?

i'd guess another 8-10 months for the male. the female will take allot longer

my female in at 6inches and she is over a year old. the male is 4in and he is maybe 5-6 months. dont really know cause i bought him around 2-3 inches.

Males should grow about 1" a month til 12" then slow down so it'll take a few years to get to 18-19"

the one I just got is 90 gal

so they should be fairly comfortable for a couple years (in the 90 ) - you agree?

 

[Davey_8313]

Probably not....

 

[at2]

do you have just one in a 90?
i thought the same thing about keeping them in a 75 for awhile. but if you see my other threads....i am having to get rid of them cause of aggression even at a smalll size.

I may reduce some of my other live stock so I can move the wolf cichlids into the 210 and put the others into the 90 ...

anyone what any Snooks? ... it may come down to that ....

or maybe the ...

• rope fish
• Senegal Bichir
• black ghost knife
• green tiger barbs
• the eels & green spotted puffers

most likely ,,, the Red Bay Snooks first off ...

Senegal Bichir

If you have to get rid of this, let me know,
But I hope you don't, I guess...
