Is this a Dovii or something??

[Mikeeyy]

Hey guys, at my lfs i found this guy mixed in with a couple of africans, the place knows there stuff but were actually given this guy with a bunch of random cichlids and weren't to sure what it was its still around 2inch and was going for $15 and i was thinking about picking him up, ive never had a dovii before and was wondering if this little fella looked nice and if it was worth the price..i quite like it, but sort of wanted an oppinion from the experts i guess.
So I was just wondering what you guys thought.
Sorry about the quality, i just had to snap a couple of random shots with my phone so its pretty blurry.

Lol to be honest me neither. i was just guessing it was a dovii from what i've seen here.

Thanks heaps, do you think its worth it if i get it ?? Ive never had one, but have been really interested in them lately and it was pure coincidence that i happen to see one just today cause in my area they arnt common, its sort of rare. And how can you tell its a female at such a young age?

you see my avatar bro I know my dovii but you can tell by speckling on the gill plates as well as throughout the body. Males have a very distinct look compared to the females


here is a link for reference M on top F on bottom pic.... just do a google search for Dovii pics and you will clearly see the difference. That is one think I love about Dovii is the ability to sex at a very young and small size

I would buy it if you got the space. See if they'll lower the price since they don't know what it is. Are Dovii common in Australia?

Thanks heaps Lopaka, you full got me interested, i think i might go for it. They seem like awesome fish, i have a Jag that i love to bits, are they anything like Jaguar cichlids?

Yeah i was thinking about that to, like getting them to lower the price.. i've sort of got a pretty good relationship with the shop owner and hopefully he brings it down even just a little, And within the next week or two im hopefully getting a new 6fter so the whole coincidence has sort of added. And i'm not sure about the other Aussie members here, really depends on where you are i guess, but for me dovii arn't common, maybe the second one ive seen, and the last one wasn't a juvii like this one.

I asked this once before, I will just ask again... Why is this in the hybrids section? Mods?
