Cichlid newbie, my first Dovii´s.
I had read a little about them before i got them.
Well i wasn't gonna get them so small and i only wanted one male that i could grow out and put in a tank all by himself, but a LFS was closing down and i basically got all 6 that were left for almost nothing so i took them hime.
All are under 2"

Im keeping them in a shallow 4feet tank for now with my Amphuima salamander, wanted to see if they could make it and since i will most likely not be keeping all of them it will not matter if the salamander will get some. The salamander only took one and has left the remaining 5 alone for a few days.

Well enough talking, i took some pictures of them.













How long can they tolerate each other? I have read so much about them "wanting" to be all alone.
I want to pick the most beautiful male (or pair if that is possible) and put in a bigger tank. Its not possible to sex them at that small size is it?
 
typical markings for parachromis fry. top one in the 3rd pic, is almost certaintly dovii, so the others are most likely aswell.

definitely doviis

these dovii are very small. why are you so sure that they couldn't be another parachromis. not disagreeing, just wondering why so sure? any give away's?
 
yes looks like jags to me... i have a 2" dovii's but the markings looks like an adult dovii... but let's wait till they reach at 3" maybe the true markings will comeout...
