My Dovii´s

now if those are Jaguars, it is tempting to get a little bigger male Dovii, around 6", but the only tank available for him at the moment is a 4x1x1feet tank that houses Hujetas and a Needlenose "gar". Do you think the Dovii would tolerate those for a few months until he gets a private tank? Thought it might work since they are so different and many fish are more aggressive to similar looking fish...
Or are they aggressive with every fish?

a male dovii may or may not tolerate those species as tankmates. sorry for the undifinitive answer but it's the honest truth that it's really a gamble, because every fishes aggresion tendencies are different. IME you have a better chance on everyone cohabing nicely the smaller the dovii you get, but you never know.
ok thanks, you have all been very helpful 
since some think its dovii and some jaguar i will just wait until they get bigger and i clears out and not get a bigger dovii.
And putting those 5 with the hujetas and needlenose is probably a better option. I think ill try that and see what happens.

yOu may want to give this a month or two becuase I just went through this same issue. I turned up with two females and thought one was a male. I ended up getting a male earlier this week. And he does resemble a few of your little ones and I am pretty sure there the same size. So I would wait and see for yourself.
Another thing you will find out real soon is if those are Dovi (all of them) you better start seperating soon I have not been able to keep any of the same sex together at all. So watch for signs of aggression. I asked here first if they were females but the chunk that was taken out of the smaller one was already a good indication! By the way I seen two of yours that look like my male maybe not as shinny and BLUE but similar! I will post pics later for you of my male it's been kind of hard to get a goos shot of him because he is in a tank with some fish with fry so he is on the run right now.
