Hey, all.

It's been a long time since I posted anything. I've lost a few fish and gained a few. Right now my biggest fish is my Dovii. I love the bastard, so I figure I'd show him off.

He is in a 90 gallon at present. Before you jump on me and attack me with "your tank isn't big enough" comments, I am moving soon and he will be getting a much bigger home. When I originally bought the 90 it was for an Amphilophus. When he passed away, the Dovii was maybe 6 inches. He's gotten a bit bigger since then and I know he needs a bigger home. I can't get him one right now, but it'll be the first thing I buy for the new place. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave him in a 90.

He's a bit shy, so when he's out and about, I slowly set the camera up. Once he knows what I'm doing, he likes to stay out in front.

Excuse the dirt in this picture, he was attacking a piece of shrimp:

It looks like my glass could use a bit of a cleaning, too.

In the third picture, you can see the belly of my Trachycorystes trachycorystes.
 
Thanks, man.

I've decided to go with a 180 for a while. I think he'll be happier in a tank double the size he's in now. That should do him for a few inches.
