Sorry, or this one. Want to keep 1 male, and I'm pretty sure this one or the last pic are males. The other 3 I have are very yellow with less spots. However this one is much thicker and larger then the rest. They range in size from 3 - 3.5"

Sorry to have to tell you but those fish look like Jaguar to me.
How did you come by these.

 

[motorhead1980]

Bought them from a trusted LFS. They had both jags and Dovii. Hand pickedthem when they were about 3/4" long. Even at that size you can see the difference between jags and Dovii. The jags were more stripped even at that size.But i do see what you mean. There are a lot of similarities in the two when juveniles

I've kept and bred both jags and Dovii for many years, and I'm 99.% sure you have jags.
Hopefully other people can put there opinion across.

Agree with Andy, there jags,

Totally agree, them are some Jaguars. Both pictures look male to me.

Guess ill be taking these 5 guys back. I know the owner well, so should not be a problem. Disappointing though.

 

[motorhead1980]

Appreciate the help though guys. Thanks
