Been looking for one for about a year now and my buddy found one and dropped it off. Last one left at the store. :) $6.00 isn't bad for a 2''

the things nuts just put him in and hes chasing a rt twice his size. Never had a cichlid this small this agg. Will he/she be blue then?
 
I got three different tanks :) Hes in a 30g then going to a 55g at 4inches, then 125g at 8'', then if its a male i will need a bigger tank and should have a 265 by winter.
 
It's a female, even a female will need larger then a 125 in the long run. They color up more and more as they grow.....generally I would say they color up around 4 inches or so. A female will not color up as much but still look good. A female will have more blue linage in the fins and face as apposed to solid blue you will see in males. There is no spotting on this Dovii......could be a stressed male at that size but from this pic I am certain it's a female.
 
ya i know female need bigger then 125g but it can be in that alittle longer. ty for all the advice. Hope she turns out good i always wanted one.
