New Rapp's Dovii

[twhittle]

So as some of you know my big 20 inch dovii died. You will see some shots below. I ordered this f1 11 inch male from Rapps and got him yesterday. He is sharing a 75 with a tex/con hybrid (which he doesn't seem to mind) until I make sure my 210 is ready for him. Anyhow, I think he will be really nice. I hope he gets as big as my other guy.

I don't know what happened to the other one. It must have been the stress of the move or something. I never got him eating and he acted like he was getting ammonia poisoning. I tested the water and it was perfect. Maybe he was just really old?

Sux about you're old guy... I hate that. But the new one looks like it has some great colors coming in already! Was he expensive? You don't need to tell me the cost just never thought of buying a wild caught...

Sorry bout the big guy.


Grats on the new pickup.

Doviis seem to be the fish for the new year

You just have to be patient with them. Their personality and size later is what makes them unique.

Sucks about the beast but the new one will eventually hit that size. Keep us updated!
