Dovii is my most favorite parachromis especially now that it finally came out of its shell.

Very cool tank, and beautiful fish!

Thanks.


Thats what I was wondering - how can a footlong mota take over a 16" Male dovii :-) That male dovii is amazing btw.

I wish I could put the Dovii in there too but the Dovii is in a different level/league. My mota might be more aggressive but the Dovii has the bigger and betters tools to kill faster.

very nice collection!

Thanks.
 
Hey Ruck Fules, you say that your dovii is your favorite now that he has come out of his shell. Was he shy and skittish before? At what size did he snap out of it? Did it have anything to do with the addition of the female?

The Dovii was not shy before but became shy when I moved it in a black background tank. It finally got used to the tank a few weeks ago. It snapped out at 16". The female is still shy except when in breeding mode.

oh my god, dream tank and stock list! what an unbelievable display that must be...bravo

Right now I have 6 big tanks running and 3 smaller ones in my garage. I'll be keeping just two tanks in the very near future due to my busy schedule. It would be hard to let go of these fishes but I don't really have a choice.

Ewok, let’s give the “mystery fish” from Costa Rica a little bit more time to grow before I post some pics.

Wait a minute! I thought you were gonna sell that "Mystery Fish" to me? And I need one of your RTM females too!
 
Ewok.... you might want to rephrase your "Signature"..... MOTA's gone baby!
