Pound for Pound toughest fish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Timpon, I have only ever owned one dovii but it wasn't as badass as their reputation suggests.

You're right about jardinis, that doesn't surprise me, they are killers.

The channa striata that zix is talking about above killed a dovii.

I tried a dovii as a tankmate, the dovii tried to lip lock it and the channa basically ripped it's face off.
 
North American Sunfish. The whole family of them are very aggressive and tough.
 
Channa Vs Jardini ?

Caught both on fishing line, and while the jardini definitely fought harder and longer (both being the same size), I reckon the sh would win, simply b/c of teeth and jaw structure.
 
Take them out of their evnironment and put them in a new tank two both fish and you might find out just who is tougher. Adding fish to your already established tank will tell you nothing when it comes this? Personal opinion.

It seems we all think our fish is the toughest but only judging by what they do in the tank they have been in since we bought them, I place something in my tank all my fish are going to kill it and it will most likely lose as it is dis oriented and does not know the area.. I'll shut up now sorry>>>
 
Caught some on holidays in Vietnam. Can't axactly remember which species-was not all that into them until started reading and viewing clips on here. Joined the dark side? lol
 
Also saw hundreds of sh for sale at the markets over there in tubs with just enough water to keep them wet. Survived all days like this too!!

They actually didn't taste that bad-flesh was very firm. Giant goramy tasted better though.
 
Your Dovii must have been inbred or something . Was it tank raised or wild caught? I can't see a brreding pair being taken by anything let alone any arrowana. I have a wild caught male at 16 inches and he does everything you said the red does. Just the other day I tried to fend him off with a cleaning brush while trying to put back an inlet tube he ripped the brush out of my hand and swallowed the bristle end then spit it back out. I don't see anything taking a 30 inch wild caught Dovii. All the nonsense on here is just that, anybody can make it up as they go along so I don't believe what I don't see. Anyone have videos of a 20 to 30 inch Dovii getting owned? I don't think so. I can make up a story that my Dovii killed a 20 inch red S/H. But can I prove it with a video?
