Despite the Dovi being big and strong it has no chance with an Umbee. The Umbee is the 2nd strongest cichlid on the planet despite being only up to 20+ inches, I had Male Umbees kill Male Dovis that were larger over the years several time.. The Managuense Jaguar is tough so is the red festae terror.. But the Umbriferum is the top Cichlid in the Americas and none is more spectacular a showpiece it will annhilate all in a large tank including Dovis and Snakeheads.,. I can vouch for this having had all of them mixed with Umbees over the years..
The strongest cichlid for its size in the world by far is the five spot JEWEL CICHLID FROM AFRICA (hemichromis elongatus) at 5 inches it is the most powerful cichlid there ever was, it is a pocket battlehip and at 5 inches took on my 20 inch + dovis and umbees with no injury to itself, it made my Dovi cowher for cover several times...!!!

I have had 3 dovii's, a 12 " specimen and 2 other fishes both of them about 3 - 4 " long unfortunatley neither of them survived because of human errors.. I feel that they take a some time to accumilitise in an aquarium, but highly aggressive and uncomprimingsley dominating. KEVIN
There is no way your 5 spot made doviis and umbees flee, they are two , if not the 2 most dominating cichlids that you can buy(for their size)
