question for those of you that are experienced with Dovii's. My big tank is currently a 150 gallon predatory tank with my 4 Lima Shovelnose in it along with a few other fish to fill in the space. I have tried and tried over the past year to get fish to add to my tank however anything below 6" or so gets eaten almost instantly my the limas. So i finally decided to just by some babies (trying jaguars atm) untill they are big enough to add. My question is, what do you think would be better company for the Limas (they dont care about anything they cant eat) and wouldnt harass them, the Jags or some Dovii. I am just wondering because I just recently started on the Jags so I figure now would be the time to restart if the Dovii would work any better. Thanks for you help.

definately don't go with dovii, they are far to aggressive for lima's....The only catfish IMO that can be housed with dovii is RTC. Plus your 150 would be big enough for 1 male dovii and thats it. If you enjoy your limas just keep them in there......
I am not bashing dovii just once more stating that all the one I kept have also not been able to hold their own for long periods of time. yes they will defend themselves but never have any parachromis I've kept killed a fish that stood its' ground regularly only fish that fled. I would like to keep dovii again. I do like the size they get. all fish have a place so dovii will one day be kept by me just have to find the right tankmates that they can live with.
Awesome tail/dorsal/anal fin. And the green mask.
Jags look like they're smiling and doviis look like they're grinning.
