This Dovii is bitter sweet..

[Mudfrog]

I love how aggressive my Dovii is but he just pretty much killed my female. I heard him slamming around and went over to look and she's laying on her side shredded and bleeding. There is absolutely no chance of her pulling through. It baffles me as they've been doing great together for close to 4 months now. Even spawned once..

thats what happens when the male wants it and their "not in the mood"

sorry for the loss

 

[big dovii]

Sorry about yout fish. I've had this happen a couple times. Male Dovii's are just intolerant of anything.

That sucks .Its like they have a bad day and everything in there tank must die

He's killed 3 females within 24 hours of introducing them prior to this one so I thought this one was going to work. Dunno if I'll try any more any time soon.

Do you have any other fish in there? Pairs of aggressive cichlid seem to have stronger bonds if there are other fish in the tank.

 

[Mudfrog]

Nah, this was the first fish he would allow to live with him for more then a day.
