Hello
Can i have a pair of Tilapia buttikoferi and a big pair of parachromis dovii in a 600 gallons tank?
I know a guy who is going to sell his T. Buttikoferi.. and i know another guy who has a big dovii pair (Male 50 cm and female 30 cm)

Paw:)
 
i dont think so
once they see each other, its over!
 
IMO its a disaster waiting to happen.
 
well, i dont want to make a divider...
But the T. Buttikoferi, is only 15-17cm at the moment and i have a grow out tank to them if they have to grow more before i put them together with the P. Dovii.. Would that help?
 
divide a 600gal? lets all say that together 5 times fast.

depending on how big u start them together, it may work. i have a butti in my comm, and my friend has a dovii in his comm.

there's house of Sam with butti's/dovii's mixed but its 10k gallons obviously. and of course it would work in there. but 600gal is a lot, and 8ft x 4ft is huge. its plenty of space jus make plenty of areas for them to man up on.
 
I think i go give it a try.. i realy hope that it would work!
I also have 3 Vieja Argentea they are 15 cm. at the moment and they are growing out.. do you think that i could put them in the 600 when they are 20 cm+ ? Vieja Argentea i my favorite fish.. so if i could keep them, that would be amazing.. but if you dont think i can i have to give them to the fish shop, because they are impossible to sell in Denmark.. but before i give them to the fish shop i try to sell them but im almoste 100 % Sure that i can't..
 
ok dude theres 2 ways this will go

1. they will be the best of friends and just keep to there territorys

2. they will hate eachother and there will be 2 fish in ur tank maybe 1 and thats a huge dovii he will be the man if the tank and keep everyone in line and or kill them all. u really never know till u try it out but i would make a divider or keep the dovii pair.

That size dovii is kinda big and extreamly strong. like i said before it will work out great or the will be a all out war. u just never really know wats going to happen.
