TRUE MONSTER DOVII

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They look even better in person!
From what I understand, the dovii in that tank were dumped by someone and reproduced on their own. So that's how pet store dovii can turn out if allowed to inbreed for years... and given 25,000g of fish tank.

Thats true, I believe some one also did that with some midas a couple years ago.
 
Just goes to show how inbreeding ain't a bad thing

That's stretching it. My last visit at the zoo some specimens were already developing mouth deformities as well as crooked spines. The large males are very well over 8-10 years. I'd assume the oldest specimen being 15 years.

Take a look at this female that I captured with my camera. Definitely not high quality, she was the largest female dovii too (9-10 inches).

Ya that's why I think this variety of dovii are ugly.

What variety all dovii get like this when they are truly full grown and maxed out. The ones that dont look like this are generaly younger dovii or dont have prime feeding grounds, this is what fully adult male dovii look like.

I go there 3-4 times a year and i havent seen these deformed dovii you speak of, and the female you posted is most likely really old there are females in that tank that look much better than that.

+1 this is not a variety, those are bull dovii when given necessary room to grow

No. These dovii tend to be the chunky type, which I dislike. I know most dovii are like this lol.
But there are types that tend to be long... much smaller head hump.
