im trying to decide on a pair of cichlids in one tank. what are the general opinions on each species? i dnt mean "i need 500g tank for each one" i mean personality,people interaction,colors,attitude. fish will be bought at 5-6 as male and female and grown out in a 120g. i love the colors on doviis and umbies, just seems umbies dont develope til 8"+...
 
I have both and they're both beautiful specimens. Dovii used to be my favorite but ever since I've had umbees they've become my favorite. They're not shy and always out to greet u. Yes in most cases umbees are late bloomers but when they start to show it's awesome to see and they keep getting better looking as they grow. Dovii usually show adult potential in color around 5-6" and tend to be shy until 10-12" and the ones I've had become somewhat psychotic around that size and especially once they spawn. Mine tried to eat me and jump out of the tank at me during feeding lol whereas my umbees aren't

Its a close one neither species will disappoint in anyway however my vote goes to dovii
