just wondering, what do u guys think of the chance of a large 2 ft armoured titanic panaque? (a pleco) Very bulky and powerful.

Those guys look great!! It's hard to believe that those butti aren't food yet! I must have miss read your last post I thought the butti were 4". That last pic looks like a very colorful male for only 4-5".

What are the thoughts of a bass or pike? or what about a native fish like a walleye, bigmouth bass, or norther seeing as I could catch them at any one of my local lakes or rivers?

If your dovii is docile, a bass may work. Possibly.
Northern pike aren't really aggressive - they would get beat up.
Walleye are suited to colder water and wouldn't last long in tropical temps.

My female Dovii was ok it’s a bit of a different story for males the female actually was so desperate to bread she teamed up with several other Cichlids. But would not recommend this with a large male.

They are not togethe anymore but the dovii had left the aro alone. The dovii is 11.5".

IMO, fish aggression is a fear repsponse. They will instinctively attempt at eliminating intruders or competitors they deem threatful. If the tankmates are small or docile enough (and slow), I believe you'll be able to keep them together--with some luck. Simiarly, I was able to keep 15" Jardini with severums; but should I put in trimac or midas, the Jar would go NUTS.
