lol the only thing they've got going for them compared to the other parachromis is that they tend to stay smaller and be less agro but thats usually what most of the parachromis guys are into. I wouldn't mind owning one for the right price but it would probably have to be a impulse buy.
I find the Dovii a very intelligent fish but not as personable as the Managuense.I love the patterns on both but the way the colors change on the Dovii as it moves around the tank under different shades of light is absolutely awesome. In a league of there own as far as colors go but that is my biased opinion
.
Managuense win hands down when it comes to personality and owner responsiveness. As an adult, there beauty just gets better and better IMO. As already stated, the fact that they can often make good tank mates is a plus. I have found them to be more territorial than aggressive although they can usually back up there bark when needed. For me the Managuense just edges out the Dovii.
IMO the Dovii will be in the minority as far as favorites go. I find most people don't like solo tanks with larger fish as they often see it as a waste of tank space knowing they can fill it with a bunch of other smaller semi-aggressive fish. IMO, some fish are worth it

Mota for sure! i love the colors and patterns on them. they're beautiful fish. when i set up my 125g i will do my damnedest to find one!
i keep a pair of managuense and they are really personable fish
the pattern they get and the owner responsive they get is awesome and those 2 canine like teeth jutting out is just like icing on the top
the green and blue hues are also awesome
but as i have never kept any other parachromis species due to their unavailability here
my opinion doesn't count i guess
though i would like to get a dovii like balton777's that has some real nice blue hues and pattern i have seen on a fish
