temensis get much bigger than 30", more like 36-40". But I agree, a full grown dovii will be too large to eat for any cichla.danny2875;4505684;4505684 said:
The Dovii is easily the true king of the Cichlids. Nothing could compete with it over territory, their teeth, body shape and overall strength and size make it easily top of the food chain among the Cichlid family. Every book I have read lists it as the top predator with the Umbee being only second. There might be Bass cichlids, Emporer cichlids but nothing seems to ever suggest they are skilled fighters, just eaters of smaller Cichlids but thats easy when they are that size. I would like to see them try and eat a Dovii. It wouldn't happen.
And as for people who don't agree with threads like this...don't look at them and don't post on them. Simple.
Thanks

i'd have to agree, red devils will attack anything that goes into their tank, they literally "bite the hand that feeds." but a dovii could easily overtake a red devil just because of sheer power, although a red devil could probably hold its own against a dovii that is the same size as it, but never against a full grown male
I had a big Midas that kicked the crap out of my flowerhorns. My Dovii didn't want anything to do with him. My Midas had no reverse! He would just keep coming forward and plow through any fish that thought they wanted to challenge him.
But I will have to say the giant pink goramy at 12"+ has got to be up there in mean ass fishes. I seen my friends giant pink goramy kick the crap out of a big red devil.

African Cichlid: T. Buttikoferi(cold blooded killer).
Central American Cichlid: P. Dovii(big ass MOFO)

When it comes to fish fighting,
judge on their body type, mouth size and teeth. Then there's one thing you cant see. It's heart. That's the biggest factor.
But fishes are strange. One fish can be beating up the other fish for 30 minutes but if the loosing fish got more heart, the bettter fighter fish may just run away..
But I think it's been proven by dominating ratio that the DOVII is the hardest cichlid. Pound for pound The umbee's body is fatter in proportion and wont last with the quicker dovii unless it's got more heart than the dovii. But I doubt it..
