  • I got lots of messages about keeping dovii with other fish as tank mates. Let’s talk about this a bit while checking out the progress of the pond build. I’ve been wanting a Dovii for years and finally got an adult wolf Cichlid.

    In my personal experience I had a female Wolf Cichlid once and I had her with my other Cichlids that I had at the time and they got along pretty well with my Convict cichlids, Jaguar Cichlids, Black Belt Cichlid, Blood Parrot Cichlid, a few types of Mbuna Cichlid, Jack Dempsey Cichlid and a couple of Oscar Cichlids

    Soo i bought a house and went Down to just 1 tank. I've had my flowerhorn solo in a 75 for 3.5 years, he is beast. Being my favorite fish i was goin to keep him solo. But I ended up not being able to get rid of a flowerhorn I've raised since a fry a tire track eel and a big catfish of some sort. Put them all together and literally no aggression for a month plus. Will see how it ends up.

    Its all about tank size and if you have super big rowdy cichlids to stand up to them.

    The large tank you have them in also helps with aggression. As long as they have their own corners they should be ok for a little bit anyways

      far from beeing the thoughest or largest. If you want Monster size cichlids you need to go Cichla and if you want to go to the Max it will be cichla temesis.
      I had them and had to donate them to a friend after they outgrowed a 500G tank.
      At the other hand i had Dovii in an central community with huge Viejas.
      The key is to add the dovii as the smallest fish to an adult group.
      Anything that gets intoduced later got toastet

    only thing i can find about the dovii is that you need to keep it with other large aggressive predator fish but you need a big tank.

    Well, you have a dovii with tank mates.... for now. I hope you have a back up plan. I promise, you're going to need it. You're slso going to need a much bigger thank than a 210gal. Start at 300gal & then plan to upgrade.

    Just a quick thing. Isn’t a 210 too small for a big male dovii? I’m not an expert but Mel in Aquarium coops video said a 240 wasn’t big enough. Again I have no clue, was just asking the question

    Palmer Aquatics is a trusted source in my house..just wanted to piggy back on what you made very clear to me sometime ago you explained about a mature Dovii going full psycho at some point with attempted community tanks...lol its true...my Dovii is wild-caught ..if you add him to a tank or pond with other big fish...he will study all for a while ...then he will start the testing of other fish....if he is alone ...in his own tank or pond he will either kill or damage the other fish for sport...have no doubt the Dovii will snap and go into kill mode ...size of tank or pond plays a part and the fighting skills of the other fish as well...if the Dovii makes it a clear territory issue...because of food source or maybe another dovii Male or female...you will see it get triggered and ultimately green light a kill...Your Dovii looks alot better bro...he has his power glide swim back and he looks like he's coloring up from what I was able to see...but I will say this bro I pay attention to your wealth of knowledge and your advise on the fish we have in common...through out this hobby..Great vid..stay safe.. can't wait to see him in 210g
