They show funny signs of spawning, and there eye colouration has changed, as an indicator of breeding activity however in a busy tank im sure that disturbs them.

Soon to be moved on though, unfortuneatley.

Love Americans I find them very interesting and watching their colours get better as they grow bigger. I have had all these fish since they have been about 5cm and they are between 10-15cm now but the marble vieja is almost cracking 25cm. Can't wait to pay off the rest of my car loan (very soon!) so I can finally get back on track with fish things, looking to get a few more bigger tanks in the next few months to house these bad boys when they get bigger and start growing up some new American fry

[Bowdy]

Dovii looks evil......!

Love it.

 

Alexs snooks make me want more.

[SamJohns]

They are evil Jules. Nothing can go with them. They killed my three Snooks. Males were around 40cm to.

[Peckoltia]

Dovii has grown heaps since I was at your place Sam, looking good. Nice blues coming through.

 

Great fish dovii.
