Been almost everywhere, asked almost everyone...

Has anybody seen P. Dovii (Wolf Cichlid) available recently? Or is it just me?

[sajica]

I haven't seen dovii for yonks, with that said I know a guy that has a breeding pair. He was asking me for tips on breeding them but I'm not to sure that happend.


If I see him I'll post back up here.

There is a bloke who regularly visits these forums who breeds them... i dont know how succesful it has been.... but yeh i wont mention his name incase he doesnt wish for people to know but if he reads this i am sure he will get in contact as he may have some fry.

[TWiST]

took meand one of my mates over 2 years to find them we got them from midland but here was only a couple there and that was round 6 months ago mines bout 20 cm ishnow

[Shankd]

nice... last bad boy I want to finish off my tank

[Blakey]

mmm i would almost consider selling my mangrove jack for a breeding pair of dovii... maybe...

[TWiST]

id love to get a mangrove eventually ivenever seen them for sale tho or had a shop that could get them at the time i was askin

[Blakey]

yep i have contacted many places... even in the eastern states i havnt seen many. Thats why i love mine oh so much... actually i might do some photos of him .. but i will wait till i get my new light globes and do a water change so there is less tanins.

[TWiST]

ive seen him when he was smaller but it would be good to see him no he is bigger

[Blakey]

he is pretty big now probably about 22cm.. i would say his growth will slow down a bit now and the fussy bugger has decided he doesnt like whitebait anymore. Need to get some prawns and try that... he loves his livies but... comets

yeh, i currently have a mixed african/american tank... im going to sell off my africans, and make it primarily for the americans, ie jags, red dev's, and my homocidal oscar

[TWiST]

lol homicidal oscar wait till you do get a dovii then then you'll see a homicidal fish the most a fish will last with mine is round bout 5 mins (if he is just playingwith it) and ti doesnt matter what size fish i put in either it will be nailed

I seen a Dovii male around the 32cm mark sold in a LFS for around $250, about 6 months ago. Pefect specimen too. When it was put for sale by one of the employes of the shop's personal stock, i didnt think it was going to sell! Small shop, more pet shop than fish shop (mind you good stuff at times). But it sold within a week.

my oscar was first fish i ever got... had him since he was like 3-4cm hehe... so if worst comes to worst, he can go back into his 4x18x18

Assuming you are talking about me lol, thanks for being discrete Blakey. Well just to let everyone know I don't have any fry atm. When or if I do I'll let people know.

The male is being quite abusive towards the female and nearly killed her at one point so I've put up a barrier with a big enough gap for her to cross over but not the male although he quite regularly manages to knock it down the bastard. Amazing predators really I swear their sculls are thicker than ours they way he smashes things and doesn't get phased.

[Blakey]

yes Bigz i was refferring to you... prepare to have your pm box FLOODED ahahahaha. I really hope you get them breeding it would be fantastic to see them back around in numbers again!

[TWiST]

ive just been officially informed that my dovii is a female i wasnt sure for a while coz i didnt know what size they coloured up mines colouring really nicely for a female tho but i still want a male for her to breed with i was a little dissapointed at first but she is still really aggressive so i can deal with it

so whos got a male for me? lol
