Lofties Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 So much for Dovii fry. She watched over them for a few days and then seemed to lose interest. As soon as she moved away the black catfish ate the lot. Maybe next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lofties Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Hi Nathan, keep an eye on him-he'll only sook for a couple of days and then go agro. If you put another female in with him just make sure you have some other smaller fish in with them. They'll act as decoy fish-just gives him something else to hammer instead of the female. We just threw in a Jag, a Red Devil, and a Freddie-just for kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryToucher Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Haha, he's only a sook because there is a 28cm Red Texas in there that's boss, I cant see that Changing either when the RT would weigh in double him! It's actually good to see Dovii in a community tank Makes me happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhuelin Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 It wont last mate. Seen the teeth on a dovii? I am yet to see one in a community tank long term mate. The only thing that survives with mine is a biiiiig pleco. Everything else, big or small = lunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
