Any dovii owners here and if so let me know what your opinion is about this fish. Moved my tanks recently and was able to retain about 50% of the water in them. Gave my fish to my son and now I have a 2" dovii, 2" peacock bass in my 125g. Put two firemouths and two salvini's in my 60g.

I have 3 dovii, one solitary male and a beeding pair. If the dovii is a male both him and the bass will far outgrow that 125. Peacock bass get large but are not very aggressive so they will have to seperated before the dovii matures. I have pics of my breeding pair up on my site. The link is at the bottom

IMO, I wouldn't mix Dovii w/Peacock bass. Dovii is on a different plane of aggression & have a pretty strong jaws. Peacock bass have relatively fragile jaws.

Just voted for you. I just picked up a 10 inch jag that looks like yours for $30. I could not believe it when I saw it at the LFS. Someone actually just gave it the store that day. Someones trash is defintely my treasure. I wish I could post pics and share. It's got a great color pattern. Purple and greenish tint in its fins.

Sorry to impose on your post TTman. Just got a little excited.

Glad you liked the site NYQYL. At 10 inches it's most likely a male. Most of the time I find that people do not really know how aggressive or large a mature guapote can be and end up having to dump them off when they kill everything in the aquaruim. Sound like you got a deal NYQYL. Male jags make great display fish.

take out those firemouths!!! Salvinis are essentially guapotes, and share all the typical behavioral traits (it would seem taht large males take aggression to teh extreme, if they were big like dovii or mangs, I'm sure they'd be just as nasty). THe firemouths don't stand a chance.
