Roommates - male dovii and male jaguar cichlid

This video was uploaded from an Android phone. These guys actually lived together about 2 years ago, in my 125G, along with several other cichlids. It worked out great because my Jag is pretty peaceful and kept the dovii in check. When the Jag was removed, the dovii would terrorize all the other fish in the tank, literally killing a few. I recently reunited them in my 120G and they still get along. FYI, this is not the same dovii from the video where he faces off with the large male Jag. That dovii is currently in my 125G with his female companion.

looking good man, when does male jags start developing their spots from stripes?

[kenlperry]

@28rampage Thanks! It varies. I've had small males who got that nice spotted look at around 3 inches. But usually I see it around 6 or 7 inches.

Beautiful fish. The color on the jaguar is amazing.

Do they get along well? They're not the nicest fish, that's for sure!

Nice sized tank I'm surprised they're not bigger
