He's looking good Tony!

Thnx John.

Awesome. Love your tank and fish. He looks tough.

Frank he actually gets picked on by alot of my fish. But he and the female festae just don't like each other. he actually doesn't back down he just changes his stance and puts his head up, i don't know if that is confidence or just him.

he'll be quite the monster

Nice Tony..

Tony, when you said above "But he and the female festae just don't like each other. he actually doesn't back down he just changes his stance and puts his head up, i don't know if that is confidence or just him. "
*It's mean that he is not ready to fight yet, but also not terrifying by her and not ran his azz off.
Give him some time, he'll eat Festae female for lunch:)

he'll eat all of them for lunch when hes adult ,he could possibly reach 30 inches,if your tank is big enough ,behold the future king.

thanks Alex

thanks Alex

Yes, like some of us mention before, no Cichlid would co-exist with fully grown adult Dovii male, it's been prove many many times.
Dovii is just too big and powerful to co-exist with any one else in home aquarium.
Even in the big tank like yours brother, sorry...
But you have a solution, another tank!

Yes another tank. i have been thinking about that. anyone have a 180 for sale?

Alex i think i am going to take out the plants.

nice looking fish. where can i get one?
