This is my DOVII. He is now about 3" and he is really starting to color up. From his previous picture he has grown considerably and he is starting to show off his typical Dovii body shape.

that is one great looking dovii! where did you get it?

I live on Long Island, new york. He was in with a bunch of firemouths and he was the smallest in the tank and the LFS didn't even know what he was. Not bad for 5 bucks. The place is TROPICAL SHOWCASE.

Your dovvi is nice, I feel bad for your firemouths in a few months...lol

nice Tony, I got allot of fish in Long Island, Franklin Square. Nice store.
I forgot the name, but you can get many uncommon fish if you stop by often
And Esox, Firemouth is not only fish will be gone soon.
All other tankmates would have to go in some time, when this male Dovii, mature

Awesome Dovii. Really nice looking!

It's a good thing someone who new it was a Dovii bought it. Can you imagine buying this thinking it was some kind of firemouth!!! :-0

Tony Idone » posted 2008/02/19 - 22:58  
Alex the fish store in Franlin SQ is called the pet barn. that's where i got the tank. he gave me a good deal with the stand and glass canopy.The store is actually for sale 179k










Frank Donato » posted 2008/02/19 - 23:03
Lets buy the store ... Massapequa Park here ... close to you - probably 10 minutes. Small business loan anyone? :)
Tony Idone » posted 2008/02/19 - 23:07  
Frank where do you go for all your aquarium needs and fish?
Alex Odesit » posted 2008/02/20 - 00:22  
yep Tony, sure thing, Pet Barn. I use to buy fish there back in 90's when I live at Canarsie, not far from JFK airport.
Too bad they selling this store, another part of past will be gone with it:(
I think store owner at that time was heavy involved in MMA.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/02/20 - 01:21  
Alex where are you now?
Frank Donato » posted 2008/02/20 - 01:47  
I've had good success with mail ordering fish ... Jeff Rapps - tangledupincichlids - is in NJ, and his shipping charges are pretty cheap to NY. For supplies, I either go to Pets Warehouse in Copaigue, or South Shore Tropicals in Lindenhurst. South Shore is cleaner, but Pets Warehouse has more stuff.
Alex Odesit » posted 2008/02/20 - 03:10  
Tony, Bergen County NJ, right across GWB, but work Tarrytown, NY.
I found nice LFS in my area, they actually one of the Jeff Rapps distributors, they have allot of his stuff, as well others, non cichlids species from other breeders. Also wild caught species appears there from time to time. Store call "Absolute Fish", I feel lucky with selection I found there, the problem is SPACE as always:)
Tony Idone » posted 2008/02/20 - 03:52
Iknow what you mean Alex i have a 240 gallon tank and i think it is too small. so many species so little space. i would like to breed festae i believe my smaller one is a female needs to catch up to my male.
Frank Donato » posted 2008/02/20 - 04:12
Soo.... lets buy this LFS .. 90k a peice? Very doable ... we could make pleny of money shipping to people on this site alone ... :)

this wolf will cost more than 5 bucks in the future after killing all your fish
vahid valy » posted 2008/02/22 - 21:15
after 6 inch there is no warrior like that in your tank ;)
fourdell kidson » posted 2008/02/22 - 21:26
WOW nice wolf i was offerd one and was tempted but just no room for this fish.
Tony Idone » posted 2008/02/24 - 03:37  
time will tell vahid. who knows maybe he will surprize all of us. i have had dovii before and never had any catastrophes. you hear so much bad about them and never any good. i will keep you all posted.
