Love the dovii cichlid Amazing looking beast ! great video brotha thanks for sharing !

The dovie- Guapote is a beautiful top of the food chain in lakes and river in Central America . Beautiful colors

Great video mate and what a stunning fish.👌

Hey Paul thanks for the look at the dovii you know it's one of my favorite fish, I actually have one ,I think you've seen it in videos it's about 20 inches and absolutely beautiful it's definitely on my top of the list and I've always wanted one and I finally got one about two years ago

Wow that is a big aquarium that you will need. 30 years wow.. that's a commitment. It's a beauty!!! I knew next to nothing about this species. Hi Paul. Hope you are well..

He’s a big boy for sure, great video mate.

what a big and handsome devil he is sir.....and he has a lovely purple hue to him!

awesome fish, thanks for sharing, only 2 weeks to the auction, look forward to see you again mate

I live in wigan, so go to Maidenhead quite regular with my daughter and we always sit crouching watching the dovvi loki for ages, great fish

The young dovii murder each other until 1 survived

I gave this video a thumbs up, you are 100% the guy to goto on anything larger than a guppy (female) :)

GuapoteMel used to have a successful community of Umbee and A.Rivulatus in a massive tank but he wasn't confident enough when he added dovii in another community tank of umbees, red devil etc. But Andy Woods once said RTM are the most aggressive towards other fish, I think he's talking about fish aggression, as in dog to dog aggression. So, in general it seems parachromis (RTM or dovii) might be the most aggressive American cichlids

Hi Paul, Random question, the light on your tank at the start of the video behind u, could you tell me which it is please? Thank you 😅

Cracking specimen I love their faces

I can just see you standing in front of that tank drooling Paul.

So, if you could, would you buy one already large like that one? Or would you prefer to start it from a baby? Thanks, have a blessed day!

#MASSIVE 😮 #STUNNING 🤯

Beautiful dovii. I agree 7 foot and approximately 240 gallon for minimum. Dovii is by far the most aggressive american cichlid I've owned and I've had almost all of them lol. For size the most aggressive cichlid I've ever experienced was Hemichromis fasciatus. There is a youtuber that has a hybrid one and it is brutally crazy.

Andy woods dovi is a monster. I love this video. I want one someday. I want them all lmao

Wow , that dovii is an absolute monster , stunning stunning fish , I’d love to keep a pair but I just can’t get a tank big enough for them, my house ain’t big enough , that’s why I keep a jag and rtm,s because they are smaller , as for the most aggressive fish , I’ve found that each fish has different personalities , I’ve had a jag in the past that was evil but the one I have now is a real softy , it’s pretty timid and gets along great with the Red Devil it shares its tank with, there’s never any aggression between them. The most aggressive fish i have kept before what probably be the red terror or festae. Beautiful fish but very aggressive towards its tank mates. I’ve had three of them 2 females and a male and they were all aggressive , I’ve never had much luck with them though, they all died after about 3 years, just got sick and stopped eating , I really don’t understand why , I always do weekly water changes and try to give them a variety of different foods , it’s a strange one mate. I might have another go at keeping a pair in the future but for now I’m just enjoying my rtm pair, really beautiful fish. 👍👌

That Honduran red point I got last week turned out to be a normal convict and I think that's the most aggressive cichlid haha. The 1st day he was peaceful, by the 2nd day he was ragging around the Monte even though he was a quarter of the size and also trying it on with the severum. Long story short, I took a hit on my money and he took a hit on the head and the tank is peaceful once more!

Nice thumbnail

I have a red dovii,absolute nightmare bashing the lid of the tank all night,good luck.

I’ve had Dovii and Umbee and I’d have to give the most aggressive American Cichlid to the Dovii…

Umbees are by far more aggressive. The difference being that Umbee are open water predators and as such are just pure dominators of their space. Dovii being ambush predators are sneaky & stealth hunters, lurking like a leopard waiting to strike. Umbees are Silverback gorillas going at anything in their space whose mere existence disrespects them.

Most aggressive fish i've owned is by far the parachromis ( i had a RTM pair ) and actually salviniis are small psychos aswell mine was small like 10-12 cm ( 4-5 inches ) and pushed my oscars that where 25 cm without any problem , i truly belive that the smarter a fish is the more aggressive they tend to be , salviniis i remember very clearly being BY FAR the smartest fish i've ever had just simply from trying to catch them i've once spent LITERALLY 1.5 hours catching 2 of em meanwhile the other 10 fish in the tank took maybe 10-15 min ( i was to lazy / dumb to drain all the water to be fair but ye.. )

The American cichlids are amazing, I'm growing on 6 dovii and 6 Cubans at the moment looking for a female umbee to go with my 20" male . Shame Andy has called it quits was talking to him on the phone.

I have one about 6 inches long and a 75 gallon tank.. he is starting to get really aggressive with the smaller fish

I've recently picked up a dovii myself tough only a male im really really tempted to get a female but i wont , i had the rtm pair and when they chase eachother the entire house is shaking i cant have taht with doviis they are way to big im planning to keep a male ONLY in my 190g ( 200 x60 x 60 cm )

I’m getting a red morph here soon I’m excited

Dovii apex predators, they are aggressive but size is definitely on they’re side! Stunning monsters for sure. I had a buttikofferi years ago… I didn’t find it any more aggressive than my red devil male from a pair that I had, I can see a dovii in your future paul 🙂👍🏻

In my opinion the most aggressive fish ITW is the haitiensis Aka the Black Nasty. My dream favourite fish I would do anything to keep one. My friend has one that will annihilate anything. They are the most aggressive fish in my opinion

Dovii or umbee for you Paul ?

yeah, I'd say they are probably the most aggressive new world cichlids. I say "probably", because I haven't kept an umbee, and they could potentially top it. But these guys pale in comparison to Hemichromis species such as elongatus or fasciatus aka the 5 Star Generals. But you DID exclude African cichlids...

Pikes and tucunares are more aggressive

I just saved a bucket of eggs from my pair 🎉🎉 Mine are in a 9x4

I personally think a Grammodes or a neet as the most aggressive.

Must have been a surrender you think? Super super impressive fish but don't see them ordering it in hey. Yeah aggressive as. I'll never keep one. I'd be forever worried it'll smash the glass open one day and give me what for haha..

id say a big jaguar cichlid is just as aggressive or pound for pound salvini can be dam aggressive!

Personally, I would not have those fish in the hobby if I had my way. I would have no objection to having a fish that size in a public aquarium. I would recommend a 6 or 7-foot tank to keep 20 tiger barbs but that's only my opinion.

Wolfyy??

Men i don’t know if a grammodes grew a foot they’ll take out a dovii imo

I'm going for a salvini pound for pound mate. Horrible, horrible little fish.

Love my dovii!!!! He so fuckin awesome
