| The dovii are cool. I'd feel guilty puttin' one in a 6' tank though. Now the parrots, I wouldn't mind havin' a coupla them. Fit in real nice in a SA themed tank, with some oscars and some Gymmies or Geos. Add a half dozen silver dollars and a coupla mid-sized catfish. WYite | |

Yup, only even bigger and meaner. Now a few folks may see this as sacrilegious, but I think a 2 foot dovii on the end of some 8 lb. test would be one wicked fight. Probly put a trout to shame. WYite | |

WYite I think it would be fun also. People have to remember almost every large cichlid we keep is a food fish in its native land. | |

| A 180 would be adequate housing for an adult breeding pair of Wolf Cichlids (Parachromis dovii). However, a 240 would be best, taking into account the provisions of plenty of hiding spaces for the much smaller female.
I have kept these in the past and really enjoyed them. They can be kept with other boisterous and pugnacious cichlids, but only in a large aquarium. Unfortunately, when it comes to breeding, they will literally destroy all other aquarium inhabitants. | |
