I hope those 2 Dovii are not male. They will tear the tank apart fighting......What size tank do you have them in.... As large males they generally demand their own tank and will readily kill to obtain it. Don't be suprised in a huge aggression spurt when they get older...

Are these like leapord cichlids? They sure look like them. If so, I agree with Jamie... they are ruthless to eachother. My LFS has a breeding pair of these right now. They are like a 12-16" at least. Anyway, we got to talking about them. He jokingly compared them to a bass and a baricuda. I went to point to the male which had a huge scar on it side and it would've bit my finger off if not for the glass. It's a pretty intimidating fish. Anyway, the scar was from another male leopard cichlid... he said, the other one didn't make it.

Nevermind my leopard cichlid nonsense... it was a jaguar cichlid. Sorry about that. Mind is slipping... Getting old I guess. :O

They get really big, and are very aggressive, I think you will need like a 75gal tank at least.
