    Awesome species profile mate, love the Nicaraguan, stunning colours, great for a central community, and can hold their own, thinking of getting a male for my female 😁

    Great video Paul. There’s so much more to this incredible transitionary species than most know.
    Have you watched Willem Heijns video on his expedition and observations in Lago Nicaragua?
    I love how you suddenly became a fluent Spaniard when you pronounce the species name. I do the same lol

      I find this species more so than most truly fascinating for its rather unique behaviours and relationships with Parachromis dovii and Neetroplus nematopus

    Mate I've got a question for you, I've recently acquired a male dovii (dream fish) and he is about 9 inches at the moment. The tank i was going to keep him in for the next few months is unfortunately no longer viable (accident) so my only other option is my 4 foot 60 gallon quarantine tank. I'm not in a position right now to get him a larger tank and obviously the quarantine tank isn't ideal. How long do youn reckon he can stay in there for? Water changes and maintenance will always be top notch its just too small of a tank. How long till that starts hurting him so to speak?
    Thanks for the awesome content as always bud 👍 cheers

      Hi mate thanks for watching 👍 yes I touch and go that ain't it a 9in in a 4ft it could work for a temporary measure but it needs room to grow so yes if water kept OK it would be for a short while
