Dovii battles Trimac for survival - A MUST SEE

- In the waters of Central America there are many battles. Battles for survival. Many times a cichlid produces hundreds of fry with that hope that 50 will survive and become grown. Today we look at an example of what "MIGHT" happen in the wild and see the startling and amazing behaviors of the Parachromis Dovii
Sorry I missed the premiere. I'm such a slacker. Congrats again on your beautiful grandbaby ❤

Ty Sir- glad you enjoyed it and I hope to see more of you! TY so much for viewing and leaving a comment
Sry I missed the premiere but had to watch the replay. Another great video!
TY my Jedi Brother! Hope to see you tonight at 7
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I hope I can be there also but we do have company coming over for food and drinks tonight.
You got a new subscriber my man. Excellent and beautiful tank. What do you feed them and how often?
Tri Mac looks amazing brother
Chris Matsko I love that Trimac sooooo much! Hope you are well my friend
Don"t know if you see this comment but I am subscribed. I don't know you are aware while Dovii or Legunero are primarily a fish of the lake, "la gumero," the pairs produced so many fry that in stream ) rivers or creeks) they wind up losing some in the wild. Convict cichlids (Amatitlantia nigrofasciatia) and Blue demon or Neet or Poorman's trophrus cichlids (formerly Neetroplus now Hypsohprys nematopus) and other fish will attack the fry. The Macaw or Nic cichlid (Hypsohprys nicaraguensis has a hard time breeding in the presence of large colonies of Neets. Nics with farther up loose fry of Lagunero (Dovii) and adopt the fry until they can protect themselves. In the wild Neets are known to act like cleaner fish to large cichlids except for Legunero. This increase the ability for Legunero to control Neelt populations.
Keep doing what you do Scott and congrats on your grand baby .
I appreciate you ! Ty for viewing and leaving a comment
Nice new camera bro....and as always the info is on point
Darrell Shields appreciated my friend. I hope you will check us out today at 7 LIVE
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I attend every live show sir, count me in.
Neat video.
Do you think I could temporarily house a breeding pair with a trimac while my other 180 comes ?
That trimac is a beauty ! I would love one like that to go with my female. Love the videos by the way , thumbs up from the uk 👍👍
TY SO much for viewing I greatly appreciate it! IF you are up Liz and I will be on LIve tonight at 7pm eastern time, hope to see you!
Great video 👍🏻
Simple fish Life ty so much!!! Means a lot. Hope to see you at 7pm when we go live
King and Queen Cichlids will be mate 👍🏻
Great video 👍
TY Brother that means alot! Glad you enjoyed it
Hello me&wifey have a ? We have a dovii pair that's just over 1 year old could somebody tell us whats the age for female to spawn because we might separate them now thanks.
I missed the premiere 😢 great video, love watching good parents behaviour, I've got some kribensis fry at the moment but the numbers are dwindling every day and it's only the parents in there with them.
Always good to see you Aqua Mate- can you pull the remaining fry out and put them in a separate tank? TY so much for viewing and leaving a comment
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I think I might have too, congratulations too 👼
This was a great video you should show more behavioural videos of fish.
TY Russell that means alot= i do appreciate that
Dude your trimac is nuts I know this video is about the dovii but hes all I can look at
Mr Scott I’ve been a fan for awhile now alittle upset you left the hobby…but where can I find those dovii with the yellow pattern to them?
Scott, l love the fish rooms. I wanted to comment regarding the dovii pair. You spoke about removing the male, what about the option of removing the Trimac and allowing the pair to have full access to the space. Maybe that would possibly relieve the stress on the male since he would have more space to escape the females aggression. I do believe you are correct about the Trimac’s presence creating stress. I could be wrong also, but you mentioned that removing one from the pair could be detrimental to the one left with the fry. I apologize for my first post suggesting something since you definitely have way more experience than me and I have learned a lot from your content so far. Please keep posting the videos. I have been out of the hobby for 18 years and I wish I could get back into it again.
Love your comment Ron, the situation is (i talked about it in a few past videos) i had to take fish from my garage and put them into my tanks in my fish room. I am having some electrical issues where the fuse was tripping causing the entire garage to have no power. I came home one day to find all my tanks in the garage shut off with the water tempatures in the low 60s. I decided then to bring my fish from the garage in and for lack of a better word, divide my 6 foot tanks with dividers to make room for the fish coming out of garage. So your suggestion is right i would put the Trimac in separate tank- the problem is space and not overloading the fuse box. It is being looked at currently and i hope we have a solution soon. Normally in my 6 foot tanks i keep a single pair to each 150 gallon tank. To have these tanks divided with fish from other tanks is frustrating for me but a necessary evil until i can return them to their regular tanks. Thanks for the great comment and question
King and Queen Cichlids Scott that must be frustrating. I hope you can find a good electrician that beef up the circuit or make another circuit to spread the current load and maybe even create a safety/ backup source. I used to have a Dovii pair in 2000. I had the female first from a fry and she grew to be a confident terror. She got to be about 7 inches when I found a larger male Dovii being sold as a black belt cichlid, LOL! They got along for 2 months in a 135. One day she lost her mind and killed him. I was not so experienced then but I ultimately found a fish store that would take her since I had to do a military transfer. She defeated everything including a larger red devil. The male was the only fish she tolerated for a while. They never had eggs hatch though. I later had a Trimac after the transfer and a few others. I struggled with water quality and over crowding. My Trimac mated with female jaguar and I had several hundred hybrids that over run the system. I could not give enough of them away to make room. They looked like flower horns with red eyes! I found yet another fish store to take them. I had to transfer again and I sold the setup. I had also raised a male Feastae to full size. If I ever get back In to it, I would have a 300 plus gallon with a lone male umbee and massive filtration. I love seeing your jaguars and Dovii since I have never owned any at the full size. You are doing what you love and I thank you for sharing the journey!
@@ronc7998 ty again brother for taking the journey with me- sounds like you have had a lot of experience yourself! Stay tuned lots more to come
This is a good fish
Evander Norris ty sir
OMG BABIES!!! Great video as usual, and nice K&Q Theme song! 😁
The Zen Ginger Ty we love you! Hope to see you Saturday night at 7pm
My female Dovii is 8 inches. And my male Dovii is 6 inches. Will I be able to still breed them even though the male is smaller? I’ve noticed that with everyone else’s pair the male is bigger than the female.
Wow
TY
It's important to note - genera don't do battle, - individuals do.
KQC on the rise! love your vids. congrats on GB.
TY so very much I really appreciate your kind kind words! Please join us Saturday at 7pm, we would love to see you at our livestream
Awesome job, I wish I had a tank big enough for dovii but I only have a 75 gallon tank. I'm thinking about getting a jaguar if I can find a store that has them. Did you think a 75 gallon tank is big enough for a jaguar?
Michael Gunderson a 75 will work for a short time but they will need a 6 foot tank eventually. Ty for viewing and commenting
Could u not use an opaque divider or paint that glass divider so that both the species arn't able to see each other. Maybe this can be done to cool things up...
Arindam Das yes I discussed it in the video that I could paint it but I rather keep it clear. The plants seem to be working well. Thanks for watching and giving a great suggestion
I like this fish
Evander Norris which fish do you like the best? Ty for viewing and leaving a comment
#EPIC
TY my good friend!!!!!!!!
Why don't you make the divider dark so they cant see each other ,
I mention my reason for not doing that in the video
Sorry didn't get to watch the end , now watched , brilliant idear
I’m a need you to help me set up my 55 gallon tank with two pairs of those
55 will not be big enough for one pair much less 2. it can be a "starter" tank if the dovii are small but you will have to upgrade very quickly
Is a 150 big enough for a pair forever?
No my forever tank for my other pair of Dovii is a 220 gallon tank. At their current size the 150 will work. TY for asking and viewing the video
Well learned alot more about dovii. I build a huge tank to eventually house my old commonity i had back in the days wich was red terror, jags and syspillium and texas.
Well the terrors where first and paired up. Then i got 2 syspillium and a texas 20cm ish. Had to take em out after 2hours.
So then j thought let's try a jag. What turned out to be a jagovii... bigger rhan the red terror male.
But again the red terrors lived up to their name. I didnt wanted to fk up my whole aquascape to retry for 3rd time. So think ima buy another tank for in the livingroom. No plants just wood and good filtration and nitrate filter. Any advise on how to get dovii on pallets? Mine only eats live food. Earth worms and fish. Tried frozen fish but he doesnt like em dead.
I got my red terrors to eat pellets by starving them a bit. They actuallly love them now but dont feel comfy yet doing it to the jagovii until hes fully healed and in his new tank. What does your dovii eat?
Keeping an aggressive fish next to a fish family is creating the stress. Maybe pull bothmales out of tank and let female have the entire tank
To be honest my female jag decided to eat her fry but I saw the male chasing that female nearly to the death. So I took the female oun and my male protected his fry all by himself!
Needed to give them away cuz to much stress to bring them together again. :(
My thought would be to move the trimac
🥰😁👍👈
notNolajane FishRich ty. I have no idea what you are saying but Ty! Lol. See you at 7pm I hope
Good job mate. 💪
That is interesting behaviour. I can't think of another species where the female pushes the male about to do the dirty work. 😜
Have you met my wife Liz??? LMAO!!! God i hope she doesnt see this!!! TY for watching brother and leaving a comment
@@ScottMclaughlinJ haha, yeah that's where I was going with that. I have a Liz equivalent too. Hope Mrs DKF doesn't see this either. 😜😂😂
Was a good video mate. Enjoyed it very much. 👍
@@DanielKeepingFish means the world to me, ty so much!!!!
Dovii Vs Trimac
That female dovii reminds me of my wife 🤣
So you just added an aggressive fish you knew would stress a breeding pair out? it only resulted in the pair turning on each other. seemed unnecessary
They were both introduced at the same time into tank. I wouldn’t have put him in if the pair had bred and had fry. In fact up until this tank move they hadn’t bred for me.
King and Queen Cichlids ooooh ok lol I thought you were simulating something that would happen in the wild
No but I did say this probably happens in the wild. And honestly I know several famous hobbyist who keep various species of cichlids with no dividers and they just let nature take its course. Thanks for viewing and asking questions I appreciate it
move the trimac.
Congrats, a nice video! A great like for you! See you on my channel! 😄
cracks me up everytime i see this lol
Switch female dovii
I didn’t enjoy it, only came for the “battle”.
It’s 2020 time to stop the ever so cringy “it’s ya boi” intro...
Nah- i like saying that but ty for your thoughts
