    That was very interesting info! This species of fish is huge, my goodness. LOL the size difference between the male and female is nuts!! Heading to GuapoteMel now 😊

    Yeah, i've seen mel's large old male dovii. It was by far the largest male kept in a home aquaria that i've seen..although sadly he's no more but he holds his grandson and he's getting quite large as well. The other one was a male in a public zoo somewhere in the states i can't remember right now.
    Coincidentally, he also had 3 large male jags with a large ol female that passed away & they too were the largest of their kind that i've seen with Mel.
    I've been following him for quite long now 😅

    I was excited to see this video when I saw the title! Dovii are my favourite fish, and here, in Australia, they aren't particularly common. I have three males and one female, the biggest male being close to 17", and he's called Wolfie, in honour of Andy Woods' big boy! All of mine live in separate tanks, but I hope to introduce Wolfie and the female, Lady, to each other soon. Awesome video, Scott, love your work!

    Scott, really great content! Guapote Mel has a huge collection. I have concrete slab floors but the house is not big enough for a huge tank. Thank you again.

    These fish have indiscriminate growth, meaning they’ll grow their entire lives. With space, good water, food and husbandry these fish can get up to even 30”. Mel is definitely a pioneer in the hobby!

    Love the updated video! So amazing to me how much bigger he is than his mate!
    I've been loving these videos, and you and Liz couldnt be more adorable.
    A 75 gallon is as big as I can go with my old house, except for one tiny room with a concrete floor.

    Hey buddy 25+ year fish keeper here and 15+ year member on MFK. I live in Connecticut and have an empty 8x30x24 300 gallon aquarium. If at any point you want to rehome this beauty I'd drive to come get him. This is the only cichlid I'd want as a solo fish and would give him a forever home. Of course pics whenever you'd want

    i cnt even imagine what a 24-28" dovii is like in person ...ive seen bass that long but they arent as tall ....i had a pair of pearsei around 16-18" that were enormous because they were so tall like doviiand they mde my 350 look like severums in a 55 but they were peaceful and floated around imagine another ft on that in a super aggressive fish flying around the tank and you can easily see a 600 gallon not being too large ...insane

    Dovii grow over 32 inches there is a guy on Twitter holding two massive doviis this is what he wrote: My 2 biggest Guapotes- Doviis I wish I could have verified them. One was 14 lbs and the biggest one was 18 lbs. Well over 32 inches. The verified world record is 13 lbs lmao. Mine were caught in lake apanas,same lake the world record was caught #dovii #monsterfishkeepers #guapote
