Ryan Mahe Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 how big are they? what size tank are they in? when i bred dovii my female was about 12" and my male was about 9", they were fine right up until they bred, then she went beserk and shreded him, had to keep them with a divider ever since. best solution is lots of space IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybrid Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 2 options make a tank divider or buy a 300+ gallon aquarium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachromis1 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I agree with hybrid. I've had many of these, some well over a foot. a pair will annihilate each other in a small tank. you need to put in a divider or separate the pair.
