    When life gives you lemon's make lemonade... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    So as you all know my female dovii decided to launch herself out of the tank and did not make it. So, I decided to move the male dovii into my 125 in the living room. I also moved my female jag into the tank. I moved the Jag first and then the Dovii. The jag is around 8-9" and the Dovii is like same size, maybe a little smaller. I also threw my silver dollars in there as dither fish. Well when I added the dovii I had to run to the store and came home to a tank full of "glitter". The glitter was the scales of the silver dollars, the Dovii HATES them and chases them nonstop. I witnessed a five minute territorial dispute earlier between the dovii and jag, but aggression has been minimal. They lip locked for mere seconds and then did the circle thing for a bit. I believe the Dovii w declared himself the winner, he is still cruising the tank in the open, but the Jag got the hiding place so I am not really sure. Anyway, I will try an get some videos/pictures as soon as my camera battery is charged. :twisted:


    Edit: I forgot to add that neither has even looked at the catfish. Well, I take that back the Jag liked his rock pile, but couldnt take it over.
