Very Aggressive Fish - The Growing Pains of keeping a Wolf Cichlid “Parachromis dovii“

Finally the Update Video!! Click Link Below Can’t get enough? Try this link too ;) Enjoy a video of my pet fish attack. I wanted to document and share the super aggressive nature of my large Wolf Cichlid. As you can see from this video, my fish is very angry and try’s to attack me at any chance he can. Being bitten by him would surely inflict some damage as you can see he has large sharp teeth. This is definitely a nasty and vicious fish that should be kept on its own and in a very large of a 180 gallons. If you decide to keep other fish with a Dovii, expect constant fighting until they have either killed everybody or you will be removing them one by one or all at once. Keeping these mean fish long term with any other tank mates will prove practically impossible and should be only kept in a species only aquarium. Dovii can also grow quickly, up to 12 inches in one year. You will definitely go through headaches keeping an aggressive animal like this. My list of other highly aggressive fish in no particular order that I have personally kept : 1. Black Piranha “Serrasalmus rhombeus“ 2. Asian Red Tail Catfish “Hemibagrus wyckioides“ 3. Midas Cichlid & Red Devil “Amphilophus citrinellus“ “Amphilophus labiatus“ 4. Hornet Tilapia “Tilapia buttikoferi“ 5.
