Guys, before you buy a dovii (wolf cichlid), please research them, especially their behaviour and size.
Wolf Cichlids are most probably the most aggressive cichlid we can buy. They grow to a size of 2ft long, and are pure power.
You should keep these beasts in nothing less than a 6x2x2 tank. That is for one male! Females are slightly smaller.
You wouldn't have much luck with trying to put anything else with them, unless you buy a juvenile dovii at around 2" and put a midas of around 3" in with it, and let them grow up together.
Also, they need feeding lots of meaty foods, ie beefheart, so filteration must be very strong.
Please reconsider buying a dovii unless you have the correct tank size...

Then i hav to drop the idea. I was planning to keep it in a 3ft

with a 3ft, you will definitely stunt the growth of the fish.

which sometimes i find pointless...because one of the main appeals of such fish is their size. their full beauty will only come with a reasonable size.


so having a fish we cannot have room to grow is as good as not having it.

[Mez]

Exactly. Either that or it would quickly outgrow the tank.
Well done on not getting the dovii.
If you are looking for an aggressive cichlid for a 3ft tank, you could try a Jack Dempsey or a Gold Saum (aka Green Terror).

What about a pair of Jaguars?

Jags still too big for a 3ft IMO..males can reach 16 inches.
