Dovi or Hogaboomorum

Postby smitty » Mon Dec 12, 2011 8:57 pm

I am at an impasse. I need to make a choice on whether to keep a mating pair of Dovi's or get rid of my Amphilophus Hogaboomorums (6) that look really good and something you do not see around often. The Hogs are currently in my 200 gal tank which I would like to keep just Vieja. The Dovi's look great and spawn every chance they get. My only other option would be to get another tank which I really did not want to do and at this point I am not considering an option.

210gal- Argta,Bifsct,Fnstrtus,Maculcda,Regani,Syns,Zntus; 4 AC P.Filters; 2 AC P.Hds; Eheim 2250,2262; FX5

I agree a second tank is best lol but if i had to choose i would pick Hogaboomorum, i dont know my 12inch male is much more outgoing and personable then my pair of dovi ever are.

Another tank appear to be the way I am headed. But whatever i get it will have to be at least 265 gallons.
