My Jag X Dovii Hybrid Is Getting Big Quick

[pelleeklund]

Just wanted to post a few pictures of Jon Bon Jovii. This guy has to be male, he’s lapping the other fish in my tank with size. He’s also surprisingly magnanimous, seeing as he could easily kill all of the others. Just gives them a quick flex and they scatter. Temporary homeostasis.

Thank you very much.

Wow he looks really nice, definitely looks like he takes more after a Dovii than a Jag, also this thread should be moved to the hybrid section.

Yep, this is definitely a hybrid, my bad central keepers, posted without thinking too much. Mods feel free to sort this appropriately.

Stunning fish. How big you think?

7 or 8 inches I’d guess, he’s got some hardware in the mouth too. I appreciate it guys, I haven’t liked a fish this much in a long time. He looks like a green Dovii. He’s in a 220 with what I assume is a female RD, a female Trimac and a female JD who are all about 4 inches. Plus his beta, a 4 or so inch Red Tiger Mota.

Very neat looking hybrid ya got there. Kinda looks like what ya would get from crossing a crappie with a largemouth bass. It's honestly really good looking compaired to others I've seen. I think it would be pretty neat if ya could get it to breed with the trimac or RD. Regardless tho it's still a beautiful fish ya got, keep up the good work.

Funny you should mention that, he’s been pretty good with both Amphs, doing the shimmy shake with both at times. We will see, they are all welcome in the meantime, and I have a divider at the ready if they decide to have a go at it. I agree though, it’s got a crappie vibe, I catch them all the time. Even got one in my pond. I think the excess spots come from his Jag heritage. Thanks for the input guys.
