With exception of big blue guy with loiselle all dovii pics above are 4"- 6" showing juvenile marks and note even females get green so not sure way to draw conclusions

One last question too, his lip seems to have a scratch or something as I noticed those white spots. Is that something I should be concerned about?

they get those spots from swimming up and down against the glass. every oscar i've ever owned got them all the time, everytime i'd walk by the tank they would swim up and down right up front, begging for food. do you notice your dovii doing that from time to time?

those are some beauriful fish! i've seen lots of pics and videos over the years and have never seen a female with that much color! if you have some juvies left over i would def love to have 1 from that line! i'd be willing to pay too

It's a female imo, spots in the fins is the easiest way to sex small dovii fact.
No spots it's female.
Spots it's male.

I just got a dovii about 4-5 inches. It's in a 75 gallon tank right now with an aquaclear 110. I had it for about a week. Kind of shy still and eats about 5-6 pellets per feeding and loves krill. I feed it 2-3 times daily. I plan on doing my first water change by the end of this week and then I'll do one maybe 2 per week. I'm thinking maybe 50% water changes. Since this is my first time owning a dovii, I just wanted any tips you all might have and also any help if you could identify the sex of my dovii. I think it's a male but here's a pic:

What size tank are you planning to upgrade to?

What size tank are you planning to upgrade to?

Honestly, whatever I can get my hands on. I want to get something like a 210 gallon. What size would you recommend?

Female Dovii a 210 would be fine, for a male 240 gallon atleast.

If it is a female, I'm just hoping she gets at least some color on her. The males get so pretty
