Insane. Rarely have I ever seen a peaceful one in a community tank. This cichlid has no fear of other fish. Regardless of size. I’m gonna get a baby one in my 4 footer which should do him fur a while. Great video.
How long did it take your red devil to become that aggressive? Was he like that as a baby or did the aggression start when he reached adulthood? I have a juvenile RD that’s extremely skittish and shy. Runs from everything.
Thought of getting rid of my Africans and adding a large fish like Red Devils to my tank. Think my 9 inch clown loaches (group of 3) will do ok with a 9 and 12 inch red devil?? I also can get my hands on a large dovii or flowerhorn not all of em but my choice to add to the 125.
Try trimaculatus, chancho cichlids, managuense, arrow cichlids all but the managuense are in the same genus as the red devil and have the size and temperament to co exist with a red devil
Had one of these long ago, looked just like yours, took over a whole 50 gallon tank, meanest fish ever, the pitbull of the cichlid world. lol If you really want to see the males go ape shit put a mirror up to the tank.
Dang, never had anything like that happen but maybe it's not such a good idea! They're awesome fish, them and Oscars are like having a pet dog in a tank. Cheers!
A buddy of mine has him now about an hour from me. Hes a good 15 inch and super thick. He ruined a 150g and a 125g of mine by non stop peeling off the silicone in the corner of the tank when bored so to avoid another disaster i thought it was best. My friend has already went through both a 150 and a 125g as well with him within the last year and multiple tank lights. He has to keep his tank about a foot below the waterlevel if he wants to keep his lights 🤣
@@chrisroundscichlids3929 Jesus 15 inches of pure fury lmao And here I thought my 12 inch female Butti was mean asf🤣 Good to know that he’s still doing well man. One of the best Red Devils I’ve ever seen.

Nope...nothing will do ok with Red devils... Even Oscars won't make it sometimes.. I speak from experience.
Try trimaculatus, chancho cichlids, managuense, arrow cichlids all but the managuense are in the same genus as the red devil and have the size and temperament to co exist with a red devil
too much for a 125
how old is he? i got mine at 1.5 inches 3 months ago...he is now 5 3/4" i love how fast he grows but he is out growing his tankmates really fast haha
about a year and a half
Damn
nice devil did you have him from a baby or he was already big
I got him at 6-7 inches by accident actually
Helo bạn nhe mình đả tt bạn ok

Billdo O'Reilly ya i used to do that but he splits his lip open on the glass so i stopped

Billdo O'Reilly So true.
My black belt beat the lining out my devil. he was tank boss for awhile though...
Beautiful fish do you still have him
Justin Stuart yes
@@chrisroundscichlids3929 how did you get him to be so aggressive?I have one and hes shy.
Is it a male one
Any update on him?

Looks like a Midas to me
Hes not :)
Bred both amphilophus labiatus and citrinellus for over a decade and have sold 1000s of each species every year
@@chrisroundscichlids3929 get him straight!🤣
This is a Midas Cichlid & not a red devil
Isitna male one
