Great video. I have a Red Devil and I’ve fallen in love with him. So much personality and i think it’s time to put him in his own tank now and let him live like a king
Thanks Paul, great video I love red devil and midas cichlids, I have a 13 inch midas named mangler and a 10 inch red devil that I raised from a egg.he was born on January 4 2019 on my birthday. That makes him very special. Thanks again love your fish and your channel.
Good vid Paul I definitely like the point about size to many jag/ dovii / umbee floating about in 5/6 foot tanks simply not big enough , I love the Lyonsi as it tops out at 12 ish perfect for a 500/ 600 litre tank
@@bigfishlad4847 bro absolutely I have fish that I can pet and push around of course in a sense they’re just attacking my hand but still awesome interactions. I love the white in yours sadly I never could select from any that had white they were ALL solid orange. But still good colors. Still love that white tho.
Red devils are my favorite fish I wish the barred red devil I had was half as docile as this one I couldn't keep anything in the tank but gravel which he pile up on the sides and a very sturdy heater .even considered putting cardboard on the front of the tank cause he would freak out if you got near the tank
Beautiful fins on that fish dude! That is how I keep mine too. My pleco is ripped on its fins tho big aggression level even more than that shown in your vid. Still impressive species and beautiful coloration.
There could be a sixth reason: hardiness - these guys can survive and thrive in a wide range of waters. I can't go without one do just purchased one locally. Crossing my fingers he'll be okay the the community for a while.
There's so many of me mates who say flowerhorn or oscar make the best wet pet or full of personality, but honestly red devils aren't that far behind they are a close third separated only by preference, hell I rank a red devil having personality as much as a flowerhorn, oscars are fine.... the only problem i have with oscars is that they sulk...... Personally red devil is my number 1, the reason flowerhorns aren't my number 1 is because it's man-made/hybridized
Great video. I have a Red Devil and I’ve fallen in love with him. So much personality and i think it’s time to put him in his own tank now and let him live like a king
Thanks bud appreciate it yes they are addictive such great personality he will be a king on his own
I just picked up a tiny red devil yesterday. What great timing 🤣 I've named him Lucifer.
Nice one lol great fish mate and cheers for watching
Had one back in the 90's the personality like you said he was hilarious
All very good reasons 😀 I absolutely love the red devil but I'm being strict on myself only having the one aquarium.. Great video 👊
Cheers bud appreciate it good on you for staying strong lol
Stunning, another one I’ve never kept, great video BFL.
Cheers Bill 👍
Yeah i have her from my job they gave her to me cuz she was killing everything in the tank. Lol i love my girl had her for almost 5 years

Its nice to hear when people have raised them from a spawn been a while since I have done that and thanks so much Bruce
This is my first time watching your videos..great info..can the red 😈?..can be whit different or similar fish?
Thank you very much appreciate your support, i see them with other big cichlids but I dont really mix them to be honest
Good vid Paul I definitely like the point about size to many jag/ dovii / umbee floating about in 5/6 foot tanks simply not big enough , I love the Lyonsi as it tops out at 12 ish perfect for a 500/ 600 litre tank
Cheers mate yes Lyonsi are stunning as well
My female red devil is ten years old. She has the most personality of any fish I’ve seen.
Absolutely fantastic fish arnt they
I recently purchased a Midas. I'm not sure what sex it is. It seems to be getting along well with the other Cichlids in the tank.
Nice one you will love it its a fantastic fish to keep, thank you for watching
Beautiful species. I would like one one day. Definite water puppy. Great video Mate 👍🏽👀❤️
Cheers man yes a great fish you would get be disappointed
Great vid bud, excellent points too, gotta love those amphilophus 🐟🤩
Cheers mate appreciate it loads 👍
What would you call this color variant? I want this exact look😂
Its called Piebald 👍💯
Okay sick!
Beautiful fish! I’ve had mine for coming on a year and he’s still not as big but getting there in at 7-8”
A good size yours and they are fantatlstic fish ain't they such wet pets, thank you very much James appreciate it

@@Cichlid_4_ever Cheers pal he actually lives with my mate now a days proper miss him
@@bigfishlad4847 the years you had him how little was he when you got him?
@@Cichlid_4_ever I got him at about 8in I had him 3 years and he was about 11in when he went all an estimate
I see this video was 1 year ago, but I was hoping you would tell me what size tank would you recommend for a full grown male?
In my opinion a 125g is probably enough to be honest but bigger the better 👍💯
This is my first time to watch one of your videos..great info..the red 😈?..can be whit different or similar fish?
Red devils blackbelts and flowerhorns are such beautiful fish.
Yes all 3 of those are unreal ain't they 👌💯
Real nice fish
Cheers Tommy
Red devil my favorite amphilophus, we have a female down in the fishroom and we love her for all the reasons you mentioned spot on mate🙂👍🏻
Thanks Jeff let's see your female bet she is stunning
BigFishLad coming up soon! I need to get my video act together, been almost a month now!
@@pelhamsaquatics we miss you Jeff lol

The Amphilophus genus is spectacular, so many different variations… You’ll never get bored because of their diversity. 🫡
Absolutely agree with you one that i would love a collection of a few thanks for watching 👍💯
Are females as aggressive as males? I want one in my mixed aquarium
The females I have had in the past have not been as aggressive as the males I have had to be honest
great vid bro
Thanks bud 👍💯
Beautiful fins on that fish dude! That is how I keep mine too. My pleco is ripped on its fins tho big aggression level even more than that shown in your vid. Still impressive species and beautiful coloration.
Cheers pal appreciate it yes mental when they are on one ain't they
Their just like owning A dog get personality. I never knew I could be loved by a fish
This so true 💯
An amazing fish..
Thank you very much
He impresses every time I see him… and so does Jagger 😂😂
He’s a belter I’d love one if I had multiple tanks
😂😂😂 Cheers mate
There could be a sixth reason: hardiness - these guys can survive and thrive in a wide range of waters. I can't go without one do just purchased one locally. Crossing my fingers he'll be okay the the community for a while.
Yes they are really hardy fish nothing ever bothers them so good point 👍💯 fingers crossed it works mate 🤞
Beautiful Devil, I definitely miss owning one
Thanks 👍 yes I think I would miss this guy to be fair
I would love to have a red devil but I can only have the one tank and it’ll need to be a South American community tank.
Yes I love him but it does take a tank which you could have more in lol cheers for watching bud 👍 💯
Thanks mate
Thanks for watching 👍💯
Your red devil gender?
Male 👍
I made a video of the fish you can watch and comment 🙏🙏
Driving to work and Binge watching BIG FISH LAD 💪😎👍
Yesssss I love that Funk no pressure then 😂
About size jags will only top about 14-16 inches in captivity
Yes thats true get much bigger in the wild though
got 2 not sure iv got tanks for them lol
Thought you wanted my Midas too lol
@@bigfishlad4847 i did but ended up with 2 of them aswell 🙈
Hahaha what you got and what size bud?
My female has a huge hump on her head.
That’s literally the ugliest fish I’ve ever seen in my life. Lol. I love the Oscar’s though. I’ve seen some Oscar’s that are just downright gorgeous.
I suppose its each to their own and all that cheers for watching and yes love the good old Oscar
There's so many of me mates who say flowerhorn or oscar make the best wet pet or full of personality, but honestly red devils aren't that far behind they are a close third separated only by preference, hell I rank a red devil having personality as much as a flowerhorn, oscars are fine.... the only problem i have with oscars is that they sulk......
Personally red devil is my number 1, the reason flowerhorns aren't my number 1 is because it's man-made/hybridized
Yes Flowerhorns are always going to be the best but like you I say Red Devil lol Oscars are funny when they sulk thanks for watching 👍
I want a devil or midas but have no room.
Hopefully you will one day and thanks for all the comments and for watching
I have one pair and my favourite fish 🐠🎏 I have ten reasons 😀😂😀
Hahaha yes I agree but the video would be to long lol thanks for watching bud
