Calvin Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 .Hey guys I got a 25cm red devil in a 4x18x18 awesome fish! He's very interactive and I was wondering what sort of toys I should get for him, I have heard ping pong balls but I don't think he is just quite big enough for one of those yet, any suggestions? What do you guys have with your devils/single Americans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie7744 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 my 14 ich red devil smashes ping pong balls. he also love dive sticks. you know the ones you throw in the pool for kids to get from the bottom ? pretty much anything I put in the tank he will play with... then kil it can you pat yours and lift him up ? mine tends to swim around my hands rubbing himself against it. sorta like a kitten and your right they are very interactive.

Calvin Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Haha mine lets me pick him up and he tends to bite me every now and then I do play around with hm though cause I don't want him to jump through the top of the tank haha I'm a truck driver so he really needs some entertainment when I'm not here! I'll try ping pong balls, and the diving sticks! Any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heintz.G Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 +1 for Ping Pong balls my Jag used to love destroying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodie7744 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 ive heard little mirrors that are suction capped to one end of the tank can entertain them for a while. I personally have never tired this, only because when ever someone walks past the tank he head butts it quite hard. so id hate to see what we would do if he seen his own reflection, but id recommend giving it a go.

Lippa Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I used one of those red/white fishing floats for my devil. Bit stronger than the ping pong balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneself Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 The plastic sea mines work well if you can find a big enough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakypead Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 A marine pure ball, mine just pick them up and carry them round the tank, I'd probably only do it if you have substrate in your tank there not heavy but I'd worry they'd drop one from the top and crack the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneself Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Course nothing beats a zebra danio or two. They never last long though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 another red devil would be the ultimate but see the above comment as this can apply here too might be cool to get a kids toy floating boat...would look like a b grade 80's horror flick...monster from the deep attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I was thinking a female devil but he's pretty Agro so I don't think it would last haha! What sort of kids toy are you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) I was thinking a female devil but he's pretty Agro so I don't think it would last haha! What sort of kids toy are you thinking of? Was thinking one of those kids toy bath boats...maybe with a little captain on it and then the monster attacks the boat..ahhhhhh It could be the beginning of your b grade horror flick career...youtube it "Devil from the Deep" Then bring in a chopper and save him at the last minute.... See if Bruce Willis can do a voice over Edited December 15, 2014 by goldenswimmers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
