Calvin Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hey guys I have a male red devil, he's about 30cm roughly, doesn't have great colour not that thick not that high either, he's in a 4x18x18 planning on getting a 4x2x2 in my new room, but at the moment I just want to start growing him so he gets massive I see some Red Devils that are just incredible and I would love for mine to get like that, could you guys give me some advice on what I need to do to get my boy solid and huge? Appreciate any advice thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Shori for meaty tissue and some ocean free sticks for colour and accelerated bone growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

none Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Good food, regular water changes and plenty of room = maximum fish growth potential. Genetics also plays a huge part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borntobreed Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 All of the above + higher water temp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 My tank sits on 25 degrees now should it be higher? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lictoga Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 feeder shrimp are great for growth and colour, just make sure you use a healthy sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Most shops should have the ocean free. Its the new IT food lol. Shori is a bit harder to find and only comes in 5kg bags for around $150. Got people you can split it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Add a bit of blackworm (blackworm not bloodworm)- it is great for conditioning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pk333 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Good food, regular water changes and plenty of room = maximum fish growth potential. Genetics also plays a huge part. Hard to beat Genetics. If it isn't in the fish, nothing you do will help. As [MENTION=8516]none[/MENTION] said, Good food (=$$$), regular water changes (2 to 3 times a week and large like 50%), and a larger tank (6x2x2) will help your RD reach it's maximum potential.
