fishkeeper101 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hi all the other day i purchased a female red devil cichlid that is aout 8 inches she is housed with a pleco. Anyway today i looked at my breeding pair of convicts tank and the female had got herself stuckin a cave somehow. Any way i felt sorry for the male as they have been togeather for 2 years. He is a big boy at 6 inches with a big bumb on his head. Anyway today i introduced him with the red devil because of her good temperment ( she doesnt even eat feeder goldfish) and they are getting along fine sitting togeathermunder a plant and eating togeather. Is this bad having them togeather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machdad71 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I thought my Red Devil in my tank with my 3 Oscars, 2 Pleco's and Convict were all fine together until one day I came home and my Red Devil had absolutely bashed the **** out of my Convict to such an extent he ended up dying and he was my favorite out of the lot of them and this was after having them all in the same tank for a year. I have since taken my R.D out of the tank and now she is in a tank on her own as I just cant trust her anymore. Red Devils are generally a highly aggressive fish and I have read that they will kill every fish in a tank one by one until they are the last fish standing. Maybe it's different with yours but I implore you to watch her closely because mine was a female as well so never turn your back. I have heard two Convicts together in a tank can hold their own but my Devil never ate feeder fish including Goldfish and Gudgeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
