so you know that your parrot cichlid is half red devil don't you? so would you keep two red devils in the same tank that you are not sure of their sex? why do you think that the parrot cichlid is a female? have you seen her lay eggs... you are taking a risk and if they are just dancing maybe you are right maybe you do have a pair and in that case get ready for fifty or so red devils... ha ha ha ha just what everybody needs huh?

if they do breed then you might consider rehousing the pike and oscar. breeding red devils can be downright psychotic and no other tankmates (including the mate) are safe.

they do definitely look like they're doing a breeding dance though.
