Biggest pure Red Devil? post pix

[wiseman82]

Here's my guy, I was told when I bought him that he was a true Red Devil bred from a pair that were purchased from Rapps, he tolld me the whole story about how true Red Devils are hard to find in LPS and most have some kind of Midas mixed in them, but I did'nt think RD's got nuchal humps as big as mine, athough he is much longer and not as deep bodied as most Midas I've seen.

^^ Wow.... Either way that is one impressive fish.

Thanks, he's in a 55G and as you can see in the pics he pretty much touches the glass on both sides of the tank when he's turned sideways, I know he needs a bigger tank!

That's a gorgeous fish wiseman82, but it's a Midas (citrinellus). It is possible that by "Red Devil" the guy actually meant a pure citrinellus since the common name RD is sometimes used for both citrinellus and labiatus. He may have just had his story mixed up.

If it makes you feel better, you can send that cit to me and I'll send a nice lab your way!.........(I'm only partially kidding!)

wow i wish I had one for my 55 he would be a great stand alone fish. What kind of filtration does he require in that size tank ?
