I have a red devil female who is in with 2 smaller red devils and she chases them around but hasnt killed either one yet. I'm wondering if I introduce a large male, Flowerhorn or Red Devil Male, would that be a good idea to try to start a pair? I'm clueless when it comes to breeding and my female is really good looking and I want to breed her. She is about 8-10'' atleast. Thanks in advance for any advice. (The 2 smaller ones are about 2'' and the bigger small one is about 5-6''.
 
hi

i used to keep devils. i had a large 30cms psycho male in a 5ft tank divided into 2, then i put a smaller female in the other side... then he goes even crazy...
3 days later.. i found her in his side of the tank, didn't know how she got in there. a week later, they bred inside a claypot in one corner of the tank. at this stage, he stop acting nut, i even remove the divider, so the pair was living with oscar, fenestratuses and blackbelts.

so my suggestion is .. put a divider first, see how they react to each other, then remove the divider, and let nature takes it's course
